The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

Chapter 12

No way! Ashley immediately took a big step forward. Not caring about whether she’d piss off Wayne, she directly hugged him from behind.

“Wayne, I can be better than her!”

Before Ashley could finish her sentence, she was suddenly pushed away by Wayne. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The force was so strong that she fell straight onto the sofa.

“What the hell are you doing?” Wayne scolded angrily.

Wayne’s face contorted in disgust, as if the person who had just clung to him was not a beautiful woman, but rather a putrid, foul–smelling piece of refuse.

“Wayne, I just wanted to help you…

Wayne had always been cold and distant towards Ashley, and even when he occasionally. showed tenderness and care, it always felt perfunctory.

It was the first time he had lost his temper with her.

Ashley had never imagined that he could be so terrifying. She was shaking with fear.

“You’re not worthy. Get out!” Wayne coldly threw this remark and went straight to the

bathroom.

Ashley sank down, collapsing in a heap. A single pearl earring belonging to Rosalynn lay scattered at her feet. Fueled by anger and resentment, she snatched it up and flung it away with force.

In Ashley’s mind, it was all Rosalynn’s fault. If Rosalynn hadn’t been there, attempting to seduce Wayne, he would have been by Ashley’s side from the beginning of the evening.

Rosalynn ran all the way to the elevator. After confirming that Wayne wouldn’t chase after her, her legs suddenly felt weak. There was no one around, so she leaned against the wall and slowly slid to the ground.

Just then, the elevator dinged open.

Rosalynn instinctively looked up, frowning. The man standing in the elevator was taken aback when he saw her.

Her curly hair was disheveled, and her beautiful eyes were watery and red. Her lips appeared somewhat swollen. Jacob was taken aback, unable to find words. It was only when he noticed her torn dress, revealing her knees, that he furrowed his brow. Without hesitation, he quickly stepped out and removed his own coat, draping it over her legs for

“Secretary Tesdal, who bullied you?”

Rosalynn had regained her composure. She brushed off Jacob’s coat, picked up dress, barely covering her legs as she got up.

“Wayne,” she answered, casting a cold glance at Jacob, “Will you, the righteous Jacob, fight for justice on my behalf?”

Jacob widened his eyes, “Wait… Wayne?”

Rosalynn said nothing more, entering the elevator just before the doors closed.

Jacob remained stunned for a while. Wayne forced himself on Rosalynn?

No one who knew Wayne would believe such a thing if they heard it.

Wayne was too proud!

Never mind Rosalynn, his substitute. When Olivia had abandoned him back then, he would rather find a replacement than chase after her and bring her back by force. He had never even uttered a word to retain her. Would he force Rosalynn?

With these thoughts, Jacob quickly headed toward Wayne’s room. He wanted to inform Wayne about the incident.

But as he walked, he saw a disheveled Ashley

“Ms. Walley, what just happened?” Jacob hurriedly asked.

Ashley glanced at Jacob, her eyes filled with redness and a sense of injustice. In that moment, Jacob couldn’t help but recall Rosalynn’s earlier gaze directed at him.

“Jacob, Rosalynn came into Wayne’s room in the middle of the night, attempting to seduce him,” Ashley revealed, her voice laced with bitterness. “She provoked him to the point where he yelled at both of us!”

Jacob’s confusion deepened, his eyebrows furrowing. So, Rosalynn had indeed been in Wayne’s room earlier? The pieces of the puzzle started to come together in his mind..
