The clock struck half-past ten, and there was still no news from Byron. Xander grew even more restless. Could it be possible that they had truly developed the antidote?For a moment, Xander began to doubt himself. Just as he felt a wave of shock, his phone on the desk suddenly rang. His expression slightly stiffened as he turned to glance at the caller ID. When he saw Byron's name on the phone screen, a relieved smile spread across his face as he coldly muttered, "Better late than never."However, instead of immediately answering the call, he leisurely strolled around the office with his hands behind his back before finally coming to a stop by the window. He gazed out at the cityscape that overlooked the entire seaside town, while the ringing of his phone echoed from behind him. Xander felt a sense of tranquility washing over him."Mr. Lancer, it's a call from President Lawrence. Aren't you going to answer?" the assistant cautiously inquired, unable to comprehend the situa

The wait continued for 20 minutes, then another five minutes. There was still no sign of Byron.Xander's face gradually darkened.It seemed that Byron would not show up.He sounded so confident on the phone, claiming he was willing to do anything.Now it seemed like empty words!His feelings for Rosalie were nothing but a joke!"Mr. Lancer, it's been nearly half an hour, and President Lawrence still hasn't shown up. Should we call him?" the assistant cautiously asked.Xander replied coldly, "Call him."The assistant immediately took out his phone and dialed Byron's number.However, the call was immediately hung up.The assistant hesitantly looked up at his boss when the call was disconnected.A shadow cast over Xander’s face, enveloping it in a veil of darkness.The atmosphere grew thick with tension, suffocating the room and making each breath a struggle."That bastard got me fooled again!"Xander cursed as he clenched his teeth, "I'll make him kneel before me and beg for

Byron did not say a word at all. He just punched and kicked the man hard, venting all his frustrations.Xander could not even speak at the end. He could only pant heavily, trying to relieve the pain.Byron became numb after an unknown period, and his fists finally stopped.Xander's heart sank completely.‘Byron dares to treat me like this, which means Rosalie must have developed an antidote!’Realizing this, Xander was in disbelief.‘The poison I’ve developed after years of study was unraveled by Rosalie in just a day!‘How is it possible?’However, he looked at Byron. The coldness and disgust on the man’s face made his heart tremble again.Before, he had full confidence in Byron because he knew he had Rosalie's antidote as leverage.Now, he had no foothold against Byron. Xander finally felt fear from the inside out as he faced the man!As expected of a fearsome overlord in the business world, Byron’s aura seemed to weigh a million tonnes. Xander felt pressure like no other,

At the same time, Mary, the three little ones, Old Master Loewe, Linda, and Andrius waited nervously in the ward on the top floor of the hospital.They worked hard to develop the antidote at the last moment.After Rosalie took the antidote, all her vital signs returned to normal. However, she remained unconscious."Godmother, is our antidote effective?"Lucian asked in his childlike voice. He could not help feeling a little anxious after waiting for a long time.Mary was feeling uneasy too because Rosalie was still asleep. However, she tried to calm down and comfort the little guy."It can't be wrong. This is a prescription written by your mommy. Besides, look, her vital signs are recovering."With that, she looked at Old Master Loewe uneasily, hoping to get his affirmation.The old man nodded slightly with a calm expression on his face.Only then did Mary feel more at ease."But why isn't Mommy awake?"Estie had cried badly just now. There were sniffles in her voice, and he

"Um, where’s Byron?"Rosalie's first instinct was to look around the ward for Byron as soon as she woke up.However, she became a little worried when she looked around and did not find him.She even began to doubt whether she had really developed an antidote.‘Did Byron go to find Xander…’This possibility made Rosalie uneasy.Everyone in the ward looked at each other in blank dismay at the mention of Byron's whereabouts.Rosalie's heart sank in an instant. She looked at her best friend and asked, "What's going on? Is he going to..."Mary knew before she even finished and quickly explained, "No, he didn't go to look for Xander. Don’t worry."Rosalie looked doubtful.Mary had no choice but to say, "He did plan to go, but we developed the antidote in time, so he dismissed the idea. He fed you the medicine himself!"Rosalie was still puzzled. "Where is he now?""He went out after feeding you the antidote. He even made sure that the antidote was effective before he left, but we
