Sylvia took a deep breath and said, "I will definitely find a way."
Franklin looked at her delicate face with a doting gaze and said, "It's okay. I am quite healthy and can bear it."
"You..." Sylvia thought about what she wanted to say but didn't. She wanted to ask if he knew how vicious and terrifying this poison was, but felt it would be useless to say it now.
The priority now was to find an antidote.
The three of them walked into the restaurant, where the waitstaff respectfully guided them inside.
Sylvia chose a window seat. As soon as she sat down, the waiter brought the menu over.
"Order whatever you like."
She didn't have much of an appetite and wasn't picky about the food.
Franklin looked at her gently, "No matter what, you should eat well."
He then seriously looked at the menu and ordered a few dishes, almost all of which were Sylvia's favorites.
Putting the menu back on the table, he said, "That will be all."
The waiter was amazed by the three of them. The two men were extraordinarily handsome, and the woman was exceptionally beautiful.
Such a rare sight!
It was uncommon to see such good-looking customers.
The dishes were served quickly. Just as Franklin handed the fork to Sylvia, a joyful voice sounded, "Jasper!"
Jasper had just picked up a mushroom and was about to eat it when he heard the familiar voice. He turned around in surprise to see a stylishly dressed woman walking briskly toward him.
Instinctively, he stood up, "Sis? What are you doing here?"
Carolyn, elegant and well-dressed, with high heels, smiled gracefully, "Mr. Hipps is getting engaged to Miss Howlett. Of course, I came to attend the engagement party."
"I see, I am going there too," Jasper nodded. "Sis, would you like to join us?"
Carolyn smiled and waved to a man at the door, "Kareem, come over and sit."
The man, wearing a black suit, with somewhat delicate features, walked over and sat beside Carolyn. "Didn't expect to run into you all here."
"Mr. McGuire, long time no see," Jasper said in a cool tone, having no particular liking for Kareem.
Kareem maintained a gentle smile, "I've been busy with the project alongside your sister-in-law lately. It hasn't been easy."
Carolyn glanced at him without responding and instead turned to Franklin and Sylvia, "Mr. Maskelyne, Mrs. Maskelyne, your reality show is amazing. I watch it whenever I have free time. The show itself is very meaningful, and I even bought those fruits!"
Sylvia didn't expect Carolyn would have also ordered. She was a bit surprised, "Thank you, Miss Howlett."
Carolyn laughed heartily, exuding the decisiveness of a strong businesswoman, "I gave them as welfare to our McGuire family employees, and they were delighted. The fruits were big and sweet, and I also sent some to my parents."
The last sentence was directed at Jasper.
"How much did you buy?" Jasper suspected it wouldn't be a small amount.
"Ten thousand kilograms. If you are going to buy, you might as well buy a lot. A few hundred kilograms are not worth it," Carolyn said with a charming smile, showing a row of white teeth.
Hearing her words, Kareem's eyes flashed with disdain and malice as he lowered his head to get food.
Only using small favors like these to win over employees, such lowly tactics.
He had been so suppressed by Carolyn at the company lately that he could barely breathe. This woman had been persistently inserting spies around him and continuously stripping him of his powers.
Aside from the PR department, he had almost nothing in his hands now.
This time, coming to Larro with Carolyn to attend Clare and Mollie's engagement party, he was prepared...
Thinking of this, he softly and respectfully served Carolyn some food, "Sis-in-law, try this minced meat eggplant dish; it seems quite good."
To anyone, they looked like a harmonious family.
Carolyn didn't refuse, "Kareem, since you don't come to Larro often, Jasper, who is familiar with the area, can show you around."
"There's nothing for two grown men to visit," Kareem had no desire to interact with Jasper. "I'd rather stay by your side. Uncle asked me to take good care of you."
"Father's worrying for no reason," Carolyn laughed without continuing.
Sylvia found Kareem quite unpleasant. His young eyes had a disconcerting vibe to them.
