Chapter 1677 So-Called Business Genius
The phone rang for nearly a minute before the person on the other end picked up."Who’s on the line?" Xander's voice was full of arrogance and disdain.Byron frowned and replied calmly. "It's me, Byron Lawrence."As if he had just reacted, Xander gave an exaggerated response, "Oh! So, it’s President Lawrence. I assumed it was someone being inconsiderate to call me while I was at work."This was almost a backhanded comment directed at Byron.However, Byron seemed not to have heard the sarcasm in his words and apologized frankly, "It seems I may have called at the wrong time. If this is a bad time, then call me back when you’re free, Mr. Lancer.”After that, Byron kept quiet, but he did not hang up the phone immediately.Xander thought Byron was going to hang up the phone and became a little anxious. "Wait!"Byron frowned slightly. Xander's reaction was within his expectations."Since you’ve called, I must make time even if I’m busy!"Xander sneered, "I wonder how I can help yo
Chapter 1678 Unworthy Person
In the evening, the two met in the hotel at six o'clock sharp.Byron had no patience to wait any longer. He rushed over immediately after hanging up the phone.When Xander arrived, there was only a jug of plain water on the table. There was not even a decent drink.Byron must have stopped the waiter from serving food using the same reason last time.Xander was unsettled. The smile on his face was a little cold."I'm so flattered that you’re waiting for me, President Lawrence."He stepped forward and sat down two seats away from Byron. "If the food in this hotel isn’t up to your preference, you should’ve told me earlier."Byron seemed to have noticed his existence. He just raised his eyes and glanced at him, ignoring his strange demeanor."I have nothing against the food here. I just don't think it's necessary."With that, Byron went straight to the point and brought up business. "I’ve prepared the transfer documents for the ten companies. You only need to sign them and those c
Chapter 1679 So What If He’s Superior
"President Lawrence, how is it? What’s your decision regarding my third request?"With a sinister smile, Xander pushed further after explaining the origin of the drug.Byron was taken aback. Then, he quickly regained his composure and turned to meet his gaze. "Deal."Xander was dissatisfied. "Only verbally? Any concrete evidence? Without evidence, how do I know if you’ll make good on your word? Although I believe in your character, I’ve worked hard to get this antidote. If you deceive me, won’t I be made a fool?”Byron frowned slightly. "What evidence do you want?"Xander raised his eyebrows adamantly. "A marriage certificate, of course. It's a bit late now, and the Civil Affairs Bureau is probably off working hours. However, if you issue a public statement now, I'm willing to accept it."Xander’s gaze on Byron was intended to provoke.Among these three requirements, he knew best which one was the most unacceptable to Byron.After he made this request, Byron's struggling expres
Chapter 1680 Woman To Sign The Papers
Seven o'clock in the evening.Byron's car arrived at Lawrence Mansion.The mansion was brightly lit. Byron sat in the car alone for a few minutes before getting out. His footsteps were heavy.He walked from the gate to the main door of the mansion.Along the way, he adjusted his expression."Young Master."The butler greeted him respectfully. "The madam and the master are having dinner."Byron nodded and followed behind.He saw Melody and Benedict sitting at the dining table as soon as he entered.It was uncertain what his parents were talking about. Melody's face was a little displeased, while Benedict looked very helpless.Benedict noticed his son coming in. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you here all of a sudden? Have you eaten yet? Come join us if you haven't."Byron nodded and sat down opposite Melody.Only then did Melody speak. "You’re just in time. Your dad and I are talking about Chloe! That girl from the Lincoln family, do you remember? You grew up together."
Chapter 1681 I Won’t Interfere With Your Decision
When Rosalie was mentioned, Byron's eyes darkened slightly. He quickly shook it off before his parents realized it."As for Estie...I will talk to her. If she wanted to follow her mother, I will not stop her."He only talked about his arrangements for Estie, but not a word about his feelings for Rosalie.Melody found it even more shocking that her son had already considered Estie’s arrangements."Byron, what's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell? Did you have a fever?"Melody had always disliked Rosalie, but no one knows better than her how obsessed her son has become with that woman.She was already prepared for a long struggle in this matter. Why would he let Rosalie go so easily?This does not seem right.Byron looked at her indifferently, and asked firmly, "Hasn't it always been your wish that I marry another woman? Why are you reacting this way now that I propose to marry another?"Melody was left speechless. She still felt that something was wrong and could only
Chapter 1682 Where To Get Papers So Late
Melody and Byron sat in the living room, waiting for Chloe's arrival.Both mother and son were relatively silent.After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound at the door.Melody glanced at her son and got up to greet her in person."Hello, Aunty."At the door, a woman with a graceful temperament walked in. She had a sweet smile and a soft voice. Her gestures were elegant and ladylike. Chloe wore a long, dark green dress and a white handbag. She wrapped Melody's arm affectionately with the other hand.When she returned to Somerland, the two had already met several times. They had gotten close over this period.Melody was satisfied with her in every possible way.In her mind, this was the best daughter-in-law she imagined having!"I'm really sorry. I don't know if you have eaten dinner. This was such a bad time for Auntie to call you." Melody greeted her with a smile.Chloe smiled like she did not mind. Oh, don’t worry. I'm on a diet lately, and I don't eat at night."
Chapter 1683 Does Estie Know
Suddenly, Chloe did not know how to react. The only he talked about was marriage.At the same time, Melody overheard Byron just as she was about to serve them tea. She was surprised too.She thought that her son was being emotional and that he would change his mind after meeting Chloe.She never expected that he would propose.On top of that, he did it so bluntly!"Byron, what’s the matter with you? Why did you suddenly propose to marry me?"When Chloe came back to her senses, her intuition told her something.‘Something must’ve happened for Byron to do this!‘What is it, then?’Melody paused at Chloe’s question and looked at her son in puzzlement.‘I’ve asked him repeatedly, but he wouldn’t tell me. Now, even Chloe thinks so. There must be something wrong.‘I wonder if he will tell Chloe the truth.’She was waiting at the kitchen door.She thought Byron would say something. However, after waiting for a while, Byron unexpectedly turned his head and looked over.The mother
Chapter 1684 Find A Candidate So Quickly
The two got in the car as soon as they left the mansion.On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chloe just felt a little unbelievable.‘I actually said yes.‘Signing the marriage papers with my long-lost childhood friend that I haven't seen for many years.‘Unreal.’Byron noticed she was distracted and asked, "What are you thinking?"Chloe came back to her senses and smiled nonchalantly. "Oh, nothing. This just feels like a dream. I never expected the Lawrence family to be so powerful that you could even control the Civil Affairs Bureau office hours."Byron responded indifferently. "It's just stamping a seal. This would take only one person’s effort, not a big deal."Chloe smiled and said nothing.Half an hour later, Byron arrived on time at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The two went in to apply for a marriage certificate.They left the Civil Affairs Bureau and Byron drove towards Lancer Ancestral Residence.Chloe did not respond either. She just held the marria
