The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2230

Ever since Rose had settled into Moonlit Lake, she’d been on cloud nine, buzzing with optimism about her future.

Just earlier, as she walked through the door, her mind danced with thoughts of the feast she was sure awaited her tonight.

But she was wrong. It was all a big, fat lie!

With a venomous glare, she turned to Rosalynn, her eyes brimming with vengeful tears. “Rosalynn, those who betray the loyal won’t end up on easy street! Whatever my mother did has nothing to do with me. If you can’t find it in your heart to trust me, if you’d rather play me for a fool, then I see no reason to stick around. Now that Wayne’s back, you’ve got no grounds to keep me here. I quit!”

With that declaration, Rose turned to leave—but the sound of Rosalynn’s soft chuckle stopped her dead in her tracks. A knot tightened in her chest as she sensed the trap she’d walked into.

Quickening her pace toward the exit, she reached the door only for it to swing open in front of her, revealing a man about 5’7” with thin hair, yet with eyes as pale as a winter sky.d2

The sight of him was like a bolt from the blue.

“Hello, Rose.” Letho greeted her with a sly grin. “Dr. Lange sent me with some meds. He took off with President Silverman and the team on a private jet back to H Country. My flight got delayed, just touched down a while ago.”

He was surprised. The task of guarding the meds was supposed to fall to someone else. But that someone had taken ill with a nasty case of food poisoning, so Penn had tapped Letho to fill in.

Letho was buzzing with excitement. After all, Rose had promised that once the job was done, she’d consider dating him.

Rose, however, felt a chill run down her spine. If she hadn’t realized this was a setup by now, she’d be a fool.
