The incident of Elena falling into the swimming pool was initially no big deal and she could easily recover after recuperating in the hospital for a few days, but this had somehow made it to the headlines in Whaldorf City. It was said that due to the fierce internal strife between Grant Corporation's employees, Elena was deliberately pushed into the swimming pool and her life was now hanging by a thread.
Someone, who claimed to be Grant Corporation's employee, even revealed that Elena was usually a target of envy by many. Even though it stated 'many', the words that followed basically pointed out who that person was.
When Theo received the call, he was examining the secret of the sandalwood box with me.
Seeing his complexion turn cold, I asked, "What happened?"
He put the box aside, then looked at me and said," Something happened at work."
I never had the habit of diving into the details, but seeing how deeply his brows were furrowed, I figured i t was probably something that was very difficult to deal with. I could not help but ask, "Can I know what it is?"
Theo sighed gently. "It’s about the incident of Elena being pushed into the swimming pool last night.
Someone wrote an article about it."
I nodded and did not ask further.
Theo went back to the room to get changed, and I followed him.
I checked my phone and could roughly guess what was happening.
Someone was trying to convince others that Grant Corporation had management issues by writing an article about Elena falling into the swimming pool.
If the speculation that there was internal strife and fierce competition between Grant Corporation's employees was confirmed, it could only mean that there was something wrong with the company’s top management. It could lead to the damage of Grant Corporation's image, and as a result, their stocks would crash.
This was the so-called domino effect.
This incident was done deliberately to bring Grant Corporation’s stocks down. Theo probably knew this a s well.
After sitting on the bed and pondering for a few minutes, I went downstairs to the cloakroom.
When Theo came downstairs and saw me fully dressed and ready to go out, he was stunned. "Are you going out?"
