Chapter 178 A big part of Salt City's economy depended on the Grants. With the closure of shopping malls, hospitals, and the construction industry, the entire city was almost at a standstill. Although the government had stepped in, the stockholders were convinced and wanted to see Theo in person.

There was nothing I could do but read the news every day. I was all over the internet, and I was too afraid to g o to the company. Moreover, there were a lot of things that I could not figure out. All I could do was stay indoors in an anxious state.

Cecilia would buy various groceries every day and cook all sorts of dishes for me. Her culinary skills had improved considerably, and I could almost swallow the food she made.

"You shouldn't get too anxious. You're pregnant, and your belly is growing bigger and bigger every day.

Your health is of utmost importance. The things going on now are completely out of your control," Cecilia said and comforted me.

I nodded, but I had no appetite to eat. Although I understood Cecilia's words, it was impossible fornot to worry.

"I hope the audit results will be released soon. At least, it'll allow Grant Corporation to resbusiness because the loss this tis incalculable." "I don't think it's possible. Theo has shot himself in the foot big time. If Grant Corporation goes bankrupt, then he'll have a lifetof debts that he can't repay. Wanda, you need to divorce him immediately after he wakes up!" Cecilia looked worriedly at me.

Standing in Cecilia's shoes, I knew that she was just worried about me. Humans were selfish. It was an undeniable fact that we would always choose to stand on the side of those who were closest to us. However, I could not do so.

I said, "Grandma was really nice toback then. If I ask for a divorce at this moment, then I'll not be able to ease my conscience for the rest of my life. If Grant Corporation really goes bankrupt, then as his wife, I'll accompany him through the difficult times." Cecilia did not respond to that and merely looked atbefore asking, "Have you ever wondered if Zedd is the one behind this? Mid-Nutri got in trouble under his management but the signatures were all signed by you. Do you think he used you because he has been wanting to deal with Theo for the longest time?" I had suspicions about this earlier but Theo brushed it off when I mentioned it to him. Zedd had said himself that Theo was the one who authorized the signing of the documents.

Also, Zedd and Theo managed the company together, so if anything happened to Grant Corporation, Zedd would not be able to safeguard himself either. This was evident from their company's share situation.

Zedd was no fool. He would not do such a thing to hurt his own interests. Hence, the truth of the matter would only be out after Theo's return.

I did not know anything about the company's operation. Thinking about these things would only make my head hurt. I did not know what to do at all.

Cecilia walked over and tookin her arms, comforting me. "Don't think about it anymore. You can't do anything to change the result now. Who knows, maybe this is happening right when Theo got into a car accident because it's a set-up by his business foes." I had thought about the things Cecilia said. Theo was in an accident, Mason and Zedd were not around, and all the news was exposed overnight. Every move seemed to have been planned in advance.

However, I had not heard the news of Grant Corporation offending anyone all these years. Why would anyone drive the corporation to this point? My brain began to carefully search for the most likely suspect, and suddenly, a lightbulb lit up in my head and a nappeared.

Grayson Louis.

I seemed to connect the dots all at once. The last the cto me, I had rejected his suggestions. Before Grayson left, he vowed to use extraordinary means.

Thinking about it now, he had just found his long-lost daughter and would certainly try to fulfill her wish by all means. Cindy's only wish was to marry Theo.

However, I was pregnant and he could not possibly force Theo to divorce me. Hence, the only way to do it was to setup and then put Grant Corporation in a difficult e position so I would take the blame. It would forceto resign and leave. They would then step in to help Grant Corporation. It would be a walk in the park to get Theo to give up on me.

They had been targetingsince the very beginning. Besides, Zedd even toldpreviously that I should just give up.

"What's wrong?" Seeing how astonished I look, Cecilia asked me.

I looked at Cecilia and said solemnly, "I think that this is indeed a conspiracy, but it isn't directed at Grant Corporation. Their target is me." X
