Grace was truly beyond furious, so much so that she had lost her rationality earlier. She raised her hand and massaged her temples. "Officer, I'm willing to fully cooperate with your investigation."

She had completely neglected Liam over the past month, thinking that as long as he had Sebastian to guide him, nothing serious would happen. She didn't expect him to get into such trouble.

This was a matter best kept from public knowledge, especially now, when Lambert Group was going through a turbulent period. If anyone found out, their stock would plummet.

Grace brushed him off with a few vague words and hung up, but her anxiety only grew. It wasn't until she saw the trending news online that she was fully blown away.
