Chapter 618

All the major companies' holidays had ended. I received many texts from the company asking me

when I would return to Whaldorf City as there were many artists waiting for my arrangements.

I thought about it and planned to go back in two days.

"What time did Theo go out this morning, Miss Woods?" I asked when Miss Woods came in to clear

the table.

"He left at dawn. He was probably in a hurry to handle something urgent," Miss Woods said, then

paused and looked at me, saying, "I heard the other day that Cindy isn't Petra and Grayson's

daughter. They previously held a press conference and even a banquet telling the whole world that

she was their daughter. It would be fun to watch them say they had made a mistake now."

I was stunned. "Who did you hear this from?"

If Miss Woods knew about it, would that not mean that many people had learned about it too?

Miss Woods smiled. "I heard a caretaker from another family talking about it when I was at the

market buying groceries."

I pursed my lips and did not ask any more questions.

I was not well these days, so I had asked Jerome to

watch after Munchkin for me first. Now that I planned to go back to Whaldorf City, I needed to go

and pick Munchkin up.

After eating, I simply packed some clothes and drove t o Jerome and Xander's place.

When I arrived, Jerome was cooking in the kitchen and Xander was holding Munchkin. When he

saw me, he twitched his mouth. "What kind of mother are you? I thought you had disappeared."

I felt a little apologetic and said, "I went to France and just came back last night. How's Munchkin

doing these few days? Has he been behaving?"

He nodded. Seeing Munchkin reaching out for me to hold him, he handed Munchkin to me and said,

"This little buddy doesn’t really want infant formula anymore ever since he started drinking breast

milk."

I held Munchkin and indeed, he felt somewhat lighter now. I sat on the couch, looked at Jerome,

and noticed how serious he was at cooking. I asked, "Do you plan t o go back to Whaldorf City?"

He frowned. "Are you going back to Whaldorf City?"

I nodded. "Many of the company's artists are waiting for me to make work arrangements for them. I

have to go back."

He looked at Munchkin and asked, "Are you planning t o take Munchkin to Whaldorf City too?

I nodded.

Jerome fell silent and unconsciously looked at Xander, asking, "Do you want to go to Whaldorf

City?"

Xander stopped what he was doing and turned around to say, "My career is in Salt City."

Jerome pursed his lips. "You can quit your job in Zimmer Corporations now. Salt City Grant

Corporation is basically being run by outsiders now and as the young lady of the Grants, it's only

right for you to manage Grant Corporation."

I pursed my lips and subconsciously wanted to refuse. He continued, "Theo has big ambitions, but

Salt City is Grant Corporation's origin and foundation. Running the company yourself is always

better than leaving it t o outsiders."

I fell silent for a while, then mulled it over and said, "I left Grant Corporation because of a mistake. If

I want t o go back now, I'll have to show results. I previously made a bet with the senior executives

in Zimmer Corporations, so it'll be inappropriate to leave when w e haven’t even attained the

expected returns yet."

Jerome frowned. "What do you plan to do, then?"

"Wait until the company achieves the expected returns."

After a pause, I continued, "I met Matthew in France."

Munchkin was probably hungry as he kept reaching out to tug at my shirt.

Jerome's expression sank. "Marcus Zimmer's only

son, Matthew Zimmer?"

I nodded.

Xander was puzzled. "Didn't he die in a car accident?"
