My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball Chapter 585

Did Not Seem Like Acquaintances

“Speaking of which, how did you hurt your foot?”

On the way back, Xander asked in a puzzled manner.

Rosalie felt a strange feeling in her heart as she thought of how her foot got injured. However, when
she spoke, her tone was cool and indifferent. “It’s nothing. I went for a trip two days ago and was
accidentally scratched by a conch.”

Xander, who was not clear about the entire story, could not help finding it funny when he heard her
reason. “I didn’t expect that a person like you who’s so strict during work would be so careless in
private that you’d be scratched by a conch.”

Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. “What can I say? I’m surprised myself.”

The two of them were talking and laughing all the way.

The car slowly stopped in front of Rosalie’s house, and Xander got out of the car and helped Rosalie.

The two were still chatting about interesting medicine practices, and their faces were full of smiles.

The smile on Rosalie’s face did not fade until a cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

“It seems that Miss Jacobs is in a good mood.” Byron stood at the door of the villa, expressionlessly
looking in their direction.

Hearing his voice, the smile on Rosalie’s face froze before gradually disappearing.

Xander noticed the change in her expression, and the smile on his face also subsided slightly as he
looked at the person at the door in confusion.



When he saw Byron, Xander raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. “Do you know each other?”

They were both from famous families in Coast City. Although the Lancer family had been in seclusion
for many years, Xander and Byron had rubbed shoulders before. Even though they had only met a few
times, they still recognized each other.

Xander had long known that Rosalie had some relationship with the Quirke family, and it was
understandable. After all, Rosalie was a famous doctor, and the Quirke family was also engaged in the
pharmaceutical industry.

However, Rosalie had a friendship with Byron as well? That made Xander a little confused.

Rosalie glanced at the man at the door of the villa with some caution and replied to Xander as calmly
as possible. “President Lawrence happened to be there when I was treating Old Master Quirke.”

The implication was that the two of them just met when she treated old Master Quirke and their
friendship was not deep.

Xander nodded in realization.

Byron had already walked in front of the two of them and heard Rosalie’s intention to clear up their
relationship. His face sank as he glanced at the man beside Rosalie.

His buddy Andrius had told him before that Rosalie would inevitably have contact with Xander due to
work reasons.

However, the close relationship between the two just made Byron feel even more annoyed.

As for Rosalie’s plan to distance himself from him, Byron naturally would not let her do so.



“Your foot is still injured, why did you go out and run around? Where’s Nanny Lisa? Why isn’t she with
you? II

The man did not seem to see Xander beside her, and he cared about Rosalie’s situation intimately.

Hearing this, Xander felt puzzled.

According to Rosalie, the two did not know each other very well.

However, Byron knew about Rosalie’s foot injury and even knew Rosalie’s family well. No matter how
he looked at it, they did not seem like just acquaintances…

Rosalie could see through the man’s intentions. She could not help frowning and said coldly, “Thanks
for your concern, President Lawrence. My injury is fine now.”

Byron noticed her being distant, and displeasure gradually increased in his heart. He turned to look at
Xander by her side. “I’ve also heard about the cooperation between the Lancer family and Miss Jacobs.
Your cooperation together should be really pleasant.”

Xander knew nothing about the relationship between the two, so he simply nodded. “Miss Jacobs has a
great work ethic, and my grandfather is very optimistic about her.”

Xander thought Byron was being cordial to him, but as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Byron’s
unceremonious dismissal. “It’s good to have a pleasant cooperation, but the relationship between
business partners should remain professional. Thank you, Young Master Xander, for sending her back
today. Next time, just leave this to me. Have a good evening, Young Master Xander.”
