In Andrea’s office, the financial staff checked the accounts with her.“This month, expenses have increased due to increased acquisition prices. Our downstream manufacturers are also collecting money. The biggest part is Dr. Jacobs' research institute and factory. If they pay the money, the profit will be far more than before!”After the staff reported, Andrea sighed the papers and beckoned the staff to leave.Before long, the office door was pushed open.Alistair entered with a bouquet of red roses for Andrea.She was so overjoyed that she quickly got up and dashed toward him.“Don’t do this. This is your office. Your office is only covered with frosted glass. They can see shadows from outside! Alistair smirked. He put the bouquet down and hugged Andrea’s waist.“I don’t care. I don't even mind telling everyone you’re my man!”Andrea indulged entirely in this sweet love.She was obsessed with this man.This man taught her to raise the price of the materials so that the owner
Andrea was in a smug state. She asked her assistant to urge Rosalie’s research institute to pay for the materials.She wanted to make things difficult for Rosalie so that she would yield and speak to her nicely.Before long, the assistant smiled and opened the office door.“Miss Quirke, the payment has been debited into our account.” The assistant was thrilled, waiting for Andrea to praise her or offer her a bonus as a reward.However, Andrea’s smile faded. She asked, “Paid? Did she pay in full?”The assistant could not understand why Andrea looked gloomy even after she got the money.She stopped smiling and nodded. “Yes. The payment is complete."Andrea could not understand what had gone wrong.She thought Rosalie would hold on to the matter and investigate it first.She had charged Rosalie more than ten million bucks.No company would readily pay such a high price.Worried, Andrea beckoned her assistant to leave, and she dialed Alistair’s number.After explaining the situ
Rosalie hung up the call, not giving Andrius any chance to refuse.“It's good enough for you to advise me in these matters. If Quirke Enterprise bears the cost, it'd be equivalent to you spending the money. It'd be meaningless.”Rosalie was worried Byron would be displeased and quickly explained.However, the man was smiling. “How you're dealing with this shows that you're already a very qualified businessperson!”“Really? That’s good! After all, if Andrius can control the price, it'll help me save a lot of money. Spending only 200 million bucks would be very cost-effective.”Rosalie turned around and brewed Byron’s favorite black tea.The tea was fragrant. Rosalie also took a sip and enjoyed the sweetness of it.“Rosalie, come with me to my junior high school tomorrow. I made an appointment with Chloe. The old principal there is seriously ill. Let’s go and visit him!”Byron carefully watched Rosalie’s reaction.Rosalie smiled. “Um, since you and Miss Lincoln have made an appo
This school was no longer in use and had moved to another place.However, the old campus had been transformed into an activity center for the elderly. The elderly from nearby communities would always come here for leisure.Many retired teachers still lived in dormitories on campus.Cars could not enter the compound, so the three of them went on foot. It did not take long before they arrived at the dormitory building.It was a very old, five-story building with rows of rooms, just like the classrooms in those days.Judging from the laundry drying outside, there were not many teachers living here anymore.Chloe made a phone call. Then, the old principal's daughter, a plain-looking, middle-aged woman, came out to greet her."Hello, my dad has just woken up, so he can chat with you," There were unmistakable traces of tears in her eyes.It was apparent that she had just cried bitterly.Chloe walked in front with Rosalie following her. Byron was at the very back.He asked the princ
The principal's daughter did not have much hope at all, but after looking at Rosalie's serious expression, she hurried into the room and brought out a cup of tea."Miss Jacobs, let's have some tea."Rosalie took the teacup, took a sip, and continued to stare at the materials."Ma'am, let's change your father's living environment next. Go stay in our hospital. You don't have to worry about the medical costs. It's all free. You just need to get someone to take care of his diet and daily needs. It'll take about a month."As Rosalie spoke, her eyes were clear of emotions. The principal's daughter was astonished.Free treatment?She subconsciously trembled all over with excitement. One must know, in order to treat her father's illness, she did not have much money left. On top of that, she had a family to feed, and her children were still in college."Miss Jacobs, are you serious?" she asked, afraid that it was just a joke.Rosalie nodded emphatically. She raised her eyes, looked a
"Chloe, let's have a meal together. Fortunately, you were paying attention to this matter. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what would've happened to the old principal. If this situation was delayed further, things might be irreparable."Byron extended an invitation, but Chloe politely declined.He did not insist further and left the school with Rosalie by car.On the way, Rosalie received a call from her best friend. The car arranged by Mary had arrived and the principal was on the way to the hospital."Miss Director, you did a good job!" Rosalie chuckled and teased her.This stirred up Mary's complaint in an instant. "Can you stop teasing me now? I thought the director was just in charge of calling for a meeting with everyone once in a while. I didn't expect to deal with so many things. Oh my god, do you know what time I get off work now? Also, I was looking forward to enjoying the villa you gave me. Great, I'm so busy that I don't even know if there's water or electricity at home..."
After Andrea packed her things, she left Quirke Mansion without looking back.His parents persuaded Andrius to forgive his sister, but Andrius retorted in all seriousness, "I wasn't the one who drove her away tonight. She knows she's in the wrong and wants to run away from home! Also, please don't spoil her anymore. Thankfully, Byron doesn't intend to pursue the matter, or else our family would be ruined by her!"With that said, he became upset and got up to leave.Andrius drove with the windows down, letting the cold wind hit his face.Suddenly, he wanted to drink but realized he did not have anyone to drink with.Byron would never refuse, but Andrius did not want to interfere with his buddy’s happy family life now.He could ask Luther, but he had been too busy recently.After thinking about it, Andrius realized that he did not have many friends.He had been too serious all these years. For Quirke Enterprise to grow stronger and follow in Lawrence Corporation’s footsteps, ev
Andrius' car arrived at Lawrence Manor.He came here in a hurry after receiving a call, thinking it was for something important.When he entered the living room, he saw Byron with a calm and relaxed expression on his face. He invited him to sit down for tea.After a brief chat about the supply material follow-up, Byron suddenly changed the topic to Andrius' health problems."I'm fine. I'm not sick or in pain. No matter what, I'm also in the medicine business, so I'm naturally careful about my health. Buddy, what’s your concern?" Andrius was curious.There was a glint in Byron's eyes. "Oh, I don’t mean something’s wrong with your health. It's just that you've been busy with your family's business in the past few years. Shouldn't you go for a physical examination?"Andrius nodded and agreed. "Alright, buddy. Since you said so, I'll do it.""I've already made an appointment for you. Go do it in the hospital under your Sister-in-law. It's better to go for the services of one of our
