Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Checking the Surveillance

No matter which side she took, Florence Morgan was unhappy; it was like trying to choose between the palm and the back of her hand.

But she couldn’t just stand aside and let their relationship develop however it may!

There was nothing she could do. She felt utterly helpless and powerless.

She was even starting to regret it. ’Why did I have to insist on Evelyn Grant marrying into the Sterling Family! If I hadn’t, there wouldn’t be all these problems now.’

Now, caught in the middle, she was the one suffering the most.

"Dad, you’re not well. You just need to focus on getting some rest. As for my own affairs, I know what I’m doing. I know what should and shouldn’t be done."

Seeing his father in this state, Ryan Sterling knew he had to say something reassuring to ease his mind.

"Yes, alright."

Ryan Sterling sat by his father’s side, watching over him.

Once his father had fallen asleep again, Ryan returned to his seat and took out his phone to handle some work.

’He definitely wasn’t getting any sleep, so he might as well not waste the time.’

The moment he connected to the internet, Ryan Sterling saw a message from his secretary.

He was worried about Evelyn Grant, so even though he had left the country, he’d had his secretary stay behind to keep a constant watch on her.

Mr. Sterling, Miss Grant seems to want to be discharged. I saw her brother asking the doctor about the discharge procedures.

’Discharged?’

"I thought she’d given up on that idea. Why does she suddenly want to be discharged again?" With his parents nearby, Ryan Sterling couldn’t call, so he texted back.

I’m not clear on that yet. I’m already pulling the security footage from outside Miss Grant’s room to see if someone visited and influenced her decision.

Ryan Sterling pursed his lips, his long fingers flying across the phone screen.

Okay, tell me as soon as you have any news.

Okay! So, should I approve Miss Grant’s discharge?

He lowered his gaze, thought for a moment, then replied, "If she really doesn’t want to stay in the hospital, just let her be discharged."

’In any case, it won’t be long after Evelyn Grant is discharged that she’ll have to return to the law firm.’

’Still within the range of my surveillance.’

...

On her last night in the hospital, Evelyn Grant didn’t stop working.

It was already past ten at night, but she was logged into the law firm’s portal, conducting research.

A moment later, Mr. Shaw sent her a direct message.

"Ms. Grant, still not resting?"

Evelyn Grant finished reading the last of the document on her computer before replying, "I spoke with our client today. He provided some new evidence, and I need to quickly incorporate it and prepare it for submission to the court."

The materials provided by a client usually can’t be submitted directly.

At the very least, the lawyer needs to draft a brief to help the judge understand the evidence more easily, which is crucial for a favorable judgment.

This was especially true for Evelyn Grant.

She was meticulous about these matters. She made sure everything was clearly annotated, leaving no room for omissions, especially regarding points that would benefit her client.

"I see the court date is still a week away. There’s no need to rush! You need to rest up. You can’t handle a case properly if you aren’t in good health!"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shaw, but I can’t possibly sleep until I’ve finished this. Besides, aren’t you working late too?"

’Otherwise, how would he know she was still working at this hour?’

Evelyn Grant guessed that Mr. Shaw must have seen her online status on the firm’s software.
