Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Chapter 208 Ms. Layla Went Missing

Georgia learnt from Robert that Miranda was the one who found her when she went missing.

She wanted to treat Miranda a meal to thank her from saving her.

But she had been too occupied with Vanessa's affair and everything that had happened in between.

Speaking of which, she had never met Miranda before. They only spoke to each other a few times over the phone.

Miranda was also the one who helped her when she got kidnapped. She picked up the phone and asked Miranda politely. "Ms. Bradley, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Ms. Lane, sorry for bothering you, but I have no idea what else I can do now. Did you get in touch with my mum lately?" Georgia shook her head. After she left the clubhouse, she had lost contact with Ms. Layla.

"It's been a long time since we last contacted. Did something happen?"

"My mum went missing. She is not working at the clubhouse anymore, and I can't get through her phone. My dad and I sent a lot of people trying to look for her, but it seemed like she has vanished from the surface of this world. I am left with no choice, so I thought I try my luck and call you to see if you have gotten in touch with her recently. Sorry for disturbing you."

How could Ms. Layla go missing? Georgia felt strange and worried as well after hearing Miranda's sorrowful voice.

Miranda had helped her a lot; she could not ignore Ms. Layla's disappearance.

"Ms. Bradley, if I have any news regarding Ms. Layla or if she happens to contact me, I will inform you right away." "Thank you for your help, Ms. Lane."

As soon as the call was ended, Robert who was sitting nearby, asked her.

"Did Miranda call you? Why did she look for you?"

Robert had already taken care of Jordan's matter in private. He could not guess the reason why Miranda was looking for Georgia.

"Ms. Layla went missing. She is Miranda's mother. Their mother and daughter relationship has been rather complicating..."

Georgia briefly explained about the causality.

"I see. I had no idea about this. I did not know you two met each other like that. Do you need my help to replace out where Ms. Layla went? Her actually name is Layla, right? Georgia nodded her head.

Yes, Ms. Layla's real name is Layla. I cannot figure out why she went missing. By right, she should not have any enemy since she had already taken her revenge. Ms. Layla actually cares about her daughter Miranda. If you can help to investigate on this, or have anyone who can help with this, please do so. After all, they did help me before and I do not know how to return the favor."

Robert nodded at the side.

"Don't worry, I will help you with this."

They two of them talked while holding their hands and waited for the surgery to be over.

After waiting for another hour, the light inside the operating room finally went out. The doctors and nurses walked out with Ivan in front of them. When he saw Georgia and Robert, he smiled at them.

"The operation is successful. Annie will probably wake up either tonight or tomorrow morning. Make sure she takes something light these few days. We will continue monitoring her for a while. It is estimated that she will be discharged from the hospital after two weeks." "Ivan, thank you, thank you very much..."

Deep down, Georgia was very grateful.

Annie's heart disease was something that Georgia cared the most in her heart.

She felt that she owed her daughter a lot. She only hoped that Annie could quickly get over with the surgery so that she could jump around and be as active as other kids.

Now that the surgery was a success, she felt that her stress from the past six years had finally been released.

Vanessa and Elsie who were waiting at the side also thanked Ivan.

Annie was pushed to her ward to rest. Everyone went to Annie's ward, feeling happy and joyous.

The recovery days after the operation passed in a blink of an eye. Georgia stayed in the hospital everyday to accompany Annie. Although her wound was recovering well, Georgia did not leave the hospital at all and stayed beside Annie every day. Vanessa was not discharged yet due to her body condition, so in the end they stayed in the hospital for a long time.

A week later, Ivan announced that Annie's operation was a complete success. As long as she took a good rest after the operation, she could be discharged after a week.

That were Georgia's happiest days. She felt very relaxed every day, without any stress and worries. Annie was getting better and better each day, and she finally recovered.

As for Travis and Vanessa, it was almost time for them to leave the hospital as well.

In fact, Georgia was totally healed. It was Jasper and Jennifer's engagement day on the 30th at the end of this month.

Jasper and Robert were good friends. Although Jennifer had done a lot of terrible things back then, it would be impossible for Robert to skip Jasper's engagement dinner. Thus, his only date to bring along would be Georgia.

"Annie, mummy is going to attend dinner with daddy tonight. So, you will be staying with Vanessa and Elsie. I might not be able to come back tonight and accompany you, is that okay?"

Georgia had already played with Annie for the whole morning.

After that, she spoke to Annie.

"I know, mummy. You told me that you need to attend Holland's engagement dinner a few days ago. I don't need you to keep me accompanied all the time. I feel very healthy right now, don't worry about me...I have Vanessa and Elsie here with me too." Georgia smiled with relief. She had been spending all her time with Annie in the hospital lately.

Therefore, she was a bit reluctant to leave her all of a sudden.

However, since she had already promised Robert about attending Jasper's engagement dinner with him, and now that she was quite close with Jasper herself, she would not want to break her promise.

"Vanessa, Elsie, I will leave first. Robert's bodyguard will stay here. If there is anything important, remember to contact us at once."

"Don't worry, just get going. Elsie and I will take a good care of Annie."

Vanessa stood next to her and smiled. Georgia then only felt being put at ease.

Under the escort of the bodyguards, she went to the carpark and got into her car, then drove back to Robert's villa.

The styling artists had actually been waiting for her at the villa. They prepared a few dresses and a dozen pairs of shoes for Georgia to choose from.

"Why are you making this so grand?"

Georgia smiled helplessly at Robert.

"I just need something decent. We are going to other people's engagement dinner, not getting engaged. All these clothes are too flashy. Just a simple dress will do."

