Rosalynn showed Wayne the information.
"You know, Erica's been getting a lot of bad press."
Wayne nodded.
"Well, it's all made up." Rosalynn sighed. "It's her half-sister, Kelly, who's been spreading rumors about Erica out of jealousy. At the luncheon, that woman tried to frame Erica again, but Larkin and I caught her in the act. Jacob overheard us."
Wayne got the picture, "So Jacob's been buying into these rumors all along."
Rosalynn nodded, saying, "He broke up with Erica as soon as these rumors started swirling around. He's the one who called it quits."
In the afternoon, Rosalynn asked Erica about it.
Even if she wanted to protect Kelly, she could have told Jacob it was all false accusations.
But Erica said, "I already did."
She said it calmly. But Rosalynn was taken aback.
"Jacob didn't believe me, so he dumped me," Erica added.
Those few words were why Jacob and Erica eventually broke up.
"That must have hit Jacob hard." Wayne said solemnly.
Rosalynn nodded, "That's why I had Mike keep an eye on him, to prevent him from doing anything stupid."
Wayne didn't say anything, he just held Rosalynn.
"Ivy said you had an ex-boyfriend, a real jerk, who you dated for years," Wayne started.
Rosalynn laughed, "You two must be really close now. She even spilled the beans about that."
Wayne nodded, "Darling, thank you for still forgiving me."
Wayne's voice had a touch of grievance.
Rosalynn patted his back, "Didn't we agree not to bring up the past?"
