After Old Master Lancer and Rosalie greeted each other, they discussed the project. Rosalie took over Yves’ job and showed Old Master Lancer around the rest of the departments in the research institute.Soon, it was noon, and the visit ended. Rosalie booked a table at the restaurant, and they headed for lunch.“You mentioned something that came up before you came. What happened?”When they walked out of the research institute, Xander casually approached Rosalie and asked with concern. “You were late. The Dr. Jacobs I know is always punctual.”Rosalie smiled. “Nothing serious. The kids were throwing a tantrum.”Xander did not think much about it. He put on an understanding smile as he nodded. “I understand it’s difficult to have kids at home.”Old Master Lancer turned around and looked at them. “What are you talking about that you have to whisper?”Rosalie and Xander laughed and approached Old Master Xander to walk by his side.Yves was not familiar with Xander and Old Master La
The rumors on the internet had spread widely. Yves could only post some statements on behalf of the research institute, yet they did not help much.However, the rumors gradually faded out of a sudden. The situation even changed after Quentin’s interview the following day.Now that Yves knew it was Byron who resolved the situation, he felt petty and low that he could not even help Rosalie.Uneasiness overpowered him when he recalled the midnight when he saw Byron in Rosalie’s house.He could guess the relationship between Rosalie and Byron was more intimate than expected since Byron was in her house at hours like that.Aware of this, Yves felt the pressure of possibly losing the chance to win Rosalie’s heart.He always thought that he could silently accompany Rosalie.However, when he saw Rosalie with other men and became aware of the fact that she might even probably be dating someone, he knew he might not even stand a fair chance to get Rosalie. It made him realize he was not a
After lunch, Rosalie and the others headed back to the research institute to discuss further the details of the project cooperation.As they walked out of the restaurant, something flashed twice from the bushes across the road and disappeared.After the group got into the car and left, the person behind the bushes came out.The man looked at the photos in his camera as he nodded in satisfaction. Then, he left the place....Meanwhile, Byron had arrived at the Quirke family’s place.“Byron, what has brought you here all of a sudden?”The butler led Byron into the living room. Noticing Byron, Andrius looked surprised and stood up to welcome him.Meanwhile, Andrea felt a little guilty when she saw Byron because she recalled meeting with Wendy. She sounded scared when she greeted Byron. “Byron…”Byron glanced at her expressionlessly. Then, he turned around and looked at Andrius. “Are you free later?”Andrius’s brows were knitted together. He could see Byron came looking for him b
Andrius nodded, agreeing with what Byron had said.Indeed, everyone would be motivated by profit in the business industry. It was the same with Heronial Corporation.“Our Quirke family and Heronial Corporation have more cooperations in business, so let me take care of this matter,” Andrius glanced at Byron meaningfully as he suggested taking over the matter.As for Byron, Andrius felt Byron should use his time to win Rosalie’s heart.The relationship between Rosalie and Byron had been stale for a long time, and even Andrius was worried about it.Byron nodded. “Use all means to make Heronial Corporation agree.”Andrius agreed, but he was surprised at the same time.It seemed that Byron and Rosalie had quite a fight. Otherwise, Andrius knew Byron would never say something like that.Realizing this, Andrius could not help but ask, “What happened between you and Dr. Jacobs?”Byron’s expression turned colder when Andrius mentioned that woman. “Nothing.”Andrius looked at Byron sus
Andrea brushed Andrius off with a nod and returned to her room.Seeing Andrea walking back to her room, Andrius headed downstairs. In the backyard, he saw Byron talking to Old Master Quirke.“I’m helping Dr. Jacobs. Why are you thanking me?” Old Master Quirke looked at Byron in a puzzle.Byron, who had just started the conversation with him, began to thank him.Byron was respectful when he spoke to Old Master Quirke. He smiled and answered, “Dr. Jacobs is my acquaintance. I should thank you on behalf of her.”Old Master Quirke said casually, “What I did was tell the truth. After all, Dr. Jacobs saved my life. I only did such a tiny favor to repay her.”Then, Old Master Quirke asked Byron about his marriage with Wendy, “When are you going to settle down with Wendy? Both of you have come to age, and Wendy is a girl. She can’t keep waiting for you.”Byron’s gaze turned cold when Old Master Quirke mentioned Wendy. However, he did not say anything about it and only smiled.Andrius,
“Wendy!”Andrea was late. She quickly approached Wendy and sat opposite her.After eavesdropping on Byron and Andrius’ conversation, Andrea returned to her room and contacted Wendy to meet her immediately. Unexpectedly, her brother returned and disrupted her plan, so she was late.Wendy snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Andrea’s voice. She glanced at Andrea with dissatisfaction. “Why are you so late? Why did you ask me to come out and meet you?”After questioning Andrea, Wendy took out a white handbag from behind her. “Here’s the handbag I promised you.”Andrea’s eyes lit up in joy when she saw the handbag Wendy handed her. She smiled and took it. “Thank you, Wendy!”Wendy smiled and said, “Well, tell me. Why did you ask me to meet you here?”Meanwhile, Andrea looked at Wendy’s phone curiously. “I saw you staring at your phone when I came over. Can you show me what you were looking at?”Wendy lifted her eyebrow and pondered for a while. Then, she pushed the phone to An
“Why not?” Andrea could not understand.How would Byron see the photos if Wendy did not want to send them to him directly?Moreover, Andrea knew Byron might have done more for Rosalie from what her brother said just now.If they dragged on this matter, Rosalie and Byron might start dating.Wendy despised Andrea for asking such a stupid question, but she suppressed her disdain.“Byron knows I don’t like Rosalie. If I send these to him directly, he’ll suspect me even if it’s done anonymously!”Andrea frowned, and she gradually calmed down. “What should we do, then? Are you going to watch that woman play the two men around?”Wendy’s gaze turned cold. “I know what to do. I don’t have to send these photos to Byron to let him see them.”Showing them to someone else might bring a better effect.Andrea was still puzzled.Wendy got up and left when she wanted to ask more about it.Looking at Wendy leaving, Andrea frowned. She looked at the empty chair before her and felt a strange fe
Wendy knew what Melody was planning to do, so she agreed obediently and headed upstairs.Melody’s expression turned cold again after Wendy headed to her room. She took out her phone and called Byron.“Yes, Mom?” Byron had just walked out of the Quirke family’s place and was about to head to his company. He was puzzled when he received a sudden call from his mother.Melody’s voice sounded displeased from the other end of the call. “Where are you now?”Byron frowned and answered honestly, “I’m heading to the company.”Melody ordered coldly, “I’ll ask your father to take over whatever you are going to do now. Come back home immediately!”Byron’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing his mother’s angry voice, and he wanted to ask further, but his mother had already hung up the call.A flurry of suspicion rose within Byron as he looked at the dark phone screen. However, he still headed back to his parents’ place.“Sir, Madam Lawrence is waiting for you.” As soon as Byron arrived, the butle
