Chapter 228

It’s But An Excuse “I didn’t ask you to help me.” Rosalie said calmly after a while. Her tone was the
same distant one. Byron’s brows furrowed slightly as displeasure filled the corners of his eyes and
brows. “Is that so? What would you have done if I hadn’t interfered just now?” Rosalie dropped her
gaze. “I’m a doctor. I would have naturally found a way.”

After studying acupuncture and moxibustion for so many years, Rosalie knew what acupoints could
instantly rid a person’s ability to attack yet not kill them. If the man had gotten any closer, she would not
have minded letting him know what the difference was between them as doctors.

However, Byron had appeared before she showed her hand.

Byron understood what she was saying.

He had watched Rosalie from the side when she gave Old Master Quirke acupuncture before and
knew the woman was well-versed in the understanding of human acupoints. Considering this, she did
have the ability to protect herself just now.

Thinking of this, Byron internally heaved a sigh of relief.

However, seeing the cold expression in front of him, Byron still felt unhappy. “So, do you think I was
meddling?” Rosalie was silent as she looked at him indifferently.

Although she did not say anything, her expression clearly revealed her thoughts.

It was the first time Byron had encountered such a situation. He had helped someone out of kind-
heartedness, but he was told to have been meddling. “No matter how you put it, I helped you.”



Rosalie did not want to waste any more time. Hearing this, she frowned and thanked perfunctorily,
“Thank you, President Lawrence, but I really should head back now. Since you came here to deal with
business, I suppose there’s someone waiting for you too. Shouldn’t you go back quickly?”

With that, she nodded to the man and turned around to go back to the private room.

Just as she took a step, she was caught by the wrist.

Perhaps due to the alcohol getting to her head, Rosalie only felt like every trace of emotion in her heart
was ainplified,

Aware of the man’s behavior, the spark in her heart also exploded.

Rosalie suddenly frowned and looked at the man in front of her angrily. “What do you think you’re
doing? I already thanked you. What else do you want me to do?”

She was infatuated with this man six years ago but still got hurt to that extent.

She had made up her mind to cut ties with this person, but she got entangled with him again! Rosalie
really could not figure out what he was thinking and did not want to guess anymore. She just wanted to
minimize contact with him.

This man, however, was leaving much to be desired!

Byron also did not know what was wrong with him. When he came to, he was already holding onto a
slender wrist in his hand.

Seeing the woman’s angry expression, he could not help but frown. “Is this your attitude toward the
person who helped you? You’re in such a hurry to go back. What important person is waiting for you at



the dinner table?” Rosalie thought that he was being unreasonable. “What anyone has to do with me
has nothing to do with you. Let go of me!”

The strength of the man’s grip on her suddenly increased.

Rosalie felt the pain, and her expression changed little by little.

Byron naturally did not miss the changes in her expression, but he also did not reduce his strength.
Instead, he approached Rosalie.

Rosalie’s eyes shrunk slightly, and her entire person tightened up.

Byron smiled vaguely. He looked at her with a gaze that carried oppression as he stared at Rosalie’s
face. “Even if you think I was meddling and don’t want to thank me, I’m afraid that my business
cooperation talk is going to fail since I left the client inside the private room to help you. I wonder how
you’re going to compensate me?” Hearing this, Rosalie frowned and met the man’s gaze.

As if she would believe that someone out there did not respect the Lawrences.

This was but an excuse from Byron.

Since he said that, however, Rosalie also did not want to inexplicably feel like she owed him one.
