The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2262

Rose froze for a moment, her mind racing with confusion.

"I've given it some thought, the twisted logic behind your wish for Wayne's demise," Penn said, pacing leisurely in front of Rose. "At the core, your motives differ from your mother's.

Your mother Yvette wanted Ayden gone because she couldn't stand to see her sister in a loving relationship with someone else. Plus, she harbored a naive crush on Ayden, and if she couldn't have him, she'd rather see him destroyed.

But you... aside from the twisted maternal mandate, you yearned to be part of the fabric of Rosalynn's world, didn't you? To bask in her kindness, her nurturing support. Her friends and family treated you well, and you coveted that, stubbornly believing Wayne would follow in Ayden's doomed footsteps.

You feared that Wayne would be Rosalynn's downfall, disrupting the warmth and happiness of her life, and in the worst-case scenario, Rosalynn could end up like Betsy—dead by Wayne's hand, especially since he showed signs of danger towards her before his treatment began.

So, unlike your mother who covertly switched medications, you chose a more ruthless way—a single lethal injection intended for Wayne.d2

"I made a mistake!" Rose collapsed, tears streaming down her face as she knelt before Penn. "Penn, you know it, I've been brainwashed by mom since I was little. I couldn't control the urge to do those things! Take me back to Munich, I'll never step foot in the H Country again, I'll steer clear of Rosalynn and her life. Penn, can't we go back to being just us, like before..."

Penn looked down at the pitiful figure before him and chuckled—a sound that sent shivers down Rose's spine. She looked up at him in shock.

Penn slowly crouched down, tilting his head as he gazed at Rose as if she were some amusing thing.

His voice dripped with sarcasm. "But you disrespected my late parents."
