Heidi laughed as well. "But you can't do that."
Of course, | could not do that because how else was | 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. | believe it'll be a rough ride for the two of them
from now on."
| 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 becunwell 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?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"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 telleverything. It was better for her to tellthe worst situation rather than hide i t from
me.
| took a deep breath. "Got it. I'll ask Theo about the project when he comes back."
"Okay."
Just as | was about to hang up, Heidi hesitated to say," I'm not sure if | should tell you this."
Anything that she was hesitant about tellingmust not be something trivial. | had a bad feeling about this.
"What is it about?"
"It's about Cecilia."
Heidi spoke in a soft voice but | could still hear her. | clenched the phone tightly and prompted, "Tellwhat
happened to Cecilia.”
Thinking about how | had not been able to reach Cecilia, coupled with how Jeralways stammered when he
spoke toand how he always said he would get Cecilia to callback but she never did, | felt my heart begin
beating rapidly. Could something... have happened to Cecilia?
Heidi lowered her voice even more. "I went to Grant Corporation last week to talk about a partnership and
unintentionally overheard someone saying that a pregnant lady had cto see Mason. They seemed to share
an extraordinary relationship, and | heard Cecilia's name, so | asked about it. After hearing their physical
description, | 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 relationship, but | decided to tell you this because | want you to ask Cecilia about it. Perhaps she'd
know more about Mason than everyone else."
| bit my lip. "I got it."
After hanging up the call, | quickly called Jerome.
However, Jerome's phone was switched off.

| did not have evidence that Mason was the one responsible for the frequent accidents in Grant Corporation.
Even if | told Theo about it, he would not necessarily believeeither. 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. |
needed to think about it. 1
| was most worried about Cecilia's condition at the moment. Why did she not contactif she was okay?
What did Cecilia experience before my accident?
My phone rang. | glanced at it and saw that it was from Lawrence. | put away the messy thoughts in my head
and repetitively told myself to get myself together.
After changing my clothes, | went out to meet Lawrence. He asked to meet at a Western restaurant, and the
waiter ledto a private room. | pushed the door open, and Lawrence immediately got up from his chair,
looking very eager.
"Miss Lane, | thought you weren't coming anymore," h e said with a wry smile.
| walked over with a smile and sat down. "I'm not the kind of person who'd go back on my word."
