Theo was dead beat. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Listening to his even breathing, | wormed into his arms and closed my eyes.
At this moment, there were noises outside. Someone had cin.
Theo was in deep sleep, so | tiptoed out of bed and walked out of the lounge.
The person who cin was Keith. He wore an anxious look on his face. It seemed like another issue had
cropped up.
Seeingcoming out of the lounge, he hastily asked, "Has Mr. Grant fallen asleep, Mrs. Grant?"
| nodded. "What happened?"

"Amelia's family is clamoring even harder downstairs. Several more people just arrived and they all claim to be
her relatives. The security guards can't stop them from rushing into the company. We can't continue to let them
be."
| asked with a frown, "Theo told you to investigate Amelia's relationship and family affairs yesterday. How did the
investigation go? Also, who's the kid standing next to Amelia's parents?"
Keith sighed. "That's Amelia's child. He's five this year. The child's father is unknown. She was pregnant when
she was in college, then took a break and gave birth to the child before continuing through college "Amelia's
parents were ordinary workers, and they're both retired. The family was doing well at first, but Amelia's brother
suddenly becaddicted to gambling and gambled away his parents' pension, savings, and house. Right now,
the family is renting a 645 sq ft house. Life has been difficult for them."
After he said that, | understood why Amelia's parents were in such a hurry to get the money.
The family depended on Amelia's salary to survive, and now that Amelia was dead, it would be difficult for two
elderly and a child to sustain themselves.
| thought about it and said, "You probably didn't have any sleep last night. Go back to the office and get some
sleep first. I'll handle the commotion downstairs." Keith shook his head with unease. "I'm not tired. Letgo
downstairs with you."
| pursed my lips and said very seriously," Keith, although | haven't been working in Grant Corporation all these
years, that doesn't mean | don't know anything. Besides, the commotion downstairs is a civil dispute that | can
handle. Just relax and go get srest."
Keith was still hesitant. He was just about to say something when his phone rang.
He apologized and took it.
It was a call from his wife.

"Honey, our child has a fever. Can you chright now?"
Keith's countenance changed. He looked atand said, "I'll leave it to you to handle the commotion downstairs
then, Mrs.
Grant. | have things to handle at hand need to make a trip back. I'll be back very soon."
| reminded him, "Don't rush through it.
Drive safe."
| went downstairs after Keith left.
It was working hours. There were dozens of people clamoring in the lobby, and no one was in the mood to work.
I had not seen any banners earlier, so they must have just arrived. There were three big words in red written on «
it ‘Life For Life'. The banner looked extremely creepy.
