Rosalie subconsciously looked at Byron beside her.Byron nodded.With his approval, Rosalie felt more relaxed and announced the preliminary results they had just discussed.“In my opinion, in this cooperation, Lancer Corporation provided us with the medicinal materials and the subsequent sales channels. However, in terms of technology, it was the research institute that made the biggest contribution. It can be said that the research institute mastered the core technology of new drugs. Based on this and our previous cooperation experience with other companies, the research institute wants to take the majority of the profit distribution this time.”Although Rosalie, who was in charge of the research institute, did not know much about this aspect, she expressed her stand confidently.Byron listened as he looked at Rosalie, who spoke seriously. He subconsciously revealed his appreciation for her.Xander could not believe his ears and said, “Sorry, I didn’t get what you said. Miss Jac
“Rosie’s part of this research is the technology. The medicinal materials given by Lancer Corporation were just for this batch. If you aren’t happy with the division of profit, it doesn’t matter. We can divide the profit for this batch of drugs produced using your materials by the percentage you’re satisfied with. However, the research institute also has the right to only sign the contract of this batch of drugs with you.”Then, Byron continued slowly, “This means that after this batch of drugs is sold, Rosie can take the technology to seek cooperation with other suppliers of medicinal materials. What about Lancer Corporation? Where else can you find an institute that can make it?”He was implying the status of the research institute was higher than Lancer Corporation in this project.Rosalie did not need Lancer Corporation.Instead, Lancer Corporation needed Rosalie to get the drug produced.The party leading the project should be the research institute instead of Lancer Corporat
Xander could not say anything as what Rosalie said was also true.After pondering for a while, he stood up from the sofa and said, “Since you’ve said so, we have nothing to discuss!”Then, Xander left the office angrily.The sound of the door slamming shocked Rosalie, leaving her dumbfounded.“Did that scare you?” Byron got up and walked to her side.Upon hearing his voice, Rosalie snapped out of her daze and lamented, “No. I’m just surprised. I did not expect Young Master Xander to act like that.”He admired her more and hugged her shoulder, embracing her in his arms.Rosalie sighed. “Is everyone in the business field such a hypocrite?”Byron stroked her back to appease her. “Would you be afraid if I were also like that?”That left Roslie recalling Byron’s method of dealing with business silently.After thinking for a while, she realized she had already known his style and accepted it.She smiled carefreely. “I won’t seem to be surprised if it were you.”Byron seemed sligh
Aware of this, Rosalie was glad she did not fall into that trap.It was because she had been alerted and kept her guard on Xander. At the same time…“Fortunately, I asked you in advance, or I might have fallen into Xander’s trap.”She smiled gratefully at Byron.Looking at Rosalie, who had seen Xander’s true colors, Byron was pleased. “I can continue helping you in matters like these if you want, and I’ll do it free of charge.”As he spoke, his gaze on Rosalie looked ambiguous.Rosalie quickly realized what he meant and pushed the man away as her face flushed red.Byron looked at her shy expression and smiled. Then, he diverted the topic to business and stopped teasing Rosalie.“It won’t be bad even if Lancer Corporation refuses to sign the contract. Their medicinal materials are only of better quality than those in the market. They don’t have any special qualities. You can get high-grade medicinal materials from other pharmaceutical companies with a high price to make this dru
After discussing the countermeasures, they decided they could compromise a little in the profit distribution.Rosalie texted Xander, saying she could give him another 3% of the profit. If Lancer Corporation refused to accept this, their cooperation would have to end.There was no reply from that end.It was almost noon, and the matter on Rosalie’s side was practically settled. Thus, Byron took her out for lunch.To make up for the last time, Byron booked a table in the best restaurant in Coast City.He even ordered a couple’s meal.The two were seated at the table led by a waitress.“Sir, the drinks in your couple’s meal are sold out. Would you like a replacement or a refund?”After confirming their booking, the waitress asked Byron.Noticing it was a couple’s set, butterflies fluttered in Rosalie’s stomach. Never did she expect Byron would do something childish like this.Byron, however, calmly presented the menu to her. “Look at what you want to drink and order more food. I
Byron served her food to prove his sincerity. He kept saying romantic phrases and helping her out with the food gentlemanly, making her feel shy and happy at the same time.After lunch, the waitress served a few desserts. “These desserts are gifts from our restaurant. Best wishes to you.”Rosalie thanked the waitress gently.Unsure if it was a coincidence, the restaurant served them three desserts.“I wonder what the kids are doing now. Estie likes tiramisu the most.”The desserts reminded her of the three little ones.Byron said, “It’s supposed to be their lunch break now. If you’re worried about them, let’s go to the kindergarten and bring them the desserts.”At the thought of seeing the three kids, Rosalie’s mood brightened. “I have that in mind too.”They asked the waitress to help them pack the desserts and headed to the kindergarten.On the way, they called Miss Leigh Ann.When they arrived at the kindergarten, Miss Leigh Ann also happened to come out of the lounge with
