Chapter 1731 No Marriage Registration
In the ward. Even though some experts caught sight of Byron, no one had the time to pay him anyattention. Rosalie's condition was critical as her blood vessels had hardened, forming hemorrhagicspots.
They had to find a way to control it.
Otherwise, not even a miracle could save her if her blood vessels ruptured.
Byron dared not approach any closer. Hence, he stood at a distance where he could see Rosalie.
The woman on the hospital bed had a pale complexion. Color had drained from her lips. Strands ofdisheveled hair clung to her forehead and were drenched in cold sweat. She looked like a fragile paperdoll that would shatter into a million pieces with just a touch.novelbin

Meanwhile, at Lancer Corporation.
Xander sat in his office while his assistant nervously stood before him.
"What time is it now?"
Xander asked coldly.
It was the third time he had asked for the time tonight.
The assistant raised his hand to check his wristwatch and cautiously replied, "Mr. Lancer, it's alreadyten o'clock."
"Ten o'clock..." Xander's eyes slightly narrowed. His eyes were filled with coldness.
There were only two hours left until the end of the day!
The effects of the medicine on Rosalie's body should have worn off by now. She must be suffering fromintense pain.
It would be too late to reverse the situation if another two hours passed.
Why had Byron not come to plead with him yet?
Something crossed Xander’s mind all of a sudden. His expression grew serious as he muttered tohimself, "Could it be that... they’ve really developed an antidote?"
However, he immediately shook his head after that, denying his own speculation. "That’s impossible. Ispent so much time and conducted countless experiments to develop this poison. It's impossible forsomeone to create an antidote within a day. Even Rosalie wouldn't be able to do that!"
Furthermore, Rosalie was currently helpless, unable to even protect herself. How could she have theenergy to accomplish such a task?
As for those incompetent men that Byron looked for, Xander was reluctant to believe that they werecapable enough to do that.
The only possibility was that those two men were still foolishly attempting to resist.
Xander sarcastically chuckled at the thought of this. "I'd like to see how long they can hold out!"
He raised the vial in his hand and examined it with satisfaction under the light.
He would only make it even more difficult for Rosalie to develop an antidote in the future if Byron cameto plead with him today.
He had added quite a few things to the antidote this time.
Xander stared at the vial for a while. He was finally feeling better. He turned his head and glanced athis assistant. "Did you find out anything about what I told you to look into last time?"
After Rosalie hung up the call earlier in the morning, Xander instructed his assistant to investigateByron's marriage.
If Byron dared to play tricks, it was likely that he would do the same again.
The assistant lowered his head even more when Xander mentioned this. His voice sounded hesitant.
"President Lawrence... I checked the public records, but I couldn't find President Lawrence’s marriageregistration. The Lincoln family hasn't responded yet either."
In other words, that marriage certificate was likely fake!
"How dare he deceive me?!" Xander's hand that was holding the vial clenched tightly. His face turnedlivid with rage as he asked, "What about the transfer procedures for the ten subsidiary companies?Have they been processed?"
The assistant, afraid of bearing the brunt of Xander's anger, wished he could find a hole to crawl into."Not yet. They said President Lawrence must handle it personally, but..."
He was fooled again!
The stress level in the office suddenly reached its peak!
