Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 188: The Life of Georgia Doyle

As her convoy came to a halt in front of the villa, Eleanor turned to Livia. "Stay in the car," she said, before stepping out and heading inside.

She went straight to Freya’s room, where Ethan and Freya were playing together as usual. When the door opened, both of them looked up.

"Mummy, you’re too late. Daddy and I had afternoon snacks without you," Freya said as she ran towards her and hugged.

"Sorry, sweetie. I had a lot of work at the office," Eleanor replied.

Then, looking at Ethan, she said, "Ethan, a friend of mine’s in some sort of trouble. I need to head to Middlesbrough immediately. Please stay with Freya. I might be late."

Ethan’s expression turned serious. "Do you need help?"

"No," Eleanor said firmly. "It’s nothing major. And I’ll be taking the full security team with me."

"All right," he nodded. "But call me if anything happens."

"I will."

Turning to Freya, Eleanor added, "Be a good girl and finish your homework for tomorrow. Daddy will help you, okay?"

"Okay, Mummy. But who’s in trouble? Aunt Teresa? Or Aunt Livia?"

"Her name is Georgia. You don’t know her. Don’t worry... I’ll be back soon."

She left the room, closing the door gently behind her, and returned to her car. Her shadow team was already waiting beside the vehicle.

"Ma’am," said Sebastian, "Isadora said we’re rescuing a woman. Why do we need the money, then?"

"There might be a fight," Eleanor replied. "The area has a record of serious crime... frequent violence, anti-social behaviour. A gang fight is possible. If it comes to that, the police may side with the locals. We’ll need to contain the situation at the station. We can use force, but I’d prefer to solve things with money."

She turned to Isadora. "Divide the cash into ten boxes... one hundred thousand in each."
