“Trust me.”After Byron said that softly, his gentle kiss landed on Rosalie’s lips.Rosalie subconsciously held her breath and stared at the man before her, dumbfounded.Rosalie’s eyelashes fluttered when she recalled what Byron had just said. Her defense broke down.Aware that the man wanted to kiss deeper but was hesitating and probing, Rosalie closed her eyes.Then, Byron hugged her and kissed her passionately.It was a long and deep kiss. Rosalie was out of breath and lifted her hands to push Byron.He let go of Rosalie reluctantly, frowning and panting. His gaze on her was passionate as though he was about to devour her anytime.Rosalie’s heart pounded, and she looked away in a panic. Trying to calm herself down, she said, “Let’s eat lunch. The kids must be hungry.”Then, she served the dishes casually, wanting to hide from that man.The emotion in his eyes was too intense, making her afraid.When she walked past Byron, Byron’s deep voice sounded. “This time, you’re not
After lunch, Rosalie saw that Byron seemed to have made a phone call, and after a while, the doorbell rang.Rosalie went to open the door, only to see Andrius grinning at the door.Andrius looked up and down at Rosalie as she came out of the door. He noticed that she was not hurt and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled at her. "Dr. Jacobs, I'm here to pick Byron up. Where is he?"Earlier, the phone call Byron made was to Andrius. Byron asked him to come and pick him up because he needed to speak with Andrius in person privately.Andrius could probably guess what he wanted to talk about, so he agreed, hung up the phone, and rushed over without hesitation.With that said, Andrius added nonchalantly as if afraid of being suspected by Rosalie, "We need to discuss some work matters, and I happened to be nearby, so I stopped by to pick him up."Rosalie looked at Andrius' expression. She found it odd but did not ask further.After all, Andrius had already stated that it was a w
"Byron, how’s Dr. Jacobs?"Andrius cautiously broke the silence after they had driven for a while.From the rearview mirror, Andrius could see his best friend's gloomy face and felt the frighteningly chilly atmosphere in the car. His suspicion was confirmed.He clearly remembered how normal Byron seemed when he was with Rosalie and the little guys just now. Why did he look like a different person when he got in the car?Byron glanced at him coldly and interjected, "Where’s Wendy and your sister?"Andrius scratched his nose sheepishly. "I sent them to the hospital.""Take me there." Byron was direct.Andrius sighed silently in his heart and nodded in agreement.‘I don't know if he’ll take out his anger on the Quirke family when he sees Andrea later…’After a few seconds of silence, Andrius put away his thoughts and expressed his concerns about the progress in their relationship. "Dr. Jacobs isn’t injured, right?"From the rearview mirror, Byron shook his head with an ugly expr
The people inside seemed to have heard the movement outside, and the conversation stopped abruptly.After a while, Andrea stood up and opened the door.When Andrea saw the two men at the door, panic flashed across her eyes, and she dug her nails into her palms to calm down."Byron, are you here to see Wendy? She’s seriously injured. It's all because—"Before she could even finish, Andrius sharply interrupted her, "Shut your mouth. This is between Byron and Wendy. Let them talk. You come with me now!"Andrea was surprised by her brother’s interruption. She gave him a reluctant stare and wanted to say something more. However, she was completely frightened by Byron’s icy death stare.Their eyes met, and Andrea's heart shuddered. She swallowed her voice and walked out of the ward with her head down.Byron did not say a word to her and went straight into the ward.Andrea was frightened by Byron's eyes just now. She stood there, unable to recover for a long time.…"Byron? Why are
"Byron, what are you talking about—"Wendy would never admit what she did, so she bit the bullet and carried on her act.Byron interrupted her with a cold voice."This ridiculous engagement has lasted for six years. You and I are both at fault. Now, it's time to end this! When you discharge from the hospital, I’ll announce to the public that the engagement between the two families is annulled. For Sir Fuller’s sake, I'm leaving the last bit of honor for the Fuller family. I hope you watch yourself and know what’s good for you!"‘Annul the engagement?’Wendy's eyes widened in astonishment. She could not recover from that.‘I persisted for six years, and finally, Byron was willing to give me another chance. But he’s breaking my dreams when I’m so close!‘How could Byron be so cruel to me?!‘No! I’ll never allow it! I’ve paid my dues for six years! Byron can't just annul the engagement like this!’ Thinking of this, Wendy ignored the injury on her arm and gritted her teeth. She
However, Andrea became more agitated as she carried on. "If it wasn't for that woman, Byron and Wendy would’ve already been married. To hell with her!"At this point, Andrius wanted to slap her so that she could face reality. "Can't you see it? Even if Dr. Jacobs never came back, it’d be impossible for Byron to marry Wendy!"Hearing this, Andrea's eyes flickered with trepidation. "Why is it impossible? Byron clearly..."‘Six years ago, we all saw how persistent Byron was about his relationship with Wendy!‘If Rosalie hadn't stepped in, they would definitely be together!’Andrius coldly scolded her, "Shut up! If Byron really loves Wendy, why hasn’t he married her? Right from the start, Byron has always loved Dr. Jacobs!""Impossible!" Andrea's voice was no longer as firm as before."Then tell me, if Byron truly loves Wendy so much, why hasn't he made things official with her?"Andrius frowned and questioned.Andrea's eyes trembled constantly. Deep down, she was doubtful about it
Andrea watched Andrius and Byron leave, as she stood there, stunned for a while before rushing quickly to Wendy's ward.She had to hear it from Wendy!As soon as she walked through the ward, she was stopped by the staff arranged by Andrius. "Miss, President Quirke ordered that you do not approach."Andrea glared at him angrily. "Go away! I’m only going in to say a few words! I’ll come out after I’m done!"With that, she walked in the ward.The staff tried feebly to block her way in but dared not physically touch her. He helplessly watched her open the door of the ward and walked in."Sis!"As soon as Andrea opened the door, she hurriedly wanted confirmation.In the next second, all she saw was Wendy crying hideously in a heap. She swallowed all her words, and silently backed out of the ward.There was no need to ask anymore. Wendy's demeanor was the best answer.‘Byron really called off the engagement!’Upon realization, Andrea felt a surge of horror. She recalled what she d
None of the three spoke.Luther and Yves stood aside with different thoughts, watching Byron inspect the experiment table. Yves was so nervous that he had to hold his breath.‘If possible, I wouldn’t follow Byron's instructions to restore the scene, as it would be too easy to reveal any flaws.‘But if I refuse, it is equivalent to telling Byron that I’m guilty!After he considered both options, he had no choice but to restore the exact arrangements on the experimental bench, and tampered with it, hoping not to be discovered by Byron!Byron knew nothing about his thoughts, he just focused on looking at the arrangement of medicines on the laboratory table and checked the things on the table carefully.While checking, he recalled the details he saw on the surveillance that day.Almost every bottle had passed through Rosalie's hands, which is imprinted clearly in Byron’s memory.Suddenly, Byron's gaze was fixated on a transparent bottle on the side, and he stared at it for a few se
