Chapter 479

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 criminalevidence from him?

"I went to the Louises' house two days ago and met Grayson's sister. This woman has beenpampered since young and is tremendously spoiled. She dislikes Petra and Cindy. I believe it'll be arough 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 intoan issue. Rumor has it that a person who used the product became unwell and was sent to thehospital but soon passed away. After that incident, victims started appearing one after another. Thisis 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’treported 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 atrisk 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 thanhide 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 feelingabout 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, "Tellme what happened to Cecilia.”

Thinking about how I had not been able to reach Cecilia, coupled with how Jerome alwaysstammered when he spoke to me and how he always said he would get Cecilia to call me back butshe never did, I 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 apartnership and

unintentionally overheard someone saying that a pregnant lady had come to see Mason. Theyseemed to share an extraordinary relationship, and I heard Cecilia's name, so I asked about it. Afterhearing their physical description, I knew that it was indeed Cecilia. They recounted how haggardCecilia 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’schild or anything about their relationship, but I decided to tell you this because I want you to askCecilia about it. Perhaps she’d know more about Mason than everyone else."

I bit my lip. "I got it."

After hanging up the call, I quickly called Jerome.

However, Jerome's phone was switched off.

I bit my fingers, feeling tremendously flustered.

I did not have evidence that Mason was the one responsible for the frequent accidents in GrantCorporation. Even if I told Theo about it, he would not necessarily believe me either. Even if hebelieved me, he would probably have to replace a way to deal with the problem first now that thesituation had gotten out of hand. I needed to think about it. 1

I was most worried about Cecilia's condition at the moment. Why did she not contact me if she wasokay?

What did Cecilia experience before my accident?

My phone rang. I glanced at it and saw that it was from Lawrence. I put away the messy thoughts inmy head and repetitively told myself to get myself together.

After changing my clothes, I went out to meet Lawrence. He asked to meet at a Western restaurant,and the waiter led me to a private room. I pushed the door open, and Lawrence immediately got upfrom his chair, looking very eager.

"Miss Lane, I thought you weren't coming anymore," h e said with a wry smile.

I walked over with a smile and sat down. "I'm not the kind of person who'd go back on my word."
