The sudden ringing of the mobile phone broke the stiff atmosphere at the table.Thinking about the relationship between the woman in front of him and Leon, Byron picked up the call immediately without looking at the caller ID.The moment the call connected, a concerned-sounding female voice came from the other end."Byron, I heard from Aunt Melody that you went to North City for business. How is it? Has the matter been solved?"Wendy had gone to the company to look for Byron yesterday but did not get to meet him. Hence, she asked Melody about it. It was only then she found out that Byron had gone to North City. Hence, she called him early this morning to offer some words of concern. She thought her call would be rejected just like before, but she did not expect to get through to him so quickly. Wendy thought that Byron had finally let go of his prejudice against her, so her voice filled with joy.Hearing Wendy's voice, Byron frowned slightly. He subconsciously raised his gaze
"What happened? Why are you so angry?"Magdalene heard movement upstairs and saw Wendy's ugly expression the moment she came in. She came forward with concern and led her to the bed to sit down.Wendy shook away her hand angrily as soon as she sat down. "Byron is with that b*tch again!"Hearing this, Magdalene's expression sank, and she became even more alert. "How? Didn't Melody say that she has talked to Byron? Could there have been a misunderstanding?"Thinking of Rosalie's voice on the phone just now and Byron's cold attitude toward her, Wendy was beside herself with fury. "I heard that b*tch's voice with my own ears! There can be no misunderstanding!"Moreover, based on Byron’s attitude just now, it was clear that she had disturbed them! Otherwise, why would he hang up the call the moment it connected?!That b*tch! She left just like that all those years ago. Now that she had returned, just what hallucinogenic drug did she slip Byron?!Magdalene frowned. "Didn't Byron go on
It was noon when Wendy arrived in North City. She had called Melody to ask where Byron’s hotel was on the way there. After getting off the plane, she went directly to the hotel.At the door of the hotel, Wendy frowned slightly when she saw the hotel in front of her. The suspicions she had grew stronger and stronger.Considering who Byron was, he would at least stay in a five-star hotel when traveling on business. This hotel in front of her looked high-end, but it was far from the class of hotels that Byron would stay in.Unless… he really came searching for that wench, Rosalie.Thinking of this, Wendy's heart sank again. She quickly walked up to the front desk. "Hello, I'm looking for someone. Could you please help me search for the room number of one Byron Lawrence?"The front desk staff member looked at her and was about to ask her what her relationship was with Byron when Wendy immediately added, "I'm his fiancee. I called him just now. He told me the room number, but I instant
Their eyes met, and a touch of coldness crossed Wendy's heart.As she had expected, that wench was also staying here!Rosalie could no longer avoid her. She simply walked in the direction of the elevator calmly, pretending not to have seen her.Wendy saw through her intent. She bit down on her teeth hard and strode up, "Miss Jacobs, Young Master Leon, what a coincidence. Are you two also staying here?"Rosalie frowned slightly, not wanting to pay any attention to her.To the side, Leon could tell what Rosalie was thinking and calmly walked in between the two of them to separate Rosalie from Wendy. He nodded to her distantly. "Miss Fuller, what a coincidence. You're—"Before he could finish speaking, Wendy interrupted with a smile, "It's too much of a coincidence. Byron is also staying in this hotel, and I was just thinking of surprising him! Look, I just got his room card."With that, Wendy pretended to take out the room card unconsciously and shook it in front of them. She quic
Back in her room, Rosalie’s expression turned somewhat ugly. Her mind was also empty as she sat down on the bed and spaced out.She did not think she would meet Byron here and especially did not think that Wendy would come chasing over.If the three of them were to bump into one another…Rosalie could not even imagine what would unfold.Thinking of this, Rosalie’s gaze focused as she got up and began packing her luggage.If she could not afford to trigger them, she could still afford to avoid them.Either way, she had no more business in North City. Her leaving whenever would make no difference.As she was halfway packing her things, a knock sounded on her door.Rosalie got up. When she was going to open the door, she hesitated for a moment before asking, “Who is it?”Leon’s voice sounded from outside the door. “It’s me. It’s about time for lunch. Do you want to go together?”Only after hearing this did Rosalie open the door and let Leon into the room.Seeing her almost pack
Looking at Rosalie’s leaving figure from the back, Byron’s expression tightened.The woman was still fine and dandy this morning and did not have the slightest intention of leaving. Why did she suddenly want to leave this afternoon?If his ears did not deceive him, she seemed to have mentioned something about his fiancee waiting for him in his room just now.What did she mean by this?Looking at their figures disappearing from his sight, Byron told Luther in a deep voice, "Buy tickets for the earliest flight back to Coast City."Luther affirmed.Byron turned around and strode into the elevator with a heavy expression.He wanted to see who his so-called fiancee was!That woman had said that his future wife was waiting for him in his room.Byron’s expression was cold when he opened the door. After entering the room, he glanced around the room expressionlessly but did not see anyone at all.He was just about to ask Luther to look into this when a knock sounded on his door all of
Wendy just wanted to know whether Byron came here for Rosalie by beating about the bush.Although she already had a guess, she still wanted to hear Byron explain it himself.However, she did not expect to have accidentally crossed the line.Seeing Byron's cold expression, Wendy panicked. She steeled her composure and apologized, "I said too much. Of course, you’d have your reason for staying here."With that, she tentatively asked, "When are you going to go back? Maybe we can go back together?"Byron lifted his gaze and glanced at Luther.Luther respectfully said, "Sir, the ticket has already been bought."Perhaps it was a coincidence, but there was only one first-class ticket left when he bought it.Byron leisurely got up from the sofa. "Then pack up and get ready to go."With that, Byron slid a hand into his pocket with one hand. He stood in front of the full-length window and looked downstairs from a distance.If he headed over now, he might still be able to catch up to th
An hour later, on the plane to Coast City.When Rosalie saw the man entering the hatch, her brows furrowed slightly.She thought Byron's words just now were just empty words since they had also bought their tickets in a hurry.Moreover, when she bought the tickets, she noted that there were only three more tickets left. After she bought the tickets with Leon, there was only the last one remaining. She did not expect, however, that Byron would so coincidentally buy the last ticket. Seeing the man getting closer and closer to her, regret rushed through Rosalie's eyes.She had only planned to go back by herself just now, so she went ahead and bought her ticket first. Hence, she and Leon had bought their tickets separately. They did not get the tickets for the side-by-side seats. The last ticket was for the seat beside her… Rosalie did not expect it to be Byron's seat at first and did not think of switching seats with other people.At present, she was sitting by the window, an
