Estie obediently stretched out her injured hand for him to look.Bryon frowned slightly when he saw the injury on her hand. “How did this happen? Did the kids bully you?”Estie was stunned for a moment but then she forcefully shook her head. She was not bullied?Byron did not understand. “Then what happened?”Estie picked up the drawing pen again and wrote stroke by stroke into the small notebook. She wrote a few letters.S-L-I-P-E-DAfter she wrote that, she tilted her head, feeling somewhat lacking in confidence.The word was too hard to spell.Whenever she comes across a word that she did not know how to spell, she would usually make an educated guess from how it sounded or skip it entirely.She did not come across this word often and did not know if she had spelled it correctly."You slipped?”Byron looked at the letters and confirmed with her.Estie nodded.Byron let out a sigh of relief as he touched the area of the injury. “Did the teacher give you any treatment f

After the little ones went upstairs, the smile instantly fell from Rosalie’s face."What's the matter? What's on your mind?"Mary switched off the television and came to worry over her.After a moment's hesitation, Rosalie explained what happened tonight in a brief manner. "I met Byron at dinner just now."She could not talk to anyone about what happened six years ago except for Mary.Hearing this, Mary was stunned for a moment. She could not help but sigh. "Just what kind of ill-fated relationship do you guys have... Coast City is huge and here I was thinking if you don’t take the first step to go looking for him, the possibility of a meeting would be almost zero."Rosalie lowered her gaze, she seemed to be thinking of something."So, what are your thoughts now after meeting him?" Mary asked."What can I think? We already ended six years ago, now we’re just two strangers. I won't be influenced by him anymore. I just want to take good care of Lucian and Nox and live a good life

Looking at Estie being fetched away by the teacher, Byron looked away and instructed Luther, "Let's go."Luther nodded and drove to Lawrence Corporation.After arriving at the company, Byron attended multiple high-level meetings consecutively.When the meetings were over, more than an hour had passed. Byron went straight back to the office."Byron, you’re back."He heard Wendy's voice the moment he entered the room.Hearing that, Byron frowned slightly.Wendy, dressed in a small black suit, was standing at his desk with a smile. She looked like she had been waiting inside for a while."When did you arrive?”Byron strode to his desk. He glanced at the documents on the desk before finally looking at Wendy's face.Watching him take a seat, Wendy also sat down with him, smiling gently. "I just arrived a little while ago, Luther said you had gone to a meeting."Saying that, she suddenly noticed the scab at the corner of Byron's mouth, and her heart constricted. "Your mouth...di

Byron ignored Wendy's response after he said that.The reason why he decided to marry Wendy at the beginning was just to repay her grandfather's saving grace.This was the reason why he had gotten close with the Fuller family. Hence, when the elders had proposed that he marry Wendy, he had accepted it noncommittally.He had even thought that Wendy was the woman of his dreams.After learning that woman had left without saying goodbye six years ago, he then realized that his feelings for Wendy was not the love he had imagined.The elders from both families had urged him multiple times to complete the marriage procedures as soon as possible after that, but he had made excuses and shelved them.He had also done everything possible to ease the life of the Fuller family over the past six years. He agreed to all their business requirements, just to make it up for the delays.At present, the way he saw it, that kindness had been repaid adequately.At the very least, there was no need t

Rosalie was stunned.The Fullers?From her understanding, there was only one family in the medicine business in Coast City with the Fuller surname.And she happened to have a history with that family.Thinking of this, Rosalie frowned slightly. She only hoped that she would not be that unfortunate to meet the person she did not want to see the most.Not long later, the two reached the coffee shop that was agreed on.The person from the medicine business had not arrived. Rosalie and Yves first found a seat and ordered two cups of coffee while waiting for the other. About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door of the booth.“They’re here.”Yves braced himself and said to Rosalie beside him.Rosalie nodded and stood up. “Please come in,” she said.Almost instantly, the door pushed open, and a man’s voice sounded. “Our apologies, we’re late.”Rosalie looked up and ahead and ended up meeting Wendy Fuller.Rosalie sighed and thought, ‘You truly attract what you fear.’

