The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1619

"Of course you did," Rosalynn responded.

Rosalynn and Wayne shared a knowing look, and both broke into a hearty laugh.

After a joyful lunch, Baillie and Hilaria had to head off to work. The rest headed back home at a leisurely pace.

"The final exams are coming up," Ivy started rambling about her plans as soon as she got home. "I need to study hard!"

Last time around, she was still a few ranks away from being top ranked.

Liam had made it clear - he would only continue tutoring her over the summer if she came in first in her year!

"Does Liam have the time? Should we ask him to tutor Ivy?" Calvin quickly questioned, seeing Ivy's anxious demeanor.

Wayne cleared his throat, "Liam has his own finals to worry about."

"Right, I can't let my needs get in the way of Liam scoring top marks!" Ivy lamented. "Enough chit-chat, I'm going to study hard now!"

Wayne, leaning on his cane, watched Ivy's retreating figure as she scampered upstairs, a million thoughts racing through his mind.

"Don’t be worried too much, Prez?" Paige teased Wayne, her hand resting on Cory's head.

"You'll understand when you have a daughter," Wayne shot her a glance.

"Why should I worry? We've already agreed, if I have a daughter, she'll be with Cory. I'm not worried at all!” Paige chuckled.

Cory glanced her silently.

Why was this topic brought up again?

"Tech Seven, don't you have a meeting at three this afternoon?" Rosalynn checked her watch, reminding Cory.

Cory nodded towards Paige, "Under the law, marriage should be based on mutual consent, arranged marriages are a no-go."

"Alright, let's settle on this for now. When you're older, you can date freely first, and then we can arrange the marriage!"

Cory was at a loss for words again.

Alison was taken aback, "Abroad?"

"Yes, the M Country, the Y Country, or any other country you'd like to go to."

"I... I don't have the money..." Alison managed to say.

Although Alison was usually quiet in class, she heard her classmates talk a lot.

They would always talk about what courses they took in which countries, and how much money they spent.

To Alison, those numbers were astronomical.

"But first, can you tell me, do you want to go?"

Without hesitation, Alison nodded: "I do, I want to leave here, to get as far away from them as possible. I hope they never find me..."

As Alison spoke, tears streamed down her face.
