Chapter 1314
Robert was done with concerns and fears; he was set on seeking out Wayne.
All the trouble started with Wayne, so he had to be the one to pay and the one that Robert had to deal with
personally!
Robert clenched the brooch in his hand; the sharp end pierced his palm, but he seemed to feel no pain, letting the
blood ooze out between his fingers.
Before Wayne and Rosalynn could locate Robert, trouble hit Annie.
“One of the assassins from last night almost broke into Ms. Annie’s room. Luckily, you instructed us not to let
anyone see her without your permission.” A security guard reported.
Rushing over, Rosalynn was filled in on the previous night’s incident. “The guy disguised himself as a hotel cleaner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe weren’t too suspicious until this morning. Ms. Annie noticed something off about her breakfast and we found
that her food contained potent poison. If Ms. Annie wasn’t so alert, she could have been in great danger.”
Before going to see Annie, Rosalynn checked out the breakfast.
“How did she notice the breakfast was off?” Rosalynn asked.
“Ms. Annie mentioned that normally, her eggs should be placed on top of the avocado mash, which is the correct
way. Her assistant had made it clear to the head chef when she checked in, and there hadn’t been any issues until
how. She complained, but the chef insisted that the eggs were on the avocado. Something didn’t sit right with me,
so I ran a toxicology test”
“Hmm.” Rosalynn nodded.
She had heard about Ms. Annie’s particularity about food, and it turned out to have saved her life.
“Ms. Annie seems to be quite shaken.” The guard continued.
“I’ll go see her.”
A while later, Rosalynn entered Annie’s presidential suite, finding her huddled in the corner of the couch.
“You’re here…” Annie looked up at Rosalynn, her gaze a little vacant..
“Ms. Annie, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check–up?” Rosalynn asked gently.
Annie looked at her. “I knew it! The Grim Reaper’s scythe was just hanging over my head. I couldn’t see it, but it
was bound to fall sooner or later. After all, was the one who negotiated Heatherway’s wedding with Wayne; I
pushed for it… and now that the lawyer who drafted the marriage agreement has been killed, why would he spare
me?“.
“We’ve got some leads on the real culprit; it should be resolved soon.” Rosalynn comforted her.
“Leads? What kind of leads?” Annie asked.
Rosalynn hesitated but decided to be honest. “The two assassins seen were loyal subordinates of Robert from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuminary Enterprises.
“Robert?” Annie seemed very confused. “The Rosso family and the Magnús family have been fierce competitors for
the past century, and we don’t have a good relationship. What does he have to do with Heatherway? Why would he
do these things?”
Rosalynn watched Annie, trying to glean something from her expression.
“Heatherway and Robert attended the same school.” Rosalynn paused, “As for his legs, it’s said that it was because
Luminary Enterprises snatched a deal from the Rosso family, who retaliated by having Robert disabled. Were you
not aware of such a major event, Ms. Annie?”
A look of realization crossed Annie’s face. She glanced at the clock behind Rosalynn and gave a small smile. “Now
that you mention it, I do remember that Robert and Heatherway were schoolmates and close friends. It’s a shame
if they weren’t caught up in family disputes, they might have remained close. Then she wouldn’t have developed
unrealistic fantasies about Wayne and caused all this trouble.”
