Chapter 1305
However, Wayne immediately shut down the iPad’s screen and shot a sharp look at Annie. “Why are you showing us
this stuff?”
“I just wanted to ask Did these two families that got wiped out… did they have any connections with Heatherway?”
Annie asked, her face pale with difficulty. “Why would you ask that? Rosalynn shot back.
“What you’ve just seen those completely murdered families, plus a couple more you haven’t seen, they’re all linked
to Heatherway.” Annie said seriously. “So, when I got wind yesterday that two of your own might have been killed in
the same way, I instinctively linked the two.”
“I’m guessing, there might be someone in the Rosso family who loved Heatherway so much that they’re avenging
her like this.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Absolutely not us” Annie said with certainty. “Some of those wiped out were from the Rosso family too! We might
squabble amongst ourselves, but we’d never go for blood”
“Ms. Annie, quit pulling my leg. I know plenty of examples where the Rosso family has gone for each other’s
throats. Like, how did your father snatch the leadership of the Rosso family from his brother?” Rosalynn ruthlessly
called her bluff.
Annie’s face soured. “Fine, I admit I’ve had my suspicions, and I even conducted some secret investigations, trying
to sniff out any rats in the family.”
Annie shook her head. “Everyone’s just doing their thing and minding their own business. No one seemed fishy. But
there’s one person I could never track down.” “Who?” Wayne asked.
“Heatherway’s mother. She divorced Heatherway’s father after the family cut Heatherway loose: I heard she
remarried low–key in Southeast Asia and hasn’t been in touch with Heatherway for years. She didn’t even show up
when Heatherway died.”
Rosalynn studied Annie’s facial expressions as she spoke, finding nothing out of the ordinary.
“So, my hunch was right? It’s inked to Heatherway?”
“Yes. Rosalynn answered directly.
Annie furrowed her brows, her slender figure swaying slightly.
“Who the hell is this mad?!” She cried out in distress. “Heatherway was always kind, except for the mistake she
made with President Silverman. She’d be devastated if she knew so many died because of her!”
“I thought you and Heatherway weren’t exactly chummy.” Wayne said, his demeanor still icy.
“We hadn’t seen each other in decades, and I didn’t know her well, but she was still my sister.”
After a long sigh, Annie looked at Wayne. “President Silverman, now that we have clear photos of the suspects, you
need to find them quickly. We can’t have more blood on our hands.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ms. Annie, you’re looking a little off color. Is your wound bothering you? Do you need me to get someone to take
you to the hospital?” Rosalynn asked with concern.
Annie shook her head. “Finding the criminal is more important. By the way, I heard President Silverman has some
sway in Southeast Asia. Can you help find Heatherway’s mother? I heard she married the head of a powerful
organization there. The way these criminals operate, it could be them.”
“I’ll look into it.” Wayne said. “Until the real culprit is found, it’s best if you stay at the hotel, Ms. Annie. You’ve
already had one brush with death because of your connection to Heatherway.”
Annie looked at Wayne in surprise. “You don’t suspect me, do you, President Silverman?”
Wayne gave a cold smile. “Until I find the real culprit, I’ll suspect every member of the Rosso family.”
Annie looked a bit hurt. “I understand, I’ll do as you suggest. I’ll stay at the hotel until the real culprit is found.”
After that, Annie packed the iPad back into her briefcase, stood up and apologized to Rosalynn. “Looks like we’ll
have to rain check our lunch date again. Once President Silverman has everything sorted out, we can catch up.”
“Sure.” Rosalynn replied.
Annie schlepped her bag and walked out with a gloomy look on her face..
People started to head out one by one.
