Chapter 161

Highly Displeased

Rosalie smiled apologetically.

“My apologies, I‘m not really in the mood.” Her refusal was quite indirect, and the gentleman was a little
regretful, but he did not force it. He turned around and left.

It was finally quiet again.

Rosalie was about to sort out her thoughts when suddenly she heard a familiar male voice.

“Rosalie? Is that you?”

Hearing this, Rosalie looked up in the direction of the voice. Just a few steps away was a man dressed
in an iron–gray tuxedo. The handsome gentleman was looking at her in surprise.

When their eyes met, Rosalie‘s eyes lit up. There was also some surprise in them. “Leon? Could there
be such a coincidence?”

Leon was a senior student she met abroad and was also of the outstanding individuals of the younger
generation in the world.

This senior had helped Rosalie a lot when she was abroad in many aspects. Their relationship was
also very good.

Rosalie had not had the opportunity to contact him after returning home because she had been busy
with the research institute.

Seeing that he had not mistaken her, Leon smiled wider. He walked quickly toward Rosalie. “I haven‘t
seen you for quite some time.”



Rosalie nodded with a smile. “We indeed haven‘t seen each other in a while. When did you come
back? Why didn‘t you contact me?”

Leon gave her a once–over and said in a warm voice, “I‘ve been back for half a month. I wanted to
contact you, but I was afraid i‘d be disturbing you. You look a little thinner since I last saw you. Are you
busy with work in the country?” Rosalie smiled noncommittally. “Just a little.” Although work with the
institute had kept her busy, it was a small thing compared to the intensity of her work abroad. What
really thinned her down was… Come to think of it, the three children at home.

There was no need for her to share this private matter with Leon, however.

Leon looked at her with deep concern. “I know you‘re a workaholic, but no matter how busy you are,
you should also pay attention to your health. Don‘t wear yourself out.”

Rosalie nodded obediently.

“By the way, why are you here? Did you cooperate with the Quïrkes the moment you returned home?”
Leon asked with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Rosalie froze for a moment. She thought of the statuses of the guests attending
today‘s birthday banquet and suddenly smiled as she shook her head. “I just came back. How can I be
that capable? It‘s just a coincidence that I was invited to come here after I cured Old Master Quirke‘s
condition. Though I suppose it‘s also right to say that there is a cooperation. The Quirkes are now also
the medicinal materials supplier of our research institute.”

Hearing this, Leon‘s eyes were full of surprise. “I‘ve heard that Old Master Quirke‘s condition was
severe and that many famous doctors were powerless. I then recently heard that the old master had
recovered. I even wondered which doctor it was who was so powerful. I thought of befriending them. I
didn‘t expect it to be you!”



Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. “It‘s also a coincidence. It just so happened to be an area I excel
in.”

Leon frowned slightly. “Don‘t be modest. I don‘t know about the others, but I’m very aware of your
standards. Besides, since you‘ve cured the old master‘s disease, I‘m even more convinced of your
ability.” “You flatter me.” Rosalie laughed. From the old master’s illness to their respective medical
fields, the two talked happily for a time.

Not far away, Byron saw the man who came and went and the one she was now chatting happily with.
His eyes darkened, potent displeasure exuding from his body. The people around him felt waves of
chill.

Andrius naturally noticed the movement over there and had guessed where Byron‘s displeasure was
coming from. At that moment, he said, “Byron, do you want to go and have a look?”
