Rosalie put her mobile phone aside. She looked through the details of the research institute’s recent consumption of medicinal materials, and her temples faintly ached.She had already thought about it yesterday. She was thinking of borrowing the Quirkes contacts and asking Andrius to introduce her to several medicinal material businesses.However, the Quirke family had already given them enough benefits today. If Rosalie were to say something more, it would seem like she was dissatisfied. She had hesitated for a long time when he called just now, but in the end, she still did not mention it.Now, she could only try to look for the seniors she met at the last conference.She wondered if they still remembered her.She was a little tired yesterday and coupled with the fact that she did not sleep well the night before, Rosalie could not help feeling a burst of irritability. She grabbed her phone to search through the address book.The research institute’s development had been going

"Don't you think you did something wrong?"Andrius could tell what she thought from a glance. He put down the documents in his hand with a cold expression and looked at the person in front of him with a heavy gaze.Andrea’s mouth dropped open. "I didn't do anything wrong. It’s Aunt Melody who’s targeting Rosalie, not me. I just did according to her instructions!""Did Aunt Melody personally tell you not to provide medicinal materials for Dr. Jacobs' research institute?" Andrius questioned sternly.Andrea was startled by him. Her body constricted for a moment before very quickly relaxing. She steeled herself and responded, "Even if Aunt Melody didn't say it, I know what she meant! And we have such a good relationship with the Lawrences. Shouldn't we help Aunt Melody?"After saying that, Andrea continued even before Andrius could speak, "Brother, don't forget Rosalie left behind a divorce agreement and left without saying goodbye. Aunt Melody has always held a grudge against her ove

The speculation from that morning hovered in Andrius’ mind the entire day.At night, after work, Andrius called Byron.His call was picked up very quickly on the other end. "Andrius, what's up?"Andrius smiled as if nothing had happened. "I haven't seen you for some time. I wonder if you have time to get a drink together tonight?"Hearing this, Byron deeply frowned slightly. He knew that he had something to say and agreed with a deep voice.After hanging up the call, Byron asked Luther to pick up Estie from the kindergarten before driving to the private club he often went to.A waiter greeted him the moment he entered, "President Lawrence, President Quirke is already waiting for you."Byron nodded slightly and followed the waiter upstairs before entering the private room.He said he wanted to drink, but there was only a bottle of beer on the table while exquisite dishes filled the rest of the table.Andrius was leaning on the sofa, staring off into space. When Byron came in, h

The air pressure in the private room plummeted sharply.Andrius internally shivered. He was hesitating whether to tell him the rest."Why are you asking this?" Byron frowned and glanced at him.Andrius cleared his throat and said as if nothing had happened, "Yesterday, she came to examine the old master. I suddenly recalled your relationship to be rather good before, so I wanted to ask you if you two were still in contact..."If they were no longer in contact, he would just mind his business.The gaze of the person beside him suddenly darkened before he was even done talking.Andrius felt like he had been seen through. He stopped talking and looked back with a puzzled expression. "What's the matter, Byron?""Are you pursuing her?" Byron's brows were tightly locked, and the emotions at the bottom of his eyes were vaguely mixed with some displeasure.Hearing this, Andrius was instantly dumbfounded. His mind blanked out.What had he said ever since Byron came in through the door

After a moment, Andrius bit the bullet and asked, "So, what's going on between you two now? If you don't plan to get involved with her, I’ll only treat her like any normal doctor when she comes to check on the old master the next time. There won’t be a need for me to be so courteous."Byron responded in a deep voice after a few seconds of contemplation. "Just remain like how you were before."The woman would be going abroad soon, after all. She would not be giving the old master that many more physical examinations. Hearing this, Andrius breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that Byron was still interested in Rosalie.Aware of this, Andrius tried to lead the topic to the difficulties that Rosalie had been facing the past two days."Also, when Dr. Jacobs came to examine the old master yesterday, she mentioned to me that her research institute has been encountering some problems recently," Andrius said as naturally as possible.After he said that, Byron frowned and looked over,

