Chapter 2030


    When Rosalynn first came into Wayne’s life, she had no inkling that he had an uncle


    It was about six monthster, at a Silverman family gathering, Rosalynn was delivering a tie to Wayne


    She arrived just in time to hear Maddie Fuller mention the older brother, the atmosphere of the


    gathering was pleasant until that point.


    Back then, Natalie was still healthy, always maintaining an air of authority.

    That day, her mood was visibly upbeat. But who would have thought… the moment Maddie mentioned


    the elder brother, Natalie’s face soured.c2


    Rosalynn, being new to this, was quite frightened by the sudden change. Later, she discovered that


    Natalie had an older son, who was groomed to be the heir of the family, but he died at a young age.


    From then on, Ayden’s existence became a taboo in the Silverman Group


    Maddie didn’t bring up Ayden unintentionally that day. Natalie had just vetoed one of Maddie’s major


    projects. And Maddie, of course, didn’t consider it was her own fault. She was convinced that Natalie


    was trying to show her who’s boss now that Wayne’s Bane Corporation was expanding, intentionally


    tripping her up on the project.


    With the mentality that if Natalie wasn’t going to let her have her way, she wouldn’t let Natalie have


    hers, Maddie deliberately mentioned Ayden when Natalie was at her happiest.


    Rosalynn remembered that Maddie had said something along the lines of, “On such a happy day, I


    can’t help but think of our elder brother. He was far more intelligent than Wayne’s father. Such a pity he


    didn’t leave any descendants.”


    No one expected that yearster, Maddie’s words woulde back to haunt her


    The office was quiet, Penn lit some calming incense and pulled down the ckout curtains, revealing


    the city’s night view.


    Rosalynn sat there. Page by page, she went through the files rted to Ayden


    When Ayden first fell ill, he was 19 and had skipped several grades to be the youngest doctoral


    candidate at Stanford Rosalynn thought, no wonder Ayden had always been Natalie’s pride and joy


    No wonder she used such despicable means to preserve Ayden’s lineage.


    When Ayden first fell ill, Natalie thought he was just over-stressed and didn’t take it seriously.


    instead, she put so much pressure on Ayden by grooming him to be the heir, which only increased his


    stress.


    Everything changed when Ayden turned 24


    At this time, Ayden had started working alongside Natalie, handling some business of the Silverman


    Group.


    It was also this year that Ayden met Betsy Albinia, a girl his family had been sponsoring for many


    years.


    Ayden told his psychologist that his affection for Betsy wasn’t an ident.


    He first saw her at a charity event his family attended, where Betsy represented the underprivileged


    group they were supporting.


    Ayden was captivated by Betsy, who appeared ufortable and helpless in the crowd.


    But being strictly controlled by his mother, Ayden knew he couldn’t let her find out he had a crush on a


    girl, especially a…moner. So, Ayden kept his first love a secret, silently supporting her education.


    When they met again, she had grown into a beautiful, attractive woman.


    In Ayden’s words to his psychologist, he was on the verge of madness by then, filled with obsession.


    This time, he didn’t back down, and the two quickly fell in love.


    Ayden and Betsy had manymon interests and simrities


    It was as if they had found the other half of their souls in each other.


    Ayden said that those six months were the only happy times he had in his life.


    Until half a yearter
