Limited Time Marriage: Nice to Meet You Mr. Foster
Chapter 146 - 145: Shocking
South Grant listened to Nathan Foster’s words, his brows furrowed even deeper, vaguely guessing what had happened to Zoe Jarvis.
However, he found it hard to believe.
When his father was around, the entire company’s atmosphere was excellent.
The so-called unspoken rules and fights for resources that appeared in other companies in the circle never occurred at Stellaris.
Could it be that Henry Grant did something to Zoe Jarvis?
Something that made Zoe unable to bear the torment, leading her to suicide?
But the two of them were almost publicly in a relationship at that time. Even if they had a relationship, it should have been consensual. Why did it end in suicide?
When South Grant wanted to continue questioning Nathan, he heard Nathan say:
"After your father’s death, Stellaris started going downhill. It only began to slightly recover three years ago under Miles Grant. Do you know what methods you used to bring Stellaris back to life?"
South thought, indeed, Stellaris had improved so much in these three years compared to before.
Back then, his father had elevated Stellaris to a high status, making it a leader in the entertainment industry.
But in the years after his death, new entertainment companies, along with those burgeoning studios, grabbed a lot of traffic.
Stellaris truly was on a downward path, and it was only from three years ago that Miles began leading Stellaris out of the slump, now still maintaining its position as an entertainment industry leader.
South knew Miles had some methods.
But what exactly he did was something South didn’t know.
"You know?" She asked Nathan.
"This matter actually starts with Zoe Jarvis. Zoe’s will clearly states that Henry Grant confessed to her at the International Club on her birthday. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
After having two drinks, she became disoriented and weak. She was fully aware of everything that happened after, but powerless to resist.
Henry Grant gave her to a media mogul. It was her first time, and also her entry into hell.
Everything that night was recorded by Henry Grant, as leverage against the mogul and a bargaining chip to threaten Zoe Jarvis.
Afterward, any movie investments by Grant Group always got fast-tracked in approvals because the leverage over the mogul was in Henry Grant’s hands.
As for Zoe, that was just the beginning, not the end. Over a year, she became Henry Grant’s tool, constantly being given as a ’gift’ to many people.
The most humiliating thing for her was her father being hospitalized while she was unable to be by his side. She was sent to entertain those people, and when they proposed she dance on the table, she was put on the table under their lecherous gazes.
After that night, she couldn’t even walk, carried back by her assistant to her place.
In two years, she had multiple miscarriages. The doctor said another might mean she’d never be able to be a mother, and in that year, such incidents happened frequently. Perhaps due to this despair, she felt unable to escape Henry Grant’s grasp and disappeared for half a year.
But in the end, Henry Grant found her. That night, as a lesson for Zoe, he gave her to two extremely perverse men, a father and son.
By then, she was already five months pregnant, and after that night, the fully-formed child was forcibly expelled from her womb.
Zoe Jarvis’s will clearly described how the child’s limbs and features had already formed, a small, bloody mass in a pool of blood, a scene that filled her with despair.
She detailed the identities and positions of those people, along with their standings in the circle. She remembered every one of them to her core.
If that will were exposed, the extent of the people implicated would be vast, including influential figures in the film industry and causing political unrest."
South Grant was stunned by Nathan Foster’s words.
