However, shortly after that, Hayley’s assistant returned with a grave
expression. “Miss Stone, Philip Grayson is in trouble.”
As soon as Hayley heard that, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she
immediately questioned, “What happened to him?”
She also stood up abruptly from her seat and turned to look at her personal
assistant impatiently.
Her personal assistant did not keep anything from her, and she told her
everything that she had found out. “For some reason, last night there was
a squad of policemen that turned up at the bar, and not only was Philip
Grayson taken into custody, the bar was also sealed off.”
Instantly, Hayley’s expression took a turn for the worse, and there was a
look of fright that flashed across her eyes. Philip Grayson’s in custody, and
the bar’s sealed off too. Could it be related to the job I gave him yesterday?
With this in mind, she couldn’t help questioning her assistant, “Did you find
out the exact reason why they were taken into custody?”
“I asked the people working nearby, but none of them knew the exact
details.” Her assistant responded frankly.
At that point, Hayley’s heart thudded frantically, and there was a tremor in
her voice as she spoke, “Could it be because of us?”
Her assistant was also aware of the deal she had with Philip.
She considered the situation for a moment before shaking her head. “I don’t
think that it’s related to us. If it was, the police would have come after us by
now.”
Hayley thought about it and found that her assistant’s words made sense, so
she finally felt slightly at ease. However, she was still somewhat apprehensive.
As soon as her assistant noticed that, she advised, “Miss Hayley, perhaps Philip
Grayson committed some offense, so you shouldn’t take this to heart and let it
get to you.”
At that moment, she also wished that this was merely her imagination running
wild as she listened to her assistant’s words.
She waved to gesture for her assistant to leave the room and sal in her office
silently for a moment before continuing to handle her work.
Later in the day, Hayley brought her assistant to attend the weekly company
meeting.
During the meeting, Nero announced with a grave expression, “The
collaboration project that we submitted to Sawyer Group previously was
rejected by them. Furthermore, they’ve identified multiple issues with our
proposal.”
Hayley’s heart sank upon hearing that. Meanwhile, all of the upper management
level staff turned to glance in her direction because she was the one in charge
of the project.
Nero continued, “Miss Stone, I hope that you can resolve the issues pointed out
by Sawyer Group as soon as possible.”
“Yes, sir.” Hayley nodded her head to indicate that she agreed. However, she
couldn’t seem to shake off the uneasy feeling in her mind.
Half an hour later, after the meeting ended, Nero sent for Hayley to see him in
his office.
“What’s going on with the project? Why are there so many issues all of a
sudden? Did you check and ensure everything was completed properly back
then?”
Meanwhile, Hayley responded seriously when faced with her father’s
interrogation, “I double-checked and made sure that everything was completed
flawlessly when we handed over the proposal. There was nothing wrong with it
then.”
As soon as Nero heard that, he frowned while maintaining his silence.
Hayley noticed that, and she couldn’t help questioning him, “Besides this, did
Sawyer Group mention anything else?”
“They didn’t bring up anything else.” Nero comprehended her words, but he
shook his head at her.
This caused her to start biting at her lower lip in anxiety.
As for Nero, he was engrossed in his thoughts too. Since Hayley had mentioned
that she had doublechecked the proposal, there could only be one reason for
the rejection.
“It looks like Nicholas is still quite mindful of what you did in the past, so he
purposely rejected our proposal.”
At that point, Hayley’s face paled slightly. “How did Nicholas find out?”
“Since Remus is aware of this, then Nicholas would definitely know about it!
Besides, I have a strong
suspicion that Nicholas was the one who revealed this to Remus .”
Nero glowered as he spoke, “Perhaps Nicholas kept a low profile and didn’t take
any action back then because Remus was quite unwell at that point. Think
about it, though. Weren’t you stopped from entering the house each time you
visited Remus during that period?”
She tried to recall and seemed to realize that Nero’s words were entirely
accurate. At that moment, she felt a cold chill run down her spine. No wonder
Nicholas behaved increasingly cold and distant toward me during that period.
So, she immediately panicked. “Dad, so what should we do now?”
“Right now, you must go and gain Remus’ forgiveness. You have to do so not
only for the sake of our company but also to maintain our family ties with the
Sawyers.”
Nero instructed her with a grave expression on his face. “You have to visit
Remus frequently during this period when you have the free time. Isn’t he about
to be discharged from the hospital within two days? So, go over there to help
out.”
