After nearly half an hour, Andrea came back. She was still swaggering when she came in and only restrained herself when she saw Old Master Quirke sitting on the sofa."Grandpa, you're here..." Andrea inexplicably felt guilty.Old Master Quirke glanced at her unhappily and let out a cold hum.Andrea touched her nose but still made nothing of it. She slowly walked up to the two, wanting to take a seat."Stand there!" Andrius shouted angrily.Andrea's movements suddenly halted. Reluctance was written all over her face, but with the old master present, she retreated and stood opposite them in an unreconciled manner."Do you know why I called you back?!" Andrius questioned.Andrea’s lips curled as she pretended to be puzzled. "I don't know. I was out shopping when you suddenly called me back. And you sounded very mad."Andrius' expression was cold. "Were you the one who instructed Don not to supply the drugs to Dr. Jacobs' research institute?"Andrea nodded noncommittally, her expr

Andrea took two steps back subconsciously but still defended herself, "What's wrong with what I said? If a crisis were to befall the Quirkes’ century-old heritage because of this antagonism with the Lawrences, that would be the true let-down!”Hearing this, Andrius felt his temples throb and swell. Gritting his teeth, he scolded, "Do you even know how the Quirkes were able to inherit this century-old heritage?"Andrea lowered her head and kept silent."It’s through credibility!" Andrius glared at her angrily. "If we give up our principles because of this little affair, what right do the Quirkes have to remain in the medical community?!"Andrea's anger dimmed as she glanced at the old master sitting on the sofa carefully. She lowered her stance and said to her brother, "Brother, I really did it for the Quirkes’ benefit. What company in Coast City dares go against the Lawrences? Almost every medicinal materials supplier in Coast City was given a warning by Aunt Melody. If the Quirkes

Back upstairs, Old Master Quirke sighed faintly. "Keep an eye on Andrea more in the future. She's impulsive. I'm afraid she'll do something stupid again."Andrius quickly complied. "Don't worry.""Also, don't take Andrea's words to heart just now. We’ll supply Dr. Jacobs with the medicinal materials as usual. If there’s any problem with the Lawrences, I’ll handle it." The old master earnestly said, "The Quirkes have always kept their word. We can’t break our principles because of this."Andrius nodded. "I'll call Dr. Jacobs and explain the situation to her."The old master nodded. "Go on, then. I'm a little tired."The old master’s mood was quite foul today because of the situation Andrea caused. Now that the matter was solved, his body felt the exhaustion.Andrius waited for the old master to fall asleep before getting up to leave the room and call Rosalie.At the same time, Rosalie was sitting in the office with a heavy heart.She noted the sky getting dark, yet there was no

On the other end, Andrea thought she had done a good deed, but she was criticized by her brother and grandfather. She was even not allowed to get involved in the Quirke family's affairs anymore. She was furious no matter how she thought about it.Seeing Old Master Quirke and Andrius go upstairs, Andrea sat in the living room angrily for a while. She picked on the servants from time to time.Her anger did not ease no matter what. Finally, she called Wendy."Wendy, where are you now?"Wendy was lying in the hospital with Melody sitting next to her. After receiving her call, she sneakily lowered the volume of her phone. "I’m in the hospital. What's the matter?""You haven’t been discharged?" Andrea was very concerned.Andrea was aware that Wendy was hospitalized after she saved Melody. However, she had not visited her much in the hospital during this period and did not expect Wendy’s injury to be so serious. Hearing this, Wendy looked at Melody beside her bed, uncertain whether it

Not long after Melody left, there was a knock at the door of the ward.Andrea walked in bitterly."What's the matter? Who bullied you?" Wendy was puzzled when she saw her face.Andrea sat down beside the bed. She absently grabbed an apple and began peeling it while complaining angrily, "Who else but my brother and grandpa!"Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Wendy hurriedly took the apple and the peeler away from her hand. She patiently asked, "What did they do to you?""They found out that I asked Don not to provide Rosalie the medicinal materials!" Andrea looked at the person on the hospital bed aggrievedly.Speaking of it, Wendy was the one who gave her the idea.If Wendy had not informed her, she would not have known that Melody was targeting Rosalie.It just so happened that both of them did not like Rosalie, so Wendy took advantage of the situation and proposed that she should follow the Lawrences and cut off the Quirkes’ medicinal material supply to Rosalie.On the on

