There was a flash of warmth in Byron's eyes as he witnessed the warm atmosphere inside."Byron, do you really not want to go in?" Andrius urged, seeing the change in his expression.Byron's face darkened. "No, not until Xander is finished."Only after Xander paid his dues, could he sit beside that little woman with peace of mind.He might be softened and hold back because of that little woman if he went in now.Andrius knew what his buddy was thinking, so he stopped persuading him. He glanced at his phone and said, "The plan has already started."Byron's eyes darkened like he was dissatisfied with the original plan. He pondered for a moment, and said coldly, "After this, Lawrence and Quirke will join forces to attack Lancer's stocks abroad. Then, we’ll release the news to all the other local institutions and abroad, join forces to bring down Lancer's stock price."Andrius nodded in agreement and immediately began to order his assistants to do it.One o'clock after midnight.Th
"Slow down, everyone. Tell me, what happened?"Old Master Lancer could vaguely guess that his grandson had caused trouble. Since it was Lancer family-related, he chose to come forward after all.Everyone maintained a level of decorum when they saw the old man coming forward. "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with you. Ask Xander to talk to us!"Old Master Lancer had been in the medical industry for so many years. Everyone knew his character well.Many people present had also received the old man’s favor and kindness, and they did not want to hurt the old man.Old Master Lancer glanced at the room briefly to find the living room filled with company leaders who had business relations with the Lancers.Some have cooperated with Long for many years, but their faces were filled with anger.This made the old man feel even more flustered. He spoke calmly, "Xander is not here now. Please, tell me what happened. If he did something wrong, on behalf of the Lancers, let me apologize to e
"Where is Xander Lancer? Come out and give us an explanation!"Everyone surrounded the assistant, asking about Xander's whereabouts.The assistant struggled to support the old man with one hand, while trying to appease the crowd. "Mr. Lancer is waiting for you at Lancer Corporation. Everyone, please go ahead. I’ll send the old man to the hospital first."Everyone did not think much about it. In addition, the old man had fainted, so they did not want to stop him. They could only watch the assistant leave and then rushed to the company angrily.The century-old foundation of the Lancer family collapsed overnight.Andrius raised his eyebrows at Byron when he read the news. "Can we go in and see my sister-in-law now? She had been looking for you since she woke up!"Byron reluctantly accepted the outcome, adjusted his expression, put away the hostility around him, then opened the door and walked in.Everyone looked over as the door opened.Linda whispered. "President Lawrence is here
Before she could finish, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist.His lips were already over hers before she could react.Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds, then slowly closed her eyes and leaned into his arms.The man's assertiveness paused slightly as he sensed her giving in to him, then his advances became forceful again.Rosalie was breathless from his kiss. She opened her eyes slightly and saw the back of her best friend on the window of the ward. That made her shy as she struggled slightly.Byron stopped sensibly but still held her tightly in his arms.‘A person who had always been calm, unexpectedly showed a rare emotion of fear.’Realizing this, regret flashed across Rosalie's eyes and just let him hold her.Not sure how long it took before Byron finally let go of his embrace. He returned to his usual calmness."You’ve worked hard these few days," Rosalie spoke in distress as she watched the man in his most vulnerable state, unable to hide his fatigue.Byron just looke
"Yeah?"Byron saw that she had something to say, but he noticed that she was still a little hesitant. So, he did not force her and just looked at her quietly.The gentler he was, the guiltier Rosalie felt. That was when she was more resolute than ever but unsure how to tell him.After some deliberation, she cautiously raised her eyes to meet his. "Lucian and Nox, what do you think of them?"Byron's eyes darkened slightly, and his face was solemn. "I like them very much from the first moment I saw them."From this question alone, he already knew what this little woman was thinking.Right now, he wanted to hear it from her.Byron stopped speaking and looked at the person in front of him deeply, with some expectation in his heart.Rosalie shrank back a little as she saw how serious he was. "That's good..."Then, she anxiously went through her speech in her heart once more.She had been hiding this matter for so long that she didn't know where to start.She did feel the timing w
Rosalie looked at him, feeling puzzled.Before, when she learned who Estie truly was, it shook her to the core, and she could not hide it at all.However, there was hardly any emotion on Byron's face, not even a trace of doubt.‘Does he trust me that much?‘Or did he already know?’Rosalie frowned suspiciously.From the little woman's uneasy look, Byron stroked her head comfortingly. "I already knew about this, so it's not surprising to me."Now, it was Rosalie’s turn to be surprised. "When?"Her mind started jogging through her memories.‘Byron's attitude towards Lucian and Nox didn't seem to have changed much even before I fell into a coma.‘Although Lucian and Nox didn't like the person in front of them very much because of her influence before, Byron treats them the same as he mentioned.‘Whether it's because of himself, or simply because Byron is fond of Lucian and Nox, he cares for them like he did for Estie.‘To protect the boys, he even declared Lucian and Nox his c
Rosalie came to her senses upon hearing the jealousy in the man’s tone.Perhaps Rosalie already knew that he would not be angry with her about concealment, she arrogantly blamed him instead."The boys looked just like you. I thought you would’ve figured it out when you saw them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken them to hide abroad."Byron had the tables turned on him. He was dumbfounded when he saw this little woman's righteous and reproachful eyes.‘Looking back now, those two little boys’ faces indeed looked somewhat similar to mine.‘But......’"Well, I have been having headaches trying to get you back to me at that time. I did not pay attention to them."Speaking of this, Byron recalled his thoughts before and felt a little apologetic. "I thought the boys were children you had with someone else. I thought that if that man dared to look for you, I would not let him go. Unexpectedly, I was that irresponsible man."After learning about Lucian and Nox's true identity, Byron's p
Early the next morning, the Lancer Corporation scandal had completely unfolded.When Rosalie woke up, she saw overwhelming public opinion about the Lancer family on the Internet.After what happened last night, many people pulled away from the Lancers in time and relentlessly bit back at them.Some internal employees revealed that after Xander took over, the Lancer Corporation underwent earth-shaking changes.Under Xander’s leadership, there were many illegal operations within the Lancer Corporation.Many of the drugs produced were rushed to the market for temporary benefits and have not even undergone a complete test. Under Lancer Corporation’s branding, the price was much higher than the market price, disregarding the patient's life and death!During this period, Xander did not even hesitate to enlist uncertified small factories without trademarks to make profits. This business strategy made it difficult to guarantee the quality of medicines.Xander also bribed some private ho
