The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1318

Next to them stood a five to six-year-old child with a somewhat dazed expression. It was unclear what the child's relationship with Amelia was. Keith walked out of the company with dark eye circles. Several bodyguards followed behind him, and they escorted the employees into the company.

He was stunned when he saw me. "You're early, Mrs. Grant. Mr. Grant had a meeting all night and it just ended."

I looked at Amelia's parents and asked," How long have they been here?"

"They arrived last night and have been standing here the whole time, clamoring for compensation. The police haven't come up with the results yet, so we can't proceed with compensation yet." Keith's expression was sullen.

I nodded and did not ask anything else.

At this moment, I heard the employees discussing among themselves. "Amelia's parents are a handful. Mr. Grant has personally gone downstairs to tell them that he'll give them maximum compensation no matter what the result is, but they're still causing a scene. It doesn't seem like they're seeking compensation. They seem more like they're here to discredit Grant Corporation."

I pursed my lips and looked at Keith, asking, "Is there a big difference between the compensation for accidental death and suicide?"

"The difference is huge..." Keith sighed. "If it's an accidental death, the company needs to compensate a large amount and also refurbish the entire company's security system. If it's a suicide, then we don't need to compensate for anything. But for humanitarian reasons, we will still offer compensation, just not a lot."

After hearing what he said, I understood why Amelia's parents were making a scene.

When things like that happened in a company, it was necessary to minimize the impact as much as possible. Amelia's parents knew that, and that was why they came to make a scene. When the time came, even if Amelia's case was a suicide, Theo would still give them a lot of money in order to reduce the impact.

However, a night had passed and Theo still did not give them any money to make them leave. It seemed like he was still waiting for the result before taking further action.

Amelia's parents' eyes were red and swollen. Their voices were hoarse as well. How could their aged bodies take it after wailing here all night?

The child standing next to them looked like he was going to pass out at any time.

I sighed and said to Keith, "Please get someone to buy them some breakfast."

Keith frowned, not quite able to understand why. "They're here to cause a scene."

I pursed my lips. "The child is really pitiful. Please."

Keith did not say anything else and nodded to agree.

After going upstairs to Theo's office, I saw him going through some documents and walking over to put the meal bag in my hand on the desk. I jerked the documents out of his hand.

"You don't want to feel well anymore?" I pretended to be angry. "I know you work very hard, but you can't work too hard. You haven't had any sleep and now you're working again after having a meeting. How can your body take it? Hurry up and have your breakfast, then go to the lounge to take a rest."

A smile broke out on Theo's weary face. He opened his arms and wrapped them around my waist, taking a deep breath. "Why are you here so early? You didn't sleep well last night?"

I looked at his slightly messy hair and felt very sorry for him. "Don't worry about me. You should look at how tired you look. Be good and listen to me. Take your breakfast and go to sleep."

After saying that, I opened the meal bag and took out an insulated lunch box, then watched him finish it all.

After breakfast, he held onto me and told me to sleep with him.

Although I did not feel like sleeping, I did not have the heart to refuse him after seeing how exhausted he was.

"I can't sleep without you by my side." There was a hint of resignation in his voice.

I helplessly sighed and accompanied him to bed.