Hearing her answer, Andrea was puzzled.Could she have prepared something else?Thinking of this, Andrea carefully asked, "Wendy, do you mean that there’s another way to deal with Rosalie?"Wendy's heart was filled with impatience toward her. She thought to herself that even if she were to have other means in mind, she could not possibly let Andrea in on it or it would never succeed.aHowever, thinking that she might inevitably be useful again in the future, Wendy still reassured her. "Don't worry, I'll be sure not to let the b*tch off the hook. Come to think of it, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been lectured by both Grandpa Quirke and Andrius. I won’t let her go so easily even if it’s just to vent on your behalf!"She attributed the reason why Andrea was taught a lesson to Rosalie in just a few words.Andrea thought so too and nodded angrily. "That Jacobs woman! Grandpa and Brother have been picking trouble with me ever since they met her. I’m their family member, yet

When Rosalie came home in the evening, Lisa had already picked up the two boys and had prepared dinner.Seeing Rosalie enter, the boys greeted her with concerned expressions. "Mommy, you worked hard today!"The boys looked up as they said that and stared at Rosalie's face. They just thought that Mommy looked really haggard today.Seeing that, they looked at each other anxiously. They knew that Mommy's work today must have been difficult.Rosalie had run around the entire day because of the medicinal materials issue. She was exhausted. Seeing the boys’ worried expressions, she barely forced out a smile before leaning over to caress their heads. "Thank you for your concern."After saying that, the little ones ran away from her hand and brought her slippers. They put them at her feet.Rosalie smiled happily.After she took off her coat, they rushed to hang it up for her.The boys were short and had a lot of trouble hanging the coat on the hanger.Rosalie just looked at them with

Seeing the two boys' sad appearance, Rosalie could not say anything for a long time.Fortunately, the boys also knew that their mommy was reluctant to give up on Estie. After being sad for a while, they sensibly calmed down and ate their meals in small bites.After dinner, Rosalie was very tired. The two boys were not in the mood to play games and went upstairs early to sleep.After waiting till the boys had fallen asleep, Rosalie gently touched their cheeks and said softly, "I’m sorry."It was because of her that the little ones had to follow her around at a young age.Moreover, they should have a better life. The moment she told Byron about the boys' parentage, they would become the young masters of the Lawrence family with golden spoons. Everything they wanted, they would get.Out of selfishness, however, she had the two boys remain by her side.Although she had worked hard over the years to compensate them, she did not think her efforts were even close to making up for the l

The moment she arrived at the entrance of the research institute, Rosalie saw that Yves was already taking count of the medicinal materials. There was also a slightly chubby man in a sleek suit standing next to him. They were discussing something between them.She noticed that the man in the suit looked like he was fawning over someone while Yves’ expression was a little perfunctory.Yves has always been friendly with others. Rosalie rarely saw such an expression on him and quickly walked over in confusion."Dr. Graham, I really didn't mean it. I was busy with a meeting when you called me yesterday. I thought—"Halfway through the man's words, Yves looked up and saw Rosalie walking over. He cut the man coldly, "This is the head of our research institute, Dr. Rosalie Jacobs. If there are any issues, you may relay them to her."The man was stunned for a moment before quickly turning to look at Rosalie. With a respectful attitude, he said, "Dr. Jacobs, I'm Don Juan, the manager in ch

At the end of the day, he was a subordinate working for the Quirke family. Since Andrius had entrusted this matter to this person, it showed that this person was also under him. Naturally, Rosalie would not make things harder for him. What she said just now was also just a reminder. Their research institute was not so easy to deal with, so he should pay more attention in the future.Don also reacted and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He shook Rosalie's hand and nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course!"Rosalie smiled politely. "Well then, let’s have a happy cooperation."Don raised his hand and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and repeatedly complied.At the other end, Yves was also done taking count of all the medicinal materials. He had already gotten the staff to move the boxes in before walking toward both of them.Don had obviously done such work many times. Seeing him come over, he immediately handed over the list.Yves glanced at Rosalie. It was reasonable t
