Chapter 877

The incident of Elena falling into the swimming pool was initially no big deal and she could easily

recover after recuperating in the hospital for a few days, but this had somehow made it to the

headlines in Whaldorf City. It was said that due to the fierce internal strife between Grant

Corporation's employees, Elena was deliberately pushed into the swimming pool and her life was

now hanging by a thread.

Someone, who claimed to be Grant Corporation's employee, even revealed that Elena was usually

a target of envy by many. Even though it stated 'many', the words that followed basically pointed out

who that person was.

When Theo received the call, he was examining the secret of the sandalwood box with me.

Seeing his complexion turn cold, I asked, "What happened?"

He put the box aside, then looked at me and said," Something happened at work."

I never had the habit of diving into the details, but seeing how deeply his brows were furrowed, I

figured i t was probably something that was very difficult to deal with. I could not help but ask, "Can I

know what it is?"

Theo sighed gently. "It’s about the incident of Elena being pushed into the swimming pool last night.

Someone wrote an article about it."

I nodded and did not ask further.

Theo went back to the room to get changed, and I followed him.

I checked my phone and could roughly guess what was happening.

Someone was trying to convince others that Grant Corporation had management issues by writing

an article about Elena falling into the swimming pool.

If the speculation that there was internal strife and fierce competition between Grant Corporation's

employees was confirmed, it could only mean that there was something wrong with the company’s

top management. It could lead to the damage of Grant Corporation's image, and as a result, their

stocks would crash.

This was the so-called domino effect.

This incident was done deliberately to bring Grant Corporation’s stocks down. Theo probably knew

this a s well.

After sitting on the bed and pondering for a few minutes, I went downstairs to the cloakroom.

When Theo came downstairs and saw me fully dressed and ready to go out, he was stunned. "Are

you going out?"

I nodded and said with a smile, "Yeah."

Theo helplessly smiled. He walked up to me and persuaded me, saying, "I'll just go to the company

for a while to understand what exactly is going on. If you want to go out, can you wait until I get

back to go out with you?"

I looked up at him and decisively refused. "No."

Seeing the slight frown on his face, I could not help but laugh. "You go to the company to find out

what happened, and I'll go to the hospital to visit Elena. Although I have no idea what happened in

the company, I can still make some modest contributions."

He raised his eyebrows and planted a kiss on my cheek. "It's a waste to keep you at home. Should I

consider hiring you as my secretary?"

I snorted. "Am I only qualified to be a secretary?"

I was amused. "You can be anything!"

Not wanting to bicker with him further, I grabbed my bag and car keys before leaving the villa. After

giving each other reminders, we headed off to the company and hospital respectively.

The drive from the villa to the hospital took about 40 minutes.

When I arrived at the hospital, I was surprised to see Celine after getting out of the car.

"Ms. Celine!" I called out to her.

She turned around after I called her a few times. She was equally surprised to see me. "Ms. Lane."

I walked up to her and said with a smile, "Don't call m e Ms. Lane. I've left Grant Corporation for

many years now. Just call me by my name."

She smiled. "It's a habit.”

We walked to the elevator and I pushed the button. Seeing the downcast expression on her face, I

asked," Are you here to visit Elena?"

When the elevator reached our floor, Celine stepped into the elevator and replied, "No."

Sensing vague tension between her and Elena, I did not ask further.