Luther only recovered from his shock after quite a long time. Then, he immediately phoned his master.In the club’s private room, Byron did not speak again after he hung up the phone. Andrius took the hint and just ate the cold food on the side.When Byron's mobile phone lit up, Andrius immediately glanced at it.The person beside him immediately picked it up."Sir, I've looked into it." Luther's voice sounded very cautious.Byron hummed in affirmation with his deep voice. "Who did it?"Luther hesitated before answering, "It’s… Madam Lawrence."Hearing his answer, Byron just closed his eyes. There was not a bit of surprise on his face.He already had a guess in his heart from the moment Andrius told him about the matter. He asked Luther to look into it just to confirm things."I see." Byron hung up the call expressionlessly.The temperature in the private room was as cold as ice.Andrius was about to say something when Byron's deep voice sounded in his ear."When did you fi

"However, now that you know, what are you going to do?"Andrius hesitated before asking. His gaze on Byron was inquiring.He did not doubt his eyes, so he was sure that his friend must be interested in Dr. Jacobs.However, what he really did not know was whether he would fight Aunt Melody for her.Byron frowned and could not help feeling a burst of irritability deep down. He replied in a deep voice after some time passed, "I'll think of something on the Lawrences’ side. Can you help with Rosalie's side?" Hearing this, Andrius was again puzzled.What did he mean by ‘think of something’? Were they going to go against Aunt Melody or not?Byron did not hear him answer and added with a frown, "If it's inconvenient, I'll figure it out by myself. As for my mother, I'm not ready to openly confront her for the time being."Considering his mother's temperament, the more he fought against her for Rosalie, the more she would dislike Rosalie and target the woman.Moreover, she was his mot

However…Ever since he found out that Rosalie was Byron's ex-wife who had left without saying goodbye, Andrius had always had a guess in his heart. He could not help but voice it out now."What's Dr. Jacobs’ relationship with Estelle? I’ve never seen Estelle this dependent on anyone."Although he was not clear about it, Byron guessed what he meant with his words and responded lightly, "Estelle is her daughter."While he had guessed it long ago, it still took Adrius quite a while to come back to his senses after personally hearing this answer.The time Rosalie left, Estie’s age, and her inexplicable dependence on Rosalie had given him the thought that Estie might be Rosalie's daughter.However, from the few times he had seen Rosalie getting along with Estie, Dr. Jacobs seemed to only be treating the little girl like a child she was acquainted with. Hence, Andrius did not dare to think much of it.Hearing Byron admitting it now, he felt even more confused.Did Dr. Jacobs not know

The next morning, Rosalie was at the research institute having a headache about the issue of business partners.She had practically contacted everyone who could be contacted in the country these few days but still did not obtain any results.There were many of them who did not have any contacts in Coast City. Even if they did, they could not possibly go up against the Lawrences for her.After three days, Rosalie was really at a loss for what to do.Just when she was helpless, there was a knock on her office door.Yves entered with Andrius."Dr. Jacobs, President Quirke is here," Yves greeted her.Hearing this, Rosalie looked up with surprise. Seeing the person behind Yves, she could not respond for a moment.The medicinal materials from the Quirkes had already been delivered. Why would Andrius still come over?"Dr. Jacobs." Andrius smiled at her and looked around her office.He wanted to take the opportunity to see if there were any photos of her children’s father, but he onl

Andrius saw through Rosalie's concerns and knew what she was worried about. He tried putting it another way. "The friendship between the Quirkes and Lawrences won’t be severed because of this. I also wouldn’t risk Quirke Enterprise. Of course, I’ve already made all the preparations when I came over looking for you to raise this matter today.”Rosalie looked at his adamant expression, and the hesitation on her face gradually faded. However, she still could not help but ask, "But why do you want to help me like this? Is it just because I cured the old master’s disease?"Andrius recalled his conversation with Byron last night and looked at Rosalie meaningfully.Met with his gaze, Rosalie found it a little weird.Andrius began slowly after a moment, "My grandfather was bedridden for so many years, and it’s all due to your treatment that he’s able to recover to how he is now. Moreover, you also said when you took over my grandfather’s treatment that his life was already on the line. You
