Chapter 1163
Casually holding a book and sauntering down the stairs, Cory had just given him a big surprise.
As he stepped out the door, Jaime’s call came in.
Jaime, who was obviously spooked, had a whiny tone to his voice. “Cory, that was way out of line!”
Cory remained cool as a cucumber. “Was it really that scary?”
“You’re the mastermind behind this and you’re asking me?” Jaime shouted back
“I’m just a kid. I can’t handle scary stuff, so I just had the system send out some random creepy things. I didn’t actually look at any of it
Jaime: “…..”
This kid, his self-preservation instincts are off the charts
He’s definitely Rosalynn’s son alright!
“Could you please avoid scaring my sister in the future?” came Cory’s polite request from the other end of the phone.
Jaime couldn’t help but think of the scary face he just saw.
He quickly detected a hint of threat in Cory’s polite tone.
“I got it! I got it! She was the one who claimed not to be afraid of bugs!” Jaime replied, half laughing, half crying. “By the way, when is your holiday? You still going to Bane Corporation? Want to swing by my place?”
“No, thanks. I’m off to soak up some sun. Later Cory hung up.
Do adults nowadays even know that hiring child labor is illegal? Cory shook his head.
As Ivy reappeared, she had completely let go of her fear of bugs and was once again engrossed in playful activities on the grass.
Cory went back to his small stool, resuming his sunbathing session.
Observing from afar, Rosalynn watched him with admiration. With such a spirited nature, he could outshine many grown-ups,” she remarked, impressed by his calm and collected demeanor.
Wayne nodded in agreement, but his expression quickly changed as he received a call from Hector.
The smile on his face vanished instantly, and he held Rosalynas hand tightly as he answered the phone.
“President Silverman, isn’t the list of people you want to sue a bit excessive? Hector asked, clearly overwhelmed.
“You sue who I tell you to sue. Don’t worry, your lawyer’s fee is assured Wayne replied nonchalantly.
“Alright.” Hector agreed reluctantly. “After the results of the appraisal came out. Olivia fainted and was taken to the hospital. She just woke up and has been calling non-stop, saying she wants to see you.”
Wayne’s expression turned stern. “No. Do I need to repeat myself?” he replied firmly.
“Alright, alright. I understand my role. But it’s worth considering that she saved your life. The media might not react favorably if they perceive you as heartless,” Hector responded diplomatically.
The mere thought of it infuriated Wayne.
Rosalynn noticed the change in his demeanor and shifted her gaze from Cory to Wayne
In response to her concerned look, Wayne’s anger began to subside.
Til handle it. You just focus on your job,” Wayne stated before ending the call.
“Olivia is trying to use the fact that she saved my life as leverage to manipulate me!” Wayne uttered coldly.
