The Woman From Hell

Chapter 176

Although I was terrified when we first got on the road, I had calmed down now.

Slowly, I recalled the time when Grandma was still alive. Afraid that Theo would leave me alone after she was no longer around, she opened a small company that produced shampoos and gave me 50% of the equity.

However, due to poor management afterward, the business closed down in just less than two years.

As I did not contribute money nor took part in the management, I did not pay much attention to this matter. When Theo told me that the company went bankrupt and the site would be given to Zedd, I did not think much about it at the time.

I did not expect that this company still existed and something this serious had happened.

When I arrived at the Administration for Industry and Commerce, a man in civilian clothes sat across from m e.

"Ms. Wanda, we learned that your company's product caused a customer to experience serious hair loss due to issues in product quality two years ago. The customer eventually suffered from depression and

committed suicide. Just last night, a family member o f the deceased consumed poison to commit suicide in front of the factory. Are you aware of this?"

I shook my head immediately. "I'm not aware of it at all. I admit that this company exists under Grant Corporation, but production halted two years ago. As for the customer you just mentioned, it's actually my first time hearing about this case." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I was honestly unaware of this incident.

"Ms. Wanda, you said that this company has halted production, yet you've still been earning profits in the last two years. Moreover, many of the documents were personally signed and approved by you. Don't tell me you're unaware of these things?"

Unbelievable. I had no idea how to defend myself at all and could only keep shaking my head. "I don’t know. I don’t know anything at all."

"Please calm down, Ms. Wanda. You're the company's shareholder and the one who signed all the Mid-Nutri documents. We have evidence of it."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the two lives, they're not directly related to you, so the police will handle it. Therefore, this case is more industrial and commercial in nature. You just need to explain to us about the money laundering, but as far as you're concerned, you're not in any trouble."

The man's words reminded me that the person had only died in front of the factory but the reason was still unclear. This was not a criminal case yet, so it could only be considered an economic case.

After calming myself down, I looked at the man in front of me and said, "I'm really sorry but I can't answer your questions now. You’re illegally detaining me and violating my human rights. I will reserve the right to take legal actions."

Mid-Nutri was under Grant Corporation, after all. Even if something happened, I was not directly involved.

As for the person’s death, something was clearly wrong here. Perhaps someone was framing me on purpose. I could not say anything at the moment because Theo was not around. If anything went wrong, the Grants' attorney would step in and solve it.

Seeing that I had raised my guard, the man got up and said, "I initially wanted to give you a chance to come clean, but since you refuse to say anything, I guess we can only do things by the book

now."

The man left the room after saying those words.

As there was no substantial evidence found, the Administration for Industry and Commerce did not have the power to detain people. Hence, after a quick questioning, I was allowed to leave.

I went to Grant Corporation as soon as I got out.

I was still unclear as to what had happened, but there was certainly a conspiracy behind this incident.

Before the car arrived at Grant Corporation, I could already see a crowd from afar.

I did not rashly go forward and gave Mason a call instead. The call was unanswered.

I then called Zedd. Fortunately, he answered it.

"Zedd, you've been using Mid-Nutri's company site this whole time, right? What was the reason for the fatality last night? I need an explanation.” I owned half of the company's shares, so I had the responsibility to ask about it.

Zedd fell silent for a moment before saying, "You’re something huh, Wanda? Shouldn't you be worried about Theo right now? Aren't you worried whether he’ll come out alive or not?”

I had a splitting headache. The fear and forbearance from last night finally exploded at this moment.

I yelled without a single care, “Do you think it's my responsibility if he insists on dying in a car accident with his lover? Did the two agree not to stop until they could die together? What, so one car accident isn't enough and they got into another in Whaldorf City?”

Zedd fell silent.

After a very long time, he said, "I've sent someone to handle Mid-Nutri's incident. You indeed signed some of the documents because you hold half of the equity, hence you have the right to decide. Theo knows this. You can ask him yourself when he's out of danger!"
