The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1992

Just like that, the conversation abruptly shifted from a murder case to the pressures and difficulties faced by the modern youth.

"If you ask me, it's these entrepreneurs who lack conscience. Take our local Bane Corporation, for example. They make so much money. Can't they pay their employees a little more?"

Suddenly the Wayne couple found themselves in the hot seat.

"Your kid doesn't work for Bane Corporation, does he? They pay pretty well. My son works in one of their research departments. He's just a junior researcher, but with bonuses and allowances, he makes about 200 thousand a year. Not bad at all!"

"Is that supposed to impress me? Haven't you seen the news? The CEO's son, he's still a little kid, is hailed as a genius engineer. He's just a figurehead, but I heard they pay him millions, even billions, a year! Your son's salary is just a drop in the bucket!"

"Oh, forget it. You're just jealous of the rich!"d2

The two old men, who had been sharing a table, suddenly split up. They each took their meals to separate tables.

Rosalynn didn't seem bothered.

Geniuses are few and far between, not everyone can accept their existence.

She even found the old men's squabble quite amusing.

"We should look into improving employee benefits," Rosalynn murmured.

At first, Wayne was a bit uncomfortable.

But seeing Rosalynn thoroughly enjoying the local gossip, he gradually relaxed, "Sure."

Soon, the local chit-chat in the diner smoothly shifted through several topics.

In the end, it circled back to the initial topic when Rosalynn and Wayne first sat down.

"We need to be honest. Now that something has happened in the park, we need to keep an eye on our kids and avoid the park for a while," a woman earnestly advised. "If some lunatic hurts them, they won't be held responsible. We'll just have to chalk it up to bad luck!"

"Right, this is serious!"

"I'll pick up my grandchild from school later and tell her on the way!"

Rosalynn went to the cashier to pay.
