The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 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 m y phone to call Cecilia.

"Where are you? I was just about to call you." As soon a s the call connected, Cecilia's anxious voice was heard.

"Downstairs of Grant Corporation,” I replied weakly.

"Don’t go in. I watched the news and this is huge. I'll come and pick you up immediately.”

"No, I'm not going in and am on the other side of the road. I drove here. You don't have to come out." 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 pulled m e and asked anxiously, "What exactly is going on? I

saw the news saying that you're to be held accountable for it."

I sighed. "Grandma gave me half 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 internet is 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 blame on you for starting the rumors and leaking the master copy. Some of 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.

The bad thing about the internet was that even the smallest things were infinitely magnified. Grant Corporation'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...

Mrs. Grant had a lover boy, resulting in the delayed release of new products and breach of Newlight Media's contract...

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. I 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 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.
