Chapter 5
“It’s okay.” Wayne said casually, trying tofort Ashley.
Ashley hid behind him, acting like she was terrified of Rosalynn.
Rosalynn was speechless.
“Rosalynn, can’t she use you? I can, right?” Wayne’s voice was cold and cutting.
Rosalynn was caught off guard, her eyes welling up with tears. Wayne… didn’t have faith. in her.
Wayne selected a few data sheets from the file and passed them to Rosalynn. “Even if someone else
tampered with the data, your signature is on these, isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Rosalynn replied.
“Then you’re responsible.” Wayne dered Rosalynn guilty, “I’ll give you three days to sort this out. If
not, I will call the police.”
Rosalynn stared at him, feeling a hint of resentment, but she quickly suppressed it. Whether or not she
had anything to do with the matter, Wayne knew deep down.
Maybe disappointment wasn’t the right word to discribe her mood.
Wayne had always been a vengeful person. She had volunteered to leave and forcefully rejected his
attempts to keep her. If Wayne didn’t kill her, it meant he had been merciful.
However, Rosalynn knew that she was not responsible for the entire situation. She refused to be made
a scapegoat.
“Fine,” Rosalynn responded with unwavering fearlessness.
Wayne’s eyes darkened, unsettled by her stubborn and fearless demeanor. Without saying a word, he
turned back towards his office, with Ashley closely trailing behind him.
As Ashley cast a nce at Rosalynn, a smug sense of triumph emanated from her. Soon, rumors of
Rosalynn betraying thepany spread throughout Bane Corporation. Rosalynn no longer had an
office, so she took herptop and went to thepany library. She had been monitoring the entire
process of the Dous project, and it was a perfect n in every way.
She had personally done research on Prodigy Inc.’s demands, so the proposal should have been
wless and Prodigy Inc. would have approved it without a doubt.
What a pity!
At lunchtime.
Rosalynn bought a sandwich and sat down in a quiet, uce. She took a bite and responded to Paige’s
text.
When Paige found out about the situation, she immediately called Rosalynn.
“Find the culprit! Find them and make them confess!” Paige eximed angrily, punctuating her words
with a stomping foot. “Clear your name! And while you’re at it, give them a good beating!”
Rosalynn responded with a somber tone, “But the significant deal still fell through. Many people
dedicated months of work to this, and it shouldn’t have ended like this.”
“Rosa, do you have a n?” Paige asked.
“I will catch them, and I will fight for this deal!” Rosalynn replied with determination.
“I will not be ndered!”
“What can I do to help?” Paige asked without hesitation.
“There’s a cruise party tomorrow night, and the boss of Prodigy Inc., Wace Mason, will be attending.
I’m going to bring the proposal and find him.”
“I know of this party, and I should be able to get your invitations. But, I’ve heard from my stepfather that
Wace is notorious for being strict. Your proposal already had a w…” Paige left it at that.
“How will I know if I don’t try?” Rosalynn decided.
Paige: “Alright, girl, I’ll help you!”
“When this is over, I’ll treat you to a fancy dinner!” Rosalynn said with augh.
“You bet!” Paige replied excitedly. “By the way, don’t mess around with your outfit. Let’s go shopping
right now!”
After that, Paige couldn’t help but mock Rosalynn’s previous modest appearance.
“Look at you. You are a natural queen, stop ying the wallflower, alright?”
“Okay!” Rosalynnughed in response.
She hadn’t intended to keep ying the wallflower anyway.
Standing by the floor–to–ceiling windows on the third floor of the library.
Wayne observed Rosalynn, a gentle smile adorning her countenance.
Had she ever bestowed such a smile upon him? Never.
A sudden surge of anger welled up within Wayne’s chest, intensifying his emotions.
“Wayne, don’t you think you’re being a bit too harsh about the contract problem in the sales
department? You know Rosalynn well, right? Could she really have done those tiny mistakes?” Jacob
said while ncing at Wayne. “Loc her, so lonely and helpless, sitting out in the cold!”
Wayne was cold and heartless.
“It’s her fault for leaving my protection. How is she pitiful?” Wayne said while watching Rosalynn. “She
deserves it.”
Jacob hesitated, unsure what to say.
At that moment, a ck Benz pulled up by the roadside.
Rosalynn smiled, got up, and ran over excitedly
Jacob looked at her in astonishment. He had never seen Rosalynn this lively and girlish.
As Jacob inspected the car and glimpsed the vexed expression on Wayne’s face, he exaggeratedly
remarked, “What’s happening? Does Rosalynn have a new beau? Is that why she’s so resolute in
severing ties with you?”
Wayne’s countenance grew icy, and he remained silent. He turned away abruptly and departed.
The following evening, as the city lights illuminated the surroundings, a magnificent cruise ship glided
to a halt at the pier.
A steady stream of wealthy and influential people, even celebrities, dressed in their finest, boarded the
ship.
Rosalynn and Paige had already boarded earlier.
However… they didn’t have invitations, but staff passes instead.
“The party is just too popr this time. Everyone in H City wants to be here. The invitations are hard to
come by, so we can only sneak in as staff,” Paige said apologetically.
“No problem, as long as we’re on board,” Rosalynn said while double–checking her proposal to ensure
it was wless.
“In a bit, the cocktail party will start. You change into the gown and go find Wace,” Paige patted the
bag next to her, which contained Rosalynn’s gown. “Babe, you’re so gorgeous, you’ll definitely knock
everyone’s socks off. Tonight, not only do we want to get Wace’s order, but also hook you up with a
new boyfriend!”
Rosalynn.couldn’t help butugh. Which man would want a girlfriend who’s pregnant with someone
else’s child?
Before long, the cocktail party began.

Rosalynn changed into the gown and climbed out of a low window.
As soon as shended and put on her high heels,ug! came from behind her.
Frowning, she turned around to see a cute guy with adorable curly hair, holding a champagne ss,
staring at her as if he was dumbstruck.
“Sir? Do you need help?” Rosalynn hesitated a bit but asked anyway.
“You…” The handsome guy looked at the low window and then back at Rosalynn.
Rosalynn was speechless. She had absolutely terrible luck, getting caught by someone as soon as she
got out!
Rosalynn prepared to make up some lie.
However, the handsome guy continued dreamily, “You’re so beautiful, like a princess escaping from a
fairy tale!”
Rosalynn stood there, momentarily taken aback by the situation.
She was adorned in a captivating strapless gown, its golden hue entuating her figure. Her waist–
length hair cascaded down in voluminous waves, adding to her allure.
With her smooth and fairplexion, coupled with meticulously applied delicate makeup, she
appeared breathtakingly beautiful beneath the moonlight and stars. As she nced back, a gentle sea
breeze tousled her flowing locks, creating an enchanting sight that captivated the attention of an
admirer, a handsome figure.
