Chapter 493
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
âItâs just a normal address with normal civilians living in there who donât know Vincent Poole at all. It was probably just a random address. Vincent must have been threatened by people from behind the scenes. Thereâs still no trace of him.â
It was a foggy situation right now, but everything pointed at the Wimbledon family.
Did they really need to strike out on their own? Using her position as the head of the SY Group to meet with the head of the Wimbledons might be a way.
Georgia was thinking about that and was preparing to bring it up with Wilson.
Then she received another strangerâs call. She took it carefully.
A low, young male voice with some magnetism rang out.
âHello, Mrs. Simpson, Iâm Darren, the acting chairman of the Ace Group.â
Georgia jolted, and the man continued.
âThereâs a saying that applies to business â the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Iâve heard about what happened to your husband. Iâve got something interesting to show you. Iâm waiting for you in a restaurant at this address. Until ten tonight, Iâll be waiting there all day for your arrival.
âI might have something here that can help with your investigation.â
The line went dead.
Georgia froze, shocked, while Ivan spoke up worriedly.
âWhat happened, Georgia? You look a bit stunned.â
Georgia was about to talk about the contents of the call when she received a call from Jason as well.
âIâm at the airport. Where are you? Iâll come over.â
Georgia spoke about where they were living, then hung up with Jason.
Selena had her own issues right now and Jasper couldnât be anywhere at once. Otherwise, with Robertâs disappearance, both Jasper and Jason would have come over to help.
Selenaâs situation was grave right now, so Jasper still had to stay at the Holland family to manage it all and take care of Robertâs mother for them as well. Jason had come over to help them instead.
So the moment he got off the plane, Jason gave her a call, since heâd been notified that she was awake as well.
âThe acting chairman of the Ace Group, a Darren fellow, just gave me a call and some spiel about the enemy of my enemy being my friend. I think he refers to the Wimbledon business, since the Albertson Group took the experimental results of a project Ace invested in, then put it successfully on the market.
âBut I donât know what this Darren is like. I need to check. Heâs waiting for me in a restaurant and heâll leave after ten at night. I need to ask Wilson about it.â
Georgia told Ivan about the call, and Ivan spoke up.
âIâve heard about this person, Georgia, with friends in those connections. Iâll look into it for you. Wilson probably wouldnât get to it as quickly as I could.â
Georgia nodded and waited for Ivan to call and get in contact with his friends, speaking for a while in some foreign language.
After hanging up, Ivan turned back to Georgia.
âThis is an ambitious person, Georgia. Very capable. But he made a specific appointment and said he knew some secrets â meeting him should be fine. A smart person like this wouldnât make enemies of us for no reason. He might even want to link up with us because of the business rivalry between his company and the Albertson Group. Weâll take some more manpower and head over.â
Georgia nodded, called Wilson over, and explained the affair.
Finally, Ivan headed with people to wait for Jasonâs arrival, and to switch locations to continue Adolfâs interrogation.
Georgia and Wilson headed off to meet Darren.
Wilson was more alert and more skilled at combat. Meeting someone they hadnât met before, Wilson could use his own experience to judge the situation, protecting her and the people around her.
The restaurant was at the center of the city and the drive took almost a quarter of an hour. Georgia and Wilson took the bodyguards there.
After giving Darrenâs name, a server led Georgia to a luxury compartment.
They didnât search the bodyguards by her or check their firearms, and just let her take them along with Wilson to the compartment.
They only allowed two other people inside, but after going in, Georgia saw a bodyguard next to Darren.
As for Darren himself, he was a man in his thirties, reclining on a sofa sipping on red wine while wearing a black suit. His face was abnormally pale, like a TV show vampire, giving off an impression of iciness.
Georgiaâs first impression was that this was a complicated character. As she entered, the cold man smiled at her.
âSit down, Mrs. Simpson. We might need to talk about the matter at hand for a while, and Iâm sure you wonât be disappointed.â
Wilson and another bodyguard sat down behind Georgia, who sat directly across Darren.
âSince you know whatâs happened with my husband, does that mean you know who was behind this, or that you have some kind of proof? And what are your intentions for contacting me directly?â
âI think, Mrs. Simpson, with how far your investigationâs gotten, you must have already pinpointed a suspect. Eric Wimbledon, the bastard, is lying in his sickbed waiting to get cured, which is why he kidnapped your husband in a mad rush.â
It really was the Wimbledon family. Georgia was still dubious, though.
âAnd the evidence? Mr. Darren, I do suspect the Wimbledon family of kidnapping my husband, but without proof, I couldnât go act on my own and offend a giant family like that.â
âIâve setup a spy as part of the research staff. Heâs relayed back photos of Robert Simpson lying in a laboratory. I can show you.â
Trembling, Georgia took the phone Darren handed over and saw Robertâs picture right away.
He was lying in bed, eyes clothes, tubes stuck all over his body.
Georgiaâs eyes reddened and rage burned from the bottom of her heart.
âWhere are they right now?â
Since Darren had a spy there, Georgia just wanted to bring Robert back right now.
âItâs a very secure position. Even if you went to the media or the government, without proof, you canât do anything. Their family is a giant of this nation and nobody is willing to move on them easily. Their family has enemies as well, but none of them are willing to go too far over something like this, which wonât even harm their family roots.â
âSo even if I knew where this base was, my people canât get in?â
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 492 Adolf is Unbreakable 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 âIf you want to save your husband, Ms. Lane, brute force wonât accomplish a thing. Their security measures and personnel far exceed your imagination. Even if your men really did force their way in, they have other secret passages to use to flee and take him with them. You canât very well blow the place up and risk hurting the man you love.â
âSo you called me over, showed me these photographs, all to tell me that thereâs no way for me to save my husband?â
Georgia asked coldly. She didnât understand why Darren had called her over.
Was it just to tell her that he had surefire evidence that Robert was in the hands of the Wimbledons, and that there was no way he could be saved?
âI told you that the enemy of my enemy was my friend. If youâre not prepared to put it all on the line, then youâre not prepared to beat the Wimbledon family. If you want to save your husband, Mrs. Simpson, then you have to risk it all, and be prepared to lose it all.â
âWhat are you saying?â
Georgia faced Darren down, feeling that there was something else between the lines.
âThe Albertson Group took the fruits of my labor, Mrs. Simpson, while your husband was taken by the Wimbledon family. We have a common enemy, and this is a ripe opportunity for us to collaborate.â
âHow do you want to collaborate?â
