Chapter 1607: Chapter 1606: The Murderer

"Stop thinking so much." That was the man’s answer. "We’ll have children again in the future. Right now you can only lie down and focus on recuperating, understood?"

The woman in his arms looked at him for a long moment, then nodded. "Mm."

The next day, a call came from Prosperity Hotel. Because Edward White had ordered them to investigate—and if they couldn’t find anything, heads would roll—no one dared slack off. ℯ

"How’s the investigation going?" The man held the phone, his whole body radiating a terrifying, icy chill.

"Reporting to Eldest Young Master, we went through Prosperity Hotel’s surveillance again, frame by frame, and screened out a few very suspicious individuals. We’ve already compiled them into a file and sent it to you..."

The person on the other end reported the situation, extremely cautious.

Edward White’s expression was very dark. "Got it. Arrange the schedule, I’ll go over personally."

"Yes, sir."

·······

Half an hour later.

Edward White arrived at Prosperity Hotel.

"President, we’re here." The bodyguard carefully pulled open the car door.

"Right, Eldest Young Master, Madam just called earlier."

Edward White’s face didn’t look good. Ella’s pregnancy had already been found out by his parents, but now...

"Please rest assured, Eldest Young Master, Miss’s accident—Madam and Sir still don’t know. We’ve been keeping it from them." They just didn’t know how long they could keep it hidden!

Edward White finally spoke. "Keep hiding it. Also, say that I’ve been tied up at the company negotiating deals lately and it’s inconvenient for me to return to M Country." Naturally it also wasn’t convenient for him to take calls.

That was all he could say. He didn’t want... before he’d even handled this matter properly, to...

The day before, after visiting Ella, Eva Nightingale was driven back to Lanwan Yayuan.

Lucas Knight didn’t come home the whole night. Aunt Fang said someone had called to say he was at the Presidential Mansion and wouldn’t be back that night.

Probably busy overnight with state affairs?

Eva Nightingale didn’t call; she knew how busy he was.

·····

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Edward White had been personally digging into the reason why Ella had had the accident that night, and in the end, all the clues pointed straight at Amelia Grant.

Although they couldn’t fully reconstruct the scene or play it out as a video clip, Edward White had accidentally received an audio recording, and a short video.

The recording: "Miss Diana Cloud, your Cloud Corporation is in trouble. Working with me to save Cloud Corporation—what a great opportunity. You really are a smart woman!" Amelia Grant chuckled and went on, "As far as I know, you’ve already set your sights on that man. Women have to be ruthless to hold their ground. As long as you get rid of her, you can marry into a top-tier power family in broad daylight. Our Grant Group will also help your Cloud Company weather the economic crisis."

The voice had already been forensically authenticated; it wasn’t some PS composite. It was indeed Amelia Grant’s voice!

In the secret documents he received, there was also a video clip.

Under the rustling veil of night, a black car was parked, with Amelia Grant and Diana Cloud inside, talking about God knows what.

From that day on.

The Grant Group’s shares had been continuously plummeting.

Because the Grant Family’s business empire was huge, the companies were split up.

Amelia Grant’s father, Damian Grant’s holdings had been shrinking nonstop, stocks evaporating into thin air...

In addition, Edward White dialed straight to the M Country headquarters. "Go to Columbia University and send me all of Amelia Grant’s files."
