Chapter 1474 Fuller Group Is in Trouble

Expectedly, after Grace found out why Sonia was seeking her out, she immediately provided her with many suggestions. When a person got older, they didn't have as many attachments, and things like expensive jewelry and valuable gifts didn't mean as much to them. After all, there was nothing they hadn't seen or owned at their age, so it wouldn't be a surprise to them no matter how much they had. Old women like Rose in particular were never lacking in these things, and it was never what they wanted either, but a happy and large family instead.

In fact, Sonia didn't have to give Rose any gifts at all—the two children in her belly were the best presents. Of course, as the children weren't born yet, she couldn't just show up empty-handed, but a few presents related to the children would suffice, such as their medical reports and the ultrasounds so that Rose knew they were doing well and how their development was coming along. Grace was certain that Rose would love to receive this as a present.

Sonia smiled, thinking that her words made sense. Hence, she immediately dug out her previous medical reports after hanging up.

When Toby returned, he saw the reports sprawled all over the bed and frowned. "Darling, what are you doing?"

Sonia didn't hide her plans from him and told him after he asked.

Hearing that, Toby chuckled. "Let me give you a hand, then."

"Okay." Sonia pointed at a pile of papers on the other end.

She had regained her vision the day before as cornea transplants didn't have a long recovery period in the first place. After all this time, she had long removed her gauze and was able to see, but she

couldn't overuse her eyes and had to give them plenty of rest.

Toby sat down and sorted out the papers with Sonia, discussing which ones were appropriate gifts as they went.

Meanwhile, Mary was hanging the laundry on the balcony while listening to the couple's conversation with a cheery smile on her face. These days were extremely cozy and peaceful, and it would be great if things were always like this.

However, peace and calm always signaled an incoming storm, and on the day of Rose's birthday, Toby was unable to accompany Sonia back to the old manor. He had planned to do so, but something came up at the company in the morning—a large signboard had fallen down and crushed an employee to death.

This was not a small issue, so Toby had to personally take care of it, and he had no choice but to leave Sonia to return to the old manor alone. Naturally, he was worried about her safety, so he had issued a large number of bodyguards for her before his departure. It was only after he ensured that they were able to escort her to the old manor that he left in relief.

In the car, Toby was reading the news about this matter with a dark expression, the murderous intent that was wafting off him suffocating everyone around him.

"What exactly happened? Why did the signboard fall?" Toby stared at Tom, who was driving, and asked, "Did the safety department conduct their safety checks properly?"

After all, it was their job to thoroughly check all of the equipment, and now that a large signboard had fallen and even crushed someone to death, the biggest responsibility fell on Fuller Group and the safety department.

Having anticipated this question, Tom had questioned them before coming over, and he replied while driving, "President Fuller, this isn't because the safety department didn't do their job. They check the equipment every week, and yesterday was the day of their weekly inspections. There was nothing wrong with the report that the head of the safety department handed in either."

"If there was nothing wrong, tell me why the signboard fell. It fell because the screws were loose!" Clearly unhappy with this answer, Toby demanded, "Do you know how important a single screw is to these things? It's a connector of the signboard, and as long as one screw is loose, the entire signboard will come apart and fall from above. As professionals, don't the safety department know that the most important aspect of safety checks is the connecting screws?"

"They do. Mr. Nelson has also repeatedly guaranteed us that they had checked the screws. He was there that day and personally saw his staff to it that the first thing they checked were the screws. He wasn't lying either; the surveillance footage did show that they checked the screws first," Tom replied.

Toby narrowed his eyes. "So, Mr. Nelson didn't perform the checks himself and made his staff do it?"

"Yes." Tom nodded before explaining, "Hence, the biggest problem lies with the staff member. He probably didn't do a thorough examination."

Toby scoffed. "Other than that, there's another reason—he tampered with the screws on purpose."

Hearing that, Tom nearly stepped on the brakes.

He hurriedly looked at Toby through the rearview mirror. "President Fuller, are you saying that the staff member tampered with the screws deliberately to harm our company?"

"Didn't you see how big this news is getting now?" Toby narrowed his eyes. "Many media outlets have always been afraid of Fuller Group, but the fact that they are fighting to report this case only shows that

someone is controlling them behind the scenes."

"In that case, someone had really planned this. They bribed that staff member and caused this incident on purpose, then instructed the media to report on this matter to ruin the public opinion of our company. After all, now that a life was lost, the public will doubt our facilities, and if we don't handle it properly, we will receive public backlash." Tom's brow furrowed deeply.

After all, most of the public despised the rich. It was fine if they weren't provided any weaknesses to vent their anger on, but once they spotted any cracks, they would not hesitate to team up and attack them.

Besides, humans were social animals, and as long as someone led them, the rest would not bother to look into what had really happened before joining in to attack. Even if Fuller Group was a prominent company, any large corporation would fall if they were boycotted by the entire nation.

If this was the mastermind's plan, they were nothing but heartless for dragging an innocent person's life into this mess.

"Contact Mr. Nelson immediately to see if that staff member is still there. If he is, this matter might be due to his negligence, and we must hand him over to the police. If he isn't, it means that my guess was right and someone had bribed him to do all of this," Toby gripped his phone and instructed in a cold voice.

Tom hummed in assent and stopped the car by the side of the road before hurriedly pulling out his phone to make a call. The call quickly went through, and he hastily inquired about the staff member's whereabouts. However, he received a reply that made him curse under his breath with a dark expression.

Then, he set his phone down and turned around to look at the man in the back seat with a guilty expression. "President Fuller, you were right. That staff member isn't around anymore. He immediately

resigned after the safety check yesterday. Mr. Nelson said he'd sent someone to look for the staff member and ask him why he didn't find any problems yesterday, but the staff member is…"

"Dead?" Toby drummed his knee with his fingers. His tone was impassive and unhurried, void of any emotion.

Tom nodded. "Yes. The person who was sent by Mr. Nelson said that the staff member wouldn't open the door no matter how much they knocked, and his neighbors also said that he hadn't left the house after returning. Mr. Nelson's lackey thought he was feeling guilty and immediately kicked the door open. But the moment they entered, they saw him lying on the floor and he wasn't breathing."
