Chapter 72 Bite Marks on the Thenar

Author: Rosie Steppe
When Rosalyn arrived downstairs, Zac was sitting on the couch.

He looked sharp in his dark gray suit and royal blue shirt, and sat upright—completely different from Eric, who always reclined on anything he sat on, as if he didn't have a backbone.

It seemed that fruits from the same parents could be completely different—genes didn't just mutate, but they evolved beyond recognition.

Still, Rosalyn was surprised to see Zac coming to see her. "Hi Zac."

Zac stood up, smiling politely. "Sorry, am

    Three years later, at Hammond Corporation's annual gala, Rosalyn was backstage going over her speech when the door to the makeup room was suddenly pushed open."Mommy!" Two chubby kids came barging in, one on each side, and hugged her legs tightly.Ezekiel held up a lollipop. "Uncle Zac gave it to me!"Elizah immediately tattled. "Daddy said we're not allowed to eat candy!"Zac followed behind them at an unhurried pace while leaning on a cane. He smiled and ruffled the kids' hair."It's fine, but just one bite. Don't tell your dad."After two years of rehabilitation, most of his memory and cognitive abilities had returned. His legs were still a little weak, but the doctors said a full recovery was only a matter of time."Don't spoil them, Zac. Where's Eric?" Rosalyn asked before crouching down to wipe the sugar from her daughter's lips."Got stopped in the hallway by Tim. I heard Wendy's back."Rosalyn's hand slipped, and her fingernail almost poked her daughter's cheek.In t

    After work, Rosalyn didn't attend any other engagements because she was 'kidnapped' straight home by Eric.The moment they stepped inside, she was pressed against the wall and kissed until her head spun.Eric's kisses were intense and possessive, as if he were trying to make up for every day he'd been deprived these past few days.Just as things were about to cross the point of no return, Rosalyn, breathless, pushed him away."Eric, I have a gift for you.""A gift? We'll talk about that after we finish important business."As he lunged again, Rosalyn shoved him away without mercy and pulled a gift box from her bag. "Open it."Eric stared at the pregnancy test report inside. His pupils contracted, and his usually steady voice actually trembled. "Twins?"Rosalyn leaned into his arms as she gently tapped the two blurry little circles on the ultrasound image. "The doctor said they're eight weeks along. Very healthy."Eric's palm settled carefully over her still-flat stomach, as if

    Outside the courthouse, reporters held up cameras, and flashes were going off so brightly it was hard to keep one's eyes open.Standing at the edge of the crowd, Rosalyn watched as Matthew was escorted into a police vehicle by court officers.Dressed in a prison uniform, he no longer had even a trace of the confidence and swagger he once carried."Matthew Steinfeld has been sentenced to death for malicious homicide, spreading false information that caused public panic, and other charges…"Rosalyn listened quietly to the verdict being read out.She had once believed that seeing Matthew brought to justice would give her a sense of vindication, but now that the day had actually arrived, she felt no joy at all.In fact, there was a strange emptiness inside her."It's over." Eric had appeared behind her at some point and gently wrapped an arm around her shoulders.Rosalyn nodded and leaned back into his embrace. "Yes. This time, it's really over."Eric lowered his head and kissed t

    Ophelia stared at Wendy in a daze. There was no trace of false modesty in Wendy's eyes. Instead, there was only a sense of calm.She suddenly realized that the once spoiled, willful girl had truly grown up. "Then where do you plan to go?" Ophelia asked softly."I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll travel for a while." Wendy paused and glanced at the ward. "As for Zac, I'll leave him to you."Ophelia nodded with tears in her eyes. "Don't worry."Wendy took one last look at the ward door before turning around and walking away.Outside the hospital, Rosalyn had already gotten the news and was waiting for her.Seeing Wendy come out, Rosalyn hurried over. Her gaze landed on the wound on Wendy's forehead, and her brows furrowed. "Does it hurt?"Wendy shook her head and forced a smile. "It's just a minor cut. I'm fine."Rosalyn studied her for a few seconds. She suddenly pulled Wendy into her arms. "Stop pretending to be strong."Wendy stiffened for a moment before she relaxed and hugge

    A month later, in the Grant Inc. boardroom, Rosalyn sat at the head of the table with a file spread out before her."According to Mr. Grant's will, I will assume temporary control of Grant Inc. until a suitable successor is appointed. If anyone here has objections, you may speak now."After finishing her sentence, Rosalyn's sharp gaze swept across the room.The directors exchanged glances before they then shook their heads one after another.Since Carl's accident, Grant Inc.'s business had been in free fall and was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.Now that Rosalyn was taking charge, it effectively meant the company was taken over by Hammond Corporation. With Hammond Corporation's backing, Grant Inc. certainly wouldn't fare too badly even if it couldn't return to its former peak."Very well." Seeing no opposition, Rosalyn closed the file and stood up."Effective today, Grant Inc. will formally come under Hammond Corporation as a subsidiary. The two companies will enter a stra

    The moment Eric got the news, he abandoned the meeting he was in and quickly made his way over. Seeing how pale Rosalyn looked, his heart clenched. He pulled her into his arms and said softly, "It's okay now. I'm here."Rosalyn leaned against his shoulder. Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "H-He died trying to save me."Eric tightened his hold on her but said nothing.He knew that at a moment like this, any words of comfort would sound hollow.The next day, the headlines went wild.[Grant Inc. CEO Jumps to Death with Wife, Suspected Domestic Dispute.][Grant Inc.
