Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 127

“Is there a plane arriving?”

Georgia raised her head and asked Kayden. But Kayden’s face changed dramatically.

“Stay here, don’t go out. If anything happens, don’t blame me for not warning you!”

After Kayden said this, she ran straight out towards the outside.

It was clear that Kayden wasn’t expecting a plane to arrive. And so, she was very careful about it.

Georgia suddenly had a glimmer of hope inside her, could it be the people who came here to save Robert?

Georgia slowly walked towards the door, as she stood there watching what was happening outside.

The island that had been quiet was suddenly crowded with people. Many walked outside with weapons in their hand. It seemed that something big was about to unfold.

Georgia sneaked out the door, she intended to see how Robert was doing.

There was already the sound of roaring jet engines on top of them. And eventually, a helicopter descended slowly and landed.

Men with weapons started to surround the helicopter as it landed on the island.

Georgia couldn’t see who got out from the helicopter. She could only try to conceal herself as she walked towards the room where Robert was held captive.

Not far from the room, Georgia saw that someone was guarding the room where Robert was. She couldn’t get any closer.

What was she supposed to do now that there was an unexpected guest on the island?

Georgia pondered in her mind.

However, before Georgia could have thought of an outcome. She felt that something was pointing against her waist.

When she looked down, she saw a man holding a gun against her waist.

“What are you doing here?”

A guard asked coldly, his gaze was filled with unfriendliness.

Georgia could only give an honest account of what she had come for.

“I want to see Robert.”

Georgia pointed at the room where Robert was held captive. The guard gave a direct, cold warning.

“No one can go in without the permission of Mr Knight. Ms Lane, you’d better stay away from here now. The island had been put on high alert; I advise you not to wander around.”

“You can keep my hands tied, I just want to go in and see Robert, please?”

Again, the guard rejected.

“I repeat, Ms Lane. You have no right to enter the room. You can walk around everywhere else. But right now, I suggest you better stay in the room your were in before.”

Georgia could only return helplessly.

While inside the living room where Laurence was sitting. A man was already sitting in front of Mr Knight.

“It’s been over ten years since I’ve seen you and I didn’t think we’d be meeting again in this situation.”

The man sitting opposite Laurence spoke with a light smile.

Laurence stared coldly at the man sitting in front of him, as he suddenly gave a mocking laugh.

“It’s funny that the man who abandoned his wife and son is now appearing in front of me for the son he had abandoned.”

Aidan’s expression changed for a moment as he turned to ask Laurence.

“I just want a simple answer, are you going to let Robert go or not?”

“Why should I let him off the hook?”

Laurence laughed coldly.

“Your son made me lose both my legs. I’m just trying to take them away from him too. Isn’t this fair?”

Laurence looked extremely serious. The hatred of Robert was deep in his bone.

Aidan spoke again to Laurence.

“If you let go of Robert now, I’ll help your business expand to Europe and America. That’s billions of dollars worth of growth.”

Laurence laughed coldly.

“You thought your son only worth billions?”

Aidan however gave a cold warning.

“if you let my son go now, I’ll help your business to prosper and take your business to the global stage. But if you don’t, guess what happens next?”

When Aidan said this, Laurence expression instantly changed.

He knew what kind of person Aidan was. He was cruel, sinister, cunning, and ruthless. And he would do anything to get what he wants.

Before he could say anything else, Laurence’s mobile phone rang.

The first phone call was from his investor, who decided to pull out.

The second call came from a government department saying that there was a problem with his company and that they needed his assets to be frozen for investigation.

Later, Laurence received dozen phone calls in a row, and all of those were either investor pulling out from his company or his company was under investigation.

Aidan was fully capable of destroying his company.

“As I said, this is my compensation for the loss of your legs. And if you don’t accept the offer that I’ve just given you, then I’ll have to take the next step and make you go straight into bankruptcy. At that point, you probably won’t even be able to afford a maid and will have to be a beggar in the streets. And people might even come and kick you in the face…”

Laurence’s face was extremely gloomy when Aidan said these words.

Kayden lowered her head and whispered in Laurence’s ear.

“Sir, you need to calm down before you speak. There’s still a chance in the future, we don’t need to risk it for now.”

He understood this, but Laurence still felt overwhelmed with madness.

Why should he endure all the humiliation of the Simpson family again and again? And Robert who made him lose his legs?

