Chapter 74 Deceive Yourself
Last night, it was already evening after Jasper Holland had dealt with Eden Lane’s affairs. He drove directly to the villa where Robert Simpson stayed.
When the butler saw Jasper came, he opened the door immediately.
“Master Holland, Master Simpson hasn’t back home yet, do you need me to call him?”
Jasper Holland shook his head.
“I called him before I came, I estimate that he will be back in about half an hour. I will stay here to wait for him.”
After Jasper Holland finished talking, he sat in the living room. The butler ordered the servant to come over and serve Jasper a cup of tea.
Ten minutes later, Robert Simpson returned to the villa.
After entering the door, Robert took off his suit and put on his shoes. Then, he sat opposite Jasper.
“You said in the call that you have important things to tell me and you want to say it in person. What is it?”
“Emma Lane’s younger brother is Eden Lane, do you know her brother?”
Jasper started to ask Robert.
Robert felt a little strange but he had also surveyed the Lane Family in the past. Thus, when Jasper asked him about Eden Lane, his first thought was that Eden must have caused trouble.
“Eden Lane has been studying abroad for the past few years. I have rarely seen him. However, I know that he often causes trouble outside. What happened? Did he provoke you? You don't need to worry
about me.”
After Robert finished his words, Jasper laughed.
Jasper had guessed that Robert would definitely not going to care about Eden Lane.
“Robert, he didn't provoke me but he provokes my sister.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“What had he done to piss Selena off?”
Robert Simpson asked in confusion. Selena is Jasper Holland’s younger sister. He heard that she was working in the police station now. How did the two of them intersect? Robert was puzzled.
“I am not very clear about the specific situation. When my sister was handling the case, Eden Lane assailed my sister with obscenities. Therefore, my sister took the opportunity to place him in the police station. For now, he is detained in the police station. I estimated that he is going to suffer inside. Also, I ordered someone there to teach him a lesson.”
Jasper pampered his sister a lot. Eden Lane was just looked like a gangster. Since he dared to molest his sister, Jasper would definitely make Eden regret for what he had done.
“By the way, my sister's case involves a missing case. This case is also related to Georgia Lane. I didn't ask my sister in detail what is going on with this case. Robert, why is Georgia Lane still in D City? Isn’t Ma’am want to drive her out?”
When Jasper mentioned Georgia Lane, Robert’s palm was clenched slightly.
Yesterday, Robert rushed to the hospital impulsively but at the end he saw Georgia Lane having intimate interaction with another man. Robert was feeling angry when he thought of that scene.
However, his mind was actually rational which kept telling him that Georgia Lane’s relationship with other men had nothing to do with him.
Why was he getting mad? He shouldn't care about her.
However, Jasper’s words seemed to mean that Selena would be in charge for the case of Georgia’s disappearance. Robert thought of the matter that he had ordered his workers to investigate. But there was still no result yet by now so he pondered slightly.
“Jasper, the case involved Georgia is a bit complicated, don't worry about it, I will settle it then.”
“Robert, don’t tell me that you really care about this woman? She is the murderer who killed your sister in the car accident. You must not have this kind of mindset. There are so many women in this world that you can care for, but for this woman, you must not concern about her.”
Jasper warned Robert in a serious manner. Both of them had known each other since they were young. Apart from being not related by blood, they could be considered as brothers as they know each other very well.
From the first time Jasper saw the woman, Georgia Lane until the day Robert rescued her at that night, Jasper always felt that Robert had given extra attention and concern to Georgia.
Jasper had joked and asked the two of them to be together before he knew that Georgia was the car accident murderer who killed Wendy Simpson.
But right now, Robert’s mother had knew about the matter of Georgia Lane. If Robert really paid more attention and care more about that woman, the ending for both Robert and Georgia would only be a tragedy.
“Jasper, you have thought too much. Why would I care about this woman? I can’t stop wishing her to die right now and wish her to disappear from this world right away. How is it possible for me to care about this kind of woman? She is the murderer who caused the dead of my sister, I was considered kind for not killing her.” Robert retorted Jasper’s words immediately as if he believed the sentence from himself.
Yes, it must happen to be that he only cared about that woman's every movement because he wanted to retaliate against her. It must be his illusion that he cared about her and being jealous when she stayed with other men. After thinking about this in his heart, Robert became more and more convinced that he himself was paying attention on Georgia was only due to hatred.
As for his softheartedness, it was just because Georgia Lane had saved his life ten years ago.
