Chapter 514 Heading North
“Aston’s still not coming back in a time like this? His own sister’s vanished, and he’s unwilling to set
foot in the Powell home just once?”
The old man asked coldly, and Georgia confirmed it.
Aston really hadn’t followed Georgia and Robert back. He was someone who’d left the Powell family
completely, after all.
He’d worry over it and have his own parents notify the Powell family to give assistance.
But he wasn’t going back, so only Georgia and Robert had come.
As Georgia told him as much, Linus’ face turned dark.
Soon, Emilia’s father and Georgia’s second uncle, who’d worn a cold face from the first time they met,
raised a question with a sunken expression.
“What’s going on with Emilia? How is she? Have you found her yet?”
Before Georgia could answer, Emilia’s mother spoke worriedly.
“What’s my daughter’s situation? Is she in danger? What requests have they made? What will it take
for them to give my daughter back?”
Wracked with guilt, Georgia explained Emilia’s situation and honestly gave up the reason she’d been
dragged into it all. She also spoke about how dangerous Emilia’s situation was and how horribly she
was being deliberately tortured, all because of her.
As she finished, Emilia’s parents hadn’t said anything when Sally started mocking her from the side.
“The way I see it, you’re just a bad omen. You dragged Emilia into all this the moment you returned to
the Powell family. You’ve got some nerve coming in front of Emilia’s parents, Georgia. Why aren’t you
going out there and offering yourself in place of Emilia?”
“I’m sorry, Oscar, Margie.”
Georgia couldn’t debate it. She didn’t want to argue with Sally in a situation like this.
She could only apologize to Emilia’s parents. Other than that, she just had to do her best to find Emilia
and take her back.
“That’s not a sincere apology at all. Aren’t you going to get on your knees and show your sincerity,
having lost someone their daughter?”
Sally jabbed from a short distance away.
Georgia took a deep breath and knelt on the ground.
Surprisingly, Robert knelt down with her as well. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Robert spoke to Emilia’s parents.
“Georgia and I are of the same mind. We’re both just as guilty. Emilia got caught up in our business
and got hurt, disappeared, and even now is in danger. Oscar, Margie, Georgia and I are trying
everything to get Emilia back. Don’t worry. Georgia and I won’t back up. No matter what situation we
come across, we’ll bring Emilia back safely.”
“There’s no need to kneel. Up, up. You didn’t do this. I’ve met Eric. He’s a vicious fellow, and he’d
started the feud against you in the first place. You were just striking back. You weren’t to blame.”
Margie suddenly spoke and even stood, pulling Georgia and Robert up from the floor.
Georgia and Robert thanked her gratefully.
Oscar, who’d been silent throughout, spoke to the couple before them.
“Since you’ve promised to find Emilia, then you’ll take responsibility for it till the end. I’ll hand you
control of my forces. I just want my daughter back.
“If she really does end up hurt, I naturally know who to take revenge on. I’ll set things clear with who
the culprit is and who the people who got dragged in were.”
Emilia’s father said with his face cold.
He clapped his hands and a man in a suit came over.
“This is my secretary. Have him follow around you. I want to know what your status is at all times. You
can also order him around to mobilize my forces. Stop wasting time here and find Emilia.”
Georgia thanked Oscar gratefully, and Linus spoke up.
“Do as your uncle says. We only asked you back to have this secretary follow you around to search for
Emilia. You’re my granddaughter and Emilia is too. I won’t play favorites. But since Emilia is in trouble
because of the two of you, then you two will have to take responsibility till the end and get her back. I
want no bad seeds in the Powell family. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. Georgia and I will bring Emilia back.”
Robert made a promise, and the old man showed a satisfied expression.
Georgia and Robert were turning to leave when Sally spoke to Margie directly.
“These two were the culprits behind Emilia’s disappearance, and you’re so kind to the two of them?
Even talking about the real culprits? The way I see it, you never loved your daughter after you gave
birth to her. Do you just not care about Emilia with her disappearing at this point?”
“You be quiet!”
The old man bellowed at Sally.
Tammy tugged on her mother’s hand, signally for her to shut up.
Georgia and Robert didn’t speak and were planning to turn and leave.
Margie, though, strode in front of Sally and slapped her across the face.
Sally was still taken aback and about to return the slap when Margie’s hand grabbed her body in a
death grip.
“Everyone here, the old man, me, my husband, Laurie and Carr – I know they all truly wish for Emilia to
not get hurt and for her to come back safe. But you and you alone, Sally, are here looking at it like a
joke! You even want my daughter to get hurt so you can laugh about it, don’t you!
“I know what kind of person you are, Sally, and you’d best shut up now! Otherwise, I’ll have the butler
chase you out, never to return to the Powells!”
Sally’s eyes widened.
“Who do you think you are? I’m a daughter of the Powells, and you’re just a woman who married into
the family and had a kid. Your head’s way too big.”
Margie turned around and looked at the old man.
“Do you agree to what I just said, Dad? If Sally says another word about my daughter or tries to mock
her again, I’d like for our Powell family never to let this woman we married out back in again.”
“Dad-”
Sally said in a panic, while the old man slammed a fist onto the table.
“Have the bodyguards come in and take the young mistress out. Without my permission from now on,
don’t let her back into the family!”
With that, he turned to look at Sally.
“You’ve been married out already, but you’re just coming back so casually and taking things from the
household to bring to your husband. Are you just coming back to freeload? Don’t you have a husband?
Get out!”
With that, two bodyguards in black came in. What Linus said went, and the bodyguards took up Sally’s
body and tossed her out.
Sally was bellowing with rage all throughout, but the bodyguards worked quick.
Seeing her own mother treated like this, Tammy apologized to the old man and chased out after her.
When Georgia and Robert got back in the car and left the Powell house, they saw that Sally really had
been tossed out the gate.
Georgia and Robert’s car just so happened to pass.
“This Powell family is pretty strange, and so is the old man. There’s no time to poke into it now. The
most important thing is to find Emilia.”
Georgia turned to Robert and sighed. Robert grabbed her hand.
“Don’t worry. With all the people helping out, we’ll find her.”
The two finished, and the secretary that the Powell family had attached to Georgia and Robert spoke
up.
“Madam, sir, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you.”
After working through the entire night, by early morning the next day, everyone got a clear piece of
information – Eric was hiding out up north.
Georgia and gang switched their tickets back to the country for tickets to the capital up north.
They’d confirmed the news because every force behind them had found a picture Eric had taken in the
capital in the last two days.
In other words, it was possible that Eric had leaked the photo deliberately to lure them there.
