Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

Chapter 585 Breakout

Clearly, Nash was on Eric’s side now.

“Sorry, Mr. Simpson. Mr. Wimbledon has more cards to play. He pays better. I’d have to take his side.”

“With all her tangled feelings dragging her intellect down, how was I supposed to put all my chips on

Sarah Duran? You’re the one who’s lost this time, Robert!”

Eric sniggered mockingly.

He felt that, with his victory assured, he’d be able to take Robert away immediately.

“Do you think I found out by accident that Sarah might be threatened by you?”

Robert smiled mildly. A thundering rang out from the sky and slowly grew louder.

Eric paled and someone ran out of the warehouse, saying something in his ear. His expression turned

ugly.

“You’ve got me this time, Robert Simpson!”

Eric spat, and Robert turned to Boss Nash.

“I never expected you to take my side. Ever since you promised you could work for me, I’d never

trusted you fully. There’s already over a dozen helicopters on their way here. My men are going to be

raining from the sky any moment now. Want to try me? Let’s see who cast the bigger web here.”

Eric’s face began to distort.

Because he’d had plastic surgery done, his features were particularly contorted when they twisted. This

man had always given off an aura of darkness, and it was none clearer than now.

Soon, up to a hundred men in bulletproof vests surrounded the abandoned factory.

Not long afterwards, Jason and Jasper led those men over.

“What do we need to do now, Robert?”

Jasper asked at the side, while Jason outright sneered at Boss Nash, as if mocking his stupidity.

Boss Nash’s face crumbled and he threw the gun to the ground, looking back at the underlings behind

him. All of them knelt on the ground and tossed their weapons away.

“It’s my mistake, Mr. Simpson. Please let me go!”

Boss Nash fell to his knees before Robert.

Robert ignored him and continued speaking to Eric.

“I’m not going to go to the brink with you. Let’s both back up. Give us Travis, and I’ll let you go. I’m a

man of my word. I won’t use my men to hunt you down. I know you’re on hot coals with your body, Eric.

I’ve already given you a way out. You must have plenty of valuable findings over on your side of

research. My side has made a new discovery as well. You’re doing this for your body, and I’m doing this

for mine as well. If you keep turning down my offer to cooperate and continue to attempt to capture me,

we can see who leaves this world first.”

Eric looked darkly at Robert, then examined his surroundings.

All exfiltration routes had been sealed off by Robert’s men. He hadn’t considered how many backup

plans this man had, enough to leave him without a choice.

All that effort, all that preparation, all those plots, from Sarah and Travis’ wedding, to luring Travis away

and threatening Sarah to hurt Robert, up to this deal today.

He’d thought he was on the cusp of success, but only now did he find that his opponent was a natural

enemy who’d managed to break out of all his plots.

“Bring Travis over here.”

After a long while, Eric finally said icily.

Robert smiled mildly and turned to Jason and Jasper.

“I’ll leave Boss Nash and his men to you. I need to go to the hospital. Georgia doesn’t know a thing,

and I’ve hid so much from her. I have to explain it all. Thanks for your help today.”

“We’re all brothers here, so what’s with the formality?”

Jason chuckled, and Jasper spoke as well. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“I’m glad we could help you. We were waiting for your word behind the scenes and worried sick

something would happen to you, you know? Thankfully, we set up a good plan this time. I didn’t expect

this from Sarah, though. What do you plan to do with her?”

Robert frowned.

“I’ll leave the decision up to Travis. I don’t want to do anything to her, but there’s not going to be any

trust or cooperation between us any longer.”

As they spoke, soon after, Eric’s men had already dragged Travis out.

They’d kept Travis in the car all along. The man was in a dead faint, wounds all over him, his clothes

bloody.

“The man’s here. I don’t believe a word of what comes out of your mouth. Speak. How are you letting

us go? I’m only returning Travis when my own safety is assured.”

