The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1965

"Karma has a funny way of coming around, Wayne. I'll keep tabs on you from behind bars, eager to witness your comeuppance," Hector smirked elegantly.

"Hector, don't use me as an excuse to lash out at Wayne," Rosalynn retorted coolly. "Whether he'll face retribution remains to be seen. For now, you should focus on tasting your own punishment in the remainder of your life."

With that, Rosalynn took Wayne's arm and left the stifling booth.

Her knowledge of Hector was somewhat limited. She knew he was highly professional, but what she hadn't anticipated was the chain reaction their spat at the golden anniversary party would ignite.

They returned to their car in silence.

Wayne, his eyes downcast, murmured, "I'm sorry."d2

Rosalynn sighed, looking at Wayne, "Honey...it all started because of me."

"No, I've questioned Ableson thoroughly—it was my fury that had the Lawrences commit Lizzy to the asylum!" Wayne's brows furrowed deeply.

Rosalynn paused, looking at Wayne with determination. "Wayne, let's leave the past where it belongs. No matter what happens in the future, don't resort to such actions again, okay? There are always better methods to resolve things."

Throughout her years by Wayne's side, she had seen people wishing for Wayne's downfall and Wayne's even more brutal retaliation. To be honest, his swift and ruthless methods were instrumental in rapidly building up Bane Corporation in such a hostile environment. But now, he no longer needed to establish his authority through brutal suppression.

"Okay," Wayne readily agreed.

Rosalynn squeezed his hand and glanced back at the direction of the restaurant. She remembered Hector mentioning he had contemplated hurting Cory and Ivy, but couldn't go through with it. Hector had free access to Moonlit Lake. If he intended to catch them off guard, chances were he would succeed, which made Rosalynn shudder.
