Chapter 1965


    “Karma has a funny way ofing around, Wayne. I’ll keep tabs on you from behind bars, eager to


    witness youreuppance,” Hector smirked elegantly.


    “Hector, don’t use me as an excuse tosh out at Wayne, Rosalynn retorted coolly. “Whether he’ll face


    retribution remains to be seen. For now, you should focus on tasting your own punishment in the


    remainder of your life.”


    With that, Rosalynn took Wayne’s arm and left the stifling booth.


    Her knowledge of Hector was somewhat limited. She knew he was highly professional, but what she


    hadn’t anticipated was the chain reaction their spat at the golden anniversary party would ignite.

    They returned to their car in silence.c2


    Wayne, his eyes downcast, murmured, “I’m sorry.”


    Rosalynn sighed, looking at Wayne, “Honey… it all started because of me.”


    “No, I’ve questioned Ableson thoroughly-it was my fury that had the Lawrencesmit Lizzy to the


    asylum!” Wayne’s brows furrowed deeply. Rosalynn paused, looking at Wayne with determination.


    “Wayne, let’s leave the past where it belongs. No matter what happens in the future, don’t resort to


    such actions again, okay? There are always better methods to resolve things.”


    Throughout her years by Wayne’s side, she had seen people wishing for Wayne’s downfall and


    Wayne’s even more brutal retaliation. To be honest, his swift and ruthless methods were instrumental in


    rapidly building up Bane Corporation in such a hostile environment. But now, he no longer needed to


    establish his authority through brutal suppression.


    “Okay,” Wayne readily agreed.


    Rosalynn squeezed his hand and nced back at the direction of the restaurant. She remembered


    Hector mentioning he had contemted hurting Cory and Ivy, but couldn’t go through with it. Hector


    had free ess to Moonlit Lake. If he intended to catch them off guard, chances were he would


    seed, which made Rosalynn shudder.


    Upon returning home, before she could seek out Hria, she was called into the study.


    “Grandma, what’s wrong?” Rosalynn asked, noting Hria’s stern expression.


    “Brewer Lawrence called me,” Hria said sinctly. “Are you aware of his family’s predicament?”


    “Yes,” Rosalynn nodded, her eyes downcast. “I’ve juste back from meeting Hector.”


    “They im Wayne drove Lizzy insane, which led to her setting fire to a car and killing Hector’s wife


    and child. Is that true?” Hria inquired.


    Rosalynn was quick to shake her head. “Wayne did indeed have hermitted to an asylum…”


    She proceeded to exin the circumstances in detail.


    Hria’s face hardened. “I knew about Wayne having hermitted. She publicly insulted you. She


    had to pay the price, otherwise everyone would think my granddaughter is easy to bully!”


    After a pause, she scoffed, “Brewer’s call was full of usations against Wayne. As if Wayne drove his


    well-behaved grandson to stab Wayne in the back! He asked me to mediate and prevent Wayne from


    retaliating against the Lawrence Group!”


    “They may not know the whole truth,” Rosalynn tried to cate Hria. “Hector has always told them


    that Wayne refused to release Lizzy. It’s likely the story of Lizzy being driven mad came from him.”


    “That boy…he seemed so straightced. How could he do something so disgraceful?” she paused


    before asking, “What does Wayne n to do next?”


    “Hector’s contractual fraud has been reported to the police, let them do their job. As for the Lawrence


    family…”
