Chapter 221 Change a Place to Live
“Since we have a common hatred, only hatred can bring us together. If it is only about personal interest, anyone can betray the other and then cooperate with those with greater interest. However, hatred won’t. I know you want to take revenge for your past life and avenge your grandmother’s death. And I, I want to avenge James. You can only collaborate with me.”
“I can give you a chance. If you become my fiancé, you will become a member of the Duran family after that. You can find a place to show your capabilities and can still develop your influence. I’ll trust you completely. We share a common goal. We are in the same boat. Both of us want Jayson to die terribly.”
Travis raised his eyes and looked at Sarah. He was suddenly curious and asked.
“Have you ever been in a relationship with James before? Otherwise, why you fight tooth and nail to avenge?”
“That isn’t something you should be concerned about!”
Sarah’s face suddenly turned frosty.
“This is the chance that I am giving you. It also allows you to see the current situation more clearly. If you are unwilling, I won’t force you.”
Sarah turned around and walked away as soon as she finished her sentence.
Travis was standing in the same spot when he suddenly felt an endless, overwhelming sense of loneliness.
It had been over ten years. His life had been wasted for more than ten years. He lost everything.
Should he grab the chance that Sarah offered?
After Jayson had left Robert’s Villa, Robert dialed Jason’s number.
“Have you finished with Jennifer’s case?”
Robert asked about this as soon as he began speaking. On the phone, Jason sighed.
“I had already sent her abroad. The child, who Jennifer is carrying, is not Jasper’s. I’m not sure whose child Jennifer is carrying. Her parents must have me agree to allow Jennifer to give birth to her child. Of course, I don’t care if this child is fine. After all, her parents did nothing wrong, but they spoilt their child, Jennifer.”
“But the problem is that if we want to erase Jennifer’s memory, the medicine will harm the child that she is carrying. If we allow Jennifer to give birth to her child, then the plan we discussed earlier can only be carried out after she has given birth to her child.”
His tone was tinged with resignation and hesitancy.
“That means that, even though she is now abroad, but her memory still exists. If she escapes, then she will be like a ticking time bomb. Maybe she will come back to avenge on us, right?”
Jason nodded at the other end of the phone.
“Exactly… But Jennifer’s parents had been kneeling before me and begging me many times already. They don’t have other children, and Jennifer has already been spoiled. They put all their hopes on this one and only grandson. They are already old. I couldn’t bear to look at them as well. I’m thinking about whether to agree to their only request. We allow Jennifer to be imprisoned overseas for a year, let her give birth to her child. If she is repentant after one year, we don’t need to erase her memory and let her continue to stay overseas. If she still crazily wants to come back and revenge, then we will stick to the previous plan… After all, the baby in Jennifer’s womb is most likely the Johnson family’s only bloodline.”
Robert was also not a heartless person. Jennifer’s capabilities were, in fact, limited. Even if she really did escape and come back, she would not be able to do anything incredible, but just a bit annoying.
Nothing much, not need to be too cruel to her. He answered Jason.
“Just do according to your decision. Anyway, you have to ask your people to supervise her closely, don’t let her escape back here. Jennifer is well aware that the baby serves as both a shield and a buckler for her. If she has a miscarriage due to her own fault, we can immediately carry out our plan. It all depends on her luck in the future.”
Jason sighed on the other end of the phone.
“Jennifer was a bit stubborn and wild when she was young. Who knows she will become malevolent and selfish when she grew up? What she had done was intolerable. If I have kids in the future, I’ll educate them more strictly. If I have a daughter like Jennifer, I might as well slap her to death!” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Robert smiled on the other end of the phone.
“This is the typical performance of someone who doesn’t have a woman that he likes and never has children. You will understand what kids mean to you after you become a father.”
“You sound like you’ve been a father for a long time already. Annie hasn’t called you daddy yet. What do you have to be so proud of in front of me?”
Jason sneered at Robert. Robert’s face suddenly stiffened.
It was true that Annie hadn’t called him daddy yet. This was a sore point for Robert. He could only remain silent and switched the subject of their conversation.
“After Miranda saved you and Georgia last time, have you given her a gift to express your gratitude or treated her for a meal?”
When Robert asked this question over the phone, Jason’s voice became a bit upset.
“I forgot about this. I’m not familiar with Miranda. Do you want to help me to give her a gift to show my appreciation, and that’s all?”
Jason didn’t want to meet Miranda subconsciously. He remembered that when he went wild, Miranda punched him and caused him to fall to the ground.
When he thought of this, indescribably, he was a bit scared of Miranda and wanted to keep a distance with her.
“Georgia and I had already treated her for a meal. She even asked as to whether you are stingy that time. Why don’t you treat her a meal to thank her? At least you have to say thank you to her. This is something you should do on your own. I’ll send you her contact number.”
“Why is she so petty?”
Jason was angry after hearing what Miranda had said about him, including that he was stingy and didn’t know how to appreciate her help from Robert.
“If you don’t want to say thanks to her, then it’s up to you. Anyway, I’ve already said everything that I should say.”
After Robert hung up the phone, Jason called Miranda after some hesitation.
“Hello, Ms. Bradley. This is Jason. Last time you saved me, I’m really thankful. But I had been busy with my family matters, so I haven’t had time to treat you to a meal. Ms. Bradley, do you have any free time these few days? I would like to invite you for a meal.”
Miranda burst out laughing over the phone.
“Is it true that you only realized that I am your benefactor after Mr. Simpson had reminded you? Of course, I’m not the kind of person who expects you to repay me simply because I had helped you. If Mr. Murphy is grateful to me from the bottom of your heart, I will, of course, accept it. However, based on Mr. Murphy’s tone, you sound a bit reluctant. This meal is no longer necessary.”
