Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 192

"His name is Jayson Mathis, I'm not sure if you've heard of him, he is the son-in-law of Brenton Ellis, he married his daughter Amelie Ellis. Their family business focuses on the American market, they brought their capital from here and built an empire in the States. They became one of the biggest corporations in the States after a few decades.

Robert knew about the Ellis family.

But his focus was on mainland China and Europe while the Ellis family's business was in America, so they didn't intersect much.

They met each other occasionally at international conventions. Robert met Brenton Ellis a few years back.

The investigation results showed that the mastermind behind was someone from the States too, hence, Travis's answers were consistent with what they found.

He asked again.

"Since he's Brenton Ellis's son-in-law, what had he done? Or what did you know that makes him wants to kill you?"

"Jayson came from an ordinary background, Amelie and him attended the same university, they were in love and got married… And the reason why he wants me dead is that I witnessed that he killed Brenton’s son James Ellis ten years ago."

"I was still in the university and the Ellis family invested in our school. James came to our school to give a speech regarding the scholarship program they offered, I met him when I went up the stage to receive the scholarship. I’ve always had good memories when I knew I was about to receive the scholarship, I searched a little about the Ellis family so I knew about Brenton, James, the daughter and son-in-law, their pictures could be found on the internet, so I had a glance too. I thought I received the scholarship and that was how I met the Ellis family.”

“Perhaps luck is not by my side… my grandma fell sick that night, it was midnight and we ran out of medicine at home so I was forced to go out for painkillers. I lived in a quiet remote area, there were no street lamps and I heard someone fighting on my way back. I was young and impulsive, I thought I should call the police and I followed the sound and saw Jayson shot James with a gun, he died before my eyes.”

“When I realized it was a fight between the wealthy families, I wanted to leave instantly… But I was unlucky, they saw me before I managed to escape. Later on, I remembered that I was knocked out and brought to a place, they injected me with something, something that harms my nerves and then I live on the street for over ten years as a dummy until this year. I reunited with Georgia, she sent me to the hospital and treated me, I guess they found out that I’ve regained my memories and started to send someone to kill me.”

Robert had finally understood the reasons for Travis assassination, if the truth where Jayson murdered Brenton’s son was revealed, he was doomed.

“I know the truth now, stay in the hospital at the moment, Jayson will not stop. In addition, you remembered what happened now, the truth will be revealed soon and perhaps Jayson already know about this, he will also suspect if Georgia and I know the truth. I will send more people to protect you and Georgia in the hospital, remember, don’t make any move.”

Robert heard that Brenton’s health was declining these few years, it was the son-in-law that had been handling almost all the business of the Ellis family.

He had never seen this man before and only learnt that his name was Jayson today.

He would definitely try his best to murder Travis now, or else he would lose everything including his life if the truth that he murdered James was revealed.

“I didn’t tell anything to Georgia, I know how serious and how powerful the Ellis family is, hence, I chose to tell only you as I know I could never face them alone. I’ve given trouble to Georgia now, please help me and please protect her for me.”

Robert felt complicated hearing Travis’s words.

“Don’t worry and get better soon, I will investigate about this matter right away.”

Robert called Aidan after his conversation with Travis ended.

Aidan’s businesses were also focusing on the American market, perhaps he knew Brenton Ellis.

Robert told Aidan everything he knew and then he asked.

“The best way now is to tell Brenton what happened and let him deal with his son-in-law, otherwise, Jayson will attack Travis and Georgia, it’s best to tell Brenton the truth.”

“Perhaps this won’t work,” Aidan replied from the other side of the phone.

“I know Brenton Ellis, but he is in a coma this few years, all the power is in Jayson’s hand now. Amelie Ellis is an artist, she didn’t care about the management of the family business at all, she trusted her husband. She won’t believe it even if you tell her everything since there is no proof. While Brenton is in coma state now, even if you arranged for Travis to meet with him, it would be no use unless he woke up and trust Travis’s words.”

Robert’s heart sunken learning all this and Aidan continued.

“It’s not the worst scenario, as long as Brenton is still in a coma and Amelie trusted Jayson fully, he won’t take the risk to attack you in the bright day, I think his only way is to kill Brenton…While Amelie is safe if she never found out the truth, even if she does, she is no competition to Jayson, presently, he will not launch an attack on you, don’t worry.”

“But you mentioned that Brenton is in a coma state this few years but he still attacked Travis, this means he is afraid that the truth will be exposed, perhaps we still have hope if Brenton woke up, but we need to be cautious about Jayson’s secret attacks, his next attack might be even harder to detect.”

Based on what Jayson had done before, he was a man that would never leave someone who knew his secret alone, he would kill no matter what.

He would think of many ways until he achieved success.

“What is your plan then? The Simpson is yet capable to defeat the Ellis family at this moment, perhaps both sides might experience tremendous loss, unless you have the proof of the murder case, a witness alone is not solid enough.”

Robert understood that he was not capable to destroy the Ellis family now.

On top of that, he didn’t want to be the enemy of Brenton just to help Georgia and Travis, his only opponent was Jayson.

“I feel that Jayson will definitely attack again so I wanted to attack before him, but I don’t have any solid evidence in hand now, I can only tighten the security…”

“I guess you are frightened by Georgia’s incident. You should know that the moment you took over the Simpson family, you will always be surrounded by dangers. No matter who your partner is, she will face a certain risk because of you. And it will only worsen if your business expanded and you become more powerful. Your enemies will attack you in every different way they could think of, while you need to think of every possible way to protect your loved ones. This is something unavoidable in your entire life, instead of worrying for nothing now, why don’t you get married to Georgia right away? Will you be at ease without marrying her? I’ll do the preparation right away if you agree."

They’ve mutually agreed that Aidan would host and plan the wedding because Robert’s mother didn’t like Georgia.

But there were too many things happening these few days, Aidan was still waiting for a yes from Robert.

“Just wait, for now, I will give you a date soon.”

Robert called Travis again telling him the Ellis family’s recent condition after ended the call with Aidan.

“Guess Jayson won’t take action recklessly after a few failures, but we still need to be cautious.”

Travis was disappointed with the news.

Jayson was the cause of his ten years on the street and his grandma’s death too.

He had lost his youth, his love and his family over the ten years.

He even had to give his blessing to Georgia and someone else, all because of Jayson!

His only intention was to avenge himself now.

But the current situation didn’t even allow him to do that, he was depressed thinking about this.

Georgia entered the room when he was about to say something to Robert.

“Travis, did you see Vanessa? She said she will buy me some fruit downstairs but an hour had passed, she’s still not back, her phone was disconnected as well, have you seen her?”

Georgia seemed anxious, Robert heard Georgia too.

Travis ignored Robert and hung up directly.

“Vanessa didn’t come here, you sure that an hour had passed?”

Georgia nodded, her eyes reddened.

“I’ll have someone reviewed the CCTV recording right away.”

Travis decided instantly. Georgia was sent to the hospital by Robert, hence, when she asked to review the CCTV, no one objected.

Vanessa was seen taking the elevator after she left Georgia’s room, but instead of the first floor, she went directly to the car park.

There were not many people in the car park, Vanessa seemed to be threatened by someone beside her and the next second, they went to the dead corner in the car park and disappeared.

It was obvious that Vanessa was kidnapped.

Georgia was as nervous as cat on hot bricks while Travis calmed her down.

“Georgia, keep calm, let’s lodge a police report now and tell Robert what happened. And did Vanessa have any enemy? Think about what happened recently…”
