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
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
“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
The two of them had a brief discussion before Rosalie dialed Andrius Quirke’s number on the phone.It was very quickly answered. “How may I help you, Dr. Jacobs?”They had not been in touch since Old Master Quirke’s birthday celebration, so Andrius was a little confused to receive a phone call from Rosalie out of the blue.Rosalie spoke nonchalantly, “Is Old Master Quirke at home? I wanna go over to give him a quick medical check-up to see how he’s doing.”Andrius was quick to answer. “That’s so kind of you. Grandpa is home. You can come.”After making sure that Old Master Quirke was at home, Rosalie hung up, grabbed her medical kit, and went on her way.As she was just arriving at the Quirke manor, the butler was already standing at the door, waiting.“Miss Jacobs, Young Master Quirke got me to wait here to escort you in when you’ve arrived. He’s waiting for you in the living room.” Seeing that Rosalie had arrived, the butler went up to greet her courteously.Rosalie nodded an
Rosalie merely smiled in response. She looked up at Andrius, who was standing opposite her, and smiled. “I’ve also come to ask Young Master Quirke a favor.”Andrius was quick to agree. “Go ahead, Dr. Jacobs.”Rosalie was about to reply when Old Master Quirke waved. “Let’s not talk here. Lunch is almost ready. Stay for lunch, Dr. Jacobs. The two of you can talk while you eat.”A tinge of turmoil flashed through Rosalie’s eyes.The purpose of her visit was leaning more toward confronting Andrius rather than asking for a favor.With Old Master Quirke being such a passionate host, Rosalie did not know if she could continue with accusing words.Andrius was quick to agree as well. “You must’ve made quite a journey when you came over, Dr. Jacobs. Stay for lunch, okay?”Right after he was done, he helped Old Master Quirke walk back into the villa.Rosalie had no other choice but to follow behind them. What she had rehearsed in her head was completely discarded.At the dining table, Ro
Old Master Quirke also had an ugly expression.Quirke Enterprise had made a promise to Rosalie because she saved his life, but the promise was not fulfilled. This felt as if a tight slap on his face!‘Besides, Rosalie Jacobs is my savior!’ “We must investigate this immediately! Find out who’s the one who disobeyed my orders!” The old master was extremely angry. Rosalie quickly comforted the old master after seeing him so mad. “Old Master, I feel relieved since it’s not your order. Please calm down. I’m not blaming you all. I just want to clarify the matter.” Old Master Quirke took in a few deep breaths and said to Rosalie, “Even if the rest don’t bother about this, this old man here will definitely seek justice for you! I’m here well and alive. I shall see who’s so arrogant to disregard me!”Rosalie quickly nodded in agreement. What she wanted to say about Lawrence Corporation was still lingering on her lips, but she ended up not saying it. It seemed that Lawrence Corporatio
At the same time, in the Quirke family. After Rosalie left, Old Master Quirke’s expression turned extremely ugly. The caretaker came over and wanted to help him exercise, but he was in a bad mood. “I’m not exercising today. Go back to where you came from.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Andrius again. "And you, since you promised to cooperate with Dr. Jacobs’ research institute, why is there a problem now? You didn’t notice it in time, and you didn’t know until she came to our door. What if she hadn’t come today? Was Quirke Enterprise really going to break our promise?!”Andrius lowered his head respectfully and took all the blame. He then spoke apologetically, “Grandpa, it’s my mistake. I’ll investigate this immediately and definitely provide an explanation to Dr. Jacobs. It won’t affect the reputation of Quirke Enterprise!”Old Master Quirke slammed his walking cane on the floor twice and said coldly, "Investigate now! I'll come with you! Let's see which idiot dared
“So what if he doesn’t know about it? All medicinal materials suppliers in Coast City listen to Lawrence Corporation. Quirke Enterprise is just following whatever they’re doing as they’ve chosen not to work with Rosalie Jacobs.” The person on the other line was stunned for a few seconds before answering righteously. Hearing that, Don felt chills running through his heart. He knew that he had been deceived, but it was too late. “If President Quirke questions me about this…” Don asked for the person’s opinion hesitantly.The person on the other line went silent once again before simply giving some vague answers, “Just say whatever you need to. He’s probably not clear about what Lawrence Corporation is doing and that’s why he came to look for you. Just tell him what you know.”That being said, the person hung up the call without waiting for Don to respond. Don broke out in a cold sweat.Although the person did not mention it directly, he was not dumb. It was obvious that all th
