Chapter 408 Still Thinking of Escaping
The style Rosalie chose was very simple. Her makeup was done very quickly, and she picked out a dress to try on.The stylist was waiting outside.The stylist’s eyes were filled with astonishment when Rosalie came out. "Miss, this dress was made just for you!"He has been styling for so many years and it was rare to see someone come to Arachne for a simple style.Although he had noticed Rosalie's outstanding appearance before starting the makeup, the look she chose was simple. The stylist anticipated that the outcome would be adequately pretty, but not necessarily stunning.Seeing Rosalie like this right now, he was astonished.A lock of Rosalie's hair was pulled behind her head into a simple bun and fixed with a simple pearl hairpin. The rest of her hair was casually draped behind her head, her facial features not covered at all. She was only wearing light makeup, but the make-up artist had sneakily snuck some glitter on the peaks of her lips. She was wearing a warm, white off-sh
Chapter 409 Very Well-Matched
Rosalie pursed her lips angrily and struggled for a bit. She could not break free from his shackles, however.Sensing her struggle, Byron’s face darkened slightly. "Are you going to take a taxi from the road dressed like this? What kind of weather do you think it is now?""I don’t need President Lawrence worrying. I can take care of myself," Rosalie responded coldly.Byron was then aware that the concern in his words just now had been too obvious. He frowned and said, "It won’t be easy to hail a taxi on this road. I'm afraid the dinner party would have long started by the time you get there."Rosalie turned and glanced at the road.Arachne was indeed in a very remote location. There were very few cars on the road and no sign of a taxi.She likely would have to trek quite a distance before she could get one.Even so, she did not want Byron to give her a ride. Rosalie turned around and was about to say something when suddenly, the mobile phone in her bag rang.Rosalie frowned s
Chapter 410 Surprised Him
Rosalie's expression was stiff. She pursed her lips and did not speak again.The entire journey was silent. The car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Yinghui.The dinner party looked to have already started and the entrance was filled with luxury cars.Seeing this, Rosalie could not help feeling a little anxious. After getting out of the car, she was anxious to get to the hotel door.Byron frowned slightly before he asked in a cold voice, "Miss Jacobs, do you intend to burn the bridge now that you've received my help?"Rosalie stopped. She looked back at him with confusion and hesitantly said, "Thank you, President Lawrence."She turned back and went ahead first after she said that.Byron's sarcastic voice sounded behind her. "Does Miss Jacobs wish to send me away with just a thank you?"Rosalie was anxious and helpless, but she could only force herself to calm down. "What do you want then, President Lawrence? I'm in a hurry and I don't have time to invite you for coff
Chapter 411 I Wish I Could Do More
Rosalie frowned in exasperation. She did not know how to explain, so she said, "I just happened to bump into him downstairs."Leon looked at her doubtfully. Rosalie's expression softened, and her voice took on a pleading edge as well. "Look, it's not what you think it is, okay? I'll never get together with him again."She did not want anyone else to misunderstand their relationship anymore. Leon smiled warmly at her expression and let the matter go. "Senior Lewis is taking a break upstairs, and President Zimmer is with him. They're waiting for you. Were you looking for them?"Rosalie had been searching for them to no avail, so she was relieved to hear that. She nodded and said, "Where are they? Please take me to them. I have something to discuss with President Zimmer, and I want to apologize to Senior Lewis too."Leon readily agreed and led her out of the hall, taking her upstairs. At the same time, Byron was watching them from behind them, his heart filled with fury.Was Ma
Chapter 412 No Time To Make Friends
Senior Lewis may be a self-professed academic, but everyone here was in the pharmaceutical industry. Many of them relied on his skills for their companies. While it sounded like Senior Lewis was apologizing to Rosalie for not helping her out more, he was actually throwing his weight behind her.She knew that, of course, and she looked at him gratefully. His words obviously had an effect. The others quickly agreed to the deal."President Quirke told us that you were very capable, Dr. Jacobs. Since Senior Lewis is saying the same thing, we'll take their word for it!""You're so young, Dr. Jacobs, and you're a woman, yet you're single-handedly keeping an entire research institute afloat. That's very impressive!""..."They showered her with praise. Rosalie knew that they were only praising her because of Andrius' and Senior Lewis' support. Still, at least the deal was sealed now.That thought gave her the patience to respond to their empty compliments one by one. President Z
Chapter 413 A Safe Distance
Mason's expression shifted when she turned him down, and his tone took on a harder edge. "I think you misunderstood me, Miss Jacobs. That's not what I meant when I said I wanted to get to know you better."Rosalie frowned in confusion. She did not know what he was getting at.Mason tugged at his lips suggestively. "I think one night should be enough for us to get to know each other."He made his intentions very clear with that.Rosalie paused and quickly realized what he was suggesting. Her expression turned cold. "I'm not interested, so please stop disturbing me. I'd like some time alone."This was the second time she rejected him. Mason did not look pleased at all.However, there were too many people at the party for him to try anything. He straightened up angrily and raised the wine glass he was holding toward Rosalie again, his tone threatening. "In that case, you'll at least do me the favor of accepting this toast, right?"Rosalie hesitated. She knew that he was a spoiled
Chapter 414 Filled With Regret
"Why don't you ask them? No woman in S City would ever turn me down!"Mason pressed in closer to Rosalie, looking down at her. "You should be honored that I approached you. It's your fault for being such a prick! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're pretty! Don't forget, this is S City!"Rosalie forced herself to calm down. She glanced at his backup and softened her stance. "I didn't mean to offend you. If you want to get to know me, Young Master Jones, just tell me. I'll be scared if you surround me with so many guys. I'm almost too scared to be your friend now."Mason thought she had finally come around, so he turned back and gave his friends a look. The others wisely left, but not before looking at Mason and Rosalie suggestively. Now, the two of them were alone, standing off against each other.Mason boldly checked out Rosalie's body, from head to toe. Rosalie clenched her hands into fists and swallowed her displeasure. She forced a smile and secret
Chapter 415 How Dare You Hit Me
As the man approached them, Mason glanced at his friends nearby and gathered the courage to stand in his way. "Do you know this woman?"Byron slowed down and glanced at the man expressionlessly for a moment before settling his gaze on Rosalie. Her eyes were lowered and her lips pursed. She had no intention of asking him for help.Byron felt nothing but a deep sense of irony. Even now, she still wanted to avoid him.In that case, he would do as she wanted.He pulled his gaze back and said coldly, "No, I don't know her."Mason secretly heaved a sigh of relief.The man on the ground struggled to his feet and huffed as he pointed an accusatory finger at Byron's back. "Why the f*ck did you kick me?!"Byron glanced back at him coldly.The man felt his blood run cold, and he wisely chose to shut up. A second later, he heard Byron say icily, "Because you were in my way."The man opened his mouth angrily, but Byron intimidated him so he did not actually dare to say anything. He h
