Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 247 That Important Crystal Ball

Although he hesitated momentarily, Alfred explained the current situation.

“Elsie has already told you. I have not been living in D City this year. To prevent that condominium unit from being discovered, that unit is not under my name but instead, it belongs to my friend. I am not sure what have happened to that unit.”

Georgia was immediately in a bad mood and she spoke with an irritated tone.

“Alfred, at the time when you took Vanessa away, you should have kept all her belongings properly. Tell me the address of that person’s unit now. I will go and search for it.”

“How would I know there is something important in that bag? But it is my fault. I am sorry.”

After he had finished his sentence, Alfred told Georgia the address of that unit.

“The unit belongs to my friend, Riley Price. I will contact him personally and then give his contact details to you. After that, you can arrange a meeting with him and take a look at that unit after the meeting. Vanessa and I will come to D city after a while.”

After ending the call, Georgia looked at Riley’s contact details. Her face showed complex emotions.

She had never met Riley but she was aware of his reputation. He was known for having an eccentric personality.

Not anyone could get close to him. Although Alfred had informed him, she wasn’t sure whether there would be any difficult situations.

While Georgia was thinking of that matter, Elsie who was at the side started to speak.

“What are you and Alfred discussing about? Is it related to my sister?”

“How do you know Alfred is on the phone?”

“I heard his voice outside. My ears are sensitive to sound and I am quite familiar with Alfred’s voice.”

Elsie gave a chuckle. After consideration, Georgia decided to give Elsie a brief explanation of the matter.

“Last year, when Vanessa disappeared, she carried a bag. I have kept an important thing inside the bag. Since Vanessa has lost her memory, I could only ask Alfred about the location of the bag. However, the situation is quite complicated and I have no idea where I should find it.”

Georgia told Elsie the rest of the story. After hearing Riley’s name, Elsie frowned.

“I have never met that man, but my female friends have told me that he has a bad temper and is hard to please. Many of my friends were humiliated by him.”

Georgia laughed.

“I have also heard of his bad reputation. Since Alfred will mention this to him, I can only hope that he will not make things hard for me. I hope to find it as soon as possible. Elsie, let’s have dinner at the restaurant on the ground floor of the hospital today. We will discuss about Riley later.”

After having their dinner, Georgia immediately told Wilson Weaver, the matter.

“A year has passed and besides, it is just a bag. I am also uncertain whether I can successfully find it. Mr. Weaver, if I cannot find it, will things become very troublesome?”

“The late Mr. Simpson was a vigilant person. Maybe he has prepared a copy of the documents, but I do not know the location of it. Miss Lane, please do your best in finding it as it is our best hope now. In regard to Shaos Group, I can still stabilize the situation. You do not need to worry about it temporarily. I

will help you to investigate Riley. If you face any difficulties when dealing with him, you can let me solve your problems.”

“I understand. I also do not want you to publicly assist me in the search on a large scale as there is a possibility that someone is watching you. If someone knows that the thing that we are looking for is important, other parties will interfere with the search. For the time being, I will search it myself to prevent the involvement of other parties.”

Georgia was not a clueless person. Since the inheritance was left by Aidan, many people were certainly having their eye on the inheritance. It was likely that her situation was fraught with danger so she should be vigilant at all times.

That night, Georgia and Elsie rested in her ward. The next morning, she gave Riley a call after having an early breakfast.

“Good morning, Mr. Price. I am Georgia Lane.”

After introducing himself to Georgia, Riley gave a chuckle.

“Miss Lane, Alfred has informed me of the matter. If you have time, let’s meet and I will explain the current situation to you.”

After listening to Riley’s words, Georgia thought that things were not simple.

Georgia could only arrange a meeting with Riley. She had a physical rehabilitation session in the afternoon and both of them agreed to meet at SS Manor after the session.

Elsie accompanied Georgia to SS Manor and they went there by car.

“Gigi, he could have asked you to go to that unit straight away, why would he request a private meeting with you? Is he scheming against you?”

Elsie who was at the side asked worriedly. Georgia furrowed her brows and was deep in thought.

Technically speaking, he could have given her the key directly and then she would begin her search in the unit. However, Riley did not seem to think so. Georgia was unsure of what he would have in mind during their meeting afterwards.

Georgia could only pray in her mind that problems would not arise later.

About ten minutes later, the both of them arrived at SS Manor. Elsie was pushing Georgia’s wheelchair.

