Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Chapter 500 Riley’s Phone Call

Georgia didn't understand why Riley was calling her.

But she still left Robert's room in secret, went to a quiet place, and took it.

""What is it, Riley?"

Georgia asked bluntly over the line.

She was busy right now. Other than seeing Robert daily, video calling the kids once every day and other people she was close to say chatting with Vanessa about her situation occasionally - she spent almost all her time conducting research with Antonio. They'd let Adolf out as well, and all three of them were in the lab all day running tests.

She had almost no free time and didn't take strangers' calls. She ignored a lot of them outright.

She'd only picked up Riley's call after a bit of hesitation. It was strange, after all, how he'd suddenly called.

"What's Robert's condition right now, Miss Lane?"

Riley raised the question directly, and Georgia's face changed.

Robert was still in a coma and hadn't woken up. They hadn't leaked that outside yet, and no media had reported on it.

But Riley was asking such a question directly. How did he know about that?

Did he have people spying on them by their side?

"Robert is fine, Riley. Where did you hear such ridiculous news?"

Georgia straight-up denied it.

She wasn't sure if Riley was probing, or if he had concrete information.

Besides, if Robert's situation was shown online, lurking enemies and rivals or people who wanted to target the company stock could step in, and it could really turn serious.

Robert had already said that there was a financial entity sniping at the company and trying to empty them out. Robert had said he'd dealt with it in the dark, and Georgia hadn't concerned herself with it.

Robert had fallen into a coma in recent times, and she had Wilson look over the situation, as well as Robert's secretary, assistant, and Jason, just in case something like this happened.

As for Riley suddenly asking about Robert, she found it stranger and stranger, and grew dubious of Riley's intentions.

"It's best to tell the truth at a time like this, Miss Lane. With all the commotion you've raised overseas and all the capital you've been moving around, anyone would be paying attention to why you did such things. I just happened to have someone I knew well and was capable to look into the news."

Georgia's expression grew colder.

"I don't care what speculation you're harboring or what you've investigated. Our families aren't that close, Riley. I can't speak about some things. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

No matter what Riley's intentions were, the two of them weren't at a stage where they trusted each other. She wasn't planning on admitting anything.

If they recorded it and leaked it online, it'd start too much commentary.

It was thinking of Riley as a bad person to go this far, but Georgia had to be on guard for all possibilities.

"But I've got a way to help Robert fix his body, Miss Lane. Are you sure you want to hang up?"

As Riley said that, Georgia still swiftly hung up.

Her heart had actually begun to waver, especially with Riley's last line about helping Robert's body.

But from the moment she'd known Riley Price, she'd felt that the man was a mystery. What he was like in secret was a complete unknown. Georgia's impression of Riley was someone she couldn't see through, and those words had her even more apprehensive.

She felt Riley was a bit terrifying now, considering how it was possible he knew all this, even talking about ways to help Robert fix his body.

Antonio had researched for this long and Adolf had continued researching in the lab as well. Georgia was assisting the two of them, and they'd even taken on some reliable research staff to assist them in their work. With this many people working on him, they could still only just manage to keep Robert's blood, hormones, and other abnormalities from worsening.

Their hands were tied right now, but here Riley was talking about something like this. Georgia didn't know if Riley was probing her for Robert's condition right now, or if he really had grasped some important information.

Whether or not Riley was telling the truth on this, she had to make sure.

After hanging up, Georgia got in contact with Wilson, Jason and Ivan.

A while later, they sat in an office, with Georgia talking about what Riley had said over the phone.

"I don't know how he caught wind of this. Of course, having raised such a commotion over here, it's normal to draw attention on me. He might have snagged information from someone or something. Robert was in hospital, after all, and I can understand that. But his last line about helping Robert fix his body was different. That only proves that he's been investigating for a while, or that he's known about Robert's condition for a long time already. It's a terrifying thought. "Jason, Ivan, what do you think Riley meant by his call? What are his intentions?"

Georgia asked worriedly.

Jason and Ivan's faces both changed.

Robert's condition was confidential, and even with word getting out, it wasn't for Riley to say that he had any ways to cure or fix Robert's body.

"That guy's been a mystery since he was small. Played around with us in the beginning, but then we felt like his personality wasn't honest enough. He did things with intentions we didn't understand, so we drifted apart. There were other reasons, of course. He looks like a playboy, and if you were to ask me if he cared about anything, I couldn't tell you. Love, romantic or otherwise... he never seemed to take anything seriously.

"If you ask about whether he cares to run the Price family, I haven't seen him do serious business these few years or fix madly to expand. I even feel like he's just going with the flow and trying to keep the Price family from growing worse. I don't know why he called. Probing to see the show fits his style, but saying that he could cure Robert - he knows how heavy those words are, and he's not just a bystander. That only proves that he's got his own plans."

While Jason said that, Ivan spoke as well.

"I'll go meet him. It's just a few hours on the plane. Now that Robert's unconscious, we can't let his condition worsen. We can't overlook the possibility that Riley wants to expose Robert's coma or do something to the company, even if it's a million-to-one chance."000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
