Chapter 618


    All the majorpanies'' holidays had ended. I received many texts from thepany asking me


    when I would return to Whaldorf City as there were many artists waiting for my arrangements.


    I thought about it and nned to go back in two days.


    "What time did Theo go out this morning, Miss Woods?" I asked when Miss Woods came in to clear


    the table.


    "He left at dawn. He was probably in a hurry to handle something urgent," Miss Woods said, then


    paused and looked at me, saying, "I heard the other day that Cindy isn''t Petra and Grayson''s


    daughter. They previously held a press conference and even a banquet telling the whole world that


    she was their daughter. It would be fun to watch them say they had made a mistake now."


    I was stunned. "Who did you hear this from?"


    If Miss Woods knew about it, would that not mean that many people had learned about it too?


    Miss Woods smiled. "I heard a caretaker from another family talking about it when I was at the


    market buying groceries."


    I pursed my lips and did not ask any more questions.


    I was not well these days, so I had asked Jerome to


    watch after Munchkin for me first. Now that I nned to go back to Whaldorf City, I needed to go


    and pick Munchkin up.


    After eating, I simply packed some clothes and drove t o Jerome and Xander''s ce.


    When I arrived, Jerome was cooking in the kitchen and Xander was holding Munchkin. When he


    saw me, he twitched his mouth. "What kind of mother are you? I thought you had disappeared."


    I felt a little apologetic and said, "I went to France and just came backst night. How''s Munchkin


    doing these few days? Has he been behaving?"


    He nodded. Seeing Munchkin reaching out for me to hold him, he handed Munchkin to me and said,


    "This little buddy doesn’t really want infant form anymore ever since he started drinking breast


    milk."


    I held Munchkin and indeed, he felt somewhat lighter now. I sat on the couch, looked at Jerome,


    and noticed how serious he was at cooking. I asked, "Do you n t o go back to Whaldorf City?"


    He frowned. "Are you going back to Whaldorf City?"


    I nodded. "Many of thepany''s artists are waiting for me to make work arrangements for them. I


    have to go back."


    He looked at Munchkin and asked, "Are you nning t o take Munchkin to Whaldorf City too?


    I nodded.


    Jerome fell silent and unconsciously looked at Xander, asking, "Do you want to go to Whaldorf


    City?"


    Xander stopped what he was doing and turned around to say, "My career is in Salt City."


    Jerome pursed his lips. "You can quit your job in Zimmer Corporations now. Salt City Grant


    Corporation is basically being run by outsiders now and as the youngdy of the Grants, it''s only


    right for you to manage Grant Corporation."? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    I pursed my lips and subconsciously wanted to refuse. He continued, "Theo has big ambitions, but


    Salt City is Grant Corporation''s origin and foundation. Running thepany yourself is always


    better than leaving it t o outsiders."


    I fell silent for a while, then mulled it over and said, "I left Grant Corporation because of a mistake. If


    I want t o go back now, I''ll have to show results. I previously made a bet with the senior executives


    in Zimmer Corporations, so it''ll be inappropriate to leave when w e haven’t even attained the


    expected returns yet."


    Jerome frowned. "What do you n to do, then?"


    "Wait until thepany achieves the expected returns."


    After a pause, I continued, "I met Matthew in France."


    Munchkin was probably hungry as he kept reaching out to tug at my shirt.


    Jerome''s expression sank. "Marcus Zimmer''s only


    son, Matthew Zimmer?"


    I nodded.


    Xander was puzzled. "Didn''t he die in a car ident?"
