When Rosalie was mentioned, Byron's eyes darkened slightly. He quickly shook it off before his parents realized it."As for Estie...I will talk to her. If she wanted to follow her mother, I will not stop her."He only talked about his arrangements for Estie, but not a word about his feelings for Rosalie.Melody found it even more shocking that her son had already considered Estie’s arrangements."Byron, what's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell? Did you have a fever?"Melody had always disliked Rosalie, but no one knows better than her how obsessed her son has become with that woman.She was already prepared for a long struggle in this matter. Why would he let Rosalie go so easily?This does not seem right.Byron looked at her indifferently, and asked firmly, "Hasn't it always been your wish that I marry another woman? Why are you reacting this way now that I propose to marry another?"Melody was left speechless. She still felt that something was wrong and could only

Suddenly, Chloe did not know how to react. The only he talked about was marriage.At the same time, Melody overheard Byron just as she was about to serve them tea. She was surprised too.She thought that her son was being emotional and that he would change his mind after meeting Chloe.She never expected that he would propose.On top of that, he did it so bluntly!"Byron, what’s the matter with you? Why did you suddenly propose to marry me?"When Chloe came back to her senses, her intuition told her something.‘Something must’ve happened for Byron to do this!‘What is it, then?’Melody paused at Chloe’s question and looked at her son in puzzlement.‘I’ve asked him repeatedly, but he wouldn’t tell me. Now, even Chloe thinks so. There must be something wrong.‘I wonder if he will tell Chloe the truth.’She was waiting at the kitchen door.She thought Byron would say something. However, after waiting for a while, Byron unexpectedly turned his head and looked over.The mother

Byron’s warning was effective. Xander was better behaved when he interacted with Chloe.Chloe reciprocated with a generous smile. "Mr. Lancer, I have long admired your name."Xander got up and reached out to shake her hand politely. He then complimented her. "Miss Lincoln, you’re so beautiful. You make a good match with President Lawrence. Even your family backgrounds are similar—what a match made in heaven! I probably wouldn't be invited to your wedding! Let me congratulate you both first!"Then, he looked at Byron sarcastically. "President Lawrence, you have such a great candidate by your side, why are you so obsessed with Miss Jacobs? There wouldn’t be so many problems if you chose Miss Lincoln earlier!"Byron looked at him with apathy. "I already brought her here. Where’s the item you promised me?"Xander sneered. "Why rush? What I want to see isn’t a person."Their stares collided, and there was ruthlessness in their eyes.Byron took out the marriage certificate casually wh

Byron did not even have time to send Chloe back after they left the Lancer Residence. He took her directly to the hospital.Chloe sat in the back and glanced at the rearview mirror. She felt emotional looking at Byron’s deeply worried face.Sure enough, what Melody told her before was true.Byron was able to love someone to such an extent.The more she sensed Byron's undying love for Rosalie, the more curious Chloe became about who Rosalie was.Therefore, she did not mind at all even though Byron took her to the hospital so late at night.As they dashed to the hospital, Byron realized that he forgot to send her home."Sorry, it's already late. I troubled you to sign the marriage certificate with me, then I brought you to the hospital now."He was so overwhelmed these few days that he was embarrassed. "If you don't mind, you can wait in the car. I'll ask my assistant to come and take you home."Chloe smiled casually. Her voice was soft as she raised her eyes to look in the dire

Mary's voice trembled. "The effect of the poison has struck again, and it's more violent than last time."Byron's hands tightened uncontrollably. "How could this be?!"He saw it the last time it happened when the poison's side effects kicked in.Now, Mary said that this attack was worse than last time!The person in his arms seemed to be in extreme pain. Even though he held her in his embrace, she was still shivering, and her face lacked color."Rosalie..." Byron’s voice tightened, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.‘I already brought the antidote, why is it still like this?’"What should we do now? Is the antidote useless?" He looked up at the experts beside the hospital bed.The experts looked at each other.After a while, Mary gritted her teeth. "This is supposed to be the time when the poison takes effect. It's already the third day."Twelve o'clock at midnight.Xander's estimated timeframe was ironclad.Rosalie might not be able to hold on anymore if Byron had
