The Woman From Hell
Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Although I was terrified when we first got on the road, I had calmed down now.

Slowly, I recalled the time when Grandma was still alive. Afraid that Theo would leave me aloneafter she was no longer around, she opened a small company that produced shampoos and gaveme 50% of the equity.

However, due to poor management afterward, the business closed down in just less than two years.

As I did not contribute money nor took part in the management, I did not pay much attention to thismatter. When Theo told me that the company went bankrupt and the site would be given to Zedd, Idid not think much about it at the time.

I did not expect that this company still existed and something this serious had happened.

When I arrived at the Administration for Industry and Commerce, a man in civilian clothes satacross from m e.

"Ms. Wanda, we learned that your company's product caused a customer to experience serious hairloss due to issues in product quality two years ago. The customer eventually suffered fromdepression and

committed suicide. Just last night, a family member o f the deceased consumed poison to commitsuicide in front of the factory. Are you aware of this?"

I shook my head immediately. "I'm not aware of it at all. I admit that this company exists under GrantCorporation, but production halted two years ago. As for the customer you just mentioned, it'sactually my first time hearing about this case."

I was honestly unaware of this incident.

"Ms. Wanda, you said that this company has halted production, yet you've still been earning profitsin the last two years. Moreover, many of the documents were personally signed and approved byyou. Don't tell me you're unaware of these things?"

Unbelievable. I had no idea how to defend myself at all and could only keep shaking my head. "Idon’t know. I don’t know anything at all."

"Please calm down, Ms. Wanda. You're the company's shareholder and the one who signed all theMid-Nutri documents. We have evidence of it."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the two lives, they're not directly related to you, so the policewill handle it. Therefore, this case is more industrial and commercial in nature. You just need toexplain to us about the money laundering, but as far as you're concerned, you're not in any trouble."

The man's words reminded me that the person had only died in front of the factory but the reasonwas still unclear. This was not a criminal case yet, so it could only be considered an economic case.

After calming myself down, I looked at the man in front of me and said, "I'm really sorry but I can'tanswer your questions now. You’re illegally detaining me and violating my human rights. I willreserve the right to take legal actions."

Mid-Nutri was under Grant Corporation, after all. Even if something happened, I was not directlyinvolved.

As for the person’s death, something was clearly wrong here. Perhaps someone was framing me onpurpose. I could not say anything at the moment because Theo was not around. If anything wentwrong, the Grants' attorney would step in and solve it.

Seeing that I had raised my guard, the man got up and said, "I initially wanted to give you a chanceto come clean, but since you refuse to say anything, I guess we can only do things by the book

now."

The man left the room after saying those words.

As there was no substantial evidence found, the Administration for Industry and Commerce did nothave the power to detain people. Hence, after a quick questioning, I was allowed to leave.

I went to Grant Corporation as soon as I got out.

I was still unclear as to what had happened, but there was certainly a conspiracy behind thisincident.

Before the car arrived at Grant Corporation, I could already see a crowd from afar.

I did not rashly go forward and gave Mason a call instead. The call was unanswered.

I then called Zedd. Fortunately, he answered it.

"Zedd, you've been using Mid-Nutri's company site this whole time, right? What was the reason forthe fatality last night? I need an explanation.” I owned half of the company's shares, so I had theresponsibility to ask about it.

Zedd fell silent for a moment before saying, "You’re something huh, Wanda? Shouldn't you beworried about Theo right now? Aren't you worried whether he’ll come out alive or not?”

I had a splitting headache. The fear and forbearance from last night finally exploded at this moment.

I yelled without a single care, “Do you think it's my responsibility if he insists on dying in a caraccident with his lover? Did the two agree not to stop until they could die together? What, so onecar accident isn't enough and they got into another in Whaldorf City?”

Zedd fell silent.

After a very long time, he said, "I've sent someone to handle Mid-Nutri's incident. You indeed signedsome of the documents because you hold half of the equity, hence you have the right to decide.Theo knows this. You can ask him yourself when he's out of danger!"
