Rosalynn knew all along that Hector didn’t buy the idea that Wayne was still kicking around.
When Quentin first tried to worm his way in, Hector had insinuated that without a will, Quentin had the right to legally grab a piece of the pie.
He suggested that Rosalynn negotiate with Quentin and hand him some cash or other goods, but not a single share of Bane Corporation, or all hell would break loose.
Hector was Wayne’s lawyer. Everything he did was to protect his client's interests to the fullest extent.
But he never entertained the thought that Wayne might still be alive.
“Let Quentin raise hell. He may have painted himself as a simple artist who doesn’t give a shit about fame and fortune. But don't be fooled, he's not a saint. He's lazy and loves an easy life. Those credible works of his are all ghostwritten. With him jumping around so much on the internet, someone's bound to knock him down a peg," Rosalynn professionally told Hector.
“Got it.” Hector nodded, “I'll leave you be then. If Quentin reaches out to me, I'll let you know.”
“Thanks, Hector.”
Hector rushed off.
Jacob watched the elevator doors close and teased Rosalynn, “Hector can be a stick in the mud sometimes. I noticed Wayne’s face has a scar. Do you think he actually believes those rumors online, thinking he's a stand-in who underwent plastic surgery to look like Wayne?”
“A lawyer should be meticulous and rigid,” Rosalynn laughed, “As for the stand-in thing… what do you think, Jacob?”
Jacob was taken aback.
The last time Rosalynn addressed him as Jacob was ages ago.
Jacob shook his head smiling, “Wayne and I grew up together, I’d be damned if I couldn’t recognize him.”
The most important thing was that Wayne had a red mole on his right hand.
How did he get it?
Jacob was to blame for that.
One day, Jacob and Wayne attended a wedding together.
They were messing around and accidentally slipped into a rose bush.
Although the workers had removed as many thorns as possible, some slipped through the cracks.
