Chapter 1574
Chapter 1474 Fuller Group Is in Trouble
Expectedly, after Grace found out why Sonia was seeking her out, she immediately provided her with
many suggestions. When a person got older, they didn''t have as many attachments, and things like
expensive jewelry and valuable gifts didn''t mean as much to them. After all, there was nothing they
hadn''t seen or owned at their age, so it wouldn''t be a surprise to them no matter how much they had.
Old women like Rose in particr were nevercking in these things, and it was never what they
wanted either, but a happy andrge family instead.
In fact, Sonia didn''t have to give Rose any gifts at all—the two children in her belly were the best
presents. Of course, as the children weren''t born yet, she couldn''t just show up empty-handed, but a
few presents rted to the children would suffice, such as their medical reports and the ultrasounds so
that Rose knew they were doing well and how their development wasing along. Grace was certain
that Rose would love to receive this as a present.
Sonia smiled, thinking that her words made sense. Hence, she immediately dug out her previous
medical reports after hanging up.
When Toby returned, he saw the reports sprawled all over the bed and frowned. "Darling, what are you
doing?"
Sonia didn''t hide her ns from him and told him after he asked.
Hearing that, Toby chuckled. "Let me give you a hand, then."
"Okay." Sonia pointed at a pile of papers on the other end.
She had regained her vision the day before as cornea transnts didn''t have a long recovery period in
the first ce. After all this time, she had long removed her gauze and was able to see, but she
couldn''t overuse her eyes and had to give them plenty of rest.
Toby sat down and sorted out the papers with Sonia, discussing which ones were appropriate gifts as
they went.
Meanwhile, Mary was hanging theundry on the balcony while listening to the couple''s conversation
with a cheery smile on her face. These days were extremely cozy and peaceful, and it would be great if
things were always like this.
However, peace and calm always signaled an iing storm, and on the day of Rose''s birthday, Toby
was unable to apany Sonia back to the old manor. He had nned to do so, but something came
up at thepany in the morning—arge signboard had fallen down and crushed an employee to
death.
This was not a small issue, so Toby had to personally take care of it, and he had no choice but to leave
Sonia to return to the old manor alone. Naturally, he was worried about her safety, so he had issued a
large number of bodyguards for her before his departure. It was only after he ensured that they were
able to escort her to the old manor that he left in relief.
In the car, Toby was reading the news about this matter with a dark expression, the murderous intent
that was wafting off him suffocating everyone around him.
"What exactly happened? Why did the signboard fall?" Toby stared at Tom, who was driving, and
asked, "Did the safety department conduct their safety checks properly?"
After all, it was their job to thoroughly check all of the equipment, and now that arge signboard had
fallen and even crushed someone to death, the biggest responsibility fell on Fuller Group and the
safety department.
Having anticipated this question, Tom had questioned them beforeing over, and he replied while
driving, "President Fuller, this isn''t because the safety department didn''t do their job. They check the
equipment every week, and yesterday was the day of their weekly inspections. There was nothing
wrong with the report that the head of the safety department handed in either."
"If there was nothing wrong, tell me why the signboard fell. It fell because the screws were loose!"
Clearly unhappy with this answer, Toby demanded, "Do you know how important a single screw is to
these things? It''s a connector of the signboard, and as long as one screw is loose, the entire signboard
wille apart and fall from above. As professionals, don''t the safety department know that the most
important aspect of safety checks is the connecting screws?"
"They do. Mr. Nelson has also repeatedly guaranteed us that they had checked the screws. He was
there that day and personally saw his staff to it that the first thing they checked were the screws. He
wasn''t lying either; the surveince footage did show that they checked the screws first," Tom replied.
Toby narrowed his eyes. "So, Mr. Nelson didn''t perform the checks himself and made his staff do it?"
"Yes." Tom nodded before exining, "Hence, the biggest problem lies with the staff member. He
probably didn''t do a thorough examination."
Toby scoffed. "Other than that, there''s another reason—he tampered with the screws on purpose."
Hearing that, Tom nearly stepped on the brakes.
He hurriedly looked at Toby through the rearview mirror. "President Fuller, are you saying that the staff
member tampered with the screws deliberately to harm ourpany?"
"Didn''t you see how big this news is getting now?" Toby narrowed his eyes. "Many media outlets have
always been afraid of Fuller Group, but the fact that they are fighting to report this case only shows that
someone is controlling them behind the scenes."
"In that case, someone had really nned this. They bribed that staff member and caused this incident
on purpose, then instructed the media to report on this matter to ruin the public opinion of ourpany.
After all, now that a life was lost, the public will doubt our facilities, and if we don''t handle it properly, we
will receive public bacsh." Tom''s brow furrowed deeply.
After all, most of the public despised the rich. It was fine if they weren''t provided any weaknesses to
vent their anger on, but once they spotted any cracks, they would not hesitate to team up and attack
them.
Besides, humans were social animals, and as long as someone led them, the rest would not bother to
look into what had really happened before joining in to attack. Even if Fuller Group was a prominent
company, anyrge corporation would fall if they were boycotted by the entire nation.
If this was the mastermind''s n, they were nothing but heartless for dragging an innocent person''s life
into this mess.

"Contact Mr. Nelson immediately to see if that staff member is still there. If he is, this matter might be
due to his negligence, and we must hand him over to the police. If he isn''t, it means that my guess was
right and someone had bribed him to do all of this," Toby gripped his phone and instructed in a cold
voice.
Tom hummed in assent and stopped the car by the side of the road before hurriedly pulling out his
phone to make a call. The call quickly went through, and he hastily inquired about the staff member''s
whereabouts. However, he received a reply that made him curse under his breath with a dark
expression.
Then, he set his phone down and turned around to look at the man in the back seat with a guilty
expression. "President Fuller, you were right. That staff member isn''t around anymore. He immediately
resigned after the safety check yesterday. Mr. Nelson said he''d sent someone to look for the staff
member and ask him why he didn''t find any problems yesterday, but the staff member is…"
"Dead?" Toby drummed his knee with his fingers. His tone was impassive and unhurried, void of any
emotion.
Tom nodded. "Yes. The person who was sent by Mr. Nelson said that the staff member wouldn''t open
the door no matter how much they knocked, and his neighbors also said that he hadn''t left the house
after returning. Mr. Nelson''sckey thought he was feeling guilty and immediately kicked the door open.
But the moment they entered, they saw him lying on the floor and he wasn''t breathing."