The three little ones finished their desserts, and Rosalie sent them back.Back in the car, she looked at Byron, who pretended nothing had happened. Unable to contain her curiosity about his act, she asked, “When did I agree to go to a movie with you this afternoon?”Byron turned around and looked at her calmly. “I chose to decide for you because I knew you would reject my invitation if I asked you.”Rosalie looked away guiltily when he spoke out her thought.She could guess what he meant. He thought of today as a date.For her, it was somehow a bit of a surprise.She said nothing for a while, and Byron was a little disappointed. “If you’re unhappy with this arrangement, we can watch the movie another day. I’ll buy the gifts for the children later.”Rosalie noticed the disappointment in his tone and shook her head with a smile. “No. I just think I should prepare for...”Byron looked at her lovingly. “You don’t have to prepare yourself. You’re always beautiful.”Rosalie blushed
“If I knew this mall would remind you of this, I would’ve chosen another mall.”Byron looked regretful.Rosalie calmed down and got out of his embrace. She had a smile on her face again. “I’m only a little sad when I think of it. I’m fine now. Since Estie and I have found each other, I’ll give her everything I haven’t had the chance to give her before this.”Byron nodded and grasped her hand, clasping his fingers to give her no chance to escape. “Me too. I’ll make up for everything we’ve missed before.”His words moved Rosalie as her eyes met his affectionate eyes. The smile on her face bloomed.It was still early to get to the cinema. Thus, they walked around from level to level.Walking to the men’s clothing store window, Rosalie’s footsteps stopped subconsciously when she saw the clothing in it.Byron looked at the men’s attire in the shop and was a little displeased.“Who are you getting men’s clothes for?”Only a few men were around her, and she was by his side now. Which
The immense pain caused Violet to become delusional. Besides the heart-piercing howls, she suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.She bit her lip until her mouth were filled with blood. Her face was grim and distorted and her eyes bulged out of the sockets.She stared at Rosalie viciously and sneered in a sinister way. "Rosalie Jacobs, so what if I poisoned your mother to death? Who made her a b*tch, unwilling to divorce obediently, and kept taking money from Gordon. She isn’t that great! Hahaha...""......" Rosalie's blood boiled. The seventh silver needle appeared in her hand.At this time, Byron quickly walked to her side and grabbed her.‘If my wife is overtaken by her emotions and takes a step forward, she would be a murderer for sure.’He hugged Rosalie, not letting her go any further.Sophie saw her mother in such pain. She stared at Rosalie with red eyes and kept yelling. "Rosalie, how dare you treat my mother like this? I will kill you! I will definitely kill you..."
When Violet heard Rosalie's concrete words, her face was horrified, and her eyes darted quickly."Rosalie, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever done something like this? Don't try to slander me!" She nervously argued.As everyone knows, she had fallen into Rosalie’s verbal trap."You haven't done it? Didn't you ask Ethan to help you poison Mama? It's mercury. Just a little bit could affect my mother slowly. Just two or three times a month is enough. The long-term accumulation of toxins was enough to shorten my mother's life to a few years. Ethan was so young then and you are willing to use him. Aren’t you afraid that he would accidentally ingest it?"Rosalie's angry face and hateful eyes made Violet look away in fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Violet, you still insist on arguing until now. I really couldn't do anything about you a few days ago. However, I can come to you now, which means that I have enough evidence to prove that you used your good son Eth
The chainsaw roared, and the iron chain was severed in less than thirty seconds, followed by two iron doors which collapsed to the ground.Byron and Rosalie walked in through the iron gate.The frightened Sophie rushed downstairs first. When she saw the couple, she panicked and shouted. "What are you trying to do? Breaking into a private house is illegal. I'll call the police immediately!"With that, she took out her mobile phone and feigned intimidation.Rage shot to the top of Rosalie’s head. She rushed over, snatched Sophie's phone, and smashed it to pieces on the ground.How refreshing to be the bad guy.For the past twenty years or so, Rosalie had been a pro at being a good person. She always suffered losses from being kind.The best way to deal with shameless people was to be even more shameless than them. In this way, there was nothing the opponent could do.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds, but she could not stop Rosalie at all."Where is Violet? Get the hell out n
