The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

It couldn't be traced now, because Natalie had used her financial muscles, sweeping clear any trace that could possibly be removed.

Back in the day, it was the talk of the town among the elite.

International media had plastered images of Ayden's fiancée's body when it was found.

"Whether it's true or not, who knows after over thirty years?" Rosalynn didn't directly answer the question. "All I know is my gut tells me to keep that woman away from Wayne."

"But do you really need to keep her close to you, then?"

"Hmm..." Rosalynn pondered for a moment, swirling her glass of wine. "I sense there's something off about her that I haven't figured out yet. Plus... she's really not a fan of me being a CEO and making bank in a man's world."d2

Jacob was shocked.

"Wasn't she raised by Natalie? How could she harbor such thoughts? She doesn't believe that women should be subservient, does she?"

"Pretty much," Rosalynn said nonchalantly. "So I'm showing her around the new world."

"You're that generous?" Jacob was skeptical.

Rosalynn immediately adopted an innocent tone, "Jacob, I've always been known for my kind heart, universally acknowledged."

Jacob didn't deny it; Rosalynn had a point. Back when Rosalynn was about to resign, the staff in Wayne's office were as mournful as if they'd lost a family member. Some even considered quitting.

Any team that had worked with Rosalynn, no matter how much they disliked her at the beginning, ended up respecting her.

But since Rosalynn was no longer Secretary Tesdal, Jacob saw her in a new light.

Her kindness wasn't indiscriminate, especially not towards someone she herself found questionable and whose values she scoffed at.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Jacob didn't press further. He was an adult, and incessant probing like a child was beneath him.

After lunch, Rosalynn headed back to H City, and Jacob personally drove her to the airport.

Rose and the other staff members who had dined with Rosalynn were already waiting.

Glancing at Jacob, she found his respect for Rosalynn was palpable.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Jacob. I'll be sure to celebrate with you when you hit your big win," Rosalynn offered some polite pleasantries. "Sure, tell your grandma I'll swing by for dinner once I'm free!" Jacob nodded.

"Will do," Rosalynn replied, returning the nod.

After exchanging farewells with the others, Jacob turned and left.

"Ms. Tesdal, President Scott just called. The bidding is over, and the results have been sent to your email," Karl approached Rosalynn and spoke softly. Rosalynn acknowledged with a nod.

The company in Berlin that had been dealing with Rosalynn ended up with less than a third of the orders. After confirming the details, she told Karl, "Rearrange my schedule. I need half a day to meet with Jaime."

"Right away!" Karl responded promptly.

Rose followed behind Rosalynn, unable to get a word in and feeling utterly out of place with the entire group.
