Chapter184 Aidan ’s Assets and Inheritance
When Georgia woke up the second morning, she was surprised Robert wasn’t in bed anymore.
She felt somewhat astonished, she quickly washed up and put on her clothes. There was no one in the
study of the living room, so she asked the housekeeper, “Where is Robert? Why isn’t he at home?”
“Mr. Simpson received a call today morning, madam. He has already left, he would like me to let you
know that you don’t need to wait up, he will be home very late tonight.”
Georgia originally wanted to give Robert a surprise today morning.
Last night after dealing with Linda’s incident, she had to go home to coax Annie to sleep. After that the
both of them got intimate, so she forgot to tell Robert about her pregnancy.
Georgia picked up her mobile phone and called Robert, “Where are you now? Why will you come home
so late tonight?”
Robert was sitting in Aidan ’s villa, he smiled at said, “Just sorting out a bit of inconvenient issues that
have emerged from the company, might take a while, might not take too long. We’re looking into the
situation; I will let you know when I can go back.”
He was actually working. From Robert’s tone it sounded like something difficult to resolve. Georgia
didn’t know what to say.
When all was said and done, pregnancy was something important. If he knew, he will definitely come
home.
After thinking about it, Georgia decided to tell Robert about Linda. She told him a simplified version of
last night’s events and what Linda said about it.
“Robert, can you help me look into these 2 people? Linda is intrinsically kindhearted, if we help her
towards a positive path, her future will look better and better.”
“You can send me the names of these 2 people in a message, I will ask my secretary to handle this.”
Robert told Georgia and she nodded.
Coincidentally, Linda hit these 2 people yesterday. Their records must be in the files of the detention
center/security team.
After telling him the names of Chase Lawson and Millie Lawson, they hung up.
“Initially I didn’t think that girl fancied you, but now I can see that the both of you are clearly in love.”
Aidan smiled with gratification because his son has found happiness.
At his age, his biggest wish was that all the younger Simpson generations were happy and healthy.
“I’ve told you before, she will fall for me.” Robert said confidently. He had put in so much effort into this
relationship… he had been waiting for Georgia to fall in love with him.
At this moment, Aidan realized that his son was just like him when he was younger.
“I have already read the public’s opinion online last night; you have already stood up for the injustice
towards your girlfriend. Are you here today to discuss revenge against the Lane family? I have already
planned everything and it is in action, you don’t need to lift a finger.” Aidan told his son Robert, since
that was what he thought Robert wanted to discuss with him.
Robert shook his head and said, “Both you and I are prepared for the revenge against the Lane family;
I will not disturb you and you will not disturb me. But I am not here to talk about this.”
Aidan started to doubt his son’s intentions for his visit today, he can’t think of any other private matter
he wanted to discuss.
He hesitated after he saw Robert contemplating. That was unusual.
“Don’t beat around the bush, you can tell me anything in a direct manner.” Aidan said as he took a sip NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
of his tea. He wondered to himself what his son could possibly want to talk about today.
“As you know, Georgia has been previously accused of the murder of my sister, Wendy Simpson;
resulting grievance in my mother. I have discovered some evidence recently of the car accident and it
proves that Georgia is innocent - it’s just that my mother already feels hatred towards Georgia. If I
marry Georgia, I hope to get my mother’s blessings. I have asked her, she has constantly disapproved
it, however later on my mother phoned me to inform me that she will agree to our marriage under one
condition.” Robert said.
Aidan smiled when Robert finished this part of the conversation and said, “Should I be concerned about
this condition? After all these years she has not forgiven me, so, she wants you to go against me and
destroy our father-son relationship?”
Aidan had always felt that Maisie, Robert’s mother was an extremely cunning and cutthroat woman, her
condition must have put their son in an awkward position.
Instead, Robert shook his head.
