The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 2232

"Didn't listen to a word of my warning, you fool." Jacob's eyes were filled with scorn.

Rose looked around at the faces that had once been so friendly towards her, now twisted into sneers brimming with malice. She felt an intense loathing. A great fear welled up inside her.

"It's not what you think!" Rose implored earnestly, locking eyes with the crowd. "My mom said that when you get that kind of illness, death is the only true release. For Rosalynn, for her kids, it's like disarming a ticking time bomb!"

"Wayne nearly killed her, didn't you know?" she added quickly.

Everyone here, except for Hilaria, knew about that incident.

But...d2

"Look at this nutjob, trying to take a bite out of Wayne even now," Jacob sneered with thick irony. "So dumb."

"Exactly!" Paige glared at her fiercely. "After everything I've done for you? I took you in, hoping to prevent you from going down your mother's path, despite knowing what she had done. I tried to give you the warmth of our home to change you. I knew you weren't the brightest bulb, but I still supported you, gave you projects to help you grow. And this is how you repay me?"

Paige looked like she was about to kick her.

Letho, who had regained his senses for a moment, hurried to explain to Rosalynn, "Mrs. Silverman, I swear I had no idea the concoction she gave me was poisonous. She told me you had been bullying her, and that swapping the medicine was to prevent Mr. Silverman from recovering too quickly, just to prolong your agony!"

Letho was shy and not tall, and he'd never been much of a ladies' man. After arriving at Penn's lab, he fell for Rose almost at first sight. In his heart, Rose was always a gentle and kind woman.

Even to an inconspicuous chemist like him, she was polite and thoughtful. When not at work, she was either volunteering at the orphanage with Dr. Lange or helping at the animal shelter.

When Rose suddenly disappeared from the institute, Letho was beside himself with worry.

After getting in touch with Rose and hearing about her pitiful past and the bullying she'd suffered at the hands of Rosalynn, Letho's heart broke for her, and he despised the oppressive elite like Rosalynn.
