My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2814 - 2824

"Her eyes and aura give me this intense sense of familiarity." "I didn't dwell on it much the first time we met. But upon seeing her again, that same familiarity struck me, though I couldn't trace its origin."

"Only when she halted me moments ago, claiming she needed to discuss something, did it click. We were alone then, and her eyes burned with profound hatred. No one except Annie Lawrence or Rebecca Kelloway would glare at me with such venom. With Rebecca's current predicament known, Annie remains the sole suspect."

"I deliberately teased her a bit to verify my hunch. Her angry retort echoed the Annie from my past remarkably."

"This theory might sound ridiculous, but her entire presence screams Annie to me. Still, her voice differs entirely from Annie's. I'm unsure if I'm reading too much into it."

Linda paused briefly on the line before replying: "With such doubts in your mind, true or false, you need to probe deeply. Should she truly be Annie, altering her looks and joining the same program as you carries enormous danger."

"Any ill intentions on her part would leave her concealed while you stand vulnerable. Guarding against that would prove impossible."

"Plastic surgery can transform faces, and vocal procedures can modify voices too. Thus, a differing voice from Annie's proves nothing definitive."

"Linda, aren't you dismissing this as overthinking?" Joanna felt astonished that Linda took her suspicion seriously, given how outlandish Joanna found it herself.

"A woman's instinct often hits the mark precisely. I trust you have solid grounds for suspecting her. Plus, having grown up alongside Annie, you understand her intimately. Even with altered features and tone, a close acquaintance could sense the truth."

"Annie's name was tarnished, forcing her exit from showbiz amid unbearable pressure. Yet I suspected she wouldn't vanish quietly. Craving a comeback, disguising herself seems a plausible move."

"Joanna, the deeper I ponder this, the greater my alarm grows. Stay vigilant. If she's Annie, you're in grave peril. Urgent action demands uncovering her history and true self immediately. Inform President Ashton without delay, I urge."

"His involvement in the probe would resolve it swiftly."

Shortly after, Joanna ended the call.

Though Linda urged confiding in Ashton Heath, Joanna opted against it for the moment, after weighing her choices.

She didn't want to burden him with worry.

Still, unraveling this mystery promptly was essential.

Joanna grew uneasy herself, fearing a venomous serpent coiled nearby.

Annie's grudge against her ran bone-deep.

Extreme hatred drives people to unthinkable extremes.

After brief reflection, Joanna messaged Gary White via Twitter.

Joanna: Bro, I need a favor.

Gary, probably glued to his phone, shot back instantly: Little girl, you finally recall your big bro? So formal with family? What's up?

Joanna: Dig into someone for me.

Gary: Who's the target?

Joanna: Newbie Omega Huntley, sharing the show with me. No questions on my motives—just vet her completely.
