The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 1962

Chapter 1962 

“What happened to the Lawrences?” Rosalynn asked, her voice weighed down by concern. 

The Lawrence Group may have lost their former glory over the years, but they were still a respected old-money family. 

It was hard to believe that the Lawrences had run into trouble without any hint of it in the rumor mill. 

Hector, hearing Rosalynn’s question, let out a laugh without uttering a word. “Rosalynn, you’re known for your generosity, always handing out opportunities… but why couldn’t you give my sister one?” 

Rosalynn paused, taken aback. 

A memory resurfaced of Lizzy Lawrence, the girl who’d always found ways to challenge her, at the golden anniversary of an elderly couple at the Lawrence Group.d2 

“She was just jealous of you, but you’ve had your revenge, haven’t you?” Hector looked at Rosalynn with despair in his eyes. “That was my only sister. Wayne forced me to commit her to a mental institution, driving her to madness. She was only 24! Just 24!!” 

His voice escalated to a hysterical yell. 

“Hector.” Wayne, who’d been silent all this time, spoke up with a chilling indifference. 

Hector froze momentarily. He then looked up at Wayne, his eyes bloodshot. 

“Lizzy was the one who did wrong, and it was your family, the Lawrences, who made the decision,” Wayne said calmly. devoid of any emotion. “After my situation, you had plenty of opportunities to bring her out, but you chose your interests over her. Why am I to blame now?” 

The muscles in Hector’s face twitched. His expression slowly twisted into a grimace. 

“You think I didn’t investigate what happened to you before I came here? I did.” Wayne continued, “Rosalynn said you were always one of the few people I trusted. You betrayed me, so naturally, I sought answers.” 

Hector suddenly became agitated. 

“You knew? You knew all along and you still ask why I did it?!” He slammed his hand on the table, roaring in anger. Instinctively, Wayne moved to shield Rosalynn. 

“What exactly happened?” Rosalynn asked, a frown knitting her brows. She sensed there was more to Lizzy’s case than met the eye. 

“A few months ago, Hector took his wife and children to visit Lizzy. While he was away, Lizzy lit a can of gasoline in the car, resulting in her own death and the deaths of Hector’s families,” Wayne explained, his eyes lowered as he condensed a horrific event into a simple sentence. 

But Rosalynn was totally shocked. 

She had met Hector’s wife a couple of times a gentle and serene woman. 

“But there weren’t any news… 

Rosalynn didn’t finish her sentence, because she suddenly understood. 

For the Lawrences, who valued family honor above all else, this was the only choice,” Wayne added.
