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 fromst 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. We 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 ced 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. Sheined, 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 particrity 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 whileter, 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 orter. After all, was the one who negotiated Heatherway’s


    wedding with Wayne; I pushed for it… and now that thewyer 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.” Rosalynnforted 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 Luminary 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 rtionship. 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 nced 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.”
