The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1382

He simply took Caleb's words for granted.

"Why should I care how Annie got in touch with Robert?" Rosalynn's voice was cold. "All I know is that Annie was involved, Caleb. You're quite the smooth talker, so keep going. I want to hear how you're going to absolve her of blame."

Caleb's face was getting darker by the second. "I've already told you. Ms. Annie was deceived by Robert!"

"You're in love with her, Louis is her father, you can both find all kinds of excuses for her. I'm the victim here, why are you asking me to find reasons for the perpetrator, to prove her innocence?"

"Mrs. Silverman, you also have a responsibility for Ms. Heatherway's tragedy!" Caleb was gradually becoming agitated.

"What responsibility? Didn't you check each other's background before the marriage? You knew nothing about my existence?" Rosalynn asked sharply. "More importantly, what kind of life Heatherway wanted to live after breaking off the engagement was up to her. If you're looking for someone to blame... it should be Louis. He didn't care about his daughter at all, leading her down the wrong path. He's even worse than Robert. At least Robert never gave up on trying to save Heatherway. But when Heatherway lost her usefulness, he chose to abandon her without any hesitation."

"You!" Louis' eyes widened.

"Did I say something wrong?" Rosalynn looked at him fearlessly. "Let me tell you, you're not gonna get away with trying to put some nonexistent crimes on me and Wayne, to morally blackmail me. It's not gonna happen."

With that, Rosalynn crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.

"Let's stop wasting time here, take a look at the contract. If you guys don't agree with it, I think we are done here."

At her words, Louis and Caleb immediately got flustered.

"Mrs. Silverman, this cooperation was agreed upon by President Silverman and us. What do you mean by we’re done?"

"Yeah, we've already invested a lot of manpower and resources in the preliminary stage!"

After the Rosso family folks finished speaking, Rosalynn simply replied, "Whether we cooperate or not, the decision lies with the Rosso family, not with me."