After giving the waiter Georgia’s name, the waiter led the both of them to the place that was booked by Riley.

It was not a private room but a table in a spacious hall. Georgia saw a very beautiful man sitting there.

Although it was inappropriate for her to describe him as beautiful, his appearance was flirtatious. He was moving in a casual and relaxed manner. Georgia had never seen such a beautiful man.

Georgia had always thought that she had good looks. But seeing the man, she was slightly ashamed of her appearance all of a sudden.

However, just after her wheelchair had been pushed into the hall by Elsie, Riley directed his gaze at her.

Georgia did not know how to describe his gaze. She just felt that she froze after meeting his gaze. It seemed like he had seen through her.

Instinctively, Georgia thought he was not a simple man.

“Miss Lane, please come and take a seat.”

His voice was rather seductive. Elsie lowered her head and whispered to Georgia.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“I think that he is seducing you.”

Georgia could not help but tap Elsie’s hand.

“Stop saying nonsense. You should talk less later. We should try to figure out his intentions.”

“This is my friend, Elsie Clarke.”

After Georgia had introduced Elsie to Riley, Riley nodded and the both of them sat opposite him.

“Miss Lane, SS Manor’s dishes are mainly some home-cooked meals, would you like to order some to satisfy your hunger?”

Georgia could only nod. She ordered a few dishes on the menu and then let Elsie have a look at the menu.

Elsie clearly had a good appetite at any time and ordered a lot of food. Riley handed the menu to the waiter while smiling and spoke to Georgia.

“I am aware of Miss Lane’s purpose of meeting me. Alfred have already mentioned the matter to me. Technically speaking, I should have immediately brought you to the unit to search for the bag, but the situation is quite complicated right now. I have arranged my lovers to live in that unit and my lovers have changed from time to time for countless times. I have no idea how many people have lived in that unit so I cannot assure you that the bag will be found. However, if Miss Lane is willing to share the details of the important thing inside the bag, I can find all my lovers back and order them to explain themselves honestly. Then, we can identify which of them has taken the bag.”

After Riley had finished his sentence, Georgia stared at the man in front of him.

The meaning behind his words was clear. He didn’t want to assist Georgia in her search on purpose. It was apparent that he was playing a joke with Georgia.

Elsie was already getting angry. Georgia gave a chuckle and asked the person in front of her.

“Mr. Price, if you need me to do anything, you can stop beating around the bush and tell me directly. That bag is very important to me. I must find it.”

Georgia expected Riley to ask her to do something but he started to laugh.

“Miss Lane, you really have misunderstood me. If I have any intentions, then maybe people shouldn’t feel curious about anything. Other people can control their curiosity, but I cannot do it. If I cannot figure out what are you going to do with the bag once you have found it, I will be tormented by my curiosity and may not have a good night’s sleep for months. Every day, I will wonder about why you would find just a bag when you have already lost it for a year. If I do not know the answer, I will not have complete peace of mind when I sleep and eat. Moreover, I will have many sleepless nights. My body will be harmed due to this. Do you want to hold responsibility for this?”

“This is complete nonsense. Why aren’t you curious about the reason the person behind you coming here for a meal? Why aren’t you curious why the waiter suddenly hurried to that side?”

Elsie who was at the side scoffed at his words.

“You have seen so many weird people since young. I don’t believe that you have figured out all of their intentions. Why aren’t you asking the reason I am sitting here?”

Georgia also thought that Riley was making things difficult for her. However, after Riley had heard Elsie’s words, he laughed.

“You would not come to me if you do not want to ask something of me. The waiters and the people sitting behind me, they did not come to me and ask something of me. Why should I figure out their intentions? Miss Clarke also does not want anything from me. But Miss Lane requires a bag in my condominium unit. This arouses my curiosity. If nobody tells me what is this all about, I really cannot remember the people who have lived in the unit.”

He was being unreasonable. Georgia let out an inaudible sigh and was planning to say something. But Riley spoke first while smiling.

“But if Miss Lane really does not want to say what is inside the bag, it is possible that …”

Georgia stared at the man in front of her and sensed that his next sentence would keep her on her toes. At that moment, Riley stood up and smiled instead.

“Robert Simpson, are you taking your fiancée and child out for a meal?”

Riley suddenly stood up and spoke to the person in front of him. Georgia’s body froze immediately.