Georgia picked a simple black dress among the other dresses. It looked proper and elegant.

"I don't know much about fashion, so I can only ask them to prepare more. I can use my remaining life to figure out what are you thinking, and what you like. But if it's about styling and fashion, I could never ever figure it out my whole life. You can discuss what hairstyle you prefer with the hair stylist. I will wait at the side. The engagement dinner will start in the evening, so we still have plenty of time left. And even if you look prettier than Jennifer tonight, I don't think Jasper will mind."

Robert sat beside and smiled. He looked relaxed, as if he was not bothered about the event tonight, treating it like a normal engagement dinner.

Georgia on the other hand felt strange and asked.

Don't you think it will be weird for us to attend Jasper and Jennifer's engagement dinner?"

"Are you talking about Jennifer? If she tries to cause any scene on her own engagement dinner, she will ruin the relationship between the Holland family and the Johnson family. And if she wants to hurt you, I will keep you protected, so don't worry about it." Sometimes, Georgia felt that men were rather simple-minded. The war between women would not be obvious at all times; it would usually happen behind the scenes.

But since Robert was going to stay by her side and keep her protected, Georgia felt that there was nothing for her to worry about. By that time, if anything really happened, they could just handle it on the spot.

If Jennifer got married to Jasper, and Georgia had agreed to marry Robert, they would be seeing each other very often.

At that time, she could only replace a way and deal with it.

Georgia asked the hairstylist to coil her hair up.

After putting on the black dress, Georgia wore a diamond necklace. Then, the two of them got in the car and went to the Holland Family's engagement dinner.

The venue of the engagement dinner was set in a luxurious five-star hotel owned by the Holland family. When Georgia and Robert arrived, most of the celebrities and guests were already there.

The floor was covered with a red carpet, and the hotel staffs were waiting around. When Georgia and Robert got down from the car, they came forward and welcomed them.

One of the hotel staff led Georgia and Robert inside. However, when they reached the banquet half, Georgia saw someone she did not want to see.

It was Alfred.

It had been a long time since she saw Alfred. Following the incident with Vanessa, and after Alfred's surgery, he stopped appearing in front of them. After that, Georgia and Vanessa chose to erase Alfred's existence from their lives, and they avoided mentioning Alfred since. However, logically speaking, it was quite impossible to not meet him at all. For instance, she met Alfred now at this engagement dinner.

Georgia turned her face away, held Robert's hand, and tried to walk away.

However, Alfred walked forward and stopped in front of them.

"Alfred, do you remember what did you promise me last time? Go away now. Vanessa and I don't want to see you anymore. Can you please move aside?"

Georgia tried to sound as polite as possible. She could not possibly flip out here in this banquet hall and make a scene while everyone was watching. Alfred showed a begging expression.

"I'm very sorry Georgia. I haven't seen Vanessa since then, and I know I am impudent for asking about her. I just want to know if she has recovered. Is she feeling better? I just hope that she can stop agonizing herself, like last time." Georgia gave him a sarcastic smile.

"Ever since you left, she has been recovering. She eats and sleeps well without you. Her mental health is good too. If you wish her well, I hope you will never show yourself in front of her every again.

After hearing what Georgia said, Alfred let out a bitter and helpless smile.

"I understand. As long as she is living a good life, then what I have done is worthwhile. Other than that, I have some info about Rachel's escape. Although I don't know where she ran off to, if you follow this lead, you might be able to replace her." Georgia, however, was interested in this information. Vanessa was determined to get her revenge. So, if they could catch Rachel, Vanessa would feel better. Georgia was quite pleased with Alfred right now.

"Let me know immediately if you found Rachel. The reason why Vanessa pulled herself back together was because she wanted to seek revenge for her kid. Don't try and get rid of Rachel behind our backs. At least let Vanessa deal with her directly, okay?" "I will agree to everything she wants. Initially, I wanted to catch Rachel myself and then tell Vanessa and let her deal with Rachel herself."

Georgia set her mind at rest after hearing what Alfred said. Then, she pushed Robert's wheelchair towards Jason.

"You two are finally here. I was so bored...Jasper is attending his guests, and no one wants to entertain me."

Jason saw Georgia and Robert came over and started babbling.

"Where's Ivan? He's not here yet?"

Robert asked Jason.

Ivan would definitely attend Jasper's engagement dinner. However, Robert did not know what time Ivan would be here since they were not staying together. Seeing that Jason came early, Robert asked him out of curiosity.

"I didn't see him. The dinner just started, so maybe he will be here in a while. You look so miserable sitting in this wheelchair. And now, your third uncle, Alex is in charge of the Simpson family's business. No one cares about you anymore." Jason said teasingly.

"Why? Are you laughing at me right now?"

Robert laughed and replied. Actually, he did not mind that Alex was managing the company.

He could have more time to himself, and he could recover faster and accompany those who he cared about.

The two of them babbled on while Georgia accompanied them. It was harmonious.

The guests were walking around in the banquet hall. Fortunately, no one came and disturbed them. Eventually, more and more guests arrived.

Suddenly, Georgia saw Ivan, and he looked like he was in a bad mood.

Jason greeted Ivan and signaled him to come over.

"Ivan, come over here, we are all here..."

Ivan walked towards them with a solemn face, looking as if someone had owed him a lot of money.

"Why do you look so sulky? Did someone offend you?"

Robert asked Ivan. But instead, Ivan looked towards Georgia.

"Georgia, I need to ask you something. Can I confirm something with you?00000
