”Son of a b*tch!”Wendy went berserk and wanted to dash into the house.Since things had developed to this state, Rosalie could no longer do anything about it. She stood at the door, not giving Wendy a chance to barge in.“You were the one who came looking for trouble today. Lucian and Nox were doing what they had to just to protect me. You have no right to get angry, Miss Fuller!”Wendy stopped and gasped. “It’s you! You taught them how to do that!”With that, she raised her hand to vent her anger on Rosalie.Rosalie was on guard, and she grabbed onto Wendy’s numb acupoint.Wendy felt a tingling sensation in her arm and could not exert her strength.Before she knew it, Rosalie slapped her hard on the face.Rosalie used all her might and left Wendy dumbfounded.After a long time, she finally recovered and looked at Rosalie in disbelief. “You! How dare you slap me?!”Rosalie’s expression was cold. “I just gave you back what you did to me, Miss Fuller.”With that said, she pu
“Come down and have dinner.”Rosalie sighed silently and called the little ones to have their meal.The little ones obediently came down the stairs and said, “Mommy, we’re sorry.”Before Rosalie could say anything, Nox added. “However, I don’t think we did anything wrong. That mean lady was scolding you, and we wanted to protect you.”The little ones were mad to see Wendy insult their mommy, and they happened to have a basin for watering the plants by their side. Hence, they poured it on Wendy.If that wicked woman had dared to scold Mommy again, they would not have hesitated to do it another time.It did not matter to them even if their mommy was mad.The little ones’ words melted her heart, yet she still put on a stern look. “I know your intention, but leave such things to me in the future. Don’t do anything like this anymore!”“Mommy...” Nox reluctantly tried to argue.Rosalie frowned. “You think you’re protecting me, but at the same time, you’ve put yourself in a dangerous
Talking about their research only brightened Rosalie’s mood.This morning, the first phase of the research had completed successfully after the effort they put in for so long.Starting tomorrow, they would enter a more challenging phase and conquer it.Rosalie was filled with expectations as she thought of the result brought by the research.Rosalie was happy to have Xander helping them out. “Young Master Xander, I’m honored to have you on the team. Of course, I won’t mind.”Xander chuckled and said, “That’s good. It’s getting late, and I won’t disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow.”Rosalie smiled and agreed.Rosalie’s mood gradually calmed down as she thought about the new research tomorrow, and she slept peacefully.After Rosalie sent the little ones to kindergarten the following day, she went to the research institute.She thought she had arrived early enough. However, Xander arrived earlier than her.When she arrived, Xander and Yves were discussing something and looked
Yves looked at the tacit cooperation between the two, and the fire of jealousy burned in him.The pre-experiment lasted three days.At the end of the experiment, Rosalie and the two men carefully tested the finished product’s performance, determined the basic feasibility, and gradually increased the dosage.With the increase in the dose of medicinal materials, the physical ability required by the experiment also gradually increased.The medicinal material could not be added in one go because of the delicacy of the experiment. It could only be kept next to the experimental table and added successively.At the same time, the medicinal materials were difficult to get, and they had to be careful during the experiment.“I’ll do it.”Xander looked at the beads of sweat on Rosalie’s forehead and spoke.He reached out his hand to take the medicine from her.Rosalie dodged carefully, afraid she might pour it when she rejected Xander.She trusted herself more in a delicate job like thi
A sudden silence fell between them, and neither spoke again.Yves was looking at the experiment, but he was absent-minded.He must not let Xander and Rosalie get together, so he had to think of a way to disrupt it.Suddenly, Xander’s phone rang.Xander looked at the caller ID and smiled apologetically. “Sorry, my grandpa called. I think he wants to ask us about the progress of the experiment.”Rosalie nodded.Then, Xander walked out of the lab with his phone.Rosalie wanted to help, but Yves rejected it. “Take a rest there. It’s showing some reaction, and I’ll only have to observe it.”Once it started reacting, there was nothing they needed to do. The only thing they needed to do was to observe and prevent any incident from happening.Rosalie stopped insisting and sat back in her seat. She could not stop recalling what Xander had done to her.She did not know what Xander was thinking and felt she had to keep a distance from Xander after what had happened just now.Meanwhile,
“How are you feeling?”Xander asked Rosalie with concern when they were in the open air.He was close to the liquid, but he reacted quickly and did not get affected much.Rosalie felt her world spinning, yet she forced herself to look at the lab’s entrance. “Have… you evacuated everyone?”The gas was highly toxic, and it would spread quickly.Rosalie was afraid the poisonous gas might affect the other researchers.Xander was moved to see Rosalie caring about others when her condition was the worse. “Dr. Graham has evacuated everyone.”With that, he grabbed Rosalie’s wrist and diagnosed her.Rosalie subconsciously wanted to pull back her wrist, but she did not even have the strength to lift it.“There’s something wrong with that reaction.”Xander diagnosed Rosalie’s health as he explained the situation to Rosalie. “Our experiment wouldn’t produce such a toxic gas even if it failed.”Rosalie knew that, but she had no energy to discuss that with him.After a while, Yves ran ou
Meanwhile, Byron was at Lawrence Corporation.Byron was in the conference room, holding the weekly meeting.The senior officials watched Byron, who sat before them, in horror.They were not sure why, but they could sense Byron seemed in a bad mood.The atmosphere was scary and stressful in the conference room.They could only try to be as careful as they could when reporting the weekly data, afraid they might say something wrong and spike Byron’s anger.Those department heads whose performance was subpar did not dare to lift their heads.While everyone was in a tense situation, someone knocked on the conference room door.The senior executive, who was reporting, stopped talking immediately and looked toward the conference room door with the others.They saw Luther standing outside, embarrassed, with a phone in his hand.Luther smiled apologetically and looked at Byron as he hesitated to say, “Sir, your phone…”Byron, who was already in a bad mood, wanted to scold Luther beca
Xander had carried Rosalie back into her office in the research institute.Although there was a lot of space in the corridor, concerned staff would inevitably visit from time to time.He needed a quiet environment to cure Rosalie.At the same time, Yves, who was sending the message earlier, turned around and noticed that Xander and Rosalie were gone.“Where’s Dr. Jacobs?”Yves panicked and asked one of the researchers.The researcher was startled and pointed at Rosalie’s office. “Young Master Xander seemed to have taken Dr. Jacobs there.”Yves was displeased to hear that and nodded at the person. “Thank you.”He strode toward the office without waiting for the man to respond.He was not paying attention and allowed them to be alone again!Luckily, he was pretty confident about what he had done.Xander would not be able to cure Rosalie easily.It was pointless if Xander wanted to use this chance to curry Rosalie’s favor.As Yves pondered, he slowed down his footsteps.When