Mama’s last will intermittently recorded the last three years of her life.When Rosalie finished reading her mother’s last word, the dam had broken, and she burst into loud sobs.The heart-piercing grief lingered in her chest. She kept murmuring under her breath. "Mama, my Mama...hurts so much in her life. She was in so much pain!"She tearfully looked at her husband. At this moment, Rosalie was like a frightened little animal, her entire body trembling helplessly.Byron read the will with her. The typically calm and introverted Byron felt his eyes burning and tears streamed down his face.Immediately, a monstrous anger appeared on his face. He exuded a deadly aura all over. He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Honey, we must avenge Mama. Violet is not human. She is just a beast clad in human skin!"Rosalie cried bitterly while hugging Byron, inconsolable for a long time.Finally, Detective Carter read the contents of the will and remained silent for a long time.The con
[My dear daughter, my beloved Rosalie, I wonder how many years later will you see this written will? Ten years, or twenty years? Or you may not see it at all."[Darling, Mama loves you very much, I love you too much. So, it is you who gave Mama the courage to accept my fate at this moment. I know very well that my life is slipping away bit by bit, but I don’t feel afraid at all!][However, Mama don’t know why such bad luck happened to you. You were only three years old and just learned to run and jump around, and you’ve just learnt to pronounce the word Mama properly. Despite that, death is around the corner, knocking on my door. Mama feels reluctant, this is such a waste! Mama prays to God, I’m willing to accept anything as long as you live, even if it means falling into hell.][You were suffering from a congenital genetic disorder. I took you to many hospitals and finally found a solution. However, the treatment cost is as high as one million dollars. Mama can't afford this at all
Byron, who has always been calm in dealing with things, felt anxious this time.The car continued to accelerate. There was no time to lose. He needed to verify personally whether the heirloom left by his mother-in-law were really hidden in the frame of the wedding photo.Rosalie also looked solemn, and her heart was beating fast.Violet cared so much about Mama’s heirloom. She was still looking for it even when she could not find it after more than ten years, which shows that this heirloom was of great importance.Perhaps, there was enough evidence in it to prove that Violet harmed her mother.Rosalie truly wanted to know; how did Violet manage to poison her slowly? At that time, she had no contact with Mama at all!In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the Jacobs old house.Early in the morning, Detective Carter still led his bodyguards to search around, knocking on every wall, trying to find some hidden storage space.Upon seeing the eager faces of the young couple, Detect
That voice seemed to unveil Rosalie's dust-sealed memory like an old chest.An image from that year flashed across her mind in an instant.Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Mama and Aunt Lou were eating cakes, chatting and laughing over tea. As the sun set, Rosalie came from the kindergarten on the corner of the street, lugging her schoolbag as she rushed home, less than a hundred meters away.Then, she exclaimed. "Mama, I'm home!"At that time, Mama was so healthy. Her eyes were always joyful, and she was as beautiful as an angel.Aunt Lou was also very young at the time, she had just married and had no children. She liked to ask her Mama for advice on family life issues.How wonderful it would be if life could stay that way forever!Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Gordon.Rosalie’s thoughts were raging. It took a long time before Rosalie came back to her senses and told Aunt Lou that she had returned to Coast City, and everything was fine.Aunt Lou continued to
On the second day of the wedding, Mary woke up and habitually thought that it was her home. She was about to go out in her pajamas.Fortunately, Andrius carried her back to bed just as she pushed the door open.Mary woke up from her confusion and realized her new identity, the daughter-in-law of the Quirke family.The husband held her, but suddenly refused to let go. His hands began to wander naughtily.Mary was astonished. They were keeping each other up until late last night. It was only a few hours apart."Is there any custom ceremony that has not been completed? Does your family need us to greet the elders on the first day after marriage?" She suddenly became flustered, and she was short of breath.She wanted to quickly change the subject, so her man would not continue his passionate torment.It would be really embarrassing if they made any noise this early in the morning.Andrius shook his head, and moved his lips closer, wanting to attack.Mary resolutely covered his lip
In the Jacobs’ old family home, Detective Carter kept receiving calls from the bodyguards, and knew the movements of Violet's family like the palm of his hand."Sure enough, it was a bait and switch. On the surface, two cars set off; one came to us and the other was headed to the airport. In actual fact, they escaped from the basement in a taxi. However, they were indeed unable to escape."Detective Carter summarized his updates and reported to Byron and Rosalie.The detective was shocked. The bodyguards that Byron arranged for him had excellent professional skills and strong execution ability. These men were obviously carefully cultivated.Byron nodded calmly.He sighed secretly in his heart. Sophie reacted exactly the same way as Xander Lancer back then, she chose to escape by water.Indeed, travel transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rails have rigid, fixed schedules and are relatively easy to be discovered.Rosalie's mind was not present at all. As long as the hus
