Chapter 1997
Rosalynn’s eyes widened in surprise before shaking her head, “Of course not, boy. You’re thinking of going solo?”
“Yep!” Cory nodded firmly.
Rosalynn chuckled before turning to Wayne, “Mr. Silverman, you better keep up with your fitness routine. Your son wants to fly solo and now you might just have to rely on your grandson to take over your legacy.”
Wayne laughed helplessly. While others are fighting for the control of the business, here I am hoping to hold on for a bit longer.”
Rosalynn laughed.c2
As they were entering the elevator, Mike returned. He got out of his car and locked eyes with Rosalynn. For once, Mike wasn’t his usual goofy self.
He solemnly nodded at Rosalynn, who averted her gaze.
The elevator doors closed.
The camping trip was quickly scheduled, it was set for the following weekend,
They were going to revisit the same forest where they had camped before.
After dinner, they all sat down to plan what they needed to bring.
Rosalynn excused herself, pretending to answer a phone call.
She went to meet Mike.
Mike showed Rosalynn the medical report of the injured man.
“Is it really this severe?” Rosalynn furrowed her brow as she read the report.
Three broken ribs, one of which nearly punctured a lung, left eye nearly blinded.
On top of that, two broken fingers, a shattered left arm, and a fractured right shin.
Various degrees of abrasions on the scalp.
Just by reading the report, Rosalynn could tell Wayne had not held back.
“Thankfully, the injuries were not life-threatening. Otherwise, this would have turned into a major incident,” Mike responded, “I’ve also visited the victim’s family. Besides the beaten man, there’s only an elderly woman and the child Mr. Silverman was trying to protect.”
That was in line with what Wayne had mentioned. The child was now staying with the grandmother.
However, something felt off to Rosalynn.
“The victim has agreed to settle the matter, but demands half million in compensation, Mike continued.
“Fine, but aside from medical expenses, the rest of the money will go directly to the boy and the elderly woman,” Rosalynn declared.
Mike looked puzzled, “The boy?”
“Isn’t it?” Rosalynn was taken aback.
