Rosalynn cast a nce and chuckled. "You know, it''s rare to find someone with as much spunk as you these days, Ms. Albinia."


    "It''s probably you''ve been pushing me to the edge, Ms. Tesdal," Rose shot back.


    "Do you realize, Ms. Albinia, at this very moment, I am so d that I pulled you out of Dr. Lange''sb, even if just for a while?" Rosalynn said, tilting her head slightly. "It seems my intuition about you was spot on."


    Rose''s expression darkened. "Intuition? What intuition?"


    "That you have designs on Wayne," Rosalynn pronounced each word with gravity. "I don''t know if your intentions are good or bad, but you definitely have ns for him."


    Rose''s face flickered with emotion.d2


    "Check out the Bane Corporation''s official website. They''ve got job postings up. You can send your resume to HR, and if you''ve got what it takes to be my secretary, they''ll be in touch."


    With that, Rosalynn left without another word and got into her sleek silver Bentley, driving off before Rose''s eyes.


    Rose''s expression soured. She whipped out her phone and texted Rosalynn, [I''ll take it that you''ve made your choice. I''m heading straight back to Munich!]


    After sending the message, she got no response. Fuming, Rose immediately purchased a ne ticket to leave H Country, but before she could even get to the airport, her flight was canceled.


    A phone call revealed the shocking news: Rose''s passport had been temporarily restricted from leaving the country.


    She was livid. Without hesitation, she called Penn, and he picked up promptly.


    "Penn, I''ve been barred from leaving H Country! It''s Rosalynn''s doing! Why is she doing this to me? I just want to go home, it''s not like I have to work at yourb!"Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Penn replied in a calm voice, "Calm down. Weren''t you settling in quite well over there? Why this sudden urge toe back?"


    Rose couldn''t quite exin her feelings.


    Seeing Rosalynn surrounded by a throng of people that morning had left her feeling extremely upset. It seemed to her that she was just another pawn under Rosalynn''s control, forced to live a life dictated by her whims. Why should she? Her mother had always said that such domineering people thrive by sapping the joy and achievements of others.


    "I just don''t feel at home here," Rose retorted, upset.


    "Stop making a fuss. You were doing fine before. Rose... ever since we confirmed Wayne''s diagnosis, you''ve changed. What''s going on?" Penn''s voice grew stern. "Even I''m starting to wonder if you''re harboring thoughts of revenge against Wayne!"


    "I''m not, how could I? I want to protect him!" Rose insisted quickly. "My mother and I bear no ill will or me towards him or Ayden Silverman, you know that!"


    "If that''s true, it''s for the best. The medical team has prepared aprehensive treatment n for Wayne today. Ideally, with a six-month to one-year treatment cycle, we can stabilize his condition..." "Penn," Rose interrupted him.


    "Yes?"


    "What''s the real reason Ayden and Wayne ended up like this?"


    "Rose, what are you trying to say?" Penn didn''t answer but asked instead.


    "While there are some gic defects at y, isn''t the situation made worse by the likes of Natalie and Rosalynn? As long as Rosalynn is around Wayne, no matter how we treat him, he''ll end up walking the same path as his father, don''t you get it?" Rose''s voice grew increasingly agitated. "Back then, my mother told your father the same thing, and he didn''t take it seriously. Now, if you don''t take it seriously, Wayne is doomed!"
