The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 16

Ashley went on, "At first, she sold herself to Wayne for money. Recently, Wayne got bored of her and dumped her. And now, she's got her eyes on you! I couldn't bear to see you get fooled, so I had to let you know!"

There was a brief pause as Evan processed Ashley's response. He then looked up at her, his gaze unwavering. "And?" he questioned, expecting more from her.

Ashley, taken aback by his persistence, echoed his word, "And?"

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Evan continued, "Miss, I, Evan, never form opinions about people I care for solely based on hearsay and idle chatter."

With those words, he concluded his statement, walking past Ashley without glancing back.

As he departed, Ashley remained rooted in place, a shiver running down her spine, feeling the weight of his message sink in.

Rosalynn dismissed Paige and hastily made her way back to her residence. She quickly prepared herself, changing her clothes, and getting ready to head to the company.

The problem with Prodigy Inc. had been resolved, and to prevent any further complications, she had to accompany the sales department to Prodigy Inc. to sign the contract.

Upon opening her wardrobe, Rosalynn hesitated for a moment. Although she seldom visited Wayne's residence, Wayne came over quite often. At first, he didn't spend the night, then gradually stayed over, and finally even spent weekends here. Even President Silverman would get bored of Michelin-starred chef's dishes eventually. At her place, he mostly enjoyed the homemade meals she cooked. Therefore, her place had quite a bit of Wayne's stuff – dress shoes, sneakers, and slippers in the shoe cabinet, his razor and shower gel in the bathroom, and half of his suits in the closet.

As Rosalynn pondered the situation, she couldn't shake the strange feeling that she was actually living with Wayne.

"I really need to find a new place as soon as possible," she muttered, quickly grabbing a suit from the back of her wardrobe and changing into it.

"What are you all sulking about? Lost one deal and now you don't care about performance anymore?" Douglas came back from outside and began to scold his subordinates!
