Chapter 1635 Willing to Sacrifice

“Now that I think about it, Miss Jacobs was so naïve. I’m starting to feel bad doing this to her…” Xander said ironically.

Before Xander could finish, Byron had already rushed toward him. Then, Xander felt a blow to his gut.

Xander groaned and doubled up in pain. His face had also turned pale.

Byron grabbed Xander by the shoulders and retracted the fist from his stomach. His gaze was cold and dark.

“How dare you say that! Rosie trusted you so much. You are a doctor like her and should be benevolent. How dare you do this to her!”

Thinking about Rosalie quarreling with him because of this scumbag, Byron’s anger grew, and his grip on Xander’s shoulder grew stronger.

Xander gasped for breath and tried to stand up. However, he could only bend his body and raise his head to look at Byron because Byron was pressing him down.

“You don’t deserve to be a doctor!” Byron snapped coldly.

Xander sneered. “I never wanted to be a doctor, and it is none of your concern if I’m not a benevolent doctor! I have only one question. Are you planning to give up on Miss Jacobs’s safety by treating me like this now?”

He struggled when he spoke, trying to break free from Byron’s grip.

Byron’s face was ashen—he let go of Xander.

Xander could finally stand up straight. His hand was still rubbing his aching body.

However, the next moment, he felt his collar being grabbed, making him almost unable to breathe.

“Tell me your conditions now.” Byron squinted his eyes as he emphasized each word. “Don’t try to beat around the bush, or I’ll stop at nothing to make you speak!”

Looking at Byron’s frantic reaction, Xander pondered for a moment.

After a while, he grinned and looked at the man before him coldly. “You can strangle me to death now if you dare. I can assure you no one else can cure Rosalie if I’m dead! I don’t mind waiting for her in the afterworld!”

Byron punched him again in the stomach after he said that.

Byron clenched his fist. “Don’t you dare!”

Xander groaned again, but he was still grinning. “Try all you want. I’ve told you I won’t save her until I’ve considered the terms.”

He could see the hand gripping his collar tighten and then loosen after a second.

After struggling for a moment, Byron pushed Xander away in disgust.

Xander sneered and was so pleased with the situation that he had forgotten the pain in his abdomen.

He was the victor today the moment Byron decided to look for him!

Rosalie’s life was in his hands, and Byron could only beg him now.

Even if he asked Byron to kneel now, Byron would have no choice.

However, doing that would not be fun enough!

He was not someone who cared only about the short-term benefit.

Xander looked at Byron calculatingly.

He finally got this chance, and he planned to make good use of it.

“You can start thinking what you want,” Byron said coldly.

Xander pursed his lips and said slowly, “There are too many things I yearn for. I think the drug Miss Jacobs invented and produced in the research institute belongs to the Lancer Corporation. Moreover, Miss Jacobs’s research institute seems to have a bright future…”

Then, he looked into Byron’s eyes greedily. “There are so many subsidiaries under the Lawrence Corporation. You’re willing to give up some of them for Miss Jacobs, right?”
