Chapter 357 Fanning The Flames
Hearing how much Wendy cared about Estie, as well as recalling how her suggestion had been rejected by Byron, there was a trace of displeasure in Melody’s eyes.From what she could see, Wendy cared a lot about Estie. If her son had just listened to her and let Estie have more contact with Wendy over these past few years, Estie might depend on Wendy the way she did on Rosalie.Then, they would not have to go so far as to let Estie be with that woman.Wendy pursed her lips remorsefully. "To be honest, I'm still jealous of Miss Jacobs. She’s able to obtain Estie’s favor in such a short period of time. If only Estie could warm up to me that easily as well..."Wendy kept her eyes on Melody's face as she said that.Melody frowned slightly at those words. "What’re you saying? You’re gonna be Estie's mother in the future, and she’ll warm up to you sooner or later, so who cares about that woman? I’ve already told her that if she makes any contact with Byron or Estie again, I’ll make sure s
Chapter 358 We Can Do As You Wish
Wendy closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.After a while, she heard Melody's voice calling someone from outside the ward."Help me check what Rosalie has been doing since she returned to Somerland."The person on the other end of the call had probably found something and reported it to Melody.Melody replied, "I see. In that case, help me inform all drug suppliers in Coast City that if anyone dares to supply medicinal materials to that Jacobs woman, their actions will be seen as an offense against the Lawrence family!"The person on the other end quickly agreed.Hearing Melody's approaching footsteps, Wendy quickly adjusted her expression, making herself appear to be sleeping soundly.Melody stood by the hospital bed, gazing at Wendy's haggard face as she lay on the bed. Melody’s eyes were full of distress and guilt.That cursed Jacobs woman! She should have never come back after having left six years ago!This time, no matter what, she wanted Rosalie to get out of thei
Chapter 369 Don't Let Them Know For Now
As Rosalie had been busy until quite late the previous night, she managed to sleep soundly when she finally went to bed.The following morning, Rosalie was woken up by the ringing of her phone.Her head was still a little fuzzy after having just woken up. After fumbling around on her bedside table for a while, she finally found the source of the sound.Rosalie looked at the caller ID, then answered her phone in a daze.On the other end, Yves' voice was filled with anxiety as he said, "Dr. Jacobs, we have a problem."Rosalie was suddenly wide awake. She shot up from her bed, and her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "What happened?""A batch of medicinal materials was supposed to arrive this morning, but it's already way past the scheduled time and the goods are still nowhere in sight." Yves' face was filled with dread.The medicinal material suppliers who partnered with their research institute were usually on time with their deliveries.In the past, if the suppliers said
Chapter 360 Why Wait Until Now?
There were only two of them in the office, so their expressions also became more solemn. “I’m not sure if you still remember what the Fullers did to us the last time.” Yves raised his eyebrows. Hearing this, Rosalie frowned slightly and was reminded of the time when she just arrived in her home country and the experience of being targeted by Wendy. All the medicinal material suppliers in Coast City under the Fullers’ control refused to cooperate with them for no reason. The new batch of medicinal material suppliers this time had always cooperated well with her, but they abruptly halted their supply without a reason. There must be someone behind all this.However, who was it? Rosalie’s expression froze, and her mind was in chaos. They resolved the problem Wendy had posed the last time, so she probably would not use the same tactic to go against them. Yves did not explicitly say it, but he knew that this matter was aimed at Rosalie. Looking at Rosalie’s face of contemp
Chapter 361 Not Worth Mentioning
After getting into contact with some people, the only gain for the two was that they knew the real intentions of those suppliers and that somebody was targeting them.However, the medicinal materials that were needed later for the research still needed to be acquired. In this state of urgency, Rosalie thought of Leon. During the conference at that time, she remembered that Leon said they might develop locally and there was a high chance of him staying in Coast City.With Leon’s reputation in the medical profession and the Martin family’s position in Coast City, they would certainly have a broad network.The thought of this made Rosalie’s heart well up with hope. She said to Yves, “I’m going to call a friend.” After saying this, she took her phone out and called Leon. Just as the call got through, Leon picked up and his elegant voice sounded. “What’s up, Rosalie?” Rosalie hesitated for a few seconds. Come to think of it, it seemed like she was always the one accepting help
Chapter 362 Suddenly Take Action
Almost half an hour had passed when Leon finally called back. Rosalie got on the phone almost as soon as the phone lit up and asked urgently, “How is it, Senior?” Leon’s voice sounded a little dignified. “The conversation was going well but as soon as I mentioned your research institute, the other party’s attitude took a 180-degree turn.” Hearing this, the look in Rosalie’s eyes darkened as the corners of her lips pulled into a bitter arc. “I understand. Sorry for troubling you. You don’t have to get involved in this matter again. I’ll figure out a way myself.” She was afraid that if Leon helped her again, the other party would sense something fishy and target him along with her. After she spoke, she heard Leon ask all of a sudden, “What’s going on between you and President Lawrence? He did this, right?” Rosalie could not help but be stunned. Byron? What reasons did he have to do this? Besides, where did Leon get this conclusion? The thought of that question had Rosal
Chapter 363 It Was Prevarication
Rosalie still remembered that time at the coffee shop. Melody had made it clear that if she got involved with Byron, measures would be taken. After that, she never saw that man anymore. She even thought that after all domestic affairs were arranged, she would take her children along to settle down abroad. Melody’s move at this time was disadvantageous to both of them. Rosalie’s head was in pain. She took out her phone and decided to call Melody to ask her. However, after a few calls, it kept saying it was out of service area. Apparently, she had been blocked. Rosalie turned off the phone in frustration and apologized to Yves who was waiting at the side. “I’m sorry, it’s my personal matters that affected the research institute.” Yves had already guessed that when he heard her conversation with Leon earlier and saw her emotions shift after that. Hearing this, he gently smiled. “Since it has happened, let’s just think of how we can solve this.” Rosalie nodded. Both of
Chapter 364 This Is My Personal Matter
“How did it go? The Quirkes are also calling off the cooperation?” Rosalie frowned and asked. Yves’ expression was awful as he nodded slightly. He had always looked composed, and this was the first time that he looked this awful. Rosalie did not know what was said on the line earlier. She only thought that the manager’s bad attitude was what made Yves look like this. “It’s not worth getting pissed off over it. After all, it’s my responsibility. I’ll think of a way.” She smiled and consoled him as if nothing happened. Yves felt useless for not being able to help Rosalie and the research institute. “Quirke Enterprise is a huge company. Shouldn’t they be trustworthy?” Rosalie was slightly startled. “Back then, so many doctors were helpless about Old Master Quirke’s illness and you were the one who took action in the end so that he could be healed. Besides, they were the ones who said they’d sell us the medicinal materials at half price, but they’re going back on their word
