Robert just stood there, totally bamboozled.
He couldn't wrap his head around it. Rosalynn, who clearly didn't love Wayne, why on earth did she show up? Plus, he had her at gunpoint and she didn't seem to give a damn.
"Rosalynn, I don't want to hurt you. Get out now while you still can," Robert said sternly, "Wayne's death can only benefit you. After all, you two are legally married. If he dies, Bane Corporation, the Silverman Group, and all his assets will be yours."
Rosalynn made sure Wayne was still in one piece.
Now, all she needed to do was to stall as much as possible until the cavalry arrived. Being alone, she had zero chance to unlock all these locks.
Before that, she needed to keep Robert cool-headed.
Or manipulate him.
"I need a will," Rosalynn turned and looked at Robert, "Do you know how many people are in the Silverman Group? All those distant relatives, without a will, they'll be like vultures circling over Wayne's estate. That would be a pain in the ass."
Robert was dumbfounded, "You came here, not to save him?" Robert asked.
Rosalynn, at a blind spot of Robert, squeezed Wayne's hand hard.
Then she let go of him, stood up and faced Robert.
"Robert, don't play dumb. You've done your homework, haven't you? His treatment towards me was nothing but oppression and coercion. If it wasn't for my childhood sweetheart, for not wanting to be separated from my kids, and for the massive fortune of Bane Corporation and the Silverman Group, I wouldn't have married him. Now that I have the chance to get away from him, why wouldn't I take it?"
After listening to her, Robert looked at Wayne, who was as white as a sheet.
"Did you hear that?" he asked him, "I told you. She doesn't love you."
"So, do you have a pen and paper here? I need him to write me a will. Once it's done, I can leave. It won't mess with your plan."
