    “No,” Rosalynn gathered herself, her voice maintaining its usual tone. “Maybe I didn’t sleep enoughst


    night. Head to the restaurant first, I’ll be there


    soon.”


    “Sure, take your time, no rush. Wayne’s voice was incredibly gentle.


    Rosalynn heard him and it felt as if a knife was slowly carving into her heart.


    The call ended.


    “Mike, you’ve been working hard these days. Go home and rest.” Rosalynn paused for a moment. Rest


    well, it might be a long while before you get another break.”c2


    “Understood.” Mike nodded.


    After hesitating for a while, he finally said, “Miss, the Jared Group will always have your back, no matter


    what happens, no matter what decision you


    make


    Rosalynn gave Mike a smile and a nod. Mike then left.


    Rosalynn sat in her car. It felt like an invisible hand was choking her.


    After calming herself down, she headed to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.


    As soon as she parked the car, she saw Ableson


    Deep down, she hoped that the videos Mike found were rted to another personality of his


    Rosalynn opened the car door, “Ableson.”


    As Ableson tumed his head, Rosalynn noticed his sour expression.


    “What’s wrong? Where’s the kid?” Rosalynn looked behind him.


    “He didn’t show up. President Silverman just called and told me the kid said he woulde himself.”


    Ableson’s face was stern,


    “How could he not show up? Was the address wrong?” Rosalynn asked in a deep voice.


    I went to the address given by President Silverman. I called the kid when I got there, but the number


    President Silverman gave me does not exist!” Ableson’s forehead furrowed. T’m sure I dialed the


    number President Silverman gave me, look…


    Ableson showed her the chat history with Wayne. Rosalynn looked down at it.


    Without saying a word, she took out her own phone and dialed the number.


    Sorry, the number you dialed does not exist….


    The midday sun was still quite hot, yet Rosalynn felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, her teeth

    “Madam, are you alright?” Ableson noticed Rosalynn’s pale face and was startled. “Are you feeling


    unwell?”


    “No…” Rosalynn waved her hand. Then she headed straight for the elevator.


    Maybe the number was wrong. Didn’t Ableson say that the kid wasing himself?N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    That’s what Rosalynn thought. But her steps quickened.


    Ableson, a tall man, had to half-run to keep up.


    Once in the elevator, they headed straight for the diner. Coincidentally, Wayne was waiting in the


    elevator hall.


    “Darling” Upon seeing Rosalynn, Wayne hurried over.


    “President Silverman Ableson lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong


    Wayne nced at him, clearly a bit annoyed.


    “Ableson said he didn’t pick up the kid and the kid ising by himself?” Rosalynn looked behind


    Wayne, there was no one there. Where is he? Has he arrived?”


    The next moment felt like an eternity


    “He’s not here yet” Wayne pursed his lips, a subconscious action when he was anxious. “He said he


    would be here ten minutes ago, now his phone và not answering”


    Rosalynn tried to control her trembling hand, “Can you try calling again?”
