The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel 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.

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.d2

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.

"The boy you asked me to look for seems unrelated to this family. I've nearly searched the entire town and still couldn't find the family you described," Mike said in a serious tone.

Considering they were invited to the Scott family's granddaughter's christening, they must be of some importance.

However, after making inquiries, Mike found out the most famous person from that town was Maddie's ancestor.

There were some who had made a fortune in small businesses, but there were no prominent families, per se.

"They probably don't live there permanently," Rosalynn said, biting her lip, "is the car back?"

"Yes, it did," Mike answered. Without waiting for Rosalynn to ask, he handed her the memory card from the car's dashcam, "This is the footage from the dashcam."

"Alright," Rosalynn replied, taking the card.

Who was this boy and what was his real story? Was everything he told Wayne the truth?
