Heidi pursed her lips, and it took her a while to answer me. "You can ask President Grant what happened between him and Mason back then."
I did not know if I was comforting myself but I said placidly, "Even if something did happen between them, they would never do anything to hurt each other."
Heidi took a sip of her drink and said slowly," President Lane, you're probably being kept in the dark about many things. Although Benny always hits me and scolds me, he doesn't have his guard up against m e. Hence, I was able to learn a lot of things. There are actually many things that you don’t know about.
"Last night, George and Benny hosted a dinner in hopes to continue working with Grant Corporation. Their purpose wasn't money, they just want to entrap Grant Corporation.”
My pupils slightly contracted. "What did you say?"
Heidi put down the glass of water. "Grant Corporation has dominated Salt City for more than ten years. How many people are willing to live in its shadow?
President Grant is capable. After he took over Grant Corporation, he developed it into a stronger company. It's impossible to beat Grant Corporation through fair
competition, so there are evil people who come up with wicked ideas. For example, George and Benny."
She paused for a moment and continued, "They're thinking of laying their hands on the internal operations of Grant Corporation. The first step would b e building a partnership with Grant Corporation, like how they did it last time."
My heart trembled. What she said put me in extreme shock.
Heidi smiled bitterly. "Mason and the Louis family have partnered up. Benny and George are only Mason's pawns. Their ultimate goal is to make President Grant lose everything he has. This is the information that I can provide you. I hope you’ll believe me and advise President Grant to take precautions as soon as possible."
I held the glass of water in my hands tightly. My voice was trembling. "Cindy loves Theo so much. Why would Grayson think of..."
I did not finish the rest of the sentence because I came to a realization.
Theo refused to get married to Cindy. He was not someone who could be manipulated easily. If Grayson wanted to take control of Theo, he would have to make him lose everything he had. It could be that Grayson wanted the Grant family all for himself.
With that speculation in mind, I let out a gasp.
