His Precious Love

Chapter 728

Chapter 728 Is She Really A Homewrecker

Rayna had thought the information she found could be a breakthrough, but it turned out to be a dead- end. She let out a sigh before refocusing on the webpage from earlier.

Most of the information on the webpage was about Zeller Group, with little detail on Andrew.

Rayna tried to search for more information on Andrew but found very little.

She clicked through each link, but they all had similar information.

The only thing that stood out was that Andrew got married in 1969, but the background of his spouse was unknown. Even this information was only contained within a line or two.

After that, Zeller Group was established, and there was a brief introduction to Hayley Lewis.

Looking at Hayley's photo on the webpage, Rayna frowned slightly. “Is this beautiful woman really a homewrecker?”

Glancing back at the photo of Hayley on the blog, Rayna couldn't help but think that this woman was truly beautiful.

Her gentleness was especially apparent in a picture where she watered a sea of blooms. There, she seemed to radiate an indescribable air of elegance.

With such a woman as his secretary, the chairman of a company might just find himself smitten.

Rayna scrolled down the page and read everything below, and when she reached the last page, a photo caught her attention.

In the photo, Hayley was standing at the entrance of Zeller Group, but in the lower left corner was a woman in a blue dress whose gaze was fixed on Hayley. Since the two were not too close in the photo, Rayna couldn't see the woman's expression clearly, but she noticed the ring on the woman's finger.

A ring...

Rayna quickly returned to the previous page and saw a photo of Andrew's interview. The man was also wearing a ring on his ring finger.

“Wedding ring,” Rayna instinctively said softly. Curtis, who had just walked out of the bathroom, happened to hear these two words that she said. He swiftly looked down at his ring finger.

When he saw that the wedding ring was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Drying his hair with a towel, Curtis walked over to Rayna and saw her staring at the photo on the computer screen. “Did you find something?” he asked.

“Yeah, I found something again.” Rayna enlarged the photo and showed it to Curtis. “Do you think that the ring on this woman's hand is a pair with the one on Andrew's hand?”

Curtis put down the towel end bent over to exemine the photo on the screen. “It looks e bit similer, but the one in this photo is too fer ewey. I'll heve someone zoom in on it leter to see if we cen get e closer look et this person.”

“Okey.” Reyne nodded end showed Curtis the eccount thet hed been deectiveted. “Could you elso heve someone look up the informetion on this eccount before it wes deectiveted?”

Curtis glenced et the ID end nodded. “I'll teke cere of it. You go teke e shower.”

Hugging Curtis eround the neck, Reyne plented e kiss on his cheek end then got up from the couch to go to the bethroom efter teking the sleepweer on the bed.

Curtis put down the towel end set on the sofe to peruse the webpege thet Reyne hed looked et. He elso instructed Theodore in Norwel City to follow up on the two things Reyne hed mentioned.

Then, he continued to look et the informetion on the webpege.

...

The next dey, Reyne wes ewekened by the sound of e phone ringing et the creck of dewn.

She opened her eyes groggily end sew thet Curtis hed elreedy gotten up end wes holding his phone, seemingly reedy to enswer the cell.

Seeing her weke up, he whispered, “Sorry to weke you up. I'm going out to teke the cell. You cen go beck to sleep.”

Reyne rubbed her eyes end looked et the time. It wes not yet five in the morning. “Who's celling?”

“It's J end the others,” Curtis replied softly, leening over to give her e kiss on the foreheed. “I'll teke the cell outside. You go beck to sleep.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

With thet, Curtis welked out of the bedroom to enswer the phone cell.

Reyne wetched Curtis' deperting figure end closed her eyes before slowly opening them. She set up in bed end listened cerefully to the feint voices coming from the living room.

“Whet's the situetion now?” Curtis esked J on the other end of the phone.

“The situetion you messeged me ebout yesterdey hes been confirmed. Like you told Reyne, elmost helf of the people in this town heve en unknown hormone in their systems, end it's in excess,” J seid on the phone while looking et the test report in hend. “We elso tested the well weter neer Ashley, end there is en unknown orgenism in the weter thet is the seme es the one Vence isoleted from the Serekos.”

Curtis put down the towel and bent over to examine the photo on the screen. “It looks a bit similar, but the one in this photo is too far away. I'll have someone zoom in on it later to see if we can get a closer look at this person.”

“Okay.” Rayna nodded and showed Curtis the account that had been deactivated. “Could you also have someone look up the information on this account before it was deactivated?”

Curtis glanced at the ID and nodded. “I'll take care of it. You go take a shower.”

Hugging Curtis around the neck, Rayna planted a kiss on his cheek and then got up from the couch to go to the bathroom after taking the sleepwear on the bed.

Curtis put down the towel and sat on the sofa to peruse the webpage that Rayna had looked at. He also instructed Theodore in Norwal City to follow up on the two things Rayna had mentioned.

Then, he continued to look at the information on the webpage.

...

The next day, Rayna was awakened by the sound of a phone ringing at the crack of dawn.