At that moment, Robert’s father had come over to threaten him, and with his capabilities, his business could be destroyed at any time. And with these legs, he felt like Aidan was handing out billions to him as if he was a beggar. And if he didn’t want it, he would be destroyed. No one could endure such humiliation.

However, the most humiliating thing was that he could not resist Aidan’s retaliation.

This man, who had snatched that woman so forcefully in the first place, couldn’t even give that woman one more look.

And now, Aidan who appeared in front of him again, as he did more than ten years ago, trampled his self-esteem to the ground like it was worthless.

Laurence took deep breathes and kept reminding himself that he needed to take his time, as he was still young.

Aidan then waited patiently with a cup of tea. A wise man knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

He used his connection to find out where Robert was held captive and he immediately flew over here.

Laurence and everything about him was already acknowledged by Aidan.

A slight threat and he would compromise.

In front of the absolute power, there was no room for tricks.

After a long time, Laurence replied reluctantly.

“Fine, I accept your offer. He is now currently held in a room, you can take your son and leave immediately.”

Aidan then smiled with satisfaction.

“‘ He who knows the trend and circumstances is a wise man’, Mr Knight, you have made a wise decision.”

Aidan stood up after he said this.

One of Laurence’s subordinates hurried over to Aidan’s side.

“Mr Simpson, I’ll take you to Robert.”

Aidan nodded gently and he brought two bodyguards over and immediately, he led them towards where Robert was held captive.

It wasn’t that Laurence hadn’t thought about killing him because Aidan was a treacherous man.

If he dared to kill Aidan at that moment, even if he died, he must have a lot of people that could still avenge him and would have tortured him to be bankrupt.

Kayden pushed Laurence’s wheelchair and followed Aidan from behind.

After four or five minutes, they finally reached the room where Robert was.

Georgia had been watching from a short distance. She saw a middle-aged man walking with Mr Knight ‘s subordinates to the door of the room.

Georgia wanted to go over there, but with bodyguards all over the perimeter, Georgia was not able to say anything. So, she could only watch quietly from a distance.

The door of the room swung open and Georgia watched as the men entered.

This made Georgia a little worried. He was afraid that Mr Knight had come up with some more torturing methods and was ready to continue torturing Robert.

And inside the room, Robert had come to his sense.

The sharp pain made him faint, but it also hurt so much that he couldn’t sleep then.

As his mind mulled over how to escape in the future. Robert then noticed that the door was opened, and a group of people entered.

Robert’s expression didn’t change when he saw Mr Knight’s subordinates.

However, when the middle-aged man walked in.

Robert’s expression changed instantly.

He didn’t speak, instead, Aidan spoke to Robert.

“By the looks of you, you do remember me.”

Robert didn’t want to speak to him and gave a cold expression. His father had left him when he was only a teenager. He had left his mother, his sister just to be with another woman.

When he was young back then, he didn’t understand why his father had abandoned his mother.

As he grew old, Robert understood that his father didn’t even consider him as his son. So, he also chose to forget his father.

However, when he was trapped here in such a lowly state, and Robert had thought of many ways to escape here.

Yet, he never thought that his father would show up here.

“What are you doing here?”

Robert finally asked.

“Your mother called me and said that you went missing. She wanted me to bring you back home. And now, you can come back with me.”

Robert suddenly felt resentful.

Ever since his father abandoned his mother and sister, Robert had been dedicated to his studies. He wanted to become a powerful figure and protect himself, his mother and his sister.

The Simpson family was so ambitious that they were all eyeing his position, which Robert eventually suppressed with his own effort and method.

He thought he had grown into a powerful figure that people could rely on.

But this accident that came out of nowhere had so far prevented him from escaping.

And what’s more humiliating was that his father whom he hated more than ten years had come to save him.

He wasn’t the young lad who would refuse his father’s aid for the sake of his own self-esteem.

But at that very moment, Robert felt that he was useless.

He had never been as strong as he thought he was. He looked at Laurence’s expression which was extreme resignation.

He had also heard once that his father had well-connected with powerful people.

It’s just that for the past ten years or so, the Simpson family had deliberately severed its ties with Aidan. So that, both sides didn’t interfere or bother each other.

He thought that he would never see the face of this man, and yet he had shown up in front of him as a saviour.

Robert also spoke.

“Besides me, I’d like to beg you to take one more person for me.”