Eric said coldly. Robert smiled mildly and clapped his hands.

The men blocking off the exits backed off and circled behind Robert, Jason and Jasper, moving away

from the exits to the warehouse. Eric could drive away immediately.

“You can get in the car right now and put Travis outside. I’m a man of my word. Let Travis go, and I’ll let

you leave. Nobody’s going to stop your cars right now. There’s not a single man out there. You can

send someone out to confirm.”

Eric shot a look at one of his men, and someone went out scouting. There wasn’t a trace of Robert’s

men keeping watch.

Eric even got eyes on all other corners of the warehouse to check for snipers. After making sure it was

all clear, he shot a complicated look at Robert, then ordered a hasty retreat.

Travis was left in the middle. Eric kept his eyes on Robert out in the open. The car drove off, and he

finally saw that man have his underlings take Travis up.

Afterwards, Robert took his own men and left.

Jason and Jasper dealt with Boss Nash and Boss Nash’s men for him.

Nash had lost their trust, and even betrayed them midway. People like that would naturally have to be

taught a lesson.

If they were let go, they’d only spawn imitators. Couldn’t have people thinking that they could walk all

over a Simpson.

Robert ordered his men to head to the hospital straight away and prepare the doctors. He wasn’t sure if

Travis was just wounded superficially, or had other injuries. They had to put him through emergency

care.

After he sat in the car, though, one of the bodyguards watching Sarah gave Robert a call.

“Mr. Simpson, Miss Duran is struggling and asking what Mr. Armstrong’s situation is. Should I tell her?”

Robert didn’t look too kindly on Sarah. The woman only concerned herself with the people she cared

for. But Travis was a good man, and he’d saved Georgia and helped his daughter. He spoke coldly.

“Quiet her down. Tell her that Travis has been saved, but they can’t see each other. I’ll ask for Travis’

opinion.”

After about forty minutes or so, Travis was finally taken into the surgery room for an operation.

It was almost noon now, and Georgia rushed to the hospital. Robert hadn’t specified the situation over

the phone, only saying that Travis had been rescued, and was going through surgery in hospital.

Just as she reached the operating room, she saw Robert waiting in the lounge. Georgia walked over

and started demanding answers.

“What happened today? I thought you were just probing Mack to see if he was Eric? You succeeded so

soon? Is Travis hurt badly? How long is the operation going on for? Why isn’t Sarah waiting here for

the surgery to finish?”

At question after question, Robert chuckled and grabbed Georgia’s hand.

“Look at you, all sweaty and panting. Sit down and drink some water. I’ll explain it to you slowly.

“So much has happened today. I’d planned to tell you after you got off work, but I wanted to let you

know earlier. Travis is fine. You should be happy about it.”

Robert finished and handed a glass of water to her.

Georgia’s breathing steadied. She sipped at her water, and Robert began to explain.

“Travis must have been tortured over at Eric’s. He’s wounded all over and bleeding, but his life isn’t in

danger. As for any drugs that might be in his system, the report isn’t out yet. He’s still been wounded all

over. Non-lethal, but it’ll take time to treat. I’m guessing the surgery will be finished in another half an

hour.

“As for Sarah, her situation is a bit more complicated. She’s being held by my men. When Travis wakes

up, I’ll ask for his decision.”

That had Georgia’s eyes widening in shock.

“What happened? Why are your men holding Sarah?”

“Today was a trap. That Mack was Eric himself, and the Boss Nash that I searched for had started

working with Eric long ago. From beginning to end, Eric’s goal was me. Even though he kidnapped

Travis, even though he tried to destroy Travis and Sarah’s wedding, his final goal was still to capture

me. So after going to that location, Sarah made her move against me. She nearly shot me.”

Georgia’s face turned pale and she clutched at Robert’s hand.

“This is scaring me. Why would Sarah do such a thing? Haven’t we continually tried to save Travis?

How could she do such a thing? Could there be something else?”
