The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 5

"It's okay." Wayne said casually, trying to comfort Ashley.

Ashley hid behind him, acting like she was terrified of Rosalynn.

Rosalynn was speechless.

"Rosalynn, can't she accuse you? I can, right?" Wayne's voice was cold and cutting.

Rosalynn was caught off guard, her eyes welling up with tears. Wayne... didn't have faith in her.

Wayne selected a few data sheets from the file and passed them to Rosalynn. "Even if someone else tampered with the data, your signature is on these, isn't it?"

"Yes." Rosalynn replied.

"Then you're responsible." Wayne declared Rosalynn guilty, "I'll give you three days to sort this out. If not, I will call the police."

Rosalynn stared at him, feeling a hint of resentment, but she quickly suppressed it.

Whether or not she had anything to do with the matter, Wayne knew deep down.

Maybe disappointment wasn't the right word to discribe her mood.

Wayne had always been a vengeful person. She had volunteered to leave and forcefully rejected his attempts to keep her. If Wayne didn't kill her, it meant he had been merciful.

However, Rosalynn knew that she was not responsible for the entire situation. She refused to be made a scapegoat.

"Fine," Rosalynn responded with unwavering fearlessness.

Wayne's eyes darkened, unsettled by her stubborn and fearless demeanor. Without saying a word, he turned back towards his office, with Ashley closely trailing behind him.

As Ashley cast a glance at Rosalynn, a smug sense of triumph emanated from her.

Soon, rumors of Rosalynn betraying the company spread throughout Bane Corporation.

Rosalynn no longer had an office, so she took her laptop and went to the company library.

She had been monitoring the entire process of the Douglas project, and it was a perfect plan in every way.

She had personally done research on Prodigy Inc.'s demands, so the proposal should have been flawless and Prodigy Inc. would have approved it without a doubt.

What a pity!

At lunchtime.

Rosalynn bought a sandwich and sat down in a quiet place. She took a bite and responded to Paige's text.

When Paige found out about the situation, she immediately called Rosalynn.

"Find the culprit! Find them and make them confess!" Paige exclaimed angrily, punctuating her words with a stomping foot. "Clear your name! And while you're at it, give them a good beating!"

Rosalynn responded with a somber tone, "But the significant deal still fell through. Many people dedicated months of work to this, and it shouldn't have ended like this."

"Rosa, do you have a plan?" Paige asked.

"I will catch them, and I will fight for this deal!" Rosalynn replied with determination.

"I will not be slandered!"

"What can I do to help?" Paige asked without hesitation.

"There's a cruise party tomorrow night, and the boss of Prodigy Inc., Wallace Mason, will be attending. I'm going to bring the proposal and find him."

"I know of this party, and I should be able to get your invitations. But, I've heard from my stepfather that Wallace is notorious for being strict. Your proposal already had a flaw..."

Paige left it at that.

"How will I know if I don't try?" Rosalynn decided.

Paige: "Alright, girl, I'll help you!"

"When this is over, I'll treat you to a fancy dinner!" Rosalynn said with a laugh.

"You bet!" Paige replied excitedly. "By the way, don't mess around with your outfit. Let's go shopping right now!"
