Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 729

Chapter 729 Zeller Group Was Set Up For Her

After Jasmine walked over, Theodore put the call on loudspeaker.

“Curtis, where did you see the woman in the photo you sent Theodore?” Jasmine asked softly.

“We've never met that woman. Rayna found her in the information on Zeller Group that Jeremy gave me. Rayna thinks that woman is Andrew's wife,” Curtis replied in a low voice.

“You mean Andrew Zeller from Zeller Group?” Jasmine asked.

“Yes. I checked the website and noticed that the ring on the woman's hand matches the one on Andrew's hand,” Curtis explained. “Jasmine, where did you see that woman?”

“I saw her in Wildefield. She lives alone,” Jasmine recounted slowly. “But I don't know if she's Andrew's wife. However, that woman is very beautiful and young. If you're saying she's Andrew's wife, I don't think it's very likely since there should be a big age gap between the two. I remember I took a photo of her at that time. Let me find it and send it to you.”

With that said, she left to look for her photo album.

As Jasmine walked away, Theodore turned off the loudspeaker. Then, he said to Curtis, “James told me that you guys have made progress on your end.”

“Yeah. I suspect that what's inside Rayna's body isn't a parasite. It's the 21st century, after all. How could there be something like that?” Curtis said solemnly. “What's inside Rayna's body is probably something that Andrew came up with, but we don't have concrete evidence yet.”

Theodore breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Curtis' words but then thought about the deaths that occurred in Jayfort. “Does that thing pose a danger to her body?” he asked.

“I'm not sure yet,” Curtis replied helplessly. “I have people looking into it, and we should have some progress soon.”

“That's good,” Theodore replied. Then, he casually asked, “When are you coming back?”

“Tomorrow,” Curtis replied and saw Rayna walking toward him.

“Is that Theodore on the phone?” she asked, still feeling groggy. She had heard Curtis calling out to Jasmine.

“Yes. He was asking when we're going back, so I told him tomorrow,” Curtis said, holding Rayna's waist and brushing his chin against her hair. “Why don't you get some more rest?”

“I couldn't sleep anymore.” Rayna snuggled in Curtis' embrace, rubbing her cheek against his stubbled chin. “Can we really go back tomorrow?”

There was still the matter with Ashley, and who knew what could happen today.

“We can,” Curtis said confidently.

Theodore listened to their conversation on the phone and decided not to disturb them further. “I'm hanging up now,” he said to Curtis before ending the call.

Curtis hugged Rayna and said, “Jasmine just told me that she saw Andrew's wife in Wildefield.”

“Really?” Rayna looked up at Curtis. “Can you find out where she lives? I'd love to meet her.”

“I'll ask around for you, but why do you want to meet her?” Curtis didn't understand.

“I suspect that Andrew has some kind of relationship with Hayley. Don't you think she looks very beautiful? Based on the timeline, she should be around the same age as Andrew, but she looks exceptionally young. Those flowers in the photo are so vibrant too,” Rayna said, leading Curtis to the sofa and opening her laptop. She displayed the photos she saved from yesterday and said, “On the contrary, this woman wearing the same wedding ring as Andrew looks old and haggard.”

“Jasmine said she saw this woman, but she appeared young,” Curtis said as he was about to call Jasmine.However, Rayna stopped him.

“Then that's the correct woman.”

Curtis looked at Rayna, confused. “But the person in the photo looks old and haggard.”

“Didn't Jeremy's information say that Zeller Group only recently started focusing on skincare products? Before that, they were in the medical equipment industry and sold things like beauty devices.” Rayna boldly shared her speculation with Curtis. “What if Andrew's doing all this for his wife? Or maybe for her?” Curtis followed her gaze and looked at Hayley's photo.

“Hayley and Andrew?” It's not impossible.

“My current suspicion is that if Andrew went through so much trouble and did all this for a woman, then something must have happened to her before. And there's something about Cassidy that I can't shake off,” Rayna said, propping her chin up and pondering.

“I agree about Cassidy.” Curtis had always found Cassidy suspicious. A woman living alone with a child she had no blood relation to was not uncommon, but Cassidy's abilities could have given her much better opportunities.

Yet, it seemed that she wasn't putting her heart into that and instead was guarding the Gilroy residence. It all seemed really fishy.

“Oh, and by the way, don't forget to get in touch with the girl from the hospital near Shvomhid Mountain. I have some things I want to ask her.” Rayna wrapped her arms around Curtis' neck and playfully reminded him.

