Chapter 452 Meeting Eliana’s Father
Chapter 452 Meeting Eliana’s Father
After they got in the car, they drove off for a while.
Georgia turned to Robert and asked about Alfred.
“Back then at home, I was in a video call with Vanessa and we talked for a while. She told me that
Alfred’s been busy lately, and she feels like something’s off with him. Alfred, though, isn’t willing to say
what happened to him, and he’s not willing to say what happened with the Chow family either. Vanessa
doesn’t have any news sources and she’s a bit worried.
“Can you put people on it? See if the Chows of G City are going through something?”
As Georgia said that, Robert agreed straight away.
“I’ll send people to G City to investigate. Don’t fret. If nothing big’s happened, it means that it’s still in a
range we can control. But I heard a rumor. Isn’t the heir to the Chow family Alfred? But I heard that his
position as heir is a little unstable. I didn’t take those rumors seriously then, but looking at it now, the
Chow family could be going through something all right.”
Georgia and Robert didn’t speak and stayed silent in the car.
After a few minutes, Georgia let out an exclamation, and Robert grew concerned.
“Why’s your expression so heavy all of a sudden? Did you think of something?”
Georgia reached out and grabbed Robert’s hand.
“It’s very important. I’m worried that what’s happened now has to do with this. Alfred’s not the birth son
of the Chows. If their family is going through something right now, I’m worried word’s gotten out.”
“How do you know about that?”
Robert asked curiously.
That was a long story. Georgia explained what happened last year in brief.
“Back then, I heard Rachel Scott talk about it. Logically speaking, Anaya was there too, and she should
have known about it, but nothing big happened in this year with the Chow family, and I don’t know how
Anaya dealt with it. Rachel’s disappeared, though. And Alfred didn’t tell me how he’d dealt with Rachel.
He’d given Anaya a warning, so it hadn’t leaked last year.”
This year, with Robert’s disappearance and Maisie’s incoherent state, even if Anaya had relations with
the Simpsons, the Simpsons couldn’t have helped, and Alfred probably really had found a way to
threaten Anaya not to speak the truth.
Still, Georgia wasn’t too concerned about that. Alfred’s identity would have been leaked one day. She
just didn’t want Vanessa to become collateral damage in the storm.
After all, when it came to conflicts of wealth, who knew if somebody was going to start targeting those
around them when things got intense.
Considering that, Georgia could help but speak to Robert again.
“Should we give Alfred a call? Ask him straight up what’s going on? If he can’t protect Vanessa
properly, I can at least take her to me.”
“Let’s wait and deal with Eliana today. We’ll discuss Alfred back home. If I receive some concrete
information, we’ll give Alfred a call. He’s not going to deny it directly, and it might be best to clear up the
truth that way.”
“We’ll do that for now, then.”
Georgia could only keep it on the back burner for now.
The car drove on for about an hour and they finally stopped before the gates of the Warner family.
The gate guards saw the car stop, and one of them hurried before the door.
Seeing Robert and Georgia get out, security was somewhat shocked.
After all, there hadn’t been any big events at the Warner family recently, and Robert and Georgia hadn’t
been invited. They weren’t guests, nor friends who came around often. The guard spoke carefully.
“Mr. Simpson. Mrs. Simpson.”
“Tell old man Warner that I brought my wife over and we want to see him.”
The guard spoke into the intercom about it, and after a while, the gates opened. Robert took Georgia’s
hand and walked to the Warner household.
There was a spacious garden outside, and Robert didn’t let his driver drive it in.
Georgia and Robert walked on foot for five to six minutes before they reached the ancestral yard of the
Warner family.
After going into the living room, old Mr. Warner was sitting on the sofa. He looked sprightly for his age,
but his face was stiff and stern.
Georgia had seen him in a banquet once, but she hadn’t known that this was Eliana’s father back then.
“Hello, Mr. Warner, this is my wife, Georgia Lane.”
Robert came in and greeted old Mr. Milton Warner politely.
Georgia also stooped herself and greeted him with the same politeness.
