Georgia asked coldly.
“The Wimbledon family invests in an especially broad range of industries, but a few certain industries are their core. One is the Albertson Group, the pharmaceutical company sitting at the top of the entire world, selling drugs and medical equipment on a global scale. No matter how perfect, drugs have side effects, and sometimes, live lab results come up with mistakes, an biopharmaceutical companies are sometimes black-hearted enough to put failed drugs on the market, worsening patients’ conditions. The same is true widely across the Albertson Group.
“But their company has always handled press very well. They suppress such news right away in their entirety, and for more serious leaks, they change tactics and placate the patient or the patient’s family with enough money. Ruining such an organization would only mean losing a third of their property for their family, Mrs. Simpson, but to have them give up their own wealth is taboo to a filthy rich clan like theirs.
“So you can hurt them, make them feel that the loss of capital is unbearable. I’ll send you the evidence of problems in a few core industries of their family. As for what to do next… I believe, Mrs. Simpson, that you and the people behind you understand.”
“Mr. Darren, you want to sit on the sidelines and watch, then profit from everything, then?”
Georgia sneered, while Darren smirked.
“I can’t abide the Albertson Group, but losing a research result is a loss of a few billions. So I’m willing to help you Mrs. Simpson, and provide evidence, but the Ace Group doesn’t have the capital to face down the Albertson Group now. I have to keep my company afloat.
“As for you, Mrs. Simpson, you have the capital to fight them. You can at least hurt them and force them to return your husband. The Wimbledons are a large family. No matter how much of a clever genius Eric Wimbledon is, the moment they suffer, they’ll abandon this head of the family all the same. I’ll send you information about the Wimbledon family internal structure and the relations between them along with the documentation.
“Oh, right, I forgot about one thing.”
Darren flashed an apologetic smile and clapped his hands.
Soon after, Georgia saw a bodyguard bring a young girl over.
The girl looked to be about ten years old, but her body was scarily thin, and her face was extremely pale.
She looked timidly at them. Georgia couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
“What’s the meaning of this? Who is this girl, Darren?”
“She’s Adolf’s daughter. Kept secret, but seriously ill. She needs a regular fortune in hospital fees. I know you’ve found Adolf. All the sick things he’s done was for his daughter, born with immunodeficiency. She comes down with all sorts of strange diseases all the time. Adolf’s mad experiments has kept his daughter alive all these years.
“I believe Adolf wouldn’t have spilled anything in your grasp. But bring this girl over, and he’ll give up the truth honestly. He cares about his daughter a great deal.”
That was a wealth of preparation. No matter what, Darren had helped her.
“Thank you for telling me all this, Darren, and providing evidence and assistance. I’ll bring my husband back safe. Just wait.”
Georgia spoke, then signalled Wilson with a glance.
Finally, they took the girl away.
The girl was weak and skinny, and after Darren handed her over to Georgia’s people, she found that she was bound tight with ropes. Georgia felt a twinge of pity.
She had them loosen the bonds a little so it didn’t chafe the girl’s skin.
The girl’s mouth had been taped shut, and Georgia had them take it off too.
The girl started babbling with questions, in a great panic.
“Why did you grab me? Who are you?”
“We’re taking you to see your father. He did something that hurt a lot of people. If he doesn’t tell the truth, it’ll hurt my family and a lot of innocents.”
Georgia spoke, and the girl looked at her fearfully.
“My Dad isn’t that kind of person. He’s the best Dad in the whole world. You’re lying!”
Even in such fear and in such a situation, the girl still remembered to protect her own father.
Georgia looked gently at her.
“Of course he’s the best daddy in the whole wide world to you. But to someone else, that might not be the case.”
Georgia didn’t want to say too many cruel things to a frail, fragile girl like this. She had kids too.
With the girl this fragile and sickly, she had only survived this long with her father’s deranged efforts.
Someone with a malfunctioning immune system could lose their life from randomly catching a cold.
It was a miracle that her father Adolf could have supported her this long.
But as for the price, perhaps that could be seen in the decoded documents.
