Zenobia was quickly taken downstairs.
There was a storage room. Osborn and Viola had been locked up there for the past couple of days.
"Zenobia must be dead!" Viola was huddled up in the corner, muttering neurotically, "It's all my fault..."
Osborn tried to comfort her after seeing this.
But what Viola said next was like a cold arrow piercing straight through Osborn's heart.
"We should've never let Zenobia and Wayne stay on the island!" Viola murmured, "If they didn't stay, Wayne wouldn't have been found. He could've lived a happy life with my Zenobia, just like me and your father!"
Osborn was on the verge of breaking down.
"Mom, do you still not understand what we did wrong? Wayne was always Rosalynn's, not Zenobia's! The fact that we hid him has caused great harm to Rosalynn and her children!"
"What harm?" Viola looked up at Osborn, "what about the harm they did to your sister? Osborn, no matter how much you like that woman, you shouldn't value her more than your own sister!!"
"Forget it!" Osborn waved his hand.
He felt utterly hopeless.
He never realized his mother was such a biased person.
"Forget what? We can't forget! Osborn, you need to run. You need to escape. Then you go find your uncle to avenge your sister!"
Just as Viola finished speaking, the door to the storage room opened.
A voice came from the doorway, "Uncle? You mean the gang leader of Harbor Breeze Dock?"
"Ms. Tesdal!" Osborn wanted to move forward.
"Stay where you are!" Jaime pointed at Osborn and shouted impatiently.
Osborn stood still.
Viola and Osborn immediately ran to Zenobia when they saw this.
But Zenobia seemed to not see her mother and brother.
She tried to crawl to Rosalynn, "Ms. Tesdal, I beg you. Don't take Alan away. I'll do anything for you, just give him back to me!"
Zenobia cried her heart out.
She had lost all her previous arrogance in front of Rosalynn.
Every time she thought of Rosalynn taking Wayne away, and that she might never see Wayne again, Zenobia felt as if her heart was being ripped apart.
Just then, a crisp slap echoed in the air.
All the noise immediately quieted down.
Zenobia, holding her cheek, looked in shock at Osborn who had just slapped her.
