Rosalie's heart sank. All the sympathy and compassion for Gordon disappeared in an instant.There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of bitterness, "In that case, the divorce between Gordon and Violet was just a farce. I just don't know why Gordon did all of this?"Byron nodded. At his level, he would not bother about a person like Gordon. He was only worried that his wife would feel sad again because of a father like that."Perhaps, he just wants to get close to you. After all, the wealth you have now is what he covets."There was no need to overanalyze what her husband said. This was the only possibility.At this moment, Rosalie was extremely disappointed. It was impossible to give a father like that any more chances.......A week passed quietly. The frequency of Rosalie's visits to the research institute continued to decrease, but several new drugs developed by the research institute were launched one after another.The pricing of pharmaceutical compa
Sophie was dressed in branded luxury. With heavy makeup on her face, her wrists, neck, and ears are decked in gold and silver, exuding an air of extravagant opulence.She was startled when she saw Rosalie too. Then, she raised her eyebrows and sauntered toward Rosalie with a tiny smirk."Isn't this my dear sister? What a coincidence. Haven't we seen each other for six or seven years?" Sophie's voice was ambiguous and sinister.Rosalie's face was cold, and the expression reflected in her eyes showed that she could not be bothered to talk to her."I heard, you’ve become some kind of tour guide in Southeast Asia, right? How did your dream of being wealthy come true in a blink of an eye?" Rosalie immediately retorted.Beside her, Mr. Loewe and Linda were a little startled. They tried to figure out Sophie's identity. Why would this person dare to be blatantly arrogant to Rosalie?Rosalie gave Linda a wink. Linda nodded immediately and left with Mr. Loewe and the other executives."Si
Rosalie knew that she had lost all composure at this moment.She could possibly be arrested by the police.However, she could not care less. All these years of enmity could only be quelled by a slap in the face.Sophie was dumbstruck by the second slap.This time, the hotel security saw that something was wrong. He was about to move forward to stop Rosalie's actions.Next to him, someone immediately reminded him. "That person. Isn’t it Rosalie Jacobs, the Young Lady of the Lawrence family?""Yeah, how could it be her? I didn't expect her to be so fierce?""Hey you, stop recording! There must be a reason. Something must be wrong with that woman to be slapped by Rosalie Jacobs."The security guards looked at each other after all that whispering. Finally, they hurried over to block the surroundings.They did not dare to get too close either. After all, the ferocious aura emanating from those bodyguards was frightening."Mrs. Lawrence, please calm down! This is public, I am worri
Sophie was shocked and scared. She could care less about her pain and looked at Byron in fear as she said, “I didn't. I'm her sister. It was my sister who misunderstood. Some of it was done by my mother, not me. Brother-in-law, please don’t misunderstand!” She knew Rosalie had Byron backing her up. If she went head-on with Rosalie, she would only be humiliated.Thus, she hoped Byron would let her off with it if she pretended to feel wronged.When Byron heard this, he felt it was ridiculous, and his expression turned gloomier. “I'm not your brother-in-law. Stop addressing me as you wish! My wife has never taken you as her sister.”Rosalie was also startled by Sophie’s shameless reaction, and anger shot through her. “Sophie Jacobs, listen! Even if your last name is Jacobs, I have no sister like you! I won't hesitate to slap you if you dare to repeat something like this.Sophie’s flattering smile froze.She pondered and finally decided. “Alright then. It’s fine that you don’t accep
It was nighttime. Sophie walked out of the clinic as she rubbed her swollen cheek. Anger still boiled in her.Although she had registered her marriage with the wealthy businessman, Wilfred Astor, and had become his wife in name, Wilfred was always abroad and seldom returned to Coast City.She had been instigating Wilfred to invest in a new company in Coast City.Since Rosalie could develop Petal Talk and starting up a company seemed simple, she felt she could do it too.Sophie had even been trying to contact those people in Rosalie’s research institute. She believed if she could offer a tempting price, some of them would be moved and be willing to join her company. They could then expose trade secrets.After returning to the five-star hotel, she ordered a meal at the reception counter to get it delivered to her room.However, the receptionist smiled apologetically and said, “Hi, Miss Jacobs. I’m sorry, but you can’t continue your stay in this hotel. Please pack your bags immediat
Sophie was reluctant to leave, but she could not effort to lose Wilfred, her money-making tree. Thus, all she could do was call her mother and tell her what happened briefly.Violet was so annoyed that she cursed Rosalie harshly. Not one of her words was pleasant to hear.“Sophie, what should we do next? Why don’t you return to Wilfred? It’s easy for the Lawrence family to find you. For me, there's always a chance. We should never let her off with it! When I have the chance to meet those three children, I'll give them a taste of my revenge!”Violet had two houses and lived a good life. She was always thinking about her beautiful future. Unexpectedly, Rosalie came looking for trouble.It was fine if Rosalie refused to acknowledge her as her stepmother, but she even tried to hurt her daughter. As Sophie’s mother, she had to think of a way to seek revenge.“Mom, I know. I’m going to leave. When my brother is back, ask him to avoid that crazy b*tch, Rosalie. She bites everyone now. We
Early in the morning, Byron requested Rosalie to get a check-up in the hospital, and he drove her there personally.Mary thought the couple was here to check the hospital as her superior. Thus, she invited them to her office respectfully.She prepared her work records during this time and handed them to Rosalie. “Welcome, dear boss. You should consider continuing to raise my wages!”Rosalie rolled her eyes at Mary. Then, she hesitantly mentioned that she might be pregnant again.That startled Mary, making her freeze for some time before she said in surprise, “So, does this mean I can be the godmother of another baby?“Congratulations, Mr. Lawrence!” Mary looked at Byron with her thumbs up.Byron looked quite pleased. He nodded and smiled.Rosalie looked at her husband’s reaction and pursed her lips. She could not understand what was there to be smug about this.“So, you came in early in the morning to get a test done to verify pregnancy, right? Did you need to come to the hospi
After three rounds of tea, the living room was filled with a faint fragrance of cinnamon.Even Rosalie could not help but take a sip. The fragrance filled her mouth.Byron and Andrius talked casually. Andrius talked about a lot of scenic spots and cultural relics that he visited. Andrius was like a different person now.“Byron, I've been cured completely. I think it’s time to get back to work.” That was Andrius’ decision after thoughtful consideration.Byron looked at Andrius and slowly lifted his cup.“Are you sure you're perfectly fine now?” he said.Andrius nodded. He looked calm and steady.“Byron, I used to think I was oppressed, but it seems that doing business suits me most. I can only show my value there.”Andrius had been pondering and observing lately. He had thought many people were forced to live.However, since he met Mary, her qualities had inspired him.As the hospital director, Mary did not take it as only a job; it was her career and what she loved.Therefor
