Chapter 1316
Wayne rushed to Annie’s room in panic, by which time the security staff had already figured out the reason behind Rosalynn’s disappearance. The room was connected to
the one downstairs.
Wayne found Rosalynn’s pearl earring in the suite downstairs, but what happened next shocked him even more.
“Aren’t you guys checking the CCTV?” Wayne looked at the security guards, his sanity hanging by a thread.
The security guards were sweating buckets. “Mr. Silverman, all the CCTV in the hotel is out of order.”
“Out of order? When did it break? You’re supposed to be watching over Annie, and you didn’t even know the CCTV was broken?” Wayne was seething with anger. “No, the CCTV here was overwritten with footage from another time period. So, when we checked the CCTV, there were images, but they weren’t live….” The security guard felt like he was about to suffocate.
Wayne wouldn’t have been this terrified if it was just Annie that had disappeared.
But now, his wife was missing too!!!
When Rosalynn woke up, her back and waist hurt so much she couldn’t straighten up.
“You awake?”
Annie’s voice, cold and detached, echoed from across the room.
Rosalynn looked up..
There sat Annie, legs crossed, looking at her with a calm demeanor, completely devoid of her usual warmth and generosity.
Her whole being gave off–a gloomy vibe.
“So you’re in on this too.” Rosalynn’s hands and feet were tied up, rendering her immobile. “Twice in my life I’ve been kidnapped, both times by you Rosso family lot. What’s the deal this time?”
“Are you talking about the bastard?” Annie sneered. “Did he lay a hand on you? Strange, Wayne hates women who’ve been defiled by others, doesn’t he? How did he end up in this mess over you? Is this what they call true love?”
“Annie, barring any accidents, after your father’s death, the entire Rosso family would’ve been yours. Why are you doing this?” Rosalynn didn’t take her bait. “Do you really want the Rosso family to stand against the Jared Group and Bane Corporation? Can the Rosso family handle these two dynasties?”
“If Heatherway Rosso hadn’t died, perhaps your words would’ve threatened me. But now it’s different. Heatherway is dead, your words mean nothing to me.” Annie shrugged. “I just want to avenge Heatherway and make those who hurt her pay.”
“Weren’t you and Heatherway on bad terms?” Rosalynn asked.
“That’s just what you saw. Heatherway was my beloved sister. This pen was a gift from her.” Annie pointed to the pen in her hand. “Want to know how much I hate you guys?”
Rosalynn kept her silence, her mind racing for a way to escape.
“Back then, at a party, she fell for Wayne at first sight. That night, she sheaked into my room, lying beside me, cheerfully telling me how handsome and outstanding he was, and how she fell for him.”
Annie didn’t look at Rosalynn, her eyes fixated on the pen. “Then, she heard that the Silverman Group was looking for a bride for Wayne. She immediately came to me, hoping I could ask our father to extend an invitation to the Silverman Group. Do you know how much I wanted to grant my sister’s every wish? She wanted Wayne, so I negotiated and brought Wayne over for her!”
Annie’s face started to change as she finished speaking.
She looked up at Rosalynn.
“But you ruined everything. Aren’t you women from H country always priding yourselves on your morals and dignity? He was already engaged, why did you have to cling on to Wayne? If it weren’t for your persistent pursuit and the twins in your belly, Heatherway wouldn’t have met such a tragic end!” Annie declared. “You and Olivia Whaley pushed her into the abyss. She’s dead now, and you can’t escape!”
Rosalynn looked at her madness, and replied helplessly, “You’re so smart, can’t you find out whether I was clinging onto Wayne or trying to stay away from him?”
Annie scoffed, then arrogantly lifted her chin. “It doesn’t matter. I’m the one accusing you now. Whatever crime I accuse you of, you have no choice but accept it. Got it?” Annie picked up a syringe from the plate next to her.
“This is specially prepared for you.” Annie said with a smile, “We need you to lure Wayne, so we won’t kill you right away. In seven days, you’ll die from internal rupture.” Rosalynn frowned, her biggest worry now was not dying from internal rupture, but that Wayne would fall into the trap.
Annie had already walked up to her, the syringe with a chilling gleam heading straight for her arm.
