Chapter 66 I‘m Not Close To You
Andrea‘s words made Wendy‘s eyes shroud with uncertainty.
After getting rejected by Byron previously, in addition to the sudden news of this woman‘s return, Wendy dared not wait any longer.
During this time, she had been trying every means to share Byron‘s last name. Early this morning, Wendy intentionally invited Byron‘s parents for a meal hoping to impress them while thinking that Byron would listen to his folks and change his mind.
The whole situation backfired while she bent over backward trying to please the little brat. Nevertheless, Byron‘s folks were there, so she had to swallow all that rage with a smile. At the end of the day, Wendy decided to go out shopping with Andrea in hopes to calm down her anger. She did not expect to hear such news. Many famous doctors could not make any breakthrough with Old Man Quirke‘s condition, but he was cured by Rosalie. Moreover, this woman had signed a contract with Andrius in advance to obtain a supply of medicinal materials for her research institute at half price!
‘I did everything to get Coast City’s medicinal material suppliers to boycott Rosalie‘s research institute. Has it all been for nothing?‘
Wendy‘s inner thoughts were reflected in her cold eyes as she asked Andrea, “Didn‘t I arrange for a medical team to treat Grandpa Quirke? Didn‘t that suffice? Why let her take over his medical treatment?”
Wendy‘s eyes shot daggers at the woman inches away from her as her anger continued to simmer in the pit of her stomach.
‘All that effort was spent, but this woman still managed to find a supplier in Coast City! Worst of all, this woman probably thought I was a joke and laughed at me behind my back!‘
Andrea was stunned for a moment, then she hesitantly said, “…It‘s not that the medical team you arranged for didn‘t suffice. This woman approached my brother herself. She managed to persuade my brother by improving Grandpa‘s condition under her treatment. My brother has called the shots. She‘ll be responsible for Grandpa‘s follow–up treatment.”
At this point, it is useless for Wendy to say anything more. Her heart writhed in disdain, but her face was polite, “I didn‘t know that you were so capable, Miss Jacobs. Even a professional medical team can‘t compare to you alone.” Rosalie glanced at the screen of her mobile phone and replied indifferently, “There are many things that you don‘t know. Now that you know I‘ve signed a contract with the Quirke family, what other tricks do you want to play?” Wendy‘s face sank abruptly, yet her tone was very innocent.
“What do you mean? You cured Grandpa Quirke and I can‘t thank you enough. How could I play tricks on you?” Rosalie could not bother to play pretend with her and said bluntly, “I think deep inside your heart, you know clearly what I mean. Besides, even if you have more tricks up your sleeves, I really don‘t care.”
Hearing this, Wendy lowered her face and did not answer immediately.
Andrea saw the two of them throwing daggers at each other and cautiously interjected,” Wendy, do you… know each other?” Wendy sneered, no longer concealing her hostility toward Rosalie. NôvelDrama.Org content.
“More than that, I‘d say our fate is intertwined,” Wendy turned to look at Rosalie with all intention to provoke. “Wouldn‘t you agree, Miss Jacobs?”
Rosalie heard this sentence as soon as she paid her bill. She raised her eyes and glanced at the two people in front of her. She responded, “I disagree, Miss Fuller. I‘m not close to you. Please don‘t say such words again, Miss Fuller. This will make me feel greatly troubled and uncomfortable.”
Wendy‘s expression froze at the sting of Rosalie‘s rejection, her eyes now full of anger.
“It‘s getting late. The two of you should hurry in and have dinner. Have fun, ladies,” Rosalie nodded simply, then walked past them right out of the restaurant with her two little boys in tow.
