The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 169

Rosalynn felt a bit awkward, as if her thoughts were exposed.

"Did you give Paige a new project?" Rosalynn went straight to the point, her tone slightly harsh.

Wayne responded, "I gave her a project to work on, and you're mad at me?"

"Wayne, what are you trying to do? I'm staying by your side, can't you stay away from Noah and Paige?" Rosalynn asked seriously.

She had seen too many of Wayne's tactics. Many victims he had trapped were at a disadvantage because of his initial extravagance.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" he asked, his voice was low.

When Rosalynn didn't answer, Wayne continued, "I just want you to be a little happier because of your friends' successes. It would be as easy for me to deal with them as crushing an ant, there's no need to bother with tricks."

Rosalynn was startled.

She had considered many reasons for Wayne's actions, but none of which included making her happy.

"I see..." Rosalynn's anger slowly faded.

Wayne still seemed somewhat annoyed, and Rosalynn listened to his breathing, unsure whether to hang up the phone.

"Old Mrs. Jared's friend passed away," Rosalynn whispered. "She's very sad, even passed out."

"Well," Wayne responded.

"I won't be going back to the city tonight, and I want to take a leave tomorrow to help Old Mrs. Jared to take care of things," Rosalynn continued.

"Rosalynn, you wronged me, don't you know how to apologize?" Wayne asked bluntly.

Rosalynn: "..."

She hesitated for a moment, as it involved Paige. She didn't want this young master to lose his temper and brought trouble to Paige...

"I'm sorry." She paused, then added, "I shouldn't have thought so badly of you."

Wayne let out a cold laugh. "Be back by dinner tomorrow."

"I know..."
