Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 773

Wayne snapped out of his daze. "Okay. I'll get going then."

It was quite late already. Why didn't Everly call him? She must have been at the hospital the entire afternoon.

He drove to Reinland Hospital straight away and headed to the OB/GYN department. But before he could step into the department, he was stopped by the medical staff there.

He asked the nurse, "Can you tell me where Everly Pierce is?"

The nurse happened to know Everly and knew that Wayne worked at Hera's clinic. Everly had made quite the name for herself here at the hospital, so the nurse had quite the impression of Everly.

The nurse was sure that she hadn't seen Everly around in the afternoon. But she couldn't be certain if Everly had disguised herself when she came.

In the end, the nurse resorted to checking the records to see if Everly had come to the hospital that day. Shaking her head, she told Wayne, "She didn't come to the hospital today.

Wayne was taken by surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," the nurse replied after scanning through the records on the computer again.

A frisson of anger rose within him. He remembered how pitiful she looked when she pleaded with him this morning. Was it all just a lie?

Wayne reached into his pocket for his phone. All of a sudden, he realized that his pocket was empty.

He reached into all his pockets to make sure that the thing he was looking for wasn't missing. But in the end, he came to the conclusion that his bank card was now missing! Out of the blue, the scene of Everly hugging him before she got into the car resurfaced in Wayne's mind, and his face fell as realization dawned on him. His heart turned cold.

"Are you okay? Did you lose something?" the nurse asked after seeing the change of expression on his face. "Do you want to report it to the police?"

Wayne's reply was curt. "No thanks."

With that, he turned and left the hospital. He didn't have Everly's new phone number and had no idea where she had gone to. He didn't know where to find her either.

With his face shrouded in gloom, he made his way back to his house. He couldn't sleep that night.

At around midnight, he received a message from the bank saying that he had made a transaction of 80 grand.noveldrama

He quickly logged into his banking application and checked the details of the transaction. The money was transferred to a store.

However, after searching for the store online, he found out that there was no such store. It was fake.

He waited until after dawn and drove Catherine to the clinic. There weren't a lot of patients

yet, so he quickly headed to the bank and had a staff member look into the store. Soon, he discovered that the store was located north of the city. It didn't have an exact address, nor did it have a business license.

He failed to get more information about the store. If only he were a hacker, he could've gotten the precise location of where the store was. Still, he didn't want to trouble Hera with something like this because Everly had caused too much trouble before this.

Gino abruptly popped up in Wayne's mind. Gino was learning how to code from Hera. Therefore, asking him to get the store's IP address shouldn't be much of a problem.

Wayne had picked Gino up from school in the past. He had Gino's number, so he quickly texted Gino and asked for help.

Soon enough, Gino replied, "Consider it done. Send me the details of the transaction." Wayne: "Can you not tell Hera about this?"

Gino: "Why? Did you get scammed and you're afraid of letting her know?"

Wayne was speechless. Gino had quite the imagination.

Wayne: "Yeah. You have to keep it a secret."

Gino: "You didn't install the anti-scam app, did you? You're so gullible! You deserve it!"

Once again, Wayne was rendered speechless.

Gino: "Just send me the details. Allow me, the almighty Gino, to avenge you!"