“Hello, Mr. Warner. I’m Robert’s wife. Just Georgia is fine.”
“Come, sit. You two are rare guests. You must have come to me so suddenly for some reason?”
Georgia and Robert sat down on the sofa opposite Milton’s. Georgia could see that Robert had a
decent attitude towards Eliana’s father, and didn’t look like he was accusing anyone.
She was a bit curious how Robert was going to talk about Eliana.
Outside her expectations, though, Robert just directly passed a flash drive to the senior Warner.
“Mr. Warner, our families have always maintained a friendly relationship, and our business has been
smooth. I don’t want grudges between the younger generation to affect our families’ relationship. I’ve
come over to give our families a chance.”
Milton’s face turned serious. He picked up the flash drove and gave a command to the butler beside
him.
The butler placed a laptop on the tea table right away.
After switching it on, Milton plugged in the flash drive.
Clicking into the folder, there was a video inside. But before bringing it up, Milton turned back to Robert.
“If I fail to deal with this, what happens?”
“Business is business, but family is family. If I can’t protect my family, there’s no need for further
business, Mr. Warner. It’s fine making a bit less money, Mr. Warner, but I hate having my family hurt.”
That was basically implying that if this wasn’t properly dealt with, the families would sever their
business relationship.
The Simpson family was a huge organization, and the moment they cut off a certain company, it would
set off a domino effect, and seriously affect a lot of other companies from working with the Warners. A
lot of stockholders would also back out, and plenty of companies would cut themselves off from them
as well.
Milton was naturally unwilling to bit on this, and his expression grew grave.
A second later, he clicked open the video.
His daughter’s voice rang out straight away.
Then he saw his daughter sitting in a secluded compartment with Barney.
“You did well last time. There’s a lot of people flaming Georgia online, and the ghostwriters were led
well. But then all that had happened in the entertainment circle, and it grew less popular of a subject.
This time, make a better title, and let everyone know about Georgia paying a visit to Sierra. It’s best to
make the impression that Sierra’s being abused in prison by Georgia’s orders, and craft her persona
into the direction of an oppressor using her wealth and power. Get the whole internet up in arms over
her. Think of some way to make the commentary more intense this time.”
As Eliana said that, Barney responded right away.
“Those ghostwriters are old hands and guiding commentary. That’s fine. But my company’s chain of
capital’s been cut off recently. I hear someone’s let word out from above to stop cooperating with my
company. I suspect Robert’s already found out about me. Would he suspect you? Maybe we should
keep our heads down for a while in case he finds out.”
“No, you have to strike while the iron is hot. It hasn’t been that long before Robert’s mother attempted NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
suicide, and everyone’s still interested in Georgia and Robert’s family affairs. If you keep it down any
longer, they’ll lose interest. The commentary has to be boiling hot…”
With the video having gotten that far, old Mr. Warner’s hands bulged with veins, and his face turned
purple.
He pressed pause, then turned to Robert.
“I raised my daughter too laxly for her to do something like this. I’ll deal with it for you!”
With that, Milton looked towards Georgia.
“I didn’t teach my daughter the right manners as her father, Miss Lane. My apologies.”
Milton had a very direct attitude, and Georgia didn’t know what do say.
After all, the real culprit this time was Eliana, and she didn’t want Eliana’s father to lower her head
before her. What she wanted was for Eliana to be taught a lesson so she wouldn’t go after her
anymore.
“I know Eliana’s home, Mr. Warner. Why don’t you have her appear, and talk about why she did this.”
As Robert said that, Milton shot a dark look at the butler.
“Get the young lady over!”
The butler complied and walked out the living room to the back.
Georgia had noticed when they came in that there were several lavish houses behind the mansion.
Seemed like Eliana lived in one of the back houses.
As they waited, Georgia and Robert kept silent and calm, while Milton’s face darkened further and
further, his eyes growing shadowed.
After about five minutes, Eliana finally walked out from the doorway.
The moment she saw Georgia and Robert sitting in the living room, Eliana’s face changed instantly.
