The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1306

Annie schlepped her bag and walked out with a gloomy look on her face.

People started to head out one by one.

Rosalynn turned to Wayne, "Do you think she's lying?"

"Let's look into those murder cases she mentioned first." Wayne suggested and then paused for a moment. "And also check out Heatherway's mom. Then have Jaime Jules hack into Annie's room network and keep tabs on her every move."

Wayne was suspicious of everyone now. After wrapping up his work, he was just about to head out with Rosalynn when Sean rushed over in a hurry.

"What's the big emergency now?" Wayne was a bit uneasy seeing Sean's 'end of the world' expression.

"Jacob's in trouble!" Sean announced gravely.

"Who?" Wayne's face blanched. "Jacob?"

"Yeah, Jacob. He went to check out a factory the day before yesterday. He left there yesterday evening and then went off the radar. An hour ago, someone found his car flipped over at the bottom of a cliff."

"Is he... still alive?" Rosalynn hurriedly asked.

"He's in critical condition at the hospital!" Sean's face was ashen.

Jacob's mom called Wayne, barely able to speak through her tears.

Wayne didn't know what to say.

"Mrs. Strand, I've got Jacob here. You guys don't need to rush back for now. If Jacob needs any medical equipment that we don't have here, I'll need you guys to handle the procedures there." Wayne said.

"We're not coming back?" Jacob's mother sounded surprised. "Wayne, Jacob's life is hanging in the balance. How could we not be there? Are you keeping something from us?"

Jacob's mom had watched Wayne grow up. She knew he wouldn't suggest something so outlandish without a good reason.
