Chapter 728


    Chapter 728 Is She Really A Homewrecker


    Rayna had thought the information she found could be a breakthrough, but it turned out to be a dead-


    end. She let out a sigh before refocusing on the webpage from earlier.


    Most of the information on the webpage was about Zeller Group, with little detail on Andrew.


    Rayna tried to search for more information on Andrew but found very little.


    She clicked through each link, but they all had simr information.


    The only thing that stood out was that Andrew got married in 1969, but the background of his spouse


    was unknown. Even this information was only contained within a line or two.


    After that, Zeller Group was established, and there was a brief introduction to Hayley Lewis.


    Looking at Hayley''s photo on the webpage, Rayna frowned slightly. “Is this beautiful woman really a


    homewrecker?”


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    ncing back at the photo of Hayley on the blog, Rayna couldn''t help but think that this woman was


    truly beautiful.


    Her gentleness was especially apparent in a picture where she watered a sea of blooms. There, she


    seemed to radiate an indescribable air of elegance.


    With such a woman as his secretary, the chairman of apany might just find himself smitten.


    Rayna scrolled down the page and read everything below, and when she reached thest page, a


    photo caught her attention.


    In the photo, Hayley was standing at the entrance of Zeller Group, but in the lower left corner was a


    woman in a blue dress whose gaze was fixed on Hayley. Since the two were not too close in the photo,


    Rayna couldn''t see the woman''s expression clearly, but she noticed the ring on the woman''s finger.


    A ring...


    Rayna quickly returned to the previous page and saw a photo of Andrew''s interview. The man was also


    wearing a ring on his ring finger.


    “Wedding ring,” Rayna instinctively said softly. Curtis, who had just walked out of the bathroom,


    happened to hear these two words that she said. He swiftly looked down at his ring finger.


    When he saw that the wedding ring was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    Drying his hair with a towel, Curtis walked over to Rayna and saw her staring at the photo on the


    computer screen. “Did you find something?” he asked.


    “Yeah, I found something again.” Rayna erged the photo and showed it to Curtis. “Do you think that


    the ring on this woman''s hand is a pair with the one on Andrew''s hand?”


    Curtis put down the towel and bent over to examine the photo on the screen. “It looks a bit simr, but


    the one in this photo is too far away. I''ll have someone zoom in on itter to see if we can get a closer


    look at this person.”


    “Okay.” Rayna nodded and showed Curtis the ount that had been deactivated. “Could you also


    have someone look up the information on this ount before it was deactivated?”


    Curtis nced at the ID and nodded. “I''ll take care of it. You go take a shower.”


    Hugging Curtis around the neck, Rayna nted a kiss on his cheek and then got up from the couch to


    go to the bathroom after taking the sleepwear on the bed.


    Curtis put down the towel and sat on the sofa to peruse the webpage that Rayna had looked at. He


    also instructed Theodore in Norwal City to follow up on the two things Rayna had mentioned.


    Then, he continued to look at the information on the webpage.


    ...


    The next day, Rayna was awakened by the sound of a phone ringing at the crack of dawn.


    She opened her eyes groggily and saw that Curtis had already gotten up and was holding his phone,


    seemingly ready to answer the call.


    Seeing her wake up, he whispered, “Sorry to wake you up. I''m going out to take the call. You can go


    back to sleep.”


    Rayna rubbed her eyes and looked at the time. It was not yet five in the morning. “Who''s calling?”


    “It''s J and the others,” Curtis replied softly, leaning over to give her a kiss on the forehead. “I''ll take the


    call outside. You go back to sleep.”


    With that, Curtis walked out of the bedroom to answer the phone call.


    Rayna watched Curtis'' departing figure and closed her eyes before slowly opening them. She sat up in


    bed and listened carefully to the faint voicesing from the living room.


    “What''s the situation now?” Curtis asked J on the other end of the phone.


    “The situation you messaged me about yesterday has been confirmed. Like you told Rayna, almost half


    of the people in this town have an unknown hormone in their systems, and it''s in excess,” J said on the


    phone while looking at the test report in hand. “We also tested the well water near Ashley, and there is


    an unknown organism in the water that is the same as the one Vance isted from the Serekos.”


    “In the well water?” Curtis was puzzled. “Can that thing survive in water?”


    “Yeah, it seems so. But the organisms in the well water are a bit different from the ones isted from


    the Serekos. Maybe it''s because of the water temperature or something that causes them to not grow


    normally,” J exined. “We also dissected those white things and found out they''re harmless, but they


    contain the same hormone as the people in this town.”


    “Our suspicion is the same as yours. Looks like someone''s been conducting some shady research and


    doing human experiments,” J continued. “Ashley''s father-inw''s death was probably an ident, but it


    might be rted to the hormone''s effect.”


    “Remember those herbs Vance stole from the Gilroy residence? We studied them and found out their


    genes got messed up,” J added in a low voice.


    Curtis stood frozen in ce upon hearing the news.


    “What kind of herbs did Vance steal? And what happens if we consume them?” he asked, gripping his


    phone tightly.


    “I don''t recognize the herbs, so we need someone who knows more about them to identify them


    properly. But even though the herbs have been gically modified, they don''t have any major side


    effects when consumed by humans as long as they''re not misused. They just have increased potency


    due to the gic modification, that''s all,” J reassured him while ncing at theb report.


    “Are you sure?” Curtis asked, feeling cold sweat forming on his palm as he held onto his phone.


    “Positive. There''s nothing to worry about,” J replied confidently.


    Curtis rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath before asking, “Can you identify the specific herbs


    and tell me if they''remonly avable or rare on the market?”


    “Sure, I''ll look into it.” J agreed beforeforting him, “And as for Rayna''s condition, I believe there''s a


    solution.”


    “Thanks for your kind words,” Curtis said before ending the call.


    He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at his reflection before turning to leave when his phone


    rang again. A nce down showed him it was Theodore calling.


    “Theodore,” he answered.


    “I''ve seen the photo you sent me, and Jasmine recognizes the woman in it. She''s seen that woman


    before,” Theodore informed Curtis, turning to look at Jasmine, who was standing behind him.
