Randy laughed happily at this moment.
"It was effective in making an example of them this time. Kenny is in jail and Dora is now being chased by the guys from the casino to pay them back every day and gets beaten up pretty badly every now and then. Those with ulterior motives have been very quiet lately and are not meeting with other forces. It looks like it will be calm for a long time. This trick really works."
"The company is still in your hands and I will leave the external affairs alone for the time being. I have no problem with this document. You take the file away and start making arrangements."
Randy finished his lunch before leaving.
But before he left, Robert's mother, Maisie, returned just at that time.
Robert instantly became a little apprehensive and wondered what his mother had said to Georgia's mother.
He didn't even know how to look at his mother now.
When he had sent Randy away, he saw his mother standing just outside the room. This was where the two children were studying, and Rick was still in there giving the children lessons.
And his mother was standing outside looking at the two children.
"Mum, why are you standing here? Have you had lunch?"
Robert asked Maisie, who shook her head.
"I haven't had lunch and I don't have an appetite for the moment. You don't have to ask the maid to prepare it. I just suddenly wanted to come and see Anaya and Annie. One of them is my granddaughter and one of them is my grandson. I just inexplicably wanted to see more of them."
Maisie smiled, but turned and walked over to the living room.
Robert hurriedly followed her.
"You don't have to be so careful. Your mother-in-law and I just had a little chat, and nothing happened. I didn't bully her, and she certainly didn't bully me. You go about your business."
It looked like his mother didn't want anyone bothering her, and Robert just had to leave and ask the men who had followed his mother there.
All he knew was that his mother and Georgia's mother had a long conversation indoors, but he didn't know what the conversation was about.
Robert had no choice but to simply go to the office to see about the things he needed to take care of.
Although most of the work was in Randy's hands, he had to give his approval to some of the major investments and decisions.
And some of the planning proposals had to be seen by him too. Randy sometimes didn’t trust his own judgment, and apart from the internal affairs of the Simpson family group, he has other investments behind the scenes. These required him to look at the financial statements and the planning schemes of others.
Robert did not expect to receive a phone call from a stranger.
When he answered the phone, a woman's voice came through.
"Robert, are you home? I'm here in D City and would like to see you."
Georgia had been busy in the lab all morning by this time.
After lunch, she and Antonio were back to their busy lives in the lab.
In the afternoon, at the end of the day, Georgia received a call from Wilson.
She rushed down a corridor and picked up the phone.
"What's up? Have you heard anything from Alfred or Vanessa?"
"We found access to a party that was supposed to have access to Alfred, and Alfred is attending a charity dinner with Princess Anna today. It would have been logical for Alfred to have been accompanying Princess Anna to this dinner, but we saw that Alfred had suddenly and inexplicably disappeared and that he had left Svero straight away on a plane. We don't know where he is now and I suspect that something has happened. Now Elsie and I are checking the route of his plane. He left in such a hurry and didn't cover his tracks that we should be able to find out soon. Can Mr. Simpson do us a favor and look it up? We're a bit restricted in Svero and now we'll have to stop in nearby countries before we catch up by plane to where Alfred went."
That was a lot of information and it was just about time for the end of the day, so Georgia immediately called Robert about it.
Half an hour later, to Georgia's surprise, Robert's findings proved that Alfred had flown to D City, where they were in.
Georgia felt particularly uneasy. She felt sure that Vanessa had something to do with it as Alfred had changed so suddenly and had left Svero directly at such an important time.
Robert had by this time driven out to pick Georgia up from work. After the two sat in the car, she turned to Robert and asked.
