Chapter 618
All the major companies" holidays had ended. | received many texts from the company askingwhen | would
return to Whaldorf City as there were many artists waiting for my arrangements.
| thought about it and planned to go back in two days.
"What tdid Theo go out this morning, Miss Woods?" | asked when Miss Woods cin 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."
| 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 | was at the market buying
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgroceries."
| pursed my lips and did not ask any more questions.
| was not well these days, so | had asked Jerto
watch after Munchkin forfirst. Now that I planned to go back to Whaldorf City, | needed to go and pick
Munchkin up.
After eating, | simply packed sclothes and drove t o Jerand Xander's place.
When | arrived, Jerwas cooking in the kitchen and Xander was holding Munchkin. When he saw me, he
twitched his mouth. "What kind of mother are you? | thought you had disappeared."
| felt a little apologetic and said, "I went to France and just cback last night. How's Munchkin doing these
few days? Has he been behaving?"
He nodded. Seeing Munchkin reaching out forto hold him, he handed Munchkin toand said, "This little
buddy doesn’t really want infant formula anymore ever since he started drinking breast milk."
| held Munchkin and indeed, he felt somewhat lighter now. | sat on the couch, looked at Jerome, and noticed how
serious he was at cooking. | asked, "Do you plan t o go back to Whaldorf City?"
He frowned. "Are you going back to Whaldorf City?"
| nodded. "Many of the company's artists are waiting forto make work arrangements for them. | have to go
back."
He looked at Munchkin and asked, "Are you planning t o take Munchkin to Whaldorf City too?
I nodded.
Jerfell 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."
Jerpursed 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."
| 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmoutsiders."
| fell silent for a while, then mulled it over and said, "I left Grant Corporation because of a mistake. If | want t o
go back now, I'll have to show results. | 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."
Jerfrowned. "What do you plan to do, then?"
"Wait until the company achieves the expected returns."
After a pause, | 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?"
