The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1598

Jacob slammed down the phone in a huff. Immediately, his phone started buzzing, with pictures and videos flooding in from the other side. Jacob went white as a sheet, trembling as he unlocked his Whatsapp.

The first pic that came up was Erica's beaming face. He remembered people once wondering how Erica, with her tough upbringing, could still manage to be so happy every day.

Jacob had once asked Erica, "You're always laughing, must be a lot of happy stuff happening, huh?"

Jacob couldn't recall how Erica replied. He didn't seem to have paid much attention to her response. But he vaguely remembered a sparkle in her eyes when she answered.

Next, Jacob saw Erica in her stunning wedding dress, eyes lowered as if showing off the dress. Then another picture of the same wedding dress, and a big hand gently resting on Erica's waist. Just these two pics shattered Jacob.

He quickly scrolled through the rest, seeing a church pic, and an invitation reading: Larkin Carter & Erica, inviting you to witness our union on X day of X month of X year at a certain church. Seeing this, Jacob felt a sharp pain in his chest and immediately booked a flight to Zurich.

On his way to the airport, he had someone dig up dirt on this Larkin guy. By the time he reached the airport, he had a file on Larkin. He was three years older than Erica, came from a pretty decent family, and was an antiques dealer. The file also had a photo of Larkin, a complete contrast to Jacob's style.

After going through the file, Jacob held his head and muttered, "This can't be real, Erica once said she hates cold and reticent guys." As he thought this, he dialed another number, "I want dirt on Larkin. If he's clean, dig up on his family. If they're clean, make something up, got it?" The person on the other end immediately agreed.

Two hours later, Jacob was on his flight to Zurich. Word quickly got back to Rosalynn. Wayne hadn't activated his old phone yet, so his friends couldn't reach him and called Rosalynn instead.

"Ms. Tesdal, we've thought it over and decided Wayne should handle this mess."
