Jane let out a sharp huff, her tone full of irritation.“So you do know how to apologize? I was starting to think you planned to pretend nothing ever happened.”“I’m sorry. You must’ve been really angry.”Liz could completely understand why. If Jane had risked her own health for a man, she would have been furious too.“Forget it. It’s over now,” Jane said, her voice softening a little. “But once you’re back, don’t think I’m letting you off that easily.”“Alright. When I get back, you can yell at me all you want.”Jane paused. “Do I sound like some kind of monster to you?”Liz smiled faintly. “Not at all.”Jane sighed. “Anyway, there’s another reason I called.”“What is it?”“It’s about the truck driver who hit you and William. He suddenly went insane in detention. They’ve transferred him to a psychiatric hospital. He said it happened because he was drunk, but something about it doesn’t sit right with me. You should ask the Sanders family to look into it again.”Liz’s hand ti

Previously, when Henry hurt Liz, Mrs. Sanders Sr. had chosen to turn a blind eye. But this time, Henry’s actions had left William unconscious and in a coma. There was no way she could ever forgive him.After finishing his cigarette, Hunter pushed his thoughts aside, sat back at his desk, and continued working.Less than an hour later, his secretary entered the office with a folder in hand.“Mr. Sanders, it’s confirmed. The few million that ended up in the truck driver’s family account, the one responsible for Mr. William’s crash, did come from Mr. Henry’s account. He disguised it as a three-million-dollar gambling loss, and the money was later transferred several more times through the casino. If we hadn’t looked closely, no one would have connected the two. Considering his motive, everything makes sense.”Hunter took the folder, flipped through the pages, and after reading, said coldly, “Don’t tell anyone about this.”“Yes, sir. Understood.”The secretary lowered his head, his h

“We’ll wait until Thomas has the results,” Mrs. Sanders Sr. said.Hunter didn’t respond. He stayed in the hospital room, quietly waiting for the butler’s call.A little over an hour later, the phone finally rang.“Madam,” the butler reported, “we found the person who poisoned your food. It was Fiona.”Fiona had worked for the Sanders family for over ten years. She was practically part of the household.Mrs. Sanders Sr. took a deep breath. “Did she say who ordered her to do it?”There was a brief silence on the other end. “She said it was Mr. Henry who told her to.”Mrs. Sanders Sr.’s fingers tightened around the phone. “Did she have any proof?”Even now, she refused to give up hope.“She said Mr. Henry sent her messages. She deleted them, but the telecom company can recover the records.”“I understand,” Mrs. Sanders Sr. said coldly. “Take her to the police station and have her repeat everything she told you in front of the officers.”The butler hesitated. “Madam, do we reall

“Where’s Grandma?” Liz asked.“She’s in her room resting,” Mrs. Wood replied.“Alright, I’ll go check on her.”Liz walked to Mrs. Smith Sr.’s bedroom and knocked lightly. When she heard Mrs. Smith Sr.’s voice from inside, she pushed the door open and entered.Seeing her, Mrs. Smith Sr. struggled to sit up. “Liz, you’re back.”Liz hurried forward to support her. “Grandma, if you’re not feeling well, please stay lying down. Don’t get up.”Mrs. Smith Sr. nodded gently. “Alright.”Liz sat beside the bed. “I heard that Dad’s been taken in. What happened?”Mrs. Smith Sr. said slowly, “I heard from the lawyer that there was an accident at one of the construction sites Michael has been overseeing. Three workers were killed, and the workers reported that he had been using substandard building materials. That’s what caused the accident and led to their deaths, so Michael was taken to the police station for investigation.”Liz frowned. “I see. I’ll meet with the lawyer and Dave later to

Liz’s words struck a nerve. The shareholders’ expressions darkened in embarrassment and anger.“Liz, who do you think you are to talk to us like that? Even your father treats us with respect and calls us ‘Director So-and-So.’ Since when did you have the right to boss people around in the Smith Corporation?”Liz raised an eyebrow. “It seems you still don’t understand. I own more than half of the company’s shares. If I don’t count as someone important, then those of you holding less than ten percent certainly don’t count as anything at all.”“You—” one of them sputtered, speechless.Liz waved her hand dismissively. “Dave, please show our shareholders out.”Dave stepped forward, keeping his tone polite. “Director Harris, Director Zimmer, Director Lewis, please leave for now.”Before leaving, Director Harris sneered. “Liz, you’ll regret this.”He snorted coldly and turned away. There was still a long road ahead, and even if Liz held most of the shares, offending the other shareholde
