Chapter 467 Wesley’s Checkup
Aston sighed as he finished.
He thought he’d found true love, but looking at it now, Kayden might have been taking it step by step
just to swipe some secret by his side and use his value in the research team.
But with an experiment that big, everyone had their own task, and Aston was only involved in a portion
of the data. He wasn’t the person who planned the whole thing and didn’t have a lot of the figures.
He didn’t get it. If Kayden had really done it all, why had she started with him, and stayed this long with
him?
Georgia’s eyes lit up, though. She’d wanted to investigate who the people were behind Kayden, but
hadn’t come up with anything.
Now Aston was telling her the stolen data had already been made into a complete product and entered
the market. Then the pharmaceutical company who’d done that had to be one of the clues.
Georgia got excited.
“Tell me the name of the company who’d put the drug on market. I need to investigate it. It’s important
to me to find out who’d behind Kayden. I need to find out who’s hiring her.”
As Georgia said that, Aston shot her a curious glance, not understanding why she was so interested in
this company.
He still told her, though.
“It’s the Albertson Group, one of the most powerful pharmaceutical enterprises to begin with. The
research team I was in back then was invested in by the Ace Group, but the product is in the hands of
the Albertson Group. There has to be something in between.”
Comparing the Albertson Group to the Ace Group was like comparing a heavyweight to a lightweight.
Now that the large company had taken the results of the smaller one, that couldn’t have gotten out in its
entirety.
Their PR capabilities couldn’t be matched. But even when Georgia was studying, she knew that this
Albertson Group was one of the peak pharmaceutical companies in the world. They had a steady
supply of elites entering the organization to develop new medicines every year.
They paid their research staff well too. So this company was particularly strong in the patent
department, coming up with amazing medicines every year, with huge room to continue profiting.
All she knew, though, was that both of these were pharmaceutical companies. As for the more complex
stock structures and investors and main developers, Georgia wasn’t so familiar and needed to NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
investigate.
At least now she knew that Kayden might be related to this Albertson Group, and there was now a
direction for her investigation.
“Thank you for telling me about this, cousin. I don’t know what it’s about, but I’ll put people on it.”
Georgia said that, while Aston chuckled bitterly.
“If you catch Kayden one day, or she gets caught, or she manages to escape but you’ve found out what
it was all about, remember to tell me then. It was a muddy relationship and I know I’ve been used now,
but I don’t understand why she used me. I wasn’t a core member of the research team Maybe it’s just a
lingering idea, and maybe to Kayden, I was just a random selection with no reason to it. But I really
want to know.”
Seemed like Aston was still hung up on Kayden.
After Georgia promised, she raised another question with him.
“Are you still with Anaya?”
“I’ve sobered up already and I know that I was too impulsive to be with Anaya. I brought up breaking up
yesterday and she up and stabbed herself with a fruit knife. Wouldn’t even have me bring it up. Seems
like I’ve looked for trouble.”
Anaya was threatening him like that not to break up?
That was beyond Georgia’s imagining, and she didn’t know what to say at the moment.
If they really broke up and Anaya died from her impulse, Aston might not get over it as long as he lived.
Aston wasn’t that cold, uncaring person anymore, after all. But if he continued to compromise like this,
they were just torturing each other.
It wasn’t for an outsider to say anything about matters of the heart.
If Anaya knew, she might come after her with a knife in a mad fit of revenge, which was even more
terrifying.
The two very cooperatively switched topics and started chatting about the lab again.
After all, they were in the lab all day doing research, and there was a lot to talk about.
The two went in the same direction with the experiments but had a lot of different ideas on plenty of
details, so they made a deal to go back, do their own experiments, and discuss it again next time.
At night, Robert brought Wesley home.
Aston got in the car with his parents and left.
Wesley didn’t look too happy, and Georgia didn’t even want to ask about it.
When the two kids weren’t around, she turned to Robert.
“Are the results out?”
“It’s out. Wesley’s facial skeleton really had been altered, and his eyes too. Doing something like this
with a kid – I regret taking Sierra to prison. I should have sent her to a dark dank hole to be tortured.
Sierra must have been behind it. I couldn’t even picture how vicious she was!”
Robert’s voice was dark, and it infected Georgia.
Kids normally went under the knife because they had a cat lip or some hereditary problem or had their
features damaged.
But if their face was normal, even if they weren’t satisfied with their looks, they had to wait to arrange
them after their bones were set in their adult years.
Altering the skeleton of a continuously growing kid could leave them with lifelong issues.
Forget Robert, Georgia was furious too.
“Then why does Wesley look so unhappy? I thought you were just taking him to a checkup. Does he
know something?”
At that, Robert held Georgia’s hand and sighed.
“When I was talking with your aunt and uncle, Wesley was sleeping and didn’t pay attention to what we
were saying, but he heard some of it towards the end. Wesley heard us discussing his identity and
actively asked us who his mother was. We didn’t know, so Wesley was a bit sad.
“He thought he could be a kid nobody wanted. After all, I told him before that he was taken from his
mother by Sierra, and his mother didn’t abandon him. Now, though, we’re suspecting that he’s Lucas,
and Lucas didn’t have a mother growing up. Wesley thinks he might be an abandoned child.”
“Stay with Wesley and sleep with him for tonight, if you would. Comfort him a bit. He’s a sensitive kid.
Annie’s the more open one.”
Robert nodded. The two were silent when the door opened not far away.
Vincent went back into their house under the protection of bodyguards, and spoke to Georgia and
Robert the moment he got back inside.
“While I still have energy, you were going to have me look at Wesley, right? Where is he? Bring him to
me.”
Robert turned around and went to look for Wesley. Georgia stayed there.
“Mr. Poole, you were with Robert’s mother since this morning. How is the situation?”
“I’m getting close to her and having her drop her guard against me. To guide her psyche, we can’t have
her with too many fearful, nervous, and cautious emotions. Or at least they can’t be too strong. I talked
with her through the day. She doesn’t know who I am and just thinks I’m a shrink here to chat with her
and let out some of her pent-up feelings. She did speak honestly with me today, and she was awake for
several hours. Her emotions were stable.
“Only, the moment she goes delirious, her emotions pain her a great deal.”
Georgia nodded. She couldn’t really comment on this.
She hoped that Robert’s mother could lead a happy life once again too, just like Vanessa.
But thinking of Vanessa, Georgia grew worried again. She’d had Robert help investigate the Chow
family, but they hadn’t come up with much. They just hoped that nothing would happen with Alfred.
Soon, Robert took Wesley’s hand and let him to the living room.
After that, Vincent brought Wesley to the bedroom alone to chat, just like a psychiatrist to his patient.
The rest of them couldn’t disturb them.
Georgia and Robert could only wait outside in patience.
That wait took almost an hour, and when Vincent took Wesley out of the bedroom, it was already ten or
so at night.
Before the children, of course Vincent wasn’t going to talk about his results.
Robert and Georgia coaxed the children to sleep. One of them had Wesley, the other Annie.
At about eleven or so, the kids finally fell asleep.
Georgia and Robert came to Vincent’s room.
But before they could start talking. Robert suddenly received a call from Jasper.
