Chapter 181
I staggered backward. The pain in my heart made it hard for me to breathe. I had thought of
countless possibilities in thest few days and guessed many people. I was even bent on thinking
that Grayson did i t.
Though who knew that the result turned out to be such a huge p in the face?
This was all indeed a conspiracy against me. They were merely going with the flow and d to see
it happen.
Not wanting to stay here any longer, I covered my chest and left the building that made me feel
suffocated.
What happened next was simr to what I thought.
The results of the inspection were out. After conducting an investigation into Grant Corporation,
they found no irregrities.
The death that happened outside of Mid-Nutri Technology was merely a coincidence. There was no
direct evidence to prove that it was rted to thepany. As for the ounts, I was the one doing
it i n secret and had to bear all the responsibility for it.
Therefore, I was expected to bear the penalties and
fines alone.
Thepany resumed business, and after bearing all thepensation, I was fired from the
company, never to be hired again.
Things had finally settled down after days of drama. Grant Corporation suffered huge losses
because of this incident. Their stock price slumped as well. Business was closed for a few days, but
thankfully, everything went back to normal again.
As I was willing to take responsibility for it, thepany was able to salvage parts of its reputation.
Everything went back to normal after business resumed operations as usual.
I went from being in despair and sad to slowly calming down. However, I continued to have low
spirits and could barely cheer myself up.
I had been staying in Cecilia''s house without returning to the vi. As I no longer needed to go back
to work, I had nothing to do at home and daydreamed all day. 1
My stomach grew very quickly, and a bump was already visible.
I no longer cared about what was happening in the outside world. I did not watch the news nor did I
care about the current situation. I also stopped asking about Theo.
Cecilia was anxious to see me like this. She had been making all sorts of different dishes for me
every day t o cheer me up.
After dinner, Cecilia said to me, "Wanda, our house in Rose City is done. Should we go over and
stay for a few days? I need your help to check out the ce. I don’t know much about renovation
works.”
"Okay." Although I did not feel like going out, I had to apany Cecilia since she had asked.
I knew very well that she just wanted to use this as an excuse to bring me out. For the sake of my
child, I should go out to take a walk. I should not allow the sullenness in my heart to devour me
whole.
Rose City was not very near to Salt City, but the high -speed train made things convenient. We
arrived in just three hours.
Cecilia’s house was in a high technology zone. The government was nning for a new education
park that would have public and private schools. There were many schools here, and all the area
was being improved. It was a good living environment.

Cecilia did not buy a vi ording to the original n but chose a luxurious townhousemunity
where each building had only six floors. Moreover, the buildings were all set apart from each other
with impressive green spaces. Looking at the ce as a whole, it seemed really worth it.
A house of more than 2,152 square feet was more than enough for the four of us to live in.
"What do you think? I’m not well-versed in these things. Do you think the decorations are okay?"
Cecilia asked in a soft voice when she saw me looking around the ce.
I raised my thumb. "It’s perfect!"
"Really? Oh, thank God. I was afraid you wouldn’t like i t. We agreed that since you paid for more
than half of the house, this house will belong to the two of us. If you don''t want to stay in Salt City
anymore,e and live with me. This will forever be your home."
"Thank you, Cecilia!" I reached out to hold her tight, unable to stop my tears from falling down.
She was always putting up with all my decisions. She also made arrangements and future ns for
me in advance.
She had always been against me marrying Theo in the past, but when I got married, she was
happier than anyone else. Worried that I would be bullied or that I would have no family to return to
after fighting with Theo, she bought a house in Salt City to keep mepany.
She would always be in the same ce, smiling and greeting me with open arms.
"Do you have to be so moved, silly girl? We''ve agreed t o be each other''s family and to take care of
each other, no?" Cecilia patted my shoulder and consoled me softly.
"Mm, we''ll take care of each other.” I smiled and nodded hard.
"Look at you, smiling and crying at the same time. Go and wash your face. We''re going out to eat.
We can''t starve ourselves." Cecilia joked while cupping my face.
