Chapter 479


    Heidiughed as well. "But you can''t do that."


    Of course, I could not do that because how else was I supposed to get Petra and Grayson''s criminal


    evidence from him?


    Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    "I went to the Louises'' house two days ago and met Grayson''s sister. This woman has been


    pampered since young and is tremendously spoiled. She dislikes Petra and Cindy. I believe it''ll be a


    rough ride for the two of them from now on."


    I nodded with a smile. "That''s good news."


    "One more thing. A science and technology project that Grant Corporation contracted has run into


    an issue. Rumor has it that a person who used the product became unwell and was sent to the


    hospital but soon passed away. After that incident, victims started appearing one after another. This


    is no trivial matter. Grant Corporation is likely to be ordered temporary closure.”


    My heart sank. "What science and technology project?"


    "I think it''s a project rted to the field of brain development." Heidi sighed. "The media hasn’t


    reported this but they will soon. With this incident, coupled with the hospital incident, I’m sure Grant


    Corporation will be verbally attacked by public opinion and stocks will crash. Grant Corporation is at


    risk of facing bankruptcy if this isn''t handled properly."


    Heidi would always tell me everything. It was better for her to tell me the worst situation rather than


    hide i t from me.


    I took a deep breath. "Got it. I''ll ask Theo about the project when hees back."


    "Okay."


    Just as I was about to hang up, Heidi hesitated to say," I''m not sure if I should tell you this."


    Anything that she was hesitant about telling me must not be something trivial. I had a bad feeling


    about this. "What is it about?"


    "It''s about Cecilia."


    Heidi spoke in a soft voice but I could still hear her. I clenched the phone tightly and prompted, "Tell


    me what happened to Cecilia.”


    Thinking about how I had not been able to reach Cecilia, coupled with how Jerome always


    stammered when he spoke to me and how he always said he would get Cecilia to call me back but


    she never did, I felt my heart begin beating rapidly. Could something... have happened to Cecilia?


    Heidi lowered her voice even more. "I went to Grant Corporationst week to talk about a


    partnership and


    unintentionally overheard someone saying that a pregnantdy hade to see Mason. They


    seemed to share an extraordinary rtionship, and I heard Cecilia''s name, so I asked about it. After


    hearing their physical description, I knew that it was indeed Cecilia. They recounted how haggard


    Cecilia looked at the time. She did not look as healthy as a pregnant woman should be."


    After a pause, she continued, "I don''t know if you''re aware that Cecilia is pregnant with Mason’s


    child or anything about their rtionship, but I decided to tell you this because I want you to ask


    Cecilia about it. Perhaps she’d know more about Mason than everyone else."


    I bit my lip. "I got it."


    After hanging up the call, I quickly called Jerome.


    However, Jerome''s phone was switched off.


    I bit my fingers, feeling tremendously flustered.


    I did not have evidence that Mason was the one responsible for the frequent idents in Grant


    Corporation. Even if I told Theo about it, he would not necessarily believe me either. Even if he


    believed me, he would probably have to find a way to deal with the problem first now that the


    situation had gotten out of hand. I needed to think about it. 1


    I was most worried about Cecilia''s condition at the moment. Why did she not contact me if she was


    okay?


    What did Cecilia experience before my ident?


    My phone rang. I nced at it and saw that it was from Lawrence. I put away the messy thoughts in


    my head and repetitively told myself to get myself together.


    After changing my clothes, I went out to meet Lawrence. He asked to meet at a Western restaurant,


    and the waiter led me to a private room. I pushed the door open, and Lawrence immediately got up


    from his chair, looking very eager.


    "Miss Lane, I thought you weren''ting anymore," h e said with a wry smile.


    I walked over with a smile and sat down. "I''m not the kind of person who''d go back on my word."
