Yves had been arrested. If Rosalie left, the research institute would not have a leader.Rosalie could only stay. She chose another trustworthy researcher and asked him to take over Yves’ place after briefing him about the project.Byron was worried and had been guarding her.When Rosalie was done with her job, it was already evening and time to get off work.Rosalie left with Byron first.A Rolls-Royce pulled over before them as soon as they reached the institute’s entrance.Looking at the car in front of them, Rosalie felt it looked familiar, but she could not remember whose car it was.Before she came up with an answer, the driver’s door opened, and Xander came out of the car, looking concerned.“Young Master Xander?”Complicated emotions rose within Rosalie upon seeing Xander.Before Yves got caught, she did not trust Xander that much. Hence, she had not contacted him for quite some time.Rosalie felt sorry for him when she saw him, and she was also delighted.Meanwhile

Byron looked displeased. “What’s he doing here?”Rosalie patiently explained, “The experiment Dr. Graham meddled with is the Lancer family’s project. Young Master Xander would have to get to know about what happened.”Then, Rosalie frowned slightly. “What about you? How long have you misunderstood Young Master Xander and been impolite to him? Don’t you think you have to apologize?”Byron looked annoyed. However, it was Rosalie speaking to him, so he suppressed his anger. “Impossible!”Xander did not just come for the project.Byron could see Xander was there to provoke him.Rosalie knew nothing about the conflict between the two men. She felt absurd when she heard Byron’s decisive rejection.“Why do you dislike Young Master Xander so much? You were impolite to him when you were in the hospital because you suspected he was the culprit, but the misunderstanding has been resolved. It had nothing to do with him, and he was a victim too. Why do you dislike him now, then?”Something

That night, Wendy went to th Lawrence family’s mansion with her injured body.Melody had just finished her dinner and was strolling in her garden. When she saw Wendy, she smiled and welcomed her. “Wendy! What are you busy doing these days? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”Wendy pursed her lips and did not answer.Wendy was puzzled and approached her. “What happened? Did Byron bully you again?”Wendy nodded and shook her head. Then, she sobbed.Melody’s heart sank. She held Wendy’s arm and took her to the living room. Then, she ordered the housekeeper to serve them tea.“Your uncle isn’t here tonight. You can tell me what happened!”Wendy lifted her head this time.Just now, the light outside was dim, and Wendy had been lowering her head. As such, Melody did not see Melody’s face.When Wendy lifted her head, Melody was shocked to see her face swollen and her eyes red. Wendy looked like she had been crying a lot recently.“Why did you cry so much? Did Byron bully you? Tell

Melody was startled to hear her son refusing decisively.When she realized it, rage overpowered her. “You’re ignoring the six years Wendy spent waiting to marry you so you can date the woman who left you and her daughter! Did you ever think about Estie? Have you thought about the reputation of the Lawrence family?”Melody looked at her son angrily. “The chairman of Lawrence Corporation wants to marry a woman with two kids. That would be a disgrace to the Lawrence family. If others know that Jacobs woman is the daughter-in-law of the Lawrence family, what do you think others will think of us?”She would never allow such a disgraceful thing to happen to the Lawrence family.Byron was displeased to see his mother’s attitude toward Rosalie.However, Melody was his mother, so he did not do anything. All he did was answer coldly, “I don’t care!”Pissed off, Melody shouted, “What are you talking about?! You’re messing with the reputation of the Lawrence family!”Byron lifted his eyebro

Byron headed back to Lawrence Manor and was in a bad mood.His mother trusted Wendy too much.So much so that she even insulted Rosalie like that.All the way back to the manor, his expression was cold.He received Rosalie’s message when he got out of the car.His mood brightened a little upon seeing Rosalie’s name on it. Then, he tapped open the message.[The children want to go to the amusement park. Do you have the time?]Byron could feel from the text that Rosalie must have been in a dilemma before she sent him this.The kids must have pestered her, and she had no choice.Even so, Byron was in a good mood to receive it. He wanted to tease her.He typed and replied to Rosalie’s message: [Are you inviting me to go out on a date with you?]Meanwhile, the little ones surrounded Rosalie.“Mommy, did Mr. Byron reply?”“Will Mr. Byron go to the amusement park with us? I want to go with him.”Lucian and Nox looked at her longingly.Estelle climbed onto the sofa and leaned ag
