Heidi laughed 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?
"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 related 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 he comes 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.”
