Chapter 723 Breaking News
Xander was initially surprised by what Rosalie said but then found her answer reasonable just about a split second later. After all, ever since he had gotten to know Rosalie, he had known she was not a shy person. When that thought appeared in his mind, Xander gave the woman sitting in the backseat an appreciative glance. Rosalie had a neutral expression but a determined look in her eyes. Xander felt his heart flutter when he saw the expression on her face.The traffic was slightly congested, and the two barely made it to the restaurant in time. They had expected Stacy to already be there. However, they did not even catch a glimpse of Stacy when they arrived. Upon seeing the empty table, the two exchanged glances. They both had a feeling that something was off. “I’ll make a call and ask,” Xander said after the two sat down. There was a frown on his face. Rosalie nodded in agreement. She felt slightly uneasy but did not know where this feeling of uneasiness stemmed. “
Chapter 724 Don’t Take It Too Personally
After hanging up the phone, she slowly got up and adjusted her expression before deliberately acting flustered as she headed toward the restaurant.“Sorry for making you guys wait.”Stacy glanced at the two apologetically as she walked in through the door. Upon seeing that she had finally arrived, both Rosalie and Xander heaved an inward sigh of relief as they smiled at her and said, “It’s no big deal. Hurry over and sit down!” Stacy nodded and sat down next to them. When she noticed they had not even taken a single bite of the food, she clicked her tongue and said, “Didn’t I tell you guys to go ahead? Why did you wait for me? I feel so embarrassed now that the food has gone cold.” Rosalie was not close to her and merely smiled without saying anything. Xander replied perfunctorily, “You’re the host, so it’s only right that we wait for you.” An awkward silence fell after he finished speaking. Rosalie gave Xander an awkward glance. She did not know what she should do.If i
Chapter 725 Why Didn’t You Come Pick Us Up?
“What’s wrong?” Xander frowned and asked when he saw the odd look on her face. Rosalie furrowed her brows and waved a hand as she looked at Stacy. She did not know if Stacy had done this on purpose or not. Why did she choose such a strong alcoholic drink when treating guests to dinner? However, she did not feel like anything was off after drinking it. Rosalie could not help but wonder if she was overthinking things.The three had nothing else to discuss after having several drinks. After all, they had only gathered because there were apologies to be made. Stacy was a self-aware person herself and stood to leave after exchanging a few words with them. Xander watched Stacy leave, then turned to the person next to him. “Are you hungry? Want to grab a bite to eat?” The two had not eaten much just now as the food had already gone cold. Rosalie felt her head spinning. She did not know what sort of drink Stacy had given her. She only had a small glass of it, but it had su

Rosalie and the little guys exchanged glances when they heard the doorbell. They all immediately thought of Byron and his daughter. After all, Byron had been dropping by with his daughter around this time recently. Rosalie did not think much of it as she got up to open the door. However, when she opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of her best friend standing at the door with a panicked expression. “What’s wrong?” Rosalie asked, a sinking feeling appearing in her heart. When Mary looked over Rosalie’s shoulder and saw the two little guys still having their breakfast in the dining room, she frowned slightly as she pulled Rosalie out of the house. Rosalie could tell she did not want the little guys to hear anything, thus she walked to the garden with her. “What’s wrong?” “Did you read this morning’s news?” Mary asked in a solemn

Chapter 728 Do The Hudsons Have Anything To Do With This?
Rosalie wanted to make a statement of her own.However, she only used her social media to browse the news on weekdays. It was practically a blank account. Even if she posted something, people might not see it.After thinking about it, Rosalie ended up calling Yves. She asked him to use the research institute's account to make a statement.Although the research institute did not have that much popularity, it was at least much better than using her own account."What's going on?" Yves had been busy making his way to the research institute early that morning and did not know about the news until Rosalie called him.Seeing the photos of Rosalie and Xander getting along in the news, Yves only felt a pain in his heart.Rosalie sighed helplessly. "I’m not able to explain it properly either. In short, what happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding. Xander and I weren’t the only ones at the dinner."Hearing her explanation, Yves' mood was still low, but he held onto the thought that

Chapter 730 Why Did You Say That?
The commotion neared from a distance.After a while, Byron appeared in front of Rosalie with a cold expression.Looking at the man in front of her, Rosalie's eyes were filled with astonishment. "Why are you here?"The man seemed to have just finished a meeting. He was dressed in a suit, and his tie was slightly loose as if someone had pulled it.Hearing her question, Byron’s expression became colder. "Why can't I come when you can?"After saying that, Byron gave her a look at her that held suppressed anger. He then turned to face the reporters behind him. His icy gaze swept across the reporters' faces one by one. "If you have any questions, I can answer them for her."Everyone trembled with a start at Byron’s gaze. They each looked back at one another. For a moment, no one dared say anything.Considering Byron’s position, if they were to say one wrong word today, they might lose their jobs because of it.No one wanted to face such a situation.Byron frowned. He grabbed the wri
