Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel 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 for me not to worry.

"I hope the audit results will be released soon. At least,

it'll allow Grant Corporation to resume business because the loss this time is 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 lifetime of 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 to me back then. If I ask for a divorce at this moment, then I'll not be able t o 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 at m e before 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, s o if anything happened to Grant Corporation, Zedd would not be able to safeguard himself either. This was evident from their company’s share situation.
