Maisie asked curiously.
"No. Then something happened, I was seriously injured and hospitalized and many people thought I
was dead and my experience was wiped clean. When I woke up, I thought I was Casey, the illegitimate
daughter of the Powell family, and that my husband was Aidan, who had fabricated an experience for
me. In those experiences, there was no my daughter or my ex-husband, and I thought I had met him
after you divorced him. It wasn't until the days of his passing that I saw the letter he had left me, which
reminded me of those experiences from my past."
"Then can you tell me honestly what kind of person I was before I forgot my memories? I think I must
have hated you. I wasn't that generous, was I?"
Maisie was simply getting more and more curious about her past memories.
"You didn't like Georgia very much and were very unhappy about her being with Robert. You had some
run-ins, but nothing serious happened."
Casey answered.
"Did I love Aidan so much that I grew to hate him out of love and was very disgusted with you guys?"
"Probably."
Casey spoke the words in silence. There was no way she could lie in front of this woman.
They had all lived a miserable life, although she also felt that Maisie seemed to have had an easier
time after forgetting those memories.
But if she wanted to know the truth about the past, she didn't want to lie to deceive the person in front
of her.
"I see. So that's what happened."
Maisie suddenly stopped talking but took a sip from one of the water glasses.
She and Casey just sat indoors in silence.
Robert's men had already tied Anaya up in front of him.
Anaya looked at Robert with anger. She wanted to lose her temper but she knew that Robert was
ruthless, so Anaya could only hold her anger in and keep her mouth shut.
Robert sat down directly opposite Anaya and spoke.
"Anaya, you are my cousin and I don't want to go too far with you. What are you trying to do by rushing
up to my mother?"
"Robert, your mother is my aunt. Can't I talk to my aunt? You're tying me up here like a prisoner. I want
to ask you what you mean."
"The other day, you took a knife and tried to kill Aston. Did you think I didn't know about it? You're a
dangerous woman in my eyes now. Who knows if you'll hurt my mother? Even if my mother was your
aunt, I wouldn't trust you."
In Robert's eyes, Anaya was a dangerous person who had turned paranoid for love.
"Is it wrong for me to like someone? I had a hard time chasing him and he inexplicably broke up with
me. I lost my temper that day and grabbed a knife and tried to go to hell with him. I admit that I did
wrong, but there comes a time when people break down. Am I not entitled to be sad and angry? Ask
Georgia, is this something I did wrong? It's obvious that he somehow wanted to abandon me. He said
he wanted to be with me. Why doesn't he keep that promise all the time?"
"Robert, if Georgia suddenly broke up with you, wouldn't you be angry?"
"Anaya, get one thing clear. Georgia and I are in love, while Aston and you are not. Aston never liked
you. He was out of his mind and decided to try it out with you, but he didn't end up liking you and it was
a trial with you from the start. Don't you know this truth? You should have been ready to admit defeat a
long time ago. In the end, he thought it through and he shouldn't have gotten along like that and knew
he was doing it wrong."
"Of course, he was the one who agreed to be with you in the first place. But even couples who
genuinely love each other can have their feelings fade or have that day of betrayal and then divorce
and break up. Aston has no feeling for you at all. Do you need someone to tell you that? Just admit it.
He just doesn't want you. Don't you dare pester my mother about this, or come to me for help, or pester
Georgia, because you're a pain in the ass right now. do you understand?"
Tears welled up in Anaya's eyes at once.
"Why? Why can't I try to woo him? I've been pursuing him for years. Why do you all want me to give
up? Am I not entitled to continue to pursue the person I like?"
"Georgia and I truly love each other, so she and I deserve to keep waiting for each other and believing
in each other. Do I need to tell you what kind of person Aston is? Do you know how much Aston likes
another woman? He likes it enough to forgive that person for cheating on him and hurting him. You
don't stand a chance! That's the way love is. You can't see anyone else after you've fallen in love with
someone. Do yourself a favor. You can come back to my mother one day when you are sober. It's
better to forget it in your present state. I'll have someone send you back."
With these words, Robert had his men tie Anaya up and throw her in the car to take her home.
After this, he went to check on Annie and Anaya who were learning their lessons, and stood in the
doorway before listening to what Rick was teaching the children.
Rick, true to his reputation as a straight-A student, made all the boring knowledge come alive, and the
two children listened with great attention.
Ivan happened to walk over and asked Robert about it.
"I think I saw Anaya being brought in and she was tied up. Has something happened?"
"She's gone into a frenzy over love and does stupid things. Just now, when my mother went to
Georgia's mother's place, she was about to rush over and say something in front of my mother. Luckily,
I got someone to stop her. What are you doing here? Where is Emilia?"
Robert asked in confusion.
"Emilia had a nightmare in the middle of the night last night and didn't sleep well, and now she's asleep
again. I reckon it'll be a while before she wakes up. You don't have to worry about me. I'll be back there
with her. I just wanted to come over and talk to you and pick up a few things."
After Robert nodded, he watched as Ivan went to Annie and Anaya's playhouse and left with a few
toys. It looked like they were for Emilia.
His brother was really maturing and was a lot more patient than he used to be.
Around noon, Randy arrived at the villa.
He handed a business case to Robert.
"This is the preliminary plan proposal for that company. Have a look at it and see if there are any
problems?"
"It's ready so soon?"
Robert laughed, then flipped the file open and continued to look at it. Randy was next to him and made
sure of it straight away.
"I've read this proposal a few times myself and I feel it should be almost ready. It's a money-making
affair, so of course the sooner the better. Georgia and you have both promised me and decided to let
me join. If I don't make more money, how can I marry my wife later."
"What? Do you have a girl you like now?"
Robert asked with a smile, while Randy smiled mysteriously.
"I haven't courted her yet and am trying to get close to her."
Having said that, Randy hurried on to another matter.
"Dora knows about your return. She took a beating a while back and was lying at home for quite a
while, and she seems to be recuperating and getting better recently. I think she might be looking for
where you guys are staying, and it's not that hard to ask around. What are you going to do about her?
If you don't deal with it, she's bound to find a way to harass you and Georgia again."
"You keep an eye on her and see if she learns her lesson. If she does, give her a sum of money and
redeem her shares. If she fails to learn her lesson, then don't leave her a way out and keep the guys
from the casino chasing her to make her pay back the money for the rest of her life."
Having said this, Robert asked again.
"The rest of the Simpson family know what happened to these two, don't they? Have they been doing
anything behind the scenes lately?"
Robert laughed, then flipped the file open and continued to look at it. Randy was next to him and made
sure of it straight away.
"I've read this proposal a few times myself and | feel it should be almost ready. It's a money-making
