The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1319

Theo was dead beat. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Listening to his even breathing, I wormed into his arms and closed my eyes.

At this moment, there were noises outside. Someone had come in.

Theo was in deep sleep, so I tiptoed out of bed and walked out of the lounge.

The person who came in was Keith. He wore an anxious look on his face. It seemed like another issue had cropped up.

Seeing me coming out of the lounge, he hastily asked, "Has Mr. Grant fallen asleep, Mrs. Grant?"

I nodded. "What happened?"

"Amelia's family is clamoring even harder downstairs. Several more people just arrived and they all claim to be her relatives. The security guards can't stop them from rushing into the company. We can't continue to let them be."

I asked with a frown, "Theo told you to investigate Amelia's relationship and family affairs yesterday. How did the investigation go? Also, who's the kid standing next to Amelia's parents?"

Keith sighed. "That's Amelia's child. He's five this year. The child's father is unknown. She was pregnant when she was in college, then took a break and gave birth to the child before continuing through college "Amelia's parents were ordinary workers, and they're both retired. The family was doing well at first, but Amelia's brother suddenly became addicted to gambling and gambled away his parents' pension, savings, and house. Right now, the family is renting a 645 sq ft house. Life has been difficult for them."

After he said that, I understood why Amelia's parents were in such a hurry to get the money.

The family depended on Amelia's salary to survive, and now that Amelia was dead, it would be difficult for two elderly and a child to sustain themselves.

I thought about it and said, "You probably didn't have any sleep last night. Go back to the office and get some sleep first. I'll handle the commotion downstairs." Keith shook his head with unease. "I'm not tired. Let me go downstairs with you."

I pursed my lips and said very seriously,' Keith, although I haven't been working in Grant Corporation all these years, that doesn't mean I don't know anything. Besides, the commotion downstairs is a civil dispute that I can handle. Just relax and go get some rest."

Keith was still hesitant. He was just about to say something when his phone rang.

He apologized and took it.

It was a call from his wife.

"Honey, our child has a fever. Can you come home right now?"

Keith's countenance changed. He looked at me and said, "I'll leave it to you to handle the commotion downstairs then, Mrs.

Grant. I have things to handle at home and need to make a trip back. I'll be back very soon."

I reminded him, "Don't rush through it.

Drive safe."

I went downstairs after Keith left.

It was working hours. There were dozens of people clamoring in the lobby, and no one was in the mood to work.

I had not seen any banners earlier, so they must have just arrived. There were three big words in red written on it 'Life For Life'. The banner looked extremely creepy.