“Increase by two points?”Yves was stunned. “President Fuller, did we not already settle this before? Why do you wish to increase the price suddenly now that we’re about to sign the partnership?”Seeing his surprised appearance, Wendy crossed her legs comfortably and said in a leisurely voice, "Indeed, we had agreed prior, but the prices in the medicinal materials market have overall gone up this year. If we signed the contract with you with the originally agreed-upon price, we will lose too much. I hope Dr. Graham understands."This was said in a sanctimonious manner.Yves’s expression froze slightly. He wanted to say something, but Rosalie stopped him."I think Miss Fuller had a sudden urge to raise the prices because she saw me. I know the prices in the medicinal materials market like the back of my hand. If you want to raise prices, we can discuss it but it's unreasonable to raise it by two points at this time."Rosalie wanted to be professional but the other obviously wanted

Hearing that, Byron put down the work in his hands. Recalling the night before, the view of the backs of Rosalie leaving together with the stranger of a man, his gaze sunk slightly. “Who is he?”“The man is Yves Graham; he is the person in charge of Virus Research Institute. The old master of the Quirkes had gone to him for medical consultation before.”Luther noticed the atmosphere in the office had decreased and his tone became a little more careful, “Also, I found that Yves is currently single, it’s likely that…there is nothing special between him and Miss Jacobs. That said, Miss Jacobs also studied medicine in college, the two might have met in school but that is uncertain.”Hearing this possibility, Byron’s expression became less severe. “Is there anything else you found apart from this?”Luther looked somewhat awkwardly. “We only found this at present. On Miss Jacobs’ side, we only know that she had just returned to the country. As for her stint overseas and its traces, we ar

Knowing that they were being plotted against plus that several of the institutes were still on hold.Rosalie could not help feeling a little agitated.She did not expect that after six years, Wendy's hostility to her was so great that she would shamelessly use such means!Now was not the time to vent, however.Rosalie pinched her palm, calming himself down. Looking up, she said to Yves, "It doesn’t matter. If Coast City doesn’t work. We'll contact medicinal material suppliers in other cities. We will definitely find someone who is willing to sign with us."However, the cost and time would be correspondingly higher.Although Rosalie did not say anything, she was aware of it internally.She also hoped to find a suitable partner in the local area, but there really was no way."No... we might not have to go to other cities."Yves had suddenly thought of something and his tone relaxed.Hearing that, Rosalie raised a brow. "Do you think there are other medicinal material suppliers

Old Master Quirke’s illness was a little complicated, which was why those famous doctors had been powerless.Yves took a while just telling her about Old Master Quirke’s illness.At six o'clock in the evening after work, Rosalie went to the Quirke family mansion alone based on the address Yves had given her.A middle-aged man who looked like the housekeeper had opened the door.When he saw Rosalie, he asked very politely, "Hello, may I inquire as to who you are?"Rosalie smiled, "Hello, I'm the doctor who is here to look at Old Master Quirke. I called this afternoon."Hearing that, the housekeeper scrutinized her from top to bottom. Seeing that she was young, he could not help feeling suspicious.With how young she was, could she actually do it?However, he did not show it on his face. After two seconds, he said, "Since you’re a doctor, please come in with me."With that, he turned to lead Rosalie.Rosalie noted that the other did not trust her, but she did not take it to hea

Soon, the group was in front of Rosalie.Cradled in her daddy’s arms, Estie looked at the beautiful lady longingly, there was a rare joy in her expression.Faced with the father and daughter’s differing gazes, she was at a loss of how to react for a moment. Fortunately, the man in front broke the silence. "Are you the doctor Dr. Graham recommended to look over our Old Master?"Rosalie adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "That's me. Hello, my name is Rosalie Jacobs.""Dr. Jacobs."The man reached out to her. "My name is Andrius Quirke. This is my sister. Her name is Andrea Quirke."With that, he looked at Byron who was behind them. "This is…our brother, I suppose. He is a Lawrence."Rosalie forced herself to nod calmly and said hello to them, "Mr. Quirke, Miss Quirke... President Lawrence."At that, there was a clear hum of laughter in a man’s voice/ Listening to it, it sounded sarcastic.Rosalie lowered his eyes and hid the strange emotion under his eyes.Meanwhi