“It’s not what you think, my mother’s request is that, if she is to attend our wedding, it must be planned
by you. Additionally, she has persuaded me to ask that you give all your inheritance to me, including
your current company. I apologize, this wasn’t my idea but on the other hand I don’t want my mother to
worry. Will you put on a show for her with me?”
“What kind of show do you want me to put on with you?” Aidan was intrigued.
“On the surface, let my mother see that I have inherited everything, you can even write a legal
document to lead her on… But, I will work with you under the table and return your assets to you, so I
would please like you to agree with me that publicly you have chosen me to inherit all your assets. This
might cause awkwardness between your children and your current wife, but I can’t think of any other
way right now to sway my mother’s preconception. See it as a way of repairing the damage for your
lack of fatherly love towards me for all these years. Is that okay?” Robert asked.
If it wasn’t for Georgia, and for his mother, Robert would have never asked Aidan for anything, not to
mention such a perturbing request.
But one cannot be too arrogant in life, we always got by with a little help from other people.
If Aidan agreed, this will make his mother happy and send her blessings for his marriage with Georgia;
Robert felt that his plea for help today was worth it.
“I have a wife now, but we don’t have children.” Aidan said laughing. “Actually, my secret is that I was
going to give my assets to you and Wendy anyway. This is the will I drafted five years ago, at that time I
wasn’t aware of Wendy’s accident, so right now I can just change it so that the assets are for you. My
whole entire I fought so hard to earn all these money for all of you.”
“You don’t have children with her?” Robert asked, astonishingly. His father had already left for more
than ten years, he was surprised that that he didn’t have children after all these years. This made
Robert feel especially weird.
Aidan smiled and said, “She can’t have children, so we don’t have any, she won’t mind who inherits my
assets. I know you have many different ideas about her, but she is a simple person.”
Robert didn’t want to get to know more about his father’s current wife, she was a home wrecker in his
eyes. He didn’t even care about Aidan, so why would he want to warm up to his current wife.
It was just that the thought that Aidan was originally going to give it to him made him feel strange, he
could not feel at ease about accepting it, he even wanted to decline his offer.
“You can donate to your assets to charity, different types of NGOs, you don’t have to give all of it to me.
I don’t need your money I came here today to ask you to write a fake will to please my mother.”
Aidan rejected him immediately.
“I can promise you a lot of things, this is the only thing I cannot promise you; you don’t want me as a
father, but I can’t deny that you are my son. I admit, this is my compensation, maybe you’re not here for
my leftover crumbs but I have nothing else to compensate for the time I have been away as a father, I
only have this family business. I planned to give it to my daughter too, I don’t have the chance to now.”
For a moment Aidan was quite angry, he felt depressed, he felt like he couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t
express his feelings.
But if he declined outright, then how will Robert’s mother send her blessings to Robert and Georgina? It
felt like he was walking on a tight rope, Aidan felt so angry that he was going to go crazy.
Robert just felt that, if he inherited Aidan’s money, he was letting him get away with the neglect and
pain he caused to his mother with bribes, he was disgusted at this.
Aidan felt his heart ache when he saw his son’s expression.
He had worked hard to earn this big business for his family, but his son was declining to inherit it so
willingly, this made him feel sad.
He also didn’t want to hurt his own son; Aidan suddenly changed his way of thinking. “I have a better
idea, one that you would not feel as difficult to accept.”
Robert looked at him with suspicion as he continued to talk. “I will make you the successor to my
inheritance publicly to let your mother believe that you are the beneficiary, you can tell your mother the
truth if you like, that I don’t have any other children, she will definitely believe you, and believe that you
have inherited all my assets. But we can make another deal privately.”
“Wait till I am unconscious, and unaware of what is going on; or when I’m completely dead, my
inheritance will be transferred to Georgia, your fiancée, what do you think? You can reject my
inheritance, but don’t you want to Miss Lane to have some money for a rainy day? You will encounter
many things in your life, you might not be able be by her side every second. I hope you will not reject
my decision, my assets include security measures, if you have an accident one day, they will protect
her.”
