The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel 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 claimed not to be afraid of bugs!" Jaime replied, half laughing, half crying. "By the way, when is your holiday? You still going to Bane Corporation? Want to swing by my place?"

"No, thanks. I'm off to soak up some sun. Later." Cory hung up.

Do adults nowadays even know that hiring child labor is illegal?

Cory shook his head.

As Ivy reappeared, she had completely let go of her fear of bugs and was once again engrossed in playful 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.
