Chapter 416 Doomed
Rosalie felt strangely reassured when she saw that he did step in to stop Mason in the end. As a result, she calmed down considerably. She remembered the cold and distant look he had before, as well as the anger blatant in his face now.All Rosalie felt was a deep sense of irony. Perhaps he thought that he could dictate what happened to her at any given time. She was nothing more than a toy to him. She pursed her lips self-deprecatingly at the thought. Ignoring the chaos before her, she turned to leave.However, a hand grabbed her wrist forcefully as soon as she turned around.She did not need to look back to know who it was.Rosalie turned around to look at her captive wrist and said coolly, "If you've had your fun, President Lawrence, please let go of me."Everyone's expressions shifted at that. They had heard of Byron before, but they had only seen his face occasionally on the TV.No wonder they thought he looked familiar when he first showed up earlier.Still, they
Chapter 417 I Suppose We're Even Now
After Mason and his crew left, Byron and Rosalie were the only ones left in the corridor. Rosalie's wrist was still in Byron's grip. He did not look like he was going to let go any time soon, but Rosalie did not fly off the handle. She just said calmly, "They're gone, so you can let go now. Don't worry, I won't run away."Byron watched her carefully for a few seconds before he slowly let go. Rosalie rubbed her sore wrist and to two steps back before looking up to meet his gaze. "Is there anything else, President Lawrence?"Byron frowned abruptly. He saved her, but she did not even thank him. And now she was asking him if there was anything else?"Miss Jacobs, I just helped you again. Is this how you repay me?" His tone was cold.Rosalie smirked at him mirthlessly. "Helped me? If you really wanted to help me, you wouldn't have told Jones to continue where he left off. Face it, you just wanted to see me dance to your tune. Don't make yourself sound holier than you are."The
Chapter 418 Get Them Together
Her cold attitude frustrated Byron, so he said coolly, "Lucian and Nox are still waiting for you at home, so I hope you'll watch yourself, Miss Jacobs."Rosalie did not want to dwell on this topic either, so she nodded calmly. "Thank you for the reminder, President Lawrence."The two of them exchanged a look, both of their hearts roiling with emotion. Byron pulled his gaze back with a frown and turned to leave the hotel. He only came here today for her.However, her attitude was making him reluctant to stay here for even a second longer.As he walked away, Rosalie frowned slightly, her suspicions rising again. He came to this banquet for work, didn't he? So why was he leaving already?She could almost believe that he was leaving because of her.After what he said earlier, though, Rosalie did not want to get carried away again. She looked away from him and turned back into the hall.Mason and his friends were nowhere to be seen now.As soon as Rosalie went in, she met Pres
Chapter 419 A Sincere Thanks
Inside the car across the road, the driver felt the air pressure drop suddenly. His palms became sweaty.After a long pause, Byron pulled his gaze away from the hotel entrance and said coldly, "Head back."The driver slowly started the car and drove toward the hotel where Byron was staying.On the other side, Rosalie was completely oblivious to Byron's presence as she got into the passenger seat of Leon's car.As soon as they were inside, Rosalie politely took off the coat and put it onto the backseat. Leon asked her for her hotel's address and started up the car.No one said anything in the car for a long time. Rosalie stared out the window, lost in thought.She really did not understand Byron's attitude toward her earlier…"Is it alright for you to leave so soon? What about President Lawrence?" Leon asked suddenly. Rosalie was dazed for a moment before she returned to her senses and frowned in confusion. "What does my leaving have to do with him?"Leon looked at her throu
Chapter 420 Are We Gonna Die?
The car stopped outside the hotel. Rosalie bid Leon goodbye and got out of his car, heading back into the hotel. Early the next morning, Rosalie went to President Zimmer's office at the agreed time and signed the deal as planned. After that, she boarded the plane for home. Once she got onto the plane, Rosalie finally felt her nerves relax gradually. She had been tense for several days now.After she reached home, she would keep an eye on things for a while longer. Once she was sure that the companies she had just signed with could keep up a steady supply, she could leave the country without any more worries. Just as she was lost in thought, someone took the seat next to her.When she returned to her senses and instinctively looked at the person next to her, her expression stiffened. "Are you going to accuse me of stalking you again?" Byron lifted an eyebrow at her cynically. "If you mind, should I change seats?"Rosalie dug her nails into her palms to keep her anger in check
Chapter 421 Rosalie Is Terrified
At that moment, nobody was listening to the details of the announcement. A loud cacophony rang out as the passengers on the plane started crying, screaming, and questioning what was happening. It was the first time Rosalie had encountered such a situation. She could not help but feel rather uneasy. However, she tried her best to calm down. The uneasiness in her heart grew as she heard the noises outside. The plane continued moving shakily. All of a sudden, someone started crying as they yelled out loud, “My children are still waiting for me back at home!” Rosalie heard the person’s cries loud and clear. She widened her eyes as the sense of uneasiness in her heart flared up to the maximum point. Her children… Lucian and Nox were still waiting for her at home. She had selfishly refused to tell them about their true identities. If something happened to her, what should they do? Rosalie’s face paled when she thought about how Lucian and Nox would be all alone if a
Chapter 422 How Do You Want Me To Thank You?
The air turbulence gradually stopped. However, Rosalie’s mind was completely blank. Rosalie finally returned to her senses when the plane landed. She still felt rather frightened when she thought about what had happened just now. “I told you that we’d land safely,” Byron’s deep voice rang out by her ear. “However, since we’ve already landed, shouldn’t you let go of me now, Miss Jacobs?” Rosalie was stunned. She was way too panicked just now. She had almost forgotten about Byron’s existence. Let go of him? What was he talking about? Just as she was feeling extremely dazed, something moved in her left hand. Rosalie lowered her head and glanced down. She noticed that their hands were intertwined at the connecting part of both their seats. More accurately, she was holding onto Byron’s hand tightly. Her fingerprints were on his hand. She was gripping onto his hand so forcefully that her hand felt rather stiff now. Therefore, she did not realize that she was ho
Chapter 423 A Fact That Cannot Be Denied
Rosalie remained seated on her seat for some time as she watched Byron leave the plane. After a while, she slowly got up. As soon as she stood up, a wave of dizziness washed over her. Her body seemed to be reacting to the shock that she experienced just now. Rosalie held onto the seat in front of her for support. After stabilizing herself, she cautiously got off the plane.She felt uncomfortable everywhere while walking down the plane. Her stomach cramped painfully as well. After entering the airport, Rosalie quickly walked in the direction of the washrooms.“Ugh!” A passerby grumbled impatiently when Rosalie bumped into him as he was walking with his luggage behind him. Rosalie resisted the discomfort that she felt and bowed at the man in a hurry to apologize to him. She then stood up straight, covered her mouth, and quickly ran to the washroom.Byron suddenly heard noises coming from behind him. He turned around instinctively and looked behind. He saw Rosalie running towa
