Chapter 474 Meeting Antonio
Chapter 474 Meeting Antonio
The moment they arrived, Georgia broached the question at Ivan curiously.
If it hadn’t been because there was too much to deal with and that the security in place had to be
perfect, Georgia wanted to do it yesterday.
But that wasn’t realistic, after all. They had to exclude the people who had kept their eyes on them, and
do safety checks of the facility.
All that took time.
“It’s arranged. You can go over tomorrow.”
Georgia heaved a sigh of relief.
Because she’d been too hasty, Georgia didn’t think to hide it from Emilia and Casey.
“What are you doing over here anyway? So much secrecy.”
Casey couldn’t help but ask.
Georgia wasn’t planning on speaking out about it and gave her mother a prepared excuse.
“There’s a research project in a biotech firm that Robert and I have invested in that needs a key bit of
technology that Ivan’s friend just so happens to have. We’re going to discuss it with him. That person is
a genius, and it might take a lot to persuade him.”
Casey nodded and didn’t press the matter. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Emilia, though, found it strange. She knew what status Robert and Georgia had.
At their level, they didn’t need to show up in person for business negotiations.
That was strange. How much of a genius was this guy? Needing the bosses to come in person. Emilia
didn’t suspect too much, though.
Ivan’s coming brought some energy to the house, and like a big boy, he played around with Annie and
Wesley.
Georgia observed the process and found that all throughout, Ivan and Emilia had never exchanged a
single word. The two really were setting their boundaries.
Georgia understood what was between them.
Robert, though, having forgotten his past, didn’t understand, and he’d noticed something was off.
At night, when the two bedded down and spoke, he asked Georgia curiously about what had happened
between his brother Ivan and Emilia.
Georgia could only act as a memory bank again and repeat the affairs in brief.
She didn’t know all of it, but she knew generally how it’d gone.
“Ivan’s a lot like his father especially in love. Sometimes, he gets stubborn and he’s prideful. He might
not walk out from this relationship in the next decade. Actually he might end it here.”
“Do you think it’s possible for the two of them to get back together?”
Georgia gossiped. Robert shook his head.
“I’ve seen that cousin of yours a few times now. She’s got a relaxed personality and never devotes too
much into love. If Ivan had dumped her back then, she’d have walked out from under it by now. Might
even have gotten in a few more relationships. The two probably won’t have a future together. I don’t
think anyone can fully walk into her heart. Even if they do, once they hurt her, with her personality, I feel
like she can chase them away just as easily. These two weren’t meant to be together. One takes it too
seriously, the other not seriously enough.”
Georgia thought about Robert’s analysis and felt that was the case too.
That was Emilia’s personality. She was very centered and cared more about her own well-being. She
could get in a relationship easily and leave just as easily.
Ivan was worse off, but he was busy travelling the world every day doing surgeries. He lived well and
didn’t lack money.
Love wasn’t that big of a blow.
The two gossiped, then Robert received a call from back in the country.
There was a time gap, so the call was coming at a time like this.
He received the call and looked worried.
Robert sighed at Georgia.
“Jasper just called. Still haven’t found the child. Selena’s starting to get mentally unstable. The Holland
family’s hired a psychiatrist, but Selena doesn’t seem right. She’s lost in her own world now and
nobody can wake her. Jasper’s despairing too, and he feels like the child can’t be ending up well now.”
“Could it be Jennifer Johnson?”
Georgia spoke about what Jennifer had done last year. This was the closest person who bore a grudge
against Jasper.
It was a year ago, but she felt Jennifer was capable of it.
“Jasper’s investigated it. Jennifer’s still stuck overseas and has forgotten about everything. Her parents
go over to visit from time to time and there’s nothing off. She doesn’t have anything to do with this at
least from what we’ve found so far.”
That was a heavy topic and they didn’t have the mood to chat longer. They slept until daybreak.
Georgia’s mother had gone back to the hospital last night. They were leaving again today, so Emilia
and Casey weren’t coming over today.
Ivan drove Robert and Georgia over to his friend’s facility.
This friend of Ivan went by the name of Antonio. He was only twenty-eight, but he was a genius.
He went to college at the age of twelve, graduated with a PhD at twenty, and then was offered high-
paying jobs by major pharmaceutical companies all over the world. It was said that he went to several
firms, but left after working there for a while for unknown reasons. Seemed like he didn’t mesh with the
rules and regulations of large-scale companies. He invested in a facility to research what he liked.
Usually, he took outsourced projects from big companies. He ran his own business well and was also
did what he wanted. If he wanted to shut down everything and go travel the world, he did that. If he
wanted to do research, he took on several projects at once. He lived willful days.
But he was a freak for research. Most of the time, he preferred to stay in his facility and run all sorts of
experiments. His interests were very broad. He’d chosen the biopharmaceutical business and also had
an interest in mathematics, physics, and robotics. He’d even gotten a robotics degree.
So he got involved in his own experimental tools and designed his own instruments in accordance with
the projects he wanted to do.
He either made it himself or cooperated with professionals to produce the tools he wanted.
That was why Ivan was taking them to him for the check.
A lot of the tools and instruments were developed and invented by Antonio either alone or with others,
and other places probably didn’t have them. That’s why they were forced to come overseas.
Probably only Antonio understood the results. He took on all sorts of strange people and offered free
checks and cures for people with unusual, rare diseases. He liked this sort of exploratory work, and the
harder it was the more excited he got. For patients in such a situation, he demanded no money at all.
So when Georgia and Robert arrived at almost a countryside retreat, even Georgia was astonished.
The facility looked more like a factory than some high-end laboratory or a great concrete structure in
peak research centers.
Not long after they got out, a dark-skinned man with an unkempt shadow, long hair, and tired eyes
walked over.