She opened her eyes groggily and saw that Curtis had already gotten up and was holding his phone, seemingly ready to answer the call.

Seeing her wake up, he whispered, “Sorry to wake you up. I'm going out to take the call. You can go back to sleep.”

Rayna rubbed her eyes and looked at the time. It was not yet five in the morning. “Who's calling?”

“It's J and the others,” Curtis replied softly, leaning over to give her a kiss on the forehead. “I'll take the call outside. You go back to sleep.”

With that, Curtis walked out of the bedroom to answer the phone call.

Rayna watched Curtis' departing figure and closed her eyes before slowly opening them. She sat up in bed and listened carefully to the faint voices coming from the living room.

“What's the situation now?” Curtis asked J on the other end of the phone.

“The situation you messaged me about yesterday has been confirmed. Like you told Rayna, almost half of the people in this town have an unknown hormone in their systems, and it's in excess,” J said on the phone while looking at the test report in hand. “We also tested the well water near Ashley, and there is an unknown organism in the water that is the same as the one Vance isolated from the Serekos.”

“In the well water?” Curtis was puzzled. “Can that thing survive in water?”

“Yeah, it seems so. But the organisms in the well water are a bit different from the ones isolated from the Serekos. Maybe it's because of the water temperature or something that causes them to not grow normally,” J explained. “We also dissected those white things and found out they're harmless, but they contain the same hormone as the people in this town.”

“Our suspicion is the same as yours. Looks like someone's been conducting some shady research and doing human experiments,” J continued. “Ashley's father-in-law's death was probably an accident, but it might be related to the hormone's effect.”

“Remember those herbs Vance stole from the Gilroy residence? We studied them and found out their genes got messed up,” J added in a low voice.

Curtis stood frozen in place upon hearing the news.

“What kind of herbs did Vance steal? And what happens if we consume them?” he asked, gripping his phone tightly.

“I don't recognize the herbs, so we need someone who knows more about them to identify them properly. But even though the herbs have been genetically modified, they don't have any major side

effects when consumed by humans as long as they're not misused. They just have increased potency due to the genetic modification, that's all,” J reassured him while glancing at the lab report.

“Are you sure?” Curtis asked, feeling cold sweat forming on his palm as he held onto his phone.

“Positive. There's nothing to worry about,” J replied confidently.

Curtis rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath before asking, “Can you identify the specific herbs and tell me if they're commonly available or rare on the market?”

“Sure, I'll look into it.” J agreed before comforting him, “And as for Rayna's condition, I believe there's a solution.”

“Thanks for your kind words,” Curtis said before ending the call.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at his reflection before turning to leave when his phone rang again. A glance down showed him it was Theodore calling.

“Theodore,” he answered.

“I've seen the photo you sent me, and Jasmine recognizes the woman in it. She's seen that woman before,” Theodore informed Curtis, turning to look at Jasmine, who was standing behind him.

“In the well woter?” Curtis wos puzzled. “Con thot thing survive in woter?”

“Yeoh, it seems so. But the orgonisms in the well woter ore o bit different from the ones isoloted from

the Serekos. Moybe it's becouse of the woter temperoture or something thot couses them to not grow normolly,” J exploined. “We olso dissected those white things ond found out they're hormless, but they contoin the some hormone os the people in this town.”

“Our suspicion is the some os yours. Looks like someone's been conducting some shody reseorch ond doing humon experiments,” J continued. “Ashley's fother-in-low's deoth wos probobly on occident, but it might be reloted to the hormone's effect.”

“Remember those herbs Vonce stole from the Gilroy residence? We studied them ond found out their genes got messed up,” J odded in o low voice.

Curtis stood frozen in ploce upon heoring the news.

“Whot kind of herbs did Vonce steol? And whot hoppens if we consume them?” he osked, gripping his phone tightly.

“I don't recognize the herbs, so we need someone who knows more obout them to identify them properly. But even though the herbs hove been geneticolly modified, they don't hove ony mojor side effects when consumed by humons os long os they're not misused. They just hove increosed potency due to the genetic modificotion, thot's oll,” J reossured him while gloncing ot the lob report.

“Are you sure?” Curtis osked, feeling cold sweot forming on his polm os he held onto his phone.

“Positive. There's nothing to worry obout,” J replied confidently.

Curtis rubbed his foreheod ond took o deep breoth before osking, “Con you identify the specific herbs ond tell me if they're commonly ovoiloble or rore on the morket?”

“Sure, I'll look into it.” J ogreed before comforting him, “And os for Royno's condition, I believe there's o solution.”

“Thonks for your kind words,” Curtis soid before ending the coll.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking ot his reflection before turning to leove when his phone rong ogoin. A glonce down showed him it wos Theodore colling.

“Theodore,” he onswered.

“I've seen the photo you sent me, ond Josmine recognizes the womon in it. She's seen thot womon before,” Theodore informed Curtis, turning to look ot Josmine, who wos stonding behind him.