Miranda taunted him over the phone unexpectedly. When he heard this, he looked awkward. He had never met a woman with such a sharp tongue as her before.
“Ms. Bradley, you have some misunderstanding with me. How could I thank you grudgingly if you had saved my life?”
Jason spoke hypocritically on the phone.
“Although Ms. Bradley doesn’t expect anything in return, I’m not an ungrateful person. If Ms. Bradley refuses to have this meal, then I will allow Ms. Bradley to make a request. If you need my help in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me. I’ll definitely try my best to help you.”
“All right, great. I have remembered this. If I have any difficulties in the future, I’ll definitely seek help from Mr. Murphy.”
After finishing her sentence, Miranda hung up the call with a smile.
When the phone call was hung up, Jason felt that he had been tricked by Miranda. But he had not done anything to help Miranda, why he always thought that he would be fooled in the future.
He always felt that Miranda was not a nice person.
“Mr. Chow, the DNA report is out. You and he do have a real father-son relationship.”
Alfred stood by the window. His assistant was speaking behind him.
“How about other results? Does the child have any blood relation with Rachel?”
“No. Miss Scott is indeed a surrogate mother. She is not the mother of the child she is carrying. But we don’t have Miss Cooke’s DNA information. We are unable to confirm whether the ovum provided to have the child, who Miss Scott is carrying, belongs to Miss Cooke’s at this time.”
After hearing his assistant saying this, Alfred sighed deeply.
Vanessa refused to meet him and refused to check whether Rachel’s words were correct.
Even until now, Vanessa went abroad with Georgia, as if she was avoiding him purposely. He really could not confirm whether what Rachel said was true in a short while. But now, at least, he was sure that the child was his, not Rachel’s.
The authenticity of Rachel’s words was then very high.
“Can you tell me about Rachel’s current situation? Did she still scream and struggle?”
“Miss Scott is now mentally unstable. She was crazy at times, laughing loudly at others and remaining silent at others. To prevent her from harming the child she is carrying, we, according to what you said, put Miss Scott in the room for critically ill patients in a psychiatric hospital.”
“Continue to keep a close eye on her. Remember, she must not be allowed to escape.”
Georgia and Vanessa were unaware of what had happened in their home country. They purposefully forgot about all of their worries. They swam and basked in the sun at the beach every day.
They played with sand, built sandcastles, and played various children’s games with Annie.
Perhaps it was because this place was like a hidden paradise, with no one they knew from their home country and no one annoying to find them. Even those irritating phone calls didn’t come.
They played until they were crazy and enjoyed sunbathing at the beach every day.
They enjoyed it like this for about a week. They got tanned by at least one tone.
Happy hours always fly. No matter what, they had to return to their home country.
“Georgia, we are going to go back tomorrow.”
Annie and Elsie had already fallen asleep. Vanessa talked with Georgia in soft tones. Both of them were not sleeping and had their eyes open.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to go back? Vanessa, if you are really sad of the D City and don’t want to live there in the future, you should just leave. Maybe Elsie doesn’t like there too. You go to a new place and live there.”
Georgia could completely understand Vanessa’s aversion to living in D City.
“But I’m going to miss you and Annie so much. I’m very hesitant now in my heart. I don’t want to stay there any longer. Except for you and Annie, as well as Elsie, every memory I have of D City is filled with pain. That place depresses me to the point where I can’t breathe. When I think about going back tomorrow, I am not happy at all. I can only feel depression.”
Vanessa had only felt peace and happiness for the past few days. This was a foreign land. She couldn’t see the people who made her sad and painful, and there were no familiar places that made her recall the sad memories.
“Vanessa, the most important thing is to live your life happily. If you are unable to make a decision to leave because Annie and I are still in D City, and you end up living there in pain, this is not what I wish to see… Don’t worry. If you live in another place, I’ll pay you a visit with Annie frequently. Or sometimes
you may brave up yourself to come and visit me in D City. Perhaps in a year or so, your mood improves, and you might be able to return to D City again.”
“If you can’t stand living in D City any longer, you should find another place to live. I don’t want to force you to stay in a place that causes you pain. If Robert is willing to change a place to live in the future, perhaps we will live in the same city. Although I haven’t asked him, he is not the person who needs to work from nine to five. Actually, it’s not that hard to change a place to live.”
Georgia only wished Vanessa to live happily. She didn’t want her to be by her side for a long time.
“Am I being too willful? If I move to another place to live, I may have to let you, Elsie, and possibly other people to be affected.”
Vanessa let out a low sigh. Her voice was tinged with pain and hesitation. Georgia quickly gave her advice.
“You can’t think this way. Actually, I’m delighted that I can come here and play with you. Do you still think that D City holds only painful memories for you? If I don’t know Robert, what D City gave me is also the sad memories. Anyone has the right to change the place to live. Annie and I are not a burden to you. Annie will also support your decision.”
“Although she is still small now, if she understands the reason for this, she will definitely wish that her mother can wear a big smile on her face every day, rather than immersing herself in painful past memories. I hope you can restart your life. Vanessa, don’t hesitate. After I go back and finish my wedding, you bring Elsie to another city to live in. If you want to go abroad, I’ll also support you. It’s no longer difficult to obtain a plane ticket now. We can still meet frequently.”
Vanessa’s tears rolled down slowly.
“Georgia, thanks for supporting me. Actually, I have been thinking about making a decision in my heart. But I can’t bring myself to tell you this. I’ve only had the courage to leave up to this point. You’re right. I can’t confine my life to the agonizing memories of the past. I have to start over again.”
They talked until both of them fell asleep.
The next morning, Georgia brought Annie, and Vanessa brought Elsie, and they boarded the flight back home.
