Chapter 1694 Xander’s Fault

Rosalie’s shocked reaction was within Byron’s expectations.

However, Byron did not plan to hide it from Rosalie for Xander’s sake.

He wanted Rosalie to know how dangerous Xander was and warn her to stay away from Xander.

“Each time you negotiated with Xander for the past cooperation, Xander would light an incense. The incense is the poison he made himself. The poison accumulated in your body over time, and the effect took place.”

Byron explained to Rosalie what Xander had done to her.

Hearing this, Rosalie recalled something and muttered, “No wonder...”

“No wonder what?” Byron asked, confused.

Rosalie looked into his eyes. “That day, I clearly refused to cooperate with Xander, yet Xander came to the research institute. He asked me to get into his car. When I was in the car, I smelled something but did not care much about it back then.”

When she recalled it, that might be the final time Xander poisoned her.

Realizing this, Rosalie felt fear when she recalled Xander’s face. “I always thought that he was at least a doctor, so he would have some restraints, but now I’m beginning to doubt myself...”

She never expected the descendants of the Lancer family to be so despicable.

“That’s why I’m saying it’s my fault you ended up like this.” Byron looked into Rosalie’s eyes, feeling guilt and remorse.

Hearing his words, Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts and disagreed. “Why do you say so? This is clearly Xander’s fault!”

Byron stroked her long hair with a wry smile. “If I hadn’t taught you the skill of negotiation, you wouldn’t have negotiated with him over interests. After this incident, I’d rather you have split it 50-50 with him.”

Rosalie lifted her hand and grabbed his hand with a serious look on her face.

“No. Even if you had not taught me, I would’ve stuck to my thoughts. I would’ve negotiated with him even longer. Because of you, he didn’t find the last chance to poison me. So, he came looking for me personally.”

Moreover, she felt Xander might have started poisoning her since long ago.

Long before this cooperation, she felt that Xander’s attitude had gradually changed!

Therefore, no matter what she did, it was inevitable that he would poison her.

On the contrary, if it were not for Byron, she might actually have…

Rosalie recalled something and frowned. “Xander has been planning this for long. Why would he easily give you the antidote? Did you promise him something?”

Byron did not plan to hide anything from Rosalie and told her about Xander’s condition.

Xander had asked for a lot. He wanted ten sub-companies from Lawrence Corporation and even wanted Byron to marry another woman.

Rosalie felt anger burst in her as she listened to them. “His requests are too much!”

She was the one who was poisoned, yet Xander tried to get the benefits from Lawrence Corporation!

He even tried to separate them!

“Are you going to give him ten sub-companies? What about Lawrence Corporation? Will the other shareholders agree? Won’t they be displeased about it?”

Rosalie was worried.

Byron smiled. “It’s only ten sub-companies. The reason why those companies make money is because the person in charge is me. As long as I want, each sub-company can be profitable. However, they might not be as profitable as before in Xander’s hands.”
