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. 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 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.
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?“.
