The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love
Chapter 2079

"That night, I was so close, so damn close to strangling her. If she was dead, all your pain would've disappeared!"

A jolt of shock coursed through Wayne, with a burst of wild energy, he tried to leap off the bed.

But his body was restrained by the medical straps tying him to the hospital bed.

He fought against his bonds with all his might, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the person opposite him. "I won't let you off so easily," he roared. "I'll kill you with my own hands! Even if it means going down with you, I won't let you hurt my wife!"

His scream was a strident cry of desperation.

The office wasn't far from the patient room, but due to the soundproofing, Rosalynn didn't hear a peep. She felt a tight knot in her chest, her breath hitching.d2

Watching Wayne struggle violently, the bed frame hitting against the floor and walls, creating a grating noise.

"Do everything you can to prevent him from getting hurt," Rosalynn told Penn.

An interesting coincidence was that the first time Penn met Wayne was also the first time he met Rosalynn.

Natalie Stein had come to accept her genetic defect, but she was resistant to the idea of Penn meeting Wayne so soon. However, Penn was quite curious about Wayne.

That year, he had received a prestigious award. Natalie was delighted and agreed to celebrate Penn's birthday after he finished his busy schedule.

The initial plan was for Natalie to travel to Penn's city, but just before she was about to leave, she fainted in her office, and the plan was canceled. Worried, Penn flew back to visit her. After seeing Natalie, Penn still had two days of his vacation left, so he decided to visit Bane Corporation. He sat at a coffee shop near the entrance of Bane Corporation.

Not long after he arrived, he spotted a girl. She was very pretty, but exceedingly pale. She held a business card in her hand, lingering around the first floor of Bane Corp Center.

As evening fell, Wayne finally appeared, surrounded by a crowd.

The girl hesitated momentarily, looked at her phone screen, then with a resolved look, approached Wayne.

Wayne, aloof and godlike, merely glanced at her, leaving his assistant to handle her, and walked away briskly. His indifferent demeanor was starkly different from his current desperation for love. When Penn saw Rosalynn again, she was Wayne's new secretary.

Later, the young secretary evolved into a gentle woman who, Penn believed, possessed immense strength. During a meal with Natalie, she also mentioned Rosalynn.

She said, "She's a good girl, with a strong core. It's just her face that's the problem. Wayne is giving her a hard time. Yesterday, I saw a bruise on her wrist... Penn, is he about to have an episode?"

That was the last time Penn saw a lucid Natalie.

Natalie rarely praised anyone, and Penn started to get curious of how long someone like Rosalynn, who seemed to have no sharp edges, temper, or character, could last beside Wayne.

But then everything happened. Rosalynn became Gabriella Jared, and Penn saw the fierce edge and decisive ruthlessness in her.

Finally, he understood why Natalie said she had a strong core.
