The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 1972

Chapter 1972 

Pain ricocheted through Wayne’s temples and chest, making every breath a challenge. 

He didn’t want to hear the boy’s compromise, he turned and left, pushing the door behind him. 

Natalie looked up, her voice ringing out like a chilling spell. “Wayne, being born here is both your fortune and your curse. If you want to survive, if you want those around you to survive, then you need to strike first! Show no mercy, kill if you must, only then can you secure your place at the top. Only then will you become an untouchable force.” 

With a bang, the door slid shut. 

Wayne felt as if he was drowning, his surroundings shifting back to his bedroom. 

He collapsed onto the couch, his forehead slick with cold sweat, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. 

“See? I told you so. A voice echoed again.e2 

Hector, who had already been apprehended, sat on the table opposite Wayne. His long legs swinging back and forth, his face sporting a smile that was both familiar and foreign to Wayne. 

“Rosalynn isn’t as forgiving as you think. You either tread carefully for the rest of your life, or risk being discarded at a moment’s notice, Hector shrugged. “But you, Wayne, are inherently malicious. You can’t refrain from doing evil, so I was certain I’d witness your downfall. And look, here it comes…” 

“Shut up!” Wayne glared at Hector, “Speak another word of nonsense, and I’ll make sure you suffer!” 

Once the words left his mouth, the smile on Hector’s face grew even more eerie, 

Then, right before Wayne’s eyes, Hector slowly disappeared 

A fear like none other gripped Wayne’s heart. 

He got up, intending to grab some medicine to swallow 

But his injured leg felt as heavy as lead, refusing to budge 

With great difficulty, he managed to get hold of the pill bottle. His hand trembling, he poured out a handful of pills and shoved them into his mouth. Without water, he swallowed them dry. 

Wayne knew that the images of Quentin, Maddie, and even Natalie, were all hallucinations brought on by his heightened stress, not real 

Once he took the medicine, they would all disappear. 

“Are you still not awake yet?” 

Once the medicine was down, a pair of polished shoes appeared in his line of sight, 

Wayne was kneeling on the floor, pills scattered around him. 

He slowly looked up, only to see a more robust, younger version of himself, locking down at him with an air of superiority and indifference 

He was dressed in a crisp black suit. 

The diamond cufflinks on his sleeves gave off a blinding cold light. 

With a look of contempt, as if a god looking down on a mere insect, he twirled his cufflink 

“You thought hiding me away and transforming into the obedient version Rosalynn likes would ensure a happy ever after?” He sneered, “But look at you now. What did you get after abandoning me, your true self? Wayne, it’s time to stop………” 

“It’s your Wayne gasped for breath. “You made me send Liam away, you gave me the idea to kill Viola and her family!”