Jasper looked at the man in front of him in suspicion but he didn't persuade Robert in the end.
“It’s fine as long as you know it. For the case of Eden Lane, please help me to explain to Emma when you talk to her. The Holland Family was not targeting the Lane Family in bad intentions but Eden Lane is really getting too over. He must get a lesson.”
Robert nodded.
“Don't worry, I will not favor anyone even if Emma is not reconciled with it.”
After Jasper left, Robert was called by Emma out of the blue.
“Robert, my brother has been detained in the detention center. Can you help me to get my brother out? I heard that he will be locked at there for more than half a month. My brother’s overseas study has not been completed yet. If this case is left in his record, the ambassador will not let my brother continue to apply for passport to go abroad.”
“Emma, don’t you know exactly what had Eden did? He molested Jasper’s sister outside and interfered police’s duty. It is his own sake to be locked out there. You are his sister. He made mistakes now and so you should let him be punished heavily, otherwise he will never learn to behave.”
Emma heard the seriousness in Robert’s tone.
It's just that her father and mother were by her side. Not only that, Eden was her biological younger brother, how could she really not care about him?
“Robert, we can teach him after bringing him home. I have no ideas what is going on with my brother as he is locked in the detention center now and they even don’t allow me to visit him. They must have lynched my brother. Robert, can you please help me to save Eden for my sake? He is just a little unruly. I will definitely teach him after returning home, I will never let him make mistakes outside again.”
Robert was a little disappointed with Emma as he knew how likely had Eden caused trouble.
In Robert’s opinion, Eden was simply a scum who did nothing good. Robert didn't even want to place more attention on that kind of person.
Robert wouldn't even want to say a word if it weren't because of Emma.
“Emma, I have made decision on this matter. Eden should be punished as he made mistake. You all will only keep indulging him. Don't think of asking help from me in this matter.”
After saying this, Robert hung up the phone directly.
Emma looked at the beeping sound from her phone and her face sank completely.
It was just a simple request which was to save her brother out from the detention center but Robert refused to help her on that.
“What? Robert is not willing to help?”
Flora Wong raised her voice and questioned.
Flora had been worried since Eden was involved in that incident.
He was her only son. If he really involved in any accident, how could she maintain her high position in the Lane Family?
Emma nodded helplessly.
“Dad, Mum, Robert said that he will not help on this matter, he even told me that Eden should be punished!”
“Boom!”
Owen Lane patted the table with his palm suddenly and the loud noise seemed to make the dust on the ceiling to shake off.
“Emma. We can’t just wait here and do nothing. We must find someone to save your brother! I have already asked the people inside and they told me that someone with higher position has asked them to teach Eden a lesson. How can we let this happen without taking any action? We must stop it!”
Owen said in his gloomy face.
Eden was his only son, he would not let the only son in the Lane Family to meet with a mishap!
Flora Wong was even more anxious and it caused her to shed tears.
“Emma, we must save Eden!”
“Dad, Mum, since Robert refuses to help us, who else can we ask for help now!”
Emma became anxious as well.
Their family relied on the Simpson Family to barely have some power in the D City but since Robert was not willing to help them for this time, Emma had no ideas who could them seek help from.
“Emma, although Robert is not willing to help, his mother is still there. Think about it, we didn’t succeed to settle Georgia this time. Yesterday, when Georgia was in the hospital, Robert went there in person. Georgia is involved in this incident today, don’t you know how to transfer the message to Robert’s mum?”
“Georgia was not dead for this time, she was having such a good luck to survive. Chester Rogers had been settled but Georgia had not been settled yet. Let’s settle her by the opportunity of this affair.”
“Dad, what do you want me to do?”
Emma didn’t understand and asked suspiciously.
Flora Wong didn't understand either. Owen Lane called Emma and Flora to go to the study room. Three of them talked secretly at there for a long time.
Emma called Maisie, Robert’s mother immediately at six o’clock in the morning.
“Emma, why are you calling me so early?”
Robert’s mother usually only got up at 8 o’clock. Her phone rang and awakened her instantly from her dream. Maisie was a little angry as she was awakened before dawn. No one would be happy if she was being disturbed when sleeping.
“Auntie…”
Emma was choking with sobs in the call.
“Robert… Robert put my brother in the detention center for Georgia. He must be caring about that woman now. Maybe I don't have any hope of being your daughter-in-law as Robert is falling in love with Georgia Lane now…”
Emma cried loudly and Robert’s mother, Maisie’s face sank. “What the hell is going on, state it clear!”
