Chapter 370
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
As Travis finished, Sarahâs thoughts spun in her head.
âHow high is the probability that Robert Simpson is alive, in your opinion?â
âOver fifty percent, Iâd say. And Robertâs always been a careful planner. When he got injured and disappeared for a year, that was because Georgia had been kidnapped, and he could only allow himself to get hurt to save her. With his level of planning, normal people canât plot against him. And something as basic as orchestrating a car accident canât be outside of his considerations and preparations. Of course, it looks like an accident right now, but I donât believe it was that simple.â
Sarah lingered on the notion that Robert wasnât dead.
In that case, all the help sheâd given Travis was for nothing.
âNever mind, forget it. Thatâs that for me and Georgia, Sarah. I wonât ask on about what role you played in all this. I hope you wonât destroy the trust Iâve put in you. Please stay out of whatâs between me and Georgia from now on. Didnât you find that Jayson might have come to the city recently?
Howâs the investigation going?â
âIâve got some bait on my end that could lure him out. Iâve also been cooperating with Uncle Ellis. In this period, Jayson will definitely fall for it. Thatâs a good chance to take them all down at once.â
Sarah, of course, didnât tell him that she had confirmed the person behind Sierra was Jayson.
She still hadnât fully considered if she was supposed to keep helping Travis with his wish.
âIâve solicited the help of plenty of beggars in the city. Jayson should be here. But his traces are all over town, and I canât be sure if the information is real or fake.â
After discussing Jaysonâs presence some more, Travis stood and left.
Sarah watched him walk out the door and continued to watch on until he drove away. Then she sat quietly down on the sofa and considered the possibility that Robert was alive.
She was helping Travis because Robert was dead, of course, but if there was a chance Robert was alive, there was also a chance all her help would come to nothing.
But what if Robert really was dead?
Then Georgia would never be able to be with Robert in this life. That was an ill thought.
But that insane idea lingered in Sarahâs mind. She felt like she was going mad, but the idea stayed there, taking root, growing more and more insane.
As for Sierra, she threw a deranged tantrum for a several hours.
After sheâd almost smashed every bit of ceramic inside the mansion, Sierra shut herself inside her bedroom and went straight into the bathroom, turning the tap on.
She submerged herself for almost a quarter hour, until her body was soaked through and freezing. Then she laughed darkly.
âFine, Robert, if youâre going to be like that, I donât have to leave any paths open, either!â
As Sierra was thinking her chilling thoughts, her phone rang.
Picking up, Jaysonâs voice rang out.
âIâve already had people staking out Georgiaâs mansion. There have been no traces of Maisie or Wesley. Where did Georgia take those two? Do you have any news?â
After the afternoon passed, Sierra had told Jayson everything that had happened on her end, and the two of them were losing their minds.
But they couldnât admit defeat like that. Since the will was useless now and the marriage certificate was fake, they were at the end of their rope.
If theyâd just started out with the plan, they could have taken a step back, laid low for a while, then made a new plan from scratch.
But theyâd sunk too much time into this already, and Jayson didnât have too much money left to support his legion, and Sierra wouldnât have another shot at the inheritance. This was her only chance.
Only by taking a gamble could the two succeed.
If they gave up now, that meant they would fail, completely and utterly.
âTheyâre either with Georgia or with Robert. These two are in it together. They must have taken Maisie and Wesley away. If Georgia wonât leave a cent to our name, weâll grab the person she loves most. Wouldnât that be her daughter Annie? I donât believe that she wonât give us whatâs ours if we capture her daughter. Hell, we might as well take the SY Groupâs inheritance too!â
They really were at the end of their rope. The two were planning on kidnapping Georgiaâs loved ones to force her to give up the inheritance.
Now that they were out of legal ideas, this was their last gamble with such methods.
Forget Annie, there was also Elsie, Vanessa, and who else?
Anyone that Georgia cared for, Sierra just wanted to get one of them.
Then have Georgia kneel and beg for mercy.
Sierra and Jayson settled on their future plans, then hung up.
She wrapped a towel on herself, dried her hair, then walked calmly out her bedroom.
Until the last moments, she couldnât give up on herself.
Only, before walking through her bedroom door, Sierra received another call. It was from Randy.
Sierra thought it was strange and took the call.
âWhat are you doing calling me at a time like this?â
Randy had supplied that fake psych report back then. Now that it was useless, Sierra didnât understand what he was doing contacting her.
âIâm very sorry I couldnât help you with today, Miss Moon.â
Sierra scoffed.
âArenât you laughing at me from behind the scenes? What do you want calling me at a time like this? What, trying to blackmail me with the psych report? Iâm telling you, I have nothing now. Nothing to lose. I donât care if you expose anything.â
Randy hurriedly laughed it off.
âYou misunderstand me, Miss Moon. You didnât ask even how I produced that fake report, but I had all the evidence. You should believe in my ability.
Our plan was ruined this time. I might be disappointed, but I feel the two of us can still work together.â
Hearing Randy say that, Sierra felt it was a little unusual.
âWhat, you still have some way to turn things around at a time like this? Iâve already decided to get out of this mansion honestly. Do you think Georgiaâs side will let us off easy? Sheâll gave her team of lawyers divvy up the property. My side has lost all hope of victory. You have the wrong person now. You should go and toady up to Georgia instead.â
She wasnât being self-deprecating by speaking like this, of course. Sierra simply felt that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 369 Suspect That Robert Isnât Dead The Unexpected Marriage ï¤Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately ï¤Chapter 147 It must Feel Good to Have Him Drive Me to Work She couldnât fathom why Randy was still trying to work with her, so she might as well put it all on the table to probe his attitude.
âWhat kind of person is Georgia Lane, Miss Moon? Even if I sucked up to her now, do you think sheâll give me the time of day? Impossible. And sheâs never let anyone around her have even a bit of her property. Why would I waste my effort? I might as well put all my chips on you, Miss Moon.â
Sierra finally understood at that moment that Randy had come to cooperate with her.
Aside from the last gamble she had prepared behind the scenes with the kidnapping and blackmail of someone close to Georgia, she didnât feel like she could offer anything else, though.
So she probed at Randy some more.
âWhat do you want me to help you with? Or do you have some plan that can reverse the board entirely? If itâs workable, why didnât you suggest it before?â
