Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 607 Delay in Verdict

"Ms. Easton! Please help me! I beg you!’ Leonard’s voice was loud and tearful on the phone.

Ainsley didn't know what had happened, but she thought it might have something to do with the recent incident he

mentioned before.

"Don't panic. Tell me exactly what happened." Ainsley's voice was cold, but it calmed him down.

Leonard finally calmed down a little before replying, "My son! They took my son away! When the housekeeper went

to pick up my son today, she said that someone already picked him up from school, but we didn't know who they

were at all when we look at the surveillance cameras. Ms. Easton, what I did was for you, so you have to help me!"

Hearing that, Ainsley's heart turned cold, thinking, "They really became more and more rampant! Mary wasn't even

found yet, and now Leonard was already in trouble."

"Ms. Easton, l-l found a letter right outside my door." Leonard's voice trailed off after a while before continuing, "It

says in the letter that I can't be a witness, or I won't see my son again!"

Thinking of Mary’s kidnapping, Ainsley recalled what Irene had said. Perhaps Irene already knew what had

happened to Leonard's family at that time.

"Just agree to it first. The case will be delayed," Ainsley said coldly.

Leonard was stunned for a long time since he did not expect Ainsley to agree so easily. "Ms. Easton, thank you.

About what happened before..."

"Leonard, everything you've done is in the hands of fate. Even if I don't expose you, that doesn't mean that the

situation does not exist. I advise you to make up for it before it's fully investigated. You can ask the victim's family to

issue a letter of understanding if someone found out about it, or you'll be in trouble. Of course, I'll help you because

of my father," Ainsley said indifferently.

Leonard had concrete evidence that Ainsley’s father's death was caused by lidocaine. "Even so, who's the one that

wanted to harm my father?" she thought again.

After hanging up the phone, she sat in the study and watched the information that Matteo gathered.

During that time, she was busy with the relationship she had with Manuel and never cared about her father's

business.

However, her father seemed to have suffered from the schemes of his business rivals during that time. Not only

that but he was also worried for Ainsley at the same time.

After eliminating a few others, Ainsley realized that she had no clue at all.

The only thing that could be guessed was that the Wade family wasn't involved in the lidocaine case. After all, she

had done so much just to arrange the truck, and there was no reason for her to do it again.

But apart from Irene, Ainsley couldn't think of anyone who hated the Easton Group that much.

Unsurprisingly, those people only wanted to teach Leonard a lesson this time since they didn't really do anything to

his child. After promising not to testify in court, they sent the child back to Leonard that afternoon.

As if to dispel all of Ainsley’s hope, Leonard was also warned not to have any contact with Ainsley.

Matteo didn't expect things to turn out this way after Ainsley told Matteo about it. After that, he immediately asked

someone to investigate the cause of Leonard's son's disappearance, but no matter how they investigated, it

seemed that something or someone was covering the case behind the scenes.

In the basement of Seaside Villa, Georgia lay weakly on the ground with a body full of scars caused by whips.

Her face was also full of scars, and the blood on her chapped lips made her uncomfortable.

Even so, she wasn't afraid. She just stared blankly at the sunlight seeping that was seeping from the corner of the

basement.

Someone would deliver her meal every day, but it was only one meal instead of three. The food would be sent over

at noon, and she would make sure to finish the food even if the food was already rotten.

Georgia didn't dare dream about a luxurious life anymore, nor did she dare dream about the fantasy life that she

wanted.

The only thought she had now was to stay alive and leave this place alive to see her mother.

A little while later, the sound of heavy footsteps sounded, and Georgia knew someone was coming to deliver her

meal.

She then propped herself up and slowly leaned against the area where the meal would be served. Surprisingly, the

person who delivered the meal this time was not the usual person, but Aaden.

"You'd better give in, or Mr. Daniel will dig out all your family members. It's hard to hide a person, but it'll be easy to

find them," Aaden said in a deep voice.

"I don't think you'd be so kind as to remind me. Why don't you just tell me what you want from me?" Georgia

sneered.

Aaden's eyes darkened, and he chuckled. "Mr. Daniel said he'll let you out.’ "Let me out?" She looked at him in

shock. She did not believe that Daniel would let her out so easily.

After that, Aaden opened the door and walked in. Ignoring her fear, he slowly approached her and grabbed her

chin.

"What do you want?" She looked at him in fear.

Aaden grabbed Georgia's chin and dragged her straight out of the basement.

"Actually, you already know everything about me. You can get any information about me if you just investigated, so

I don't have anything you would want here.'

"Shut up."

Aaden ignored her cries and took her out of the basement. He then brought her to the garden by the collar and

threw her on the path paved with flowers and stones.

The stone was so painful that before Georgia could scream out, she saw Daniel sitting calmly on the side.

"W-What do you want?"

"Shh. I don't want to hear your voice right now." Daniel was really irritated just by hearing her voice, the voice that

sounded like Ainsley.

Glaring at him coldly, Georgia said nothing.

She was like a lamb being slaughtered and had no idea why Daniel brought her here, but she knew very well that

this man wouldn't let her go just like that.

"I can let you go, but you have to do something for me first,' Daniel said.

Looking at him warily, she asked, "What is it?'

"It's not the right time yet, but I'll tell you when the time comes."

Lowering her gaze, Georgia stared at the pebbles beneath her, whereas Daniel stared intently at her.

Their faces and bodies were exactly the same, both Georgia and Ainsley.

The only difference was their gaze. Georgia's gaze was the same as Ainsley's before, and it seemed that Georgia

was taught by someone to act that way.

After a while, Daniel had seen enough and glanced at Aaden.

The latter then took Georgia away, and as if giving her mercy, Aaden said, "You have to stay in the room before the

time is right. At least it's much more comfortable than living in the basement."

She forced herself to keep up with him since the beatings she had been receiving for the past few days had left her

weak, and there were even a few times when she almost fell when walking.

"A doctor will come over to treat you later."

After sending her to the room, Aaden didn't leave yet, as if he was waiting for her to say something.
