Byron’s grip on her tightened.“Nothing. The scenery evoked some memories, and I didn’t expect you to agree to my marriage proposal.”That was why he thought if Rosalie refused to accept his proposal, it would be nice if they could die by each other’s side here.Recalling the proposal made Rosalie think about the wedding ring she had.Byron had told her that if she agreed to marry him, she could wear the ring.However…Feeling shy, she looked at the sea waves and retorted, “Is the ceremony so important? If it is, don’t you think we should sleep in separate rooms now?”Byron was at a loss for words and began to wonder if he had phrased his words wrongly.However, he felt he did nothing wrong after pondering.Instead, he was displeased and kissed her neck. His hands crawled on her body as he stubbornly said, “It’s different. Only we know how we sleep at home, but I want everyone to know you’re my wife by giving you a wedding.”Realizing Byron’s change in tone, Rosalie’s face fl
It was another pleasurable night for the couple.The following day, Rosalie felt her body was going to fall apart. She even reconsidered sleeping in the guest room instead.“Does it hurt?”Byron came in from outside and looked at her with concern.Rosalie was embarrassed as she uttered each word through her teeth, “Thanks to you, yes.”Byron chuckled and sat beside her. He massaged Rosalie’s back but did not plan to apologize for what he had done.“Have some more rest. Estie prepared breakfast today for you, and she might be here anytime now.”Rosalie was startled upon hearing this. She feared her daughter might see her like this and wanted to get off the bed to get dressed while enduring her pain.“Mommy!”Rosalie froze and happened to sprain her back. The pain made her frown.“Mommy, what’s wrong?”Estelle was anxious when she saw Rosalie’s expression. Subconsciously, she wanted to hug her mommy.Just as she reached out her arms, her daddy stopped her. “Mommy sprained her
After breakfast, Byron drove the three little ones to the kindergarten while Rosalie headed to the research institute.“Dr. Jacobs, has Lancer Corporation not answered us yet?”Linda waited before her office early in the morning.Rosalie’s steps froze upon hearing the name Lancer Corporation. She suppressed the emotion in her and said, “Maybe it will take some time for them to reply. Why? Is there any problem with the manufacturing factory?”Linda looked helpless. “The last batch of medicinal materials finished yesterday. Now the production line is forced to stop. The person in charge even contacted me to discuss the temporary compensation for stopping the production.”She had not slept all night because of this matter.Rosalie frowned and realized the matter was getting serious. She could not drag it on anymore.“I know. How much do they want? You agree to their conditions first and I’ll settle this matter as soon as possible.”Then, she strode back to her office.Xander was
“According to what I know, Young Master Xander’s motive to produce this drug is to give cancer patients hope to live. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this.”Someone muttered and looked at Rosalie strangely.The conference room was quiet, and Rosalie could hear every word he muttered.“If anyone has any doubts about this matter, please state them. I’ll try my best to explain and resolve the matter.”That man turned around and met Rosalie’s gaze. He pondered before speaking, “Miss Jacobs, you were the only person who dealt with Young Master Xander about the project. We don’t know what exactly happened.”Rosalie drooped her eyelids and said calmly, “I don’t mind explaining if you all are eager to know about it.”Then, she lifted her head and looked at her staff. She was nervous deep down.The price of the drug was what she had decided herself. She had never asked her colleagues’ opinions.Noticing Xander’s difference, Rosalie did not want to see doctors taking patients’
After discussing the whole morning, they still did not get a solution.“Lancer Corporation’s medicinal materials are of the best quality in the country. Getting a supply of medicinal materials of their grade won’t be easy. Moreover, the quantity needed is a lot, which will be challenging.”One of the senior employees sighed.If even he had no way, others would not have any either. “If there’s nothing we can do, we can only give in and change the price to what Lancer Corporation wants.”Someone was already expecting the worse.Everyone in the conference room looked dejected.Rosalie’s hope was crushed, and her heart sank.Since it was already time for the lunch break, Rosalie had to dismiss the meeting. “Let’s end this meeting here. Please keep this matter concealed from other employees. Let’s keep this matter to ourselves first. Spreading the news might make others feel dejected too. I’ll think of some other way to solve this matter.”Everyone agreed.Rosalie thought of so
Rosalie had been thinking about the medicinal material supplier and did not hear Byron’s question.She only snapped out of her thoughts when the car moved. Then, she asked Byron, “Where are we going?”Byron said, “I’m not sure what you want to eat. So let’s go and have something light.”Rosalie nodded.She did not have the mood to think about what to eat.The car gradually pulled over in front of a restaurant.Byron got out of the car and opened the door for Rosalie. Rosalie was still in a daze, and she looked worried. Her thoughts were written on her face.The food was tasteless to her.Rosalie had no appetite, and her mind was occupied with something else. She had wanted to stop eating, but Byron persuaded her to eat, so she ate a little more.“Is the cooperation between you and Lancer Corporation not going smoothly?”After lunch, the two of them went back to the car. Byron asked in his deep voice.Rosalie was startled and looked at the man before her, not knowing if she
Byron answered differently than she had expected. “If selling it for a low price benefits us, I won’t give in.”“However, Xander doesn’t want to accept it, and the cooperation will break.” Rosalie could not understand.That was what happened to her for not giving in.Byron said expressionlessly, “I’ll force him to cooperate with me.”Rosalie’s forehead puckered as she asked, “What will you do?”Byron said, “Scandal. Lancer Corporation has been established for a hundred years. Outsiders would think they’re benevolent doctors. However, they refuse to lower the price of the drug. If I expose this to the public, the Lancer family will have to accept this low price because of the scandal no matter how reputable they were.”Rosalie nodded and felt she had learned something new.However…“This means we have to sacrifice the Lancer family’s reputation. I can do it, but you can’t.”Byron knew Rosalie well enough that he saw through her thought.Rosalie nodded.The Lancer family had a
After Rosalie entered the research institute, Byron made a U-turn and drove to Quirke Enterprise.When he was at his destination, Andrius happened to be back from outside and was heading to his office.“Byron, did you miss me today?”Andrius quipped when he saw Byron.When he saw the smile on Byron’s face, he was shocked. “Wait! Are you really Byron? Did you make yourself look like Byron and enter my company, you intruder?”Byron’s expression turned cold, and he looked at Andrius speechlessly.“That’s right. Now, this is the Byron I know.”Andrius was finally sure the person who walked in was his best friend. He took Byron to his office.“Why did you come here all of a sudden?” Andrius poured himself and Byron a cup of tea each. They sat on the sofa, and he was so curious that he asked, “You and Rosalie…”Byron glanced at him and said, “I need you to help Rosie with something.”Andrius agreed without hesitation. “Since you’ve asked, I’ll be glad to help.”Byron continued, “P
