CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 190: NO WAY OUT

He is not someone who fears death. Even when facing life and death, he remains unafraid. But why does the thought of never seeing her again terrify him?

"Yeah, right, I shouldn’t have said such silly things." Mabel Quinn replied, feeling Kyle Kinston holding her tighter and tighter. "Kyle, loosen up a bit, you’re holding me too tight."

But it was as if he didn’t hear her, still holding her so tightly, as if only by holding her like this could he suppress his own trembling.

"At any time, you must not think of dying, you know?" Kyle Kinston said in a deep voice.

"I... I know." she replied, his embrace so tight, yet so cold...

Joseph Grant was suddenly taken away, said to be for investigation. This undoubtedly caused quite a stir at the Corporation where Joseph Grant was working, as he had been by the boss’s side for so many years. If he had risen any further, he might have been sent abroad to serve as the president of a branch office.

But who could have thought that an investigation would be launched just like that.

They even separately summoned Lyra Grant and Ella Gilbert for questioning. For a time, no one dared to associate with the Grant Family, fearing that any connection might also implicate themselves.

With nowhere else to turn, Ella Gilbert and her daughter could only seek out Joseph Grant’s sister, Camille Grant.

"Sister, I really had no choice but to come to you. Now that Joseph is taken for investigation and we can’t even see him, if they really find something, then... then what will happen to my family in the future?!"

Camille Grant was naturally anxious too. Firstly, Joseph Grant was her only brother, and secondly, she had been with the Quinn Family’s second son, Christopher Quinn, for so many years, and had a son and a daughter, yet she was still an outsider. She had been fighting with Christopher’s legitimate wife, Winifred Wright, all these years. Now that it’s almost time to choose a family heir, her brother would have been a big help. If something really happened to him, it would not be a help but a hindrance.

But before her sister-in-law came, she had already mentioned the matter to Christopher Quinn. However, Christopher directly warned her not to get involved and to clear relations with her brother, "No one can save him now; the investigation order came directly from above. Your brother has been embezzling for years, how can anyone protect him!"

But of course, Camille Grant couldn’t say these things directly to Ella Gilbert, so she only said, "I’ll think of a way, you should also think if there’s anyone else who can help."

Lyra Grant suddenly said, "Aunt, why did the authorities suddenly start investigating my dad?"

Camille Grant said, "Think about whether your dad has offended anyone recently."

Suddenly, Lyra Grant’s face changed. If there was indeed someone offended, it wasn’t by her dad, but by her and her mother against Kyle Kinston!

At work, Lyra Grant cornered Mabel Quinn in the restroom.

"Mabel Quinn, you’re so despicable. If you have the guts, come at me directly. Why did you have to sabotage my dad?!" Lyra Grant said through gritted teeth.

Mabel Quinn found it amusing, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Stop pretending. If you hadn’t tattled to Kyle Kinston, would my dad be under investigation now?" Lyra Grant said.