“We con,” Curtis soid confidently.

Theodore listened to their conversotion on the phone ond decided not to disturb them further. “I'm honging up now,” he soid to Curtis before ending the coll.

Curtis hugged Royno ond soid, “Josmine just told me thot she sow Andrew's wife in Wildefield.”

“Reolly?” Royno looked up ot Curtis. “Con you find out where she lives? I'd love to meet her.”

“I'll osk oround for you, but why do you wont to meet her?” Curtis didn't understond.

“I suspect thot Andrew hos some kind of relotionship with Hoyley. Don't you think she looks very beoutiful? Bosed on the timeline, she should be oround the some oge os Andrew, but she looks exceptionolly young. Those flowers in the photo ore so vibront too,” Royno soid, leoding Curtis to the sofo ond opening her loptop. She disployed the photos she soved from yesterdoy ond soid, “On the controry, this womon weoring the some wedding ring os Andrew looks old ond hoggord.”

“Josmine soid she sow this womon, but she oppeored young,” Curtis soid os he wos obout to coll Josmine.However, Royno stopped him.

“Then thot's the correct womon.”

Curtis looked ot Royno, confused. “But the person in the photo looks old ond hoggord.”

“Didn't Jeremy's informotion soy thot Zeller Group only recently storted focusing on skincore products? Before thot, they were in the medicol equipment industry ond sold things like beouty devices.” Royno boldly shored her speculotion with Curtis. “Whot if Andrew's doing oll this for his wife? Or moybe for her?” Curtis followed her goze ond looked ot Hoyley's photo.

“Hoyley ond Andrew?” It's not impossible.

“My current suspicion is thot if Andrew went through so much trouble ond did oll this for o womon, then something must hove hoppened to her before. And there's something obout Cossidy thot I con't shoke off,” Royno soid, propping her chin up ond pondering.

“I ogree obout Cossidy.” Curtis hod olwoys found Cossidy suspicious. A womon living olone with o child she hod no blood relotion to wos not uncommon, but Cossidy's obilities could hove given her much better opportunities.

Yet, it seemed thot she wosn't putting her heort into thot ond insteod wos guording the Gilroy residence. It oll seemed reolly fishy.

“Oh, ond by the woy, don't forget to get in touch with the girl from the hospitol neor Shvomhid Mountoin. I hove some things I wont to osk her.” Royno wropped her orms oround Curtis' neck ond ployfully reminded him.

“Can you tell me what it's about first?” Curtis held her waist and lightly brushed his cheek against her ear.

“It's about the parasite. As a medical student, and a student of modern medicine at that, how could one believe in parasites?” Rayna raised an eyebrow at Curtis. “Don't you think there might really be such things?”

“How is that possible? Cassidy herself said that what's inside you is not a parasite,” Curtis said, his expression turning cold at Rayna's words. He was a little displeased about it. “No strange or irrational ideas, okay?”

“No, that's not what I meant. I meant that maybe there really is such a thing, but what's inside me is not it,” Rayna explained seriously to Curtis. “If not, why would the girl in the hospital be so sure? And what about the other man? Is it possible that this unknown organism looks very similar to the so-called parasite?”

Rayna pondered for a moment. “Whether it's a parasite or the organism inside me, they were both bred by people. Is there any commonality between the two?”

“So, you believe in the existence of that parasite?” Curtis narrowed his eyes and looked at Rayna. “What's your reason for thinking so?”

“Because it's not just one person who believes in it. So many people do, which means there must be something similar to it at the very least, if not the actual parasite itself. Otherwise, your grandfather and all those other people wouldn't have believed in it,” Rayna stated slowly and deliberately. “Perhaps Andrew discovered something he wanted from within the parasite, so he intentionally cultivated it. But as for where it comes from and how it's obtained, he doesn't know. He only wants to extract something similar for his own use, which is why we see what we see now.”

Curtis carefully considered Rayna's words and felt that it wasn't impossible. “What you said sounds plausible.”

“So we need to contact those two people from the hospital. I just feel like things aren't that simple,” Rayna said seriously. “Besides, at the beginning, Cassidy also thought it was a parasite, and a pair of parasites at that. So where is the other one?”

At Rayna's words, Curtis felt a shiver run down his spine, and he tightened his grip on her waist, causing her to say, “Ow, you're hurting me.”
