Chapter 2080
Penn preferred the Rosalynn after she became Gabriella - an embodiment of freedom, like an eagle soaring in the sky. Thus, he often referred to her as Ms. Jared, a title that reflected her strength and independence.
He had seen her in many states, but this was a first. She appeared so delicate, as if one brush might cause her to crumble into pieces.
"Don't worry, he won't be harmed," Penn reassured her gently but firmly.
Rosalynn glanced at the screen one more time, "I need to know why Wayne has split into this alter personality, Ayden."
"I wish I knew too."
By the time Rosalynn left the research institute, it was past noon. She'd been so engrossed in monitoring Wayne's room that she had missed a video call from her daughter.d2
Knowing that Rosalynn had gone out with Jaime, Ivy decided to take a nap after a quick call with her uncle.
"Rosa, are we heading back?" Jaime asked cautiously as they got into the car.
Rosalynn turned her gaze away from the window and shook her head, "I brought you with me today because I have something important for you to do. We'll go shopping for a couple of good suits later. Tomorrow, we're meeting some people."
"Huh?" Jaime was taken aback.
"You don't plan to spend your whole life playing video games, do you?" Rosalynn asked.
Jaime grumbled, "I thought I could be your helper when you need me..."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Rosalynn, her face pale, chuckled without humor, "From now on, I need you to start working."
"Who are we meeting tomorrow? What for?" Jaime asked.
"Baillie and I have been discussing starting a medical chip manufacturing venture. The team he's put together is based in Berlin. Since we're already here, we might as well meet them tomorrow," Rosalynn said calmly.
Jaime nodded in understanding, "Baillie mentioned this. We've always been held back in this field back home. So, he wants to develop it independently. But this won't be easy. The elite experts don't make it easy for us to adopt their technology."
"We can't let obstacles stop us, can we?" Rosalynn answered, "The more challenges we face, the more we need to push forward. If we can make a breakthrough, it will be beneficial for both the Jared Group and the Scott family. In the future, if Cory and Ivy really want to enjoy life without lifting a finger, they won't have to worry about money."
Jaime didn't see anything wrong with the idea of his niece and nephew living a relaxed life.
Instead, he wondered how much money would be enough for them to live comfortably without worrying about funds.
"Wait a minute!" Jaime suddenly realized, "Are you asking me to join the project?"
"Why else?" Rosalynn turned to him, "I'm already occupied with the things of Bane Corporation, the Jared Group, and Jered Ventures. You expect me to also oversee such a big project? Don't you care about my wellbeing?"
"I do!" Jaime clutched his heart dramatically.
"Then, it's settled."
"But I don't have any experience in this..."
"Then you'll start from scratch with Baillie." Rosalynn paused before adding, "Jaime, I trust you. In my eyes, you can do anything."
This made Jaime feel invigorated, like he was shot with adrenaline.
He patted his chest confidently, "Well, leave it to me. I might not like Baillie, but I'll prove myself to you! I'll ensure that Cory and Ivy have enough to live comfortably."
Rosalynn saw Jaime's spirit renew. He wasn't as listless as before.
She smiled faintly. Then, leaning back against the headrest, she said tiredly, "I need a quick nap. Keep it down."
