In the bathroom, the sound of water pattering.
The autumn night was getting cold.
But Wayne still had the cold water running, showering himself.
Today's every expression of Rosalynn kept replaying in his mind, especially the image of her tearful, ashamed, frightened, and desperate gaze at him.
The more Wayne thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
At this moment, the doorbell rang incessantly. He became even more irritable. Cursing, he turned off the water, put on his bathrobe, and strode out.
He opened the door. It was Jacob.
"What's up?" Wayne asked coldly.
"I just saw Secretary Tesdal by the elevator!"
Upon hearing about Rosalynn, Wayne's face contorted even further, and he made an attempt to close the door. However, Jacob swiftly interposed, blocking his way.
"Her skirt was torn, and she seemed to have been crying. She looked so pitiful!" Jacob quickly relayed, impeding the door's closure.
Wayne's heart sank, and he fell into a momentary silence before furrowing his brow and inquiring, "Did she say anything?"
Jacob slowly responded, "She said... you bullied her."
Wayne's fists clenched tightly. The term "bullying" struck him deeply. Was what he had done merely bullying? The actions he had previously engaged in were even more abhorrent. Why was it suddenly labeled as bullying now?
Wayne couldn't comprehend it. Why was his previous behavior deemed acceptable, but now it was deemed unacceptable?
Would everything be the same if he remained unmarried?
Suddenly, a thought emerged in Wayne's mind, making his heart jump.
Not getting married? How could he not get married!
The marriage between the Rosso and Silverman families was a win-win business. How could he possibly give up marriage for Rosalynn?
Absurd! He must have been driven mad by Rosalynn's abnormal behavior!
"Anything else?" Wayne looked up, his aura attacking indiscriminately.
