Chapter 417
“Just pretend to go on a blind date.”
“We’ll never actually develop it into a real date.”
“How could mother bear to marry you off to such a guy?”
“What would you lose in helping Grant?”
“In the Sutton family, everyone takes good care of us. We really can’t be that ungrateful.”
These were the voice messages Peyton sent after Paige’s rejection.
Rosalynn was almost furious after listening to them. She hated men who resorted to domestic violence.
That day, she did some research on that guy, and what she found truly scared her.
The guy was quite a scumbag, with a long list of bad deeds, which were enough to put him in jail
several times.
It was all thanks to his powerful family in the local area and their willingness to spend money to cover

Rosalynn immediately had someone spread the information they found all over the internet.
The incident quickly escalated.
Two days later, the man got arrested.
His powerful local family got rooted out and completely eradicated by the police using the man as a
breakthrough.
Naturally, the business of the Sutton family’s relative also collapsed, the money spent on connections
wasted.
From that moment on, Rosalynn had a hunch that Peyton might love Paige, but in her heart, she hadn’t
really put Paige in a significant position.
Instead, she was more like treating Paige as an accessory for a rich life when marrying Grant.
As an accessory, her life should naturally be arranged by her mother.
“Sorry, Aunty Peyton,” Rosalynn interrupted coldly, “no matter what the issue is, I will always stand by
Paige’s side. If she’s not willing to let go, we’ll keep following up on
this.”
“Why can’t you think things from my perspective?” Peyton sounded anxious.
Seemed like she hit a wall with Paige.
“And you?” Rosalynn’s tone grew colder, “Did you ever think about her?”
Peyton’s voice stopped abruptly, and she hung up after a few seconds.
Rosalynn threw her cell phone aside, agitated, and lay back in bed.
Wait… Lay back?
Rosalynn recalled that she was sleeping on the couch locked in Wayne’s arms, right?
Now… She was surprised to see she was in the bedroom!
Looking at the person beside her, she met Wayne’s sharp gaze.

The next second, instinctively, she lifted the quilt corner and checked herself. Thankfully, she still had
her clothes on.
“When I said I wouldn’t do anything, I meant it,” Wayne said slowly, “Do you also have a friend named
Paige?”
Rosalynn: “…”
“What are you pretending?”
She grabbed a pillow and threw it directly at Wayne’s face.
Wayne caught the pillow and suddenly burst into laughter.
Rosalynn couldn’t stand him anymore.
Her real identity was supposed to be kept a secret, but now it’s exposed.
Wayne had created a new persona for her, a woman now married with a 4-year-old daughter.
She lifted the quilt and got ready to get out of bed.
Wayne, however, quickly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back.
“What are you doing? Wayne, I’m married! Have some decency and morals, will you?”
Previously, when Olivia was married, Wayne would rather find a replacement, not steal her back.
Rosalynn hoped that this good quality would continue forever.
