Chapter 707: 707: Fake Identity

“Your mother went shopping for supplies a couple of days ago and was hit by a car. She fell down but thought it was no big deal. She settled merely for reimbursement for her medical expenses from the driver at that time. She tried applying medicine for sprains and bruises for the last two days, but her condition didn’t improve. She couldn’t get out of bed this morning.

Your family’s dumpling shop didn’t open today. I called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. The doctors say it’s severe, and she needs to have surgery. Grace, don’t just sit there crying; start thinking of a solution.”

Grace Ziegler’s tears were unceasing; her eyes had turned red from crying, “Victoria, I got it. I’ll rush home as soon as possible. Thank you, and could you please take care of my mother for a bit.”

“Don’t worry, us neighbors will take care of your mom. Just be careful on your way back, don’t hurry, as long as you come back safe.”

After Victoria hung up, Grace Ziegler continued weeping, unable to control her emotions.

Daniel Marshall’s brows furrowed in worry. His heart tightened, and a hint of worry flashed in his deep eyes.

He had already messaged Adam Howard, asking him to quickly find out what happened.

Seeing her state, Daniel didn’t have the heart to bring up the matter of her job transfer any longer.

“Grace Ziegler, tell Director Bailey what’s going on, and hurry home. Do you have enough money?”

Money?

Grace Ziegler had no savings at all; her credit cards were maxed out.

Each month after getting her salary, the first thing she does is pay off her credit card bill, but it’s never enough. Usually, she didn’t dare ask her mother for money.

If she were still working in the CEO’s office, her financial condition would be fine, but going to the PR department meant a cut in her pay.

Paying the monthly rent of five thousand was already a struggle for her.

Moreover, she bought a little luxury good each month, so her salary is practically a drop in the bucket.

Seeing Grace’s silence, Daniel picked up the office intercom, “Give me fifty thousand in cash.”

Shortly after, Adam Howard came in with a brown paper bag and gave it to Daniel.

Adam Howard’s sharp gaze scanned Grace Ziegler, before he left the room.

Daniel handed the brown paper bag to Grace, “Take these fifty thousand. If it’s not enough, give me a call. If you run into trouble, you can call me. Now go, be careful on the road.”

Grace stood up, bowing deeply to Chief Daniel, “Thank you very much, Chief Daniel. I’ll remember this, and work even harder in the future. I will repay the money.”

Daniel slightly nodded, not saying anything else.

After Grace left, Daniel immediately called Adam Howard into his office.

“What kind of people are you sending to Binzhou? How are they taking care of my mother? My mother has had an accident, she can’t get out of bed now, she’s in the hospital and she needs to have surgery. How are these people doing their job?”

Daniel stood up, pointing at Adam and angrily berated him.

Fire seemed to flash in Daniel’s eyes, he even ferociously hammered the black, leather chair.

Adam, pursing his lips, addressed him sincerely, “I’m sorry, I’ve made calls to ask about it; indeed, it was their oversight. When they saw your mother got hit, they helped her up right away and even spoke up for her, they were willing to be witnesses.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“But your mother kept saying she was fine, that there was no need to call the police or to go to the hospital, so those people thought there was no issue and thus didn’t alert you, and the driver who hit her paid for the damages and left. They noticed the dumpling shop did not open today, so they figured out what happened, your mother is indeed in the hospital.”

“Your mom registered at the hospital using Ella Lee’s identity. They’ve taken care of everything at the hospital, no one will find out about her fake identity. They’re still waiting for further examination to determine the extent of the injury, but the doctor said your mother’s injuries are quite severe; it looks like she might have fractured her femur.”
