Chapter 1708 He Didn’t Answer
"I will develop an antidote."
Rosalie was determined. “If we give in to his request this time, he’ll make even more unreasonabledemands the next time we ask for the antidote. Should we agree to everything?"novelbin
Then, she questioned Byron with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you believe in me? Since I said it, I’llmake it happen!"
Byron already knew that Xander would do this, but he accepted the terms for the sake of Rosalie'ssurvival.
Now, he gradually gained confidence seeing how determined his woman was.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Byron made a concession. "Alright, then we’ll do asyou said. That statement is invalid, and our partnership remains."
A smile appeared on Rosalie's face when he compromised.
Byron stood up after they concluded this matter.
Rosalie thought he was coming to bed with her, so she scooted aside to make space.
Byron looked longingly at her. "I want to accept my wife's invitation, but you’ve only just recovered. Thisbed is so small, so I'd better not squash you. I'll just sleep on the sofa.”
Without waiting for Rosalie to react, the man turned and went to the sofa by the door.
Rosalie blushed as she belatedly realized what he called her.
As she watched him lie down on the sofa, she slowly lay back down.
Byron raised his hand to turn off the lights, and the ward was plunged into darkness.
The two of them were lost in their thoughts, and neither of them slept.
...
Early the next morning, Xander logged onto social media and waited for updates about LawrenceCorporation and the research institute.
According to their agreement, Byron would release a statement on the internet about the partnershiptermination at this hour.
However, he waited for more than an hour and there was no statement from the Lawrence Corporation.
Xander remembered there was no news about the marriage as well, and his expression turned cold."Byron Lawrence! How dare you..."
‘Rosalie's life is still in my hands. How dare you fool me, Byron?!’
Thinking of this, Xander pulled a long face and called his assistant. "Call Byron Lawrence!"
He wanted to clarify things with Byron. ‘What’s the meaning of this?!’
Frightened by his temper, the assistant quickly took out his mobile phone and called Byron.
On the other side, Byron and Rosalie stayed up all night. They opened their eyes and sat up at thebreak of dawn.
Rosalie continued to think about the antidote formula.
Byron finally had time to deal with Lawrence Corporation’s affairs.
The two were immersed in their thoughts when the phone rang.
Byron came back to his senses and glanced at the caller ID. His face darkened, and hesitation flashedacross his eyes.
"Is it Xander?"
Rosalie looked over immediately as well. She knew who was on the line from the change in hisexpression.
Byron frowned and gave a silent nod.
Rosalie put away her thoughts and said, "I'll call him back. I have something to say to him too."
Byron hesitated for a moment and finally hung up.
On the other end, the assistant looked at the disconnected call. He was troubled. "Mr. Lancer,President Lawrence… didn't answer the call."
Xander was furious. "That *sshole! How dare he play me?! I will never let him go!"
The assistant lowered his head and held his breath.
The atmosphere in the office was cold and imposing.
Suddenly, Xander's cell phone rang.
Xander glanced angrily. When he saw the caller ID, the corner of his brows twitched.
