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
At the same time, downstairs in Andrius' office.Andrea sat anxiously in the office, thinking about the person she saw downstairs just now.‘If I’m not mistaken, that was Byron!‘Since Wendy left, my brother and Byron have hardly had any contact with each other.‘This time, Byron came over suddenly. Did he find something?‘Could it be...‘He found Wendy’s whereabouts?’Andrea became restless at that thought and hurriedly grabbed her bag and left the office.She dashed downstairs and drove to the house of the man she had visited with Wendy the previous time.It was already dark when she arrived.Alistair was leisurely watering the flowers at home.When the butler informed him that she had arrived, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he asked the butler to bring her in."Miss Quirke, what an honored guest."Alistair did not put the watering can down until the butler brought Andrea in from outside. Then, he wiped his hands and sat down on the sofa.Glancing at Andrea who was st
"Why? Are you afraid that she’ll look for you?"Alistair observed her expression and asked her with intent.Panic flashed across Andrea's face. "No, I'm just worried."Alistair laughed. "What are you worried about?"Andrea's guilty eyes darted around. "The Lawrence family and the police are keeping a close eye on every checkpoint. If she comes back, she’ll be caught. I think… she’d better not come back."Alistair sneered at her. "That's no good. I sent her out so she would come back one day!"‘The grievances between Wendy and Rosalie are so deep. I might gain a henchwoman once she returns.‘Also, this one in front of me…’Alistair’s tone slowed down again, and he asked her meaningfully, "Wendy is wanted by the police, and you're willing to risk your life to look for me for her sake. Your relationship must be fantastic. I'm even suspicious... Does she have something on you?"As Alistair hit the nail on the head, Andrea's heart tightened suddenly. She tightly clenched the hem of
"I had fun chatting with you today, but it's a pity we didn’t share a glass of wine."In the end, Alistair walked her out. "Would you be free to have a meal, Miss Quirke?"Andrea hesitated for a moment and thought, ‘We just had a pleasant conversation just now. Plus, Alistair is indeed very attractive, and his influence is enough to rival the Lawrence family…’ A twisted desire rose in her heart.In the beginning, she wanted Wendy to be the young wife of the Lawrence family so that she could ride on her coattails.‘Now that such a good opportunity is right in front of me, why shouldn’t I be the one to climb to the top?’Thus, Andrea finally agreed and made an appointment with him.Alistair watched her leave as his expression gradually darkened.‘The Quirke family is close to the Lawrence family. Andrea is someone who can be useful!’According to his observation, he believed that Wendy must have some leverage over her.If he could not control Andrea with persuasion, he would g
Lawrence Manor.Despite having meetings all day, Rosalie had not found a solution. Her face was filled with frustration when she returned home."Mommy, why didn't you pick us up today?"Byron picked the little ones up, and they kept asking for her all night.Nox immediately came up to her when she came home. His little face was full of disappointment.Rosalie reluctantly smiled at the little boy. "Sorry, Mommy was swarmed with work today. Once I’m done with that project, I’ll pick you all up, okay?"On the side, Byron frowned slightly. "You don’t like it if it’s just me picking you up? Or do you prefer Uncle Luther picking you up?"Hearing this, the little ones hugged his thigh to appease him. "We don’t want Uncle Luther; We want you, Daddy!"Byron patted their little heads. "Haha, go and play now."The little ones looked at Mommy and then at Daddy. They knew that the adults needed to talk, so they obediently made themselves scarce.Byron walked up to Rosalie and gently place
Two or three days later.Xander asked his assistant coldly, "Is there still no news from Rosalie Jacobs?"The assistant nodded cautiously as he sensed his boss’ foul mood.Xander's face became even more terrible.Rosalie's last visit to him was due to the research institute's supplies running low.He counted the days. The research institute should have run out of medicinal materials by now.How could she stand there and not approach him?He sought confirmation from his assistant again. "How is the current situation of their institute?"The assistant said, "The factory has already shut down. They seemed to have asked for a large number of compensation for lost wages. The preparation of new drugs has completely stopped."Xander asked, "How long has it been?"The assistant recalled, "It's been three days."‘Three days.’Xander sat behind his desk in deep thought, unconsciously drumming his fingers on the table.‘Is it true what Rosalie said? That they’ve already found another
