Chapter 1591
“We don’t have to beat around the bush. Let’s cut to the chase.”
If they were to talk about the five years between Wayne and Rosalynn, Jacob probably knew them better than they
knew themselves.
About when exactly did Wayne start to have feelings for Rosalynn, even he couldn’t pinpoint.
Jacob’s guess? It was the third year after Rosalynn came into his life.
That was the only time during those five years when Wayne had introduced Rosalynn to his friends.
Though it was a fleeting moment.
After that, Wayne seemed to have realized something, and his attitude towards Rosalynn got worse and worse.
Jacob’s take on this was, “You’re trying to see if she would leave you just like Olivia Whaley did, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen came the argument and resignation over Rosalynn’s engagement.
In losing Rosalynn, Wayne started to resort to all sorts of means including threats, deception, and even violence, in
a desperate search for his inner self. As Jacob spoke, Wayne’s expression grew more and more solemn.
It wasn’t until the life-or-death moment of Cory and Ivy on the operating table.
Listening to Jacob, Wayne’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably
It felt like he was hearing about a stranger.
He felt an overwhelming sense of shame and anger.
“Thank you, Wayne managed to say that, his voice trembling at the news of his children being saved by Jacob.
Jacob didn’t say much.
Wayne muttered his response.
Seeing this, Jacob didn’t press on with the topic.
Instead, they started to reminisce about their younger days.
“Thinking back, it was quite a time. We decided to start our own company. Bane Energy Corporation, when we were
still green behind the ears. I remember back then, you wanted nothing more than to show your mother that you
didn’t need the Silverman Group, that you could build your own empire. Fast forward a decade or so, the Silverman
Group is pretty much gone, but Bane Energy Corporation has become a mountain that many can look up to but can
never surpass.
Jacob crossed his arms, shaking his head and sighing.
The hand that Wayne had on his knee tightened slightly. “Did I care about my mother’s opinion that much?”
“Not just care,” Jacob shrugged slightly. “Your mother was indeed a unique woman. In the world of the rich and
powerful, many mothers would do anything to make their sons the heirs. But your mother was different. She began
to worry about you challenging her authority when you were just learning to talk. She even went as far as to almost

Jacob paused.
And then said, “Wayne, what I’m about to say might sting a little, but, have you ever thought that your memory loss
might be a blessing in disguise?”
Some memories are better off forgotten.
Wayne fell silent for a moment, but eventually nodded.
Jacob stretched his legs, “There’s one more person, you might have forgotten, but I’d like to bring up again.”
Wayne thought it was another of his past mistakes.
He immediately looked up at Jacob, waiting for him to continue judging him.
But…
“Her name was Erica Lawrence, we knew each other when we were just kids,” Jacob’s gaze drifted out the window,
his face turned a bit pale
