Chapter 161
Ever since Grace woke up in the hospital bed, she always thought Ethan had been a decent person to her.
She pinched the skin between her brows, trying to piece the puzzle together, but no avail. Eventually, she decided to stop dwelling on it and planned to look up the name “Taylor Boyd” first thing in the morning.
The next morning, Grace ran into Selene as she was about to head out. Considering that Selene had a strong influence in her field, Grace asked her about Taylor, hoping Selene might have some insights.
Selene had a wide network of connections and said she would ask her friends about Taylor.
Half an hour later, Grace finally received some information about Taylor, and what she learned shocked her.
It turned out that Taylor was the son of Alice’s foster parents! So, was he the so- called mentally ill son?
Since he wasn’t some huge celebrity, his information was quite limited. It only stated that Taylor once fell into a coma six years ago.
The question was, when did Grace meet Taylor? Why did she spend a fortune keeping him in the hospital?
She took another look at the information on his parents again. His father was Randy Boyd, and his mother was Maria Vickham.
Randy was charged with rape and intentional homicide and was sentenced to 20 years in prison five years ago. Meanwhile, Maria spent the following years trying
to appeal on his behalf but couldn’t find any evidence to prove it.
In the end, she became mentally unstable, and her current whereabouts were unknown.
A criminal foster father, a psychologically challenged brother, and a mentally unstable foster mother-on the surface, Alice certainly seemed like someone to be pitied.
But something about this was mind-boggling. Randy committed his crimes five years ago, the same year Alice returned to the Lamberts. Meanwhile, Taylor fell into a coma six years ago.
No one knew exactly what had happened.
Grace felt like her head was about to explode from overthinking, yet she was getting nowhere.
Right now, she really wished she could remember something-anything at all.
When she reached the company’s top floor, she ran into Tim. He handed her a document and gave her an address. “Riverheart Bistro,” he said.
“What?”
“Deliver this document to Mr. Henderson.”
“Wait, Mr. Henderson isn’t in his office this morning?”
Tim glanced at her and said sarcastically, “He worked overtime all night and is having a meeting with the CEO of Jensen Group
today The two companies ar net
currently working on a collaboration, so they’re having breakfast there.”
Grace was aware that Tim wasn’t fond of her, so she didn’t bother asking any further questions. She simply took the document and headed to the bistro.
Riverheart Bistro was well known for its breakfast food, especially its light and easily digestible options.
She asked around until she found the private dining room that Ethan was in. She could hear another man’s voice from inside before entering.
“This proposal doesn’t seem feasible. The one you initially selected was submitted when my sister was still at the company. She was the only one who knew the follow-up plans.
“Now that she’s no longer here, I have no idea who placed this proposal in this document folder. This must have been a mistake.”
It was Damien’s voice.
Just as Grace pushed the door open a crack, she suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder. She turned to look and was surprised to see Selene behind her.
She didn’t expect to see Selene here. “Selene? Why are you here as well?”
The moment Selene’s name was mentioned, a loud crash rang out as a cup fell to the ground from inside the private dining room.
