NovelEnglishChapter 177 Having said that, he fell silent again before saying, "If you're smart, Wanda, you should know that sometimes, if you insist on doing something, you'll only end up being the unlucky one in the end." "What do you mean by Til end up being the unlucky one in the end'?" I felt like I was being pushed into a major conspiracy. Most importantly, I had no idea what they were up to at all.
Zedd did not say any more and hung up straight away.
Seeing the crowd, I felt a little afraid and pulled out my phone to call Cecilia.
"Where are you? I was just about to call you." As soon as the call connected, Cecilia's anxious voice was heard. "Downstairs of Grant Corporation," I replied weakly.

You don't have to cout." I did not want to go in when the situation was this bad either. Therefore, I revved up the engine and drove to Cecilia's house.
As soon as I stepped in through the door, she pulledand asked anxiously, "What exactly is going on? I saw the news saying that you're to be held accountable for it." I sighed. "Grandma gavehalf of the equity when she first started this company. Even though I didn't manage it, lots of documents after that were signed and approved by me." She was stunned. "So someone planned to set you up from the start and deliberately made you take the blame?" I nodded. From what I could see so far, that seemed to be the case.
"They also checked Grant Corporation's financial reports and say that we're using this company to launder money. If it's true, then I'm afraid Grant Corporation will suffer a major crisis and may even face bankruptcy." "I don't care about other stuff. Bankrupt or not, I don't care. I'm just worried about you. Everyone on the inteis saying that you're the one who's behind the deaths.
"Also, something has happened with the new product endorsement. They say that the shareholders are all putting the blon you for starting the rumors and leaking the master copy. Sof the shareholders are particularly extreme, so you must be careful." I held my forehead. For a moment, I felt like I was being attacked from all sides.
Seeing how I was behaving, Cecilia said, "Don't panic first. Theo will probably take care of the monetary problems for you. However, I think it'll be hard for you to go to work again in the future. Perfect timing, I suppose. We can leave everything behind and head straight to Rosella City." My heart was a mess. I crouched down on the floor and hugged my head, saying, "Theo can't handle this. He got into an accident and is currently in an ICU in Whaldorf City receiving emergency treatment. I don't even know if he's dead or alive." "What's happening? Why is everything happening all a t once? I refuse to believe that no one's behind this!" Cecilia screamed while clenching her fists.
I panicked. If someone was actually behind this, then what was the other party's purpose for doing this? Was he trying to bringor Grant Corporation down? I was still pondering when Miss Woods calledand said that there were many people outside the villa. She toldnot to go back.
My head hurt even more. The only thing I was glad about was how safe it was at Cecilia's place because no one knew about it. i Xander gavea call to tellthat Theo's surgery was a success but he was still unconscious and in the ICU. The only thing I could do now was wait.
This lasted several days.
The bad thing about the intewas that even the smallest things were infinitely magnified. GrantCorporation's status in Salt City spoke for itself. The headlines published by major news agencies, selfpublished media, and trending hashtags recently were all about these matters. Someone died in Grant Corporation's factory...

They also talked about Grant Corporation's internal management issues and so on.
All of a sudden, the so-called insiders started exposing all sorts of slander and misinformation was also described as being an unconventional and promiscuous sinner.
As expected, Grant Corporation's stocks crashed to a limit down. Many shareholders could not stand the N pressure and stood downstairs of Grant Corporation every day to demand an explanation. They demanded that I, the vicious criminal, show myself.
Although the company held a press conference, it was of no use because Theo and I did not show up. It did not put things to rest.
The fuss that the stockholders created directly led to the shutdown of all the Grants' businesses.
