The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

After dinner, Hilaria summoned Rosalynn to the study.

"Here, you can deliver this to the Strand boy tomorrow." Hilaria handed over a leather document pouch to Rosalynn.

Rosalynn took it and nodded, "Let's hope Jacob steps up his game this time. It'd be a shame for your kindness to go unnoticed."

"Don't worry about it. I've had a look at the lad's business dealings before; He used to be content playing second fiddle to Wayne, but he's got potential," Hilaria said with earnest approval. "Mhm," Rosalynn hummed in agreement.

"Alright then, you've got an early start tomorrow. Off you go, get some rest," Hilaria patted Rosalynn's hand gently.d2

Leaving the study, Rosalynn bumped into Erica, who had been lingering nearby.

Rosalynn chuckled upon seeing her, "Waiting for someone?"

Erica quickly stepped forward, pulling Rosalynn into a corner, "What's that you're holding?"

"It's something for Jacob tomorrow." Rosalynn replied.

"Oh," Erica thought for a moment before saying, "I heard about Lenora's ordeal."

Erica had a wide social circle back in the day because of Jacob. Among them, there were ladies who knew Lenora. Though Lenora wasn't hospitalized, the news spread like wildfire; there are no secrets that time does not reveal.

In the past few days, the word had gotten out. Some ladies and young heiresses, under the guise of letting Erica know that justice had been served, told her all about it.

"It's ridiculous; I've deleted all of their contacts, and I don't even use the old number anymore, but they still found a way to reach me!" Erica said with a disgusted expression, "What justice? What grudge do I have? I'm doing just fine now!"

"Don't let it get to you," Rosalynn advised sensibly. "Most of these people have probably been bullied by Lenora in the past. You know how she was - she was notoriously mean to a lot of people." Erica laughed out loud, "You do have a way with words."

"Hilaria has looked into it. It might just be a temporary breakdown. With proper treatment, there's a chance for recovery," Rosalynn continued, "Don't worry about it."

"I'm not worried, it's just..." Erica glanced at Rosalynn, "Larkin said if the Carters can be of any help, don't hesitate to ask."

"You two are too kind..." Rosalynn smiled warmly, "I'll mention it to Jacob."

"He's got his pride. Don't bring me or Larkin up, just suggest a top-notch doctor!" Erica said hastily. She genuinely wanted to help, but she also truly wished to avoid any further entanglement with Jacob. "Got it," Rosalynn drew out her words playfully, "I need to head to the airport at four tomorrow, so I better get some rest."

"Sure, go ahead," Erica nodded, waving at Rosalynn with a sweet smile.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Rosalynn headed upstairs, smiling to herself. Upon reflection, Jacob and Erica were indeed from different worlds.

But Larkin and Erica, their souls were perfectly aligned.

Both were incredibly devoted to love-Erica had waited for an ex for sixteen years, and Larkin even gave up his monastic life, waiting for someone he barely knew for a decade. Both were kind-hearted.

Whether it was their generous efforts to save Jacob before or their offer to lend a hand upon learning of Lenora's sudden affliction, these gestures spoke volumes.

This couple was full of goodwill and magnanimity, both generous and compassionate souls.

No sooner had Rosalynn left than Larkin came looking for Erica, "How did it go?"

Erica nestled into Larkin's embrace, mumbling, "Can you believe it? She sees me once, then goes home and loses her mind... It looks like my fault!"
