The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1300

Chapter 1300

Petra held back the urge to cry and kept taking deep breaths. "What did you just say, my daughter?"

She could not believe her own ears.

In the end, she still failed to hold back tears and started tearing up.

She raised her hand to wipe her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears started falling.

I felt a lump in my throat when I saw her cry. My mind was full of what Cassey had just said. 'You'renot the only one who's been hurting this whole time.'

I was not the only one who was hurting. Petra and Grayson were also hurting.

Although I was the victim, as parents, what they experienced after hurting their own child wasbeyond excruciating pain.

Guilt would always be the most painful in this world.

I sniffled and said again, "Mom, did Dad go out?"

"He didn't." Petra was full of tears, but a smile remained on her face. She pointed behind me andsaid, "He went upstairs to change his clothes."

After saying that, she beckoned to Grayson. "Did you hear that, Grayson? Your daughter is askingyou where you went."

She then lowered her head and started wiping her tears. The smile on the corners of her mouthcould not be suppressed no matter what.

I turned around and looked at Grayson. He had changed into warmer pajamas and looked a littlebloated. He stared at me with pink eyes. "I didn't go anywhere. Where can I go when you're at

home?”

I felt like I could understand their feelings right now. When Munchkin first learned how to talk andcalled me ’Mommy’ for the first time, I was this excited as well. I had hugged and kissed him for avery long time, feeling like there was nothing in the world that was more delightful than this.

It just so happened that I had something I wanted to ask Grayson about, so I smiled and said, "Ihave questions about Grant Corporation to ask you, Dad."

"Sure."

Grayson was grinning from ear to ear now. He gestured for me to go sit in the living room. Aftergoing to the living room and sitting on the sofa, I waited for him to calm down for a bit.

Petra poured us a glass of lemonade and asked me, "What do you want to have for lunch? I'll makeit for you."

"Anything’s fine."

Petra did not care if my answer was too perfunctory and went to the kitchen with great delight.

She was in high spirits and entered the kitchen with feather-light steps.

Grayson looked at her back and said gratefully, "I have no more regrets in life now that you’vecalled us Mom and Dad."

"I’ll call you Mom and Dad more often in the future."

Grayson took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. "Okay.

Later, he told me about Grant Corporation." This matter is quite difficult to resolve.

Society is demanding Grant Corporation give an explanation, and so are the other parties. We can'tinterfere right now, especially Carlson. He mustn't get involved in this matter, or it'll only get worse.

"But Theo is really capable. I believe he can handle this well. You don’t need to be too worried. Alisted company like Grant Corporation won’t go bankrupt so easily. Besides, the only company thatcan deal Grant Corporation a heavy blow right now is Zimmer Corporations. Their strength is on parwith Grant Corporation. However, Zimmer Corporations is going in a rather different direction.There’s no benefit in engaging in corporate competition, so it will be fine."

I breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.

Indeed, like what he said, it was almost impossible to make a large enterprise like GrantCorporation go bankrupt, though there would be people who disagreed. Even so, a large enterprisecould support more than just the hundreds of employees in the office building.

Besides, I believed that Theo could handle it well. After all, he had overcome the waves and stormsto get here today, did he not?
