Chapter 260 Attacked
"You don't understand how embarrassing it is to enter in a wheelchair as the world's top ten richest woman and CEO of SY Group. I don't want to be taken as a puppet CEO or a useless addition to the company, I have a reputation to keep."
Georgia and Elsie argued as they took the CEO designated elevator and went to the top floor.
The CEO office and a few conference rooms were located here. There were also over ten assistants assigned for the CEO, other shareholders offices were not on the same floor.
The lineups of assistants stood up and greeted Georgia as soon as she stepped in. Like an owner patrolling her territory, Georgia smiled at everyone and let Elsie pushed her into her office.
Wilson entered not long after. Georgia sent all the bodyguards away and only Georgia, Elsie and Wilson remained in the room.
"Last night you said the PR team requested you to be present at work today, what about the next step?"
Wilson asked Georgia, his position now was Georgia's lead assistant. Despite being an assistant, his power was huge, he handled matter that required signatures and stamps from the CEO. Georgia listened and trusted him fully, but she wanted to handle stuff related to PR herself, hence, Wilson followed her steps.
After the online debate exploded last night, Georgia came to SY Group to put on a show, letting the reporters take pictures proofing that she worked here.
However, Wilson didn't know about step two. Georgia had it all planned out, she told Wilson.
"I know Robert, he won't care that I'm the CEO of SY Group or I inherited Aidan's fortune. I don't think he is the one behind what happened online, he only cares about things related to his reputation, so
what you need to do next is…
"Release a statement online saying that I inherited Aidan’s fortune because Robert refused to. Hence, Aidan thought of another way, which was making his daughter in law the heir and later will be inherited by his grandson. This sounds reasonable enough and was also Aidan’s intention."
Wilson frowned hearing Georgia.
"Ms Lane, if you release such a statement, the attacks online will worsen, they will claim that you are not the rightful heir because you are not Robert's fiancee and people against you will double."
"I know that many will say I picked up stuff that is not belonged to me, shaming me for scamming others' fortune. But only with these rumours that we could test Sierra or lure out the people behind who have been eyeing the fortune. They will make a move and it will be our chance during this chaotic moment to break free and find those people behind the curtains, discover their intentions and their next move. It's always a good way to follow the vine to reach for the fruit."
That was her intention, Wilson now understood Georgia and he nodded in slight doubt.
"You will ruin your reputation by making yourself the bait, it's not fair for you."
"Wilson, do you think reputation is important? I was accused as a plagiary seven years ago and then was jailed as a murderer. Despite the truth was revealed later, there was still a lot of people who disliked and scolded me behind, claiming that I was lucky, it was all an act… until now, people had never stopped criticizing me. Unless I allowed it, otherwise none of the criticism could harm me a tiny bit. Even if Aidan made me his heir because of that reason, but it's never stated in the will that I have to be Robert's wife to inherit his fortune. But the outsider doesn't know this, they might think there is such a term written on the will and uses it to attack me. I need to lure them out instead of sit and wait. Robert is marrying Sierra soon and I don't have much time left, I need to expose my weakness to find theirs."
"I understand, I will make arrangement right now." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Wilson nodded and stopped advising Georgia. This was a good way to make the other party take action. Their investigation on Sierra bore no fruit so far as well as what happened to Robert for the past year.
Wilson was pretty anxious and wanted a breakthrough too. Since Georgia didn't care about her reputation, then things had become easier.
After Wilson left, Elsie frowned and asked.
"He kept talking to you only and hadn't look at me once. Has he forgotten about what happened last night? I thought he dislike me but he completely ignores me now, I'm not sure if I should be happy or angry."
"Do you care what he thinks?"
Georgia asked laughing while Elsie shook her head immediately.
"No, I'm afraid that he might take revenge. Don't think too much Georgia, I have no feeling towards Wilson. Unless a man showed me complete loyalty, or else I won't fall in love with any."
Something that Elsie didn't say was Georgia and Vanessa was her real-life example to never gave away her heart if she wasn't sure that the man loved her truly, or else she would only get hurt.
Even though she did feel a little different about Wilson, but she must guard her baseline.
Georgia stayed at SY Group the entire day, she was only signing some documents as the CEO and read about the current operation of the company to kill time.
Elsie on the other hand began playing games on the computer next to her. They did nothing at all.
Until 5.30 in the evening, Georgia pretended to leave work, walked out from SY Group, put on sunglasses, boarded the luxury car and left. Her status now was none other than a wealthy woman.
While online was a complicated world. A lot of netizens criticized Georgia for scamming the fortune, there were envious as well as jealousy. She received such a fortune, of course, who wouldn't jealous and envious of her?
On the other hand, some netizens admired her as a lucky goddess and hoped the same could happen to them. The online world was truly magical unless one was a true demon or there was solid proof that one was wrong, otherwise, other's perceptions were not important at all. There was always a mixture of like, dislike, neutral crowds, hence, online debates or criticism should not be taken seriously.
When Georgia thought her appearance was smooth, she had never expected that a mad man with a knife rushed to her the moment she arrived home.
It was a man in his thirties, an insane-looking man rushed over to Georgia and stabbed her in her stomach.
In a flash, Georgia rose and began reversing but her legs were not recovered, she couldn't run while Elsie went into the villa before her to use the washroom the moment they arrived, hence, Georgia was left alone.
This villa was located in a wealthy area, the security was tight and all the residents were wealthy people and a security card was needed to enter.
Georgia decided to move in because Robert stayed here and there had never been an issue with the security here, hence, she didn't bring her bodyguards along. She disliked being surrounded by a group of people, it was a lack of privacy.
But no one knew there would be a mad man trying to attack her!
The knife aimed at her stomach, Georgia fell onto the ground with her hands grabbed tightly on the knife.
Her hands were severely injured but she had to stop the knife from stabbing into her stomach, she couldn't die and must not give up.
But the man was strong while Georgia couldn’t take it any longer.
