Chapter 706: 706: Your Mother is in Trouble

Daniel Marshall furrowed his brows, a streak of sharpness flitting over his handsome and impassive face.

Then, he threw several photos in front of Grace Ziegler, “How do you explain this?”

Grace’s body went stiff, her trembling hand reaching for the photos.

She was taken aback and stared at Chief Daniel Marshall with widened eyes, “After my meeting with a client yesterday afternoon, she suddenly asked me to play golf with her. Seeing that I had no other matters to attend to and that she was alone, I decided to accompany her since my shift was over.”

Grace had never thought that she had been under surveillance and that the information even reached the president.

Even though she might be a bit scheming, she didn’t do anything wrong. In fact, she didn’t even know what was happening or where she went wrong.

Neither did she know who would want to harm her.

But last night, while having dinner with Lily, she was very friendly. Grace couldn’t figure out how someone she just met could harm her, and what benefits they would get from it.

She was just a small employee at Marshall Corporation, she wasn’t a threat!

How did it come to involve her?

Grace was surprised and looked at Chief Daniel Marshall with an innocent and pitiable expression.

Unconsciously, tears started to gather in her eyes. She felt wronged and on the verge of crying.

“Chief Daniel, I only know her as Lily. I don’t know anything else, I really don’t. From now on, I won’t rashly socialize with others.” As she spoke, Grace lowered her head, forcing a couple of tears to collect in her eyelids.

Daniel opened his thin lips, his voice being indifferent and cold, “She is Lily Lee, the CEO of Tyson Capital. Initially, the Marshall Corporation had reached a preliminary acquisition agreement with the Prosperity Square Technology and had officially entered the negotiation stage. However, due to the involvement of Tyson Capital, the acquisition case of Prosperity Square is likely to be terminated.”

Grace burst into tears, shaking her head, “I’m sorry, I was too naive. I really didn’t know anything, and I didn’t speak nonsense. Every day, I work really hard. Chief Daniel, everything I said is true. If you don’t believe me, I’ll resign.”

Daniel’s deep eyes were enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

From Grace’s reaction, he concluded that she and Lily Lee only knew each other and were not colluding.

Daniel was also puzzled. Lily had just arrived in Serene City, so why did she approach Grace?

What was her purpose in seeking out Grace?

What could a little employee who had no chance to access to Marshall Corporation’s core secrets help her with?

What value could Grace have to her?

Could it really just be a coincidence?

Immersed in thought, Daniel was about to speak and transfer Grace to another city, but suddenly, Grace’s phone rang, immediately interrupting his thoughts.

Caught off guard, Grace quickly silenced the phone, careful not to alarm Chief Daniel, “I’m sorry, I’ll turn it off right away.”

“No need, answer the call.”

“It’s not important. It’s just my neighbour.”

Just as Grace was about to turn off her phone, it rang again. Once again, it was a call from her neighbour.

Daniel Marshall’s brow furrowed, his voice stern, “Answer the call!”

Startled for a moment, Grace reflexively answered the phone.

Victoria on the other end sounded extremely anxious. Her voice was so loud that Daniel could faintly hear it.

“Grace, something terrible has happened. Quickly come home. Your mother is in trouble.”

Like a bolt from the blue, Grace felt bewildered. Tears swiftly gathered in her eyes, her small face turned pale, “Victoria, please elaborate, what happened to my mother?”
