When Rosalynn first came into Wayne's life, she had no inkling that he had an uncle.
It was about six months later, at a Silverman family gathering, Rosalynn was delivering a tie to Wayne.
She arrived just in time to hear Maddie Fuller mention the older brother, the atmosphere of the gathering was pleasant until that point.
Back then, Natalie was still healthy, always maintaining an air of authority.
That day, her mood was visibly upbeat. But who would have thought... the moment Maddie mentioned the elder brother, Natalie's face soured.
Rosalynn, being new to this, was quite frightened by the sudden change. Later, she discovered that Natalie had an older son, who was groomed to be the heir of the family, but he died at a young age.d2
From then on, Ayden’s existence became a taboo in the Silverman Group.
Maddie didn’t bring up Ayden unintentionally that day. Natalie had just vetoed one of Maddie’s major projects. And Maddie, of course, didn’t consider it was her own fault. She was convinced that Natalie was trying to show her who's boss now that Wayne's Bane Corporation was expanding, intentionally tripping her up on the project.
With the mentality that if Natalie wasn't going to let her have her way, she wouldn't let Natalie have hers, Maddie deliberately mentioned Ayden when Natalie was at her happiest.
Rosalynn remembered that Maddie had said something along the lines of, "On such a happy day, I can’t help but think of our elder brother. He was far more intelligent than Wayne's father. Such a pity he didn’t leave any descendants..."
No one expected that years later, Maddie’s words would come back to haunt her.
The office was quiet, Penn lit some calming incense and pulled down the blackout curtains, revealing the city's night view.
Rosalynn sat there. Page by page, she went through the files related to Ayden.
When Ayden first fell ill, he was 19 and had skipped several grades to become the youngest doctoral candidate at Stanford.
Rosalynn thought, no wonder Ayden had always been Natalie's pride and joy.
No wonder she used such despicable means to preserve Ayden's lineage.
