The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1271

Later on.

Wayne and Annie sat in the living room.

"My assistant was overly anxious about this meeting, arriving an hour early and causing inconvenience for you," Annie apologized sincerely.

Annie was the eldest daughter of the Rosso family.

She was different from Heatherway's mother.

Their appearances resembled their respective mothers more, so they didn't look alike.

"It's alright," Wayne said nonchalantly. "It's been a long time since we last met, so it's good to catch up."

"It's not that I didn't want to see you, but my father felt that my misjudgment almost turned the Rosso family and the Silverman family into enemies. For the past few years, he forbade me from getting involved in matters related to your family," Annie paused briefly. "Properly speaking, I owe you and Mrs. Silverman an apology. Heatherway's past behavior... was truly inappropriate."

Wayne's eyes half-closed.

"But it's quite amazing, you know? Two years ago, I almost had the opportunity to collaborate with Ms. Gabriella, but Jered Ventures suddenly withdrew from the partnership before signing the contract. I regretted it for a long time," Annie smiled. "That day, my assistant told me that Ms. Gabriella was actually your former secretary, Secretary Tesdal. It suddenly dawned on me that she probably didn't want to collaborate with our Rosso family."

"You're joking," Wayne smiled slightly. When he mentioned his wife, his gaze unintentionally revealed a touch of tenderness. "She never cared about those things. There must be other reasons."

Annie's smile grew even more pronounced.

"I've heard a lot about her abilities when she was still your secretary, but you just wouldn't let her meet me. After so many years, I can finally meet her."

Wayne's expression became somewhat cold. He had met Annie to discuss a marriage alliance between the two families.

He didn't want Rosalynn to know about it, so he naturally wouldn't bring her along.

It wasn't until the media started to hype it up that he told her.

"When she comes later, don't keep bringing up the past." Wayne looked at Annie, "That matter is really not a good thing for me."

Annie's smile froze for a moment, then she seemed a bit embarrassed, "I'm sorry, let's talk about the project."

"Sure." Wayne agreed.

He didn't feel that what happened in the past was a loss to the Rosso family.
