Chapter 496
“Wayne, I think I might’ve messed up big time.” Olivia covered her face, shaking as she spoke.
Wayne’s face turned serious.
Rosalynn was planning to leave the living room, not wanting to listen to their phone call.
But Wayne, as if worried about her leaving, grabbed Rosalynn’s hand with his injured one.
He immediately frowned.
Rosalynn glared at him, mouthing “I won’t go!”
Without giving her a chance to explain, Wayne pulled her to sit beside him.
“What mistake?” he asked.
“About today’s proposal… I actually had it done together with some others. I just found out that the
proposal was actually the one that Jered had discarded before,” Olivia sounded like she was falling

I plagiarized their previous proposal on purpose.”
Olivia’s biggest concern was Gabriella complaining to Wayne. She had thought long and hard, and this
was the only thing she could come up with.
Wayne looked at Rosalynn. No wonder the people from Jered’s side all looked like they were going to
explode during Olivia’s presentation.
“Wayne, I just wanted to win the project for Bane Corporation. Ms. Jared is very capable, and I already

me with the proposal, I was indeed amazed by its content, and I was a bit muddled for a moment… You
have to believe me, I repeatedly confirmed that the proposal was their original work before buying it… I
really didn’t expect things would turn out like this! I have no idea how Jered Ventures‘ proposal got into
that person’s hands…”
Wayne was practically hugging Rosalynn, so she could hear Olivia’s voice.
How to put this?
Between the lines, what Olivia’s pretty much saying was, “This coincidence must be a setup.”
And who set it up? It’s obviously Ms. Gabriella, who was jealous of Wayne’s first love.
After all these years, Olivia really hadn’t changed one bit.
Wait…
It was actually more likely that she was sure Wayne would believe her, so she didn’t put much effort.
into her explanation, making it exceptionally sloppy and crude.
“Regardless of the reason, this is a major incident.” Wayne’s tone was stern.
Olivia was slightly taken aback. She had messed up before, but Wayne never said anything and
directly had someone else handle the situation.
Olivia went silent for a few seconds before asking, “Has Ms. Jared already spoken to you about this?

“She didn’t say anything,” Wayne’s tone was starting to become noticeably unhappy, “Yeah, why
wouldn’t she talk to me about something this big?”
Wayne looked at Rosalynn.
Rosalynn stayed silent.
“Is she there? Why don’t we all have dinner together tonight. My treat, so I can explain everything to her face to face?” Olivia’s tone was soft and pleading, with a tinge of humiliation, “Wayne, you’re planning to marry her, right? I won’t be able to avoid seeing her in the future, so it’s better if we don’t have any conflicts.”
“No need.”
Wayne declined without even asking Rosalynn.
“Is that her decision, or yours?” Olivia asked sadly after a brief silence.
“Mine,” Wayne answered.
Olivia laughed sadly, “Wayne, are you guarding against me? Do you think I’d hurt her?”
Before Wayne could answer, Olivia asked with a self–mocking tone, “So that’s what you think of me? We’ve known each other for over a decade, have you ever seen me hurt anyone?
