Chapter 1163


    Casually holding a book and sauntering down the stairs, Cory had just given him a big surprise.


    As he stepped out the door, Jaime’s call came in.


    Jaime, who was obviously spooked, had a whiny tone to his voice. “Cory, that was way out of line!”


    Cory remained cool as a cucumber. “Was it really that scary?”


    “You’re the mastermind behind this and you’re asking me?” Jaime shouted back


    “I’m just a kid. I can’t handle scary stuff, so I just had the system send out some random creepy things.


    I didn’t actually look at any of it


    Jaime: “…..”


    This kid, his self-preservation instincts are off the charts


    He’s definitely Rosalynn’s son alright!


    “Could you please avoid scaring my sister in the future?” came Cory’s polite request from the other end


    of the phone.


    Jaime couldn’t help but think of the scary face he just saw.


    He quickly detected a hint of threat in Cory’s polite tone.


    “I got it! I got it! She was the one who imed not to be afraid of bugs!” Jaime replied, halfughing,


    half crying. “By the way, when is your holiday? You still going to Bane Corporation? Want to swing by


    my ce?”


    “No, thanks. I’m off to soak up some sun. Later Cory hung up.


    Do adults nowadays even know that hiring childbor is illegal? Cory shook his head.


    As Ivy reappeared, she hadpletely let go of her fear of bugs and was once again engrossed in


    yful activities on the grass.


    Cory went back to his small stool, resuming his sunbathing session.


    Observing from afar, Rosalynn watched him with admiration. With such a spirited nature, he could


    outshine many grown-ups,” she remarked, impressed by his calm and collected demeanor.


    Wayne nodded in agreement, but his expression quickly changed as he received a call from Hector.


    The smile on his face vanished instantly, and he held Rosalynas hand tightly as he answered the


    phone.


    “President Silverman, isn’t the list of people you want to sue a bit excessive? Hector asked, clearly


    overwhelmed.


    “You sue who I tell you to sue. Don’t worry, yourwyer’s fee is assured Wayne replied nonchntly.


    “Alright.” Hector agreed reluctantly. “After the results of the appraisal came out. Olivia fainted and was


    taken to the hospital. She just woke up and has been calling non-stop, saying she wants to see you.”


    Wayne’s expression turned stern. “No. Do I need to repeat myself?” he replied firmly.


    “Alright, alright. I understand my role. But it’s worth considering that she saved your life. The media


    might not react favorably if they perceive you as heartless,” Hector responded diplomatically.


    The mere thought of it infuriated Wayne.


    Rosalynn noticed the change in his demeanor and shifted her gaze from Cory to Wayne


    In response to her concerned look, Wayne’s anger began to subside.


    Til handle it. You just focus on your job,” Wayne stated before ending the call.


    “Olivia is trying to use the fact that she saved my life as leverage to manipte me!” Wayne uttered


    coldly.


    Rosalynn gently caressed the back of his hand.


    “Just hold on a little longer. Once we gather evidence proving that she wasn’t in Central Park during the


    incident, her lie will crumble,” she reassured him. “Okay, Wayne replied, finding sce in her


    comforting touch


    Nevertheless, Olivia’s situation in the hospital was far from ideal

    A barrage of phone calls from reporters kept flooding her mobile.


    Unable to cope with the pressure, she started to block them one by one


    She wanted to consult Raines for a strategy, but Raines was unreachable.


    After a while, Olivia realized that she had been blocked by Raines.


    After venting her frustrations, she was still convinced that the child in her womb was Wayne’s


    So, she began to search for Wayne again
