“Sure, the scenery and environment here are great. Before I leave, let’s drink until we drop!”
There was laughter on the other end of the phone. “I’m mainly going to see a beautiful woman! You think I’m going to see you? For you to rush back from abroad, she must be a rare beauty!”
A beauty?
Lion’s lips curled at this comment.
“She’s not the type who just plays around.”
“A virtuous wife and good mother?! Your taste has changed so much!”
“Not exactly a virtuous wife and good mother, but when I see her and her strong, independent demeanor, I think she would make a great wife for me.”
Wife!
Hearing this word, the person on the other end almost laughed out loud. “You must be joking. You’re thinking about marriage! Didn’t we agree that none of us would get married? Play around all you want, but don’t get emotionally involved, or the consequences will be dire! I have a bloody example right beside me!”
Lion took a sip from his wine glass. “Oh? You mean Ulric, the president of W Group! He just announced his marriage.”
“Exactly! Think about it, the president of W Group can have any woman he wants, yet he’s smitten by one woman and gives up an entire forest for a single tree! Lion, don’t follow his example. Stay calm!”
“You haven’t met her. After spending time with her, I suddenly think marriage isn’t so bad.”
Hearing his words, the man on the other end almost rolled his eyes. “Wake up, she’s married! Even if she gets divorced, she’d be a second-time bride.”
“I don’t care,” Lion smiled, his eyes filled with undeniable infatuation. “My admiration for her isn’t affected by these things.”
“Stop! I’m booking a flight right now! I’ve seen the woman who bewitched Ulric; now I need to see the woman who has bewitched you, Lion!”
…
Rosalind stayed in the hospital for one night and applied for discharge the next day.
There were so many things waiting for her at the construction site; how could she have the mind to lie in a hospital bed?
“Why don’t you rest for a few more days? If Lion finds out, he’ll scold me,” Mr. Wong quickly walked over when he saw her at the construction site.
“I’m fine,” Rosalind handed over the contracts she was holding to Mr. Wong. “I reviewed these one by one last night; there are no issues. If you’re not confident about the food-related tenders for the resort, you can have professionals take another look. I’ve highlighted the key points and included tender suggestions in the documents. Lion has emphasized food safety qualifications many times; we must strictly enforce this to avoid any negative news about the resort.”
Mr. Wong made an OK gesture as he took the documents. “I trust your work!”
Rosalind smiled and was about to leave when she suddenly paused. “Hey, Mr. Wong, I heard that those who attacked me are being held and awaiting prosecution?”
“Yes, that’s what the police told us.”
“… Does this constitute minor injury?” Otherwise, with such minor injuries, it would usually just be detention and compensation. It was unexpected for Rosalind that it had escalated to criminal charges.
“They said they couldn’t disclose specific details, only that… it seems someone higher up ordered severe punishment for those who attacked you.”
Rosalind furrowed her brows. “Did Lion do this? We shouldn’t be making enemies with these villagers.”
Mr. Wong shrugged. “It wasn’t Lion. We don’t know who it was! This isn’t Lion’s territory; even if he spoke up, it wouldn’t matter! The person behind this must be someone very powerful; otherwise, the locals would definitely side with their own villagers.”
