My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball novel Chapter 1644

The hostility from Yves gradually lessened when Rosalie's situation was described.

"The experts I hired guessed that Xander was probably using a certain kind of herb, but they had no clue as to what exactly it was."

Byron spoke in a hushed voice.

Yves noted the details. "You went and asked Xander about it?"

Otherwise, there was no way he would know so many details.

Byron nodded.

Yves sneered. "If I’m guessing right, Xander did not agree to cure Dr. Jacobs. He must have offered some kind of condition that you can't accept, and you are not willing to pay for Dr. Jacobs. That's why you thought of me."

As he spoke, Yves leaned back in his chair behind him. "If your love for Dr. Jacobs is nothing more than that, I believe there is no need for me to help you. Mr. Lawrence, you should know that we are love rivals."

Byron's eyebrows were locked. "If he had made an offer, I would have agreed to it, but Xander is intentionally stalling for time, and I can't wait any longer!"

The implication was that Xander was not even offering conditions, but just leaving him hanging.

Yves raised his eyebrows before finally sitting upright again, his tone disdainful. "He's a pretender, of course, you can't count on him!"

After saying that, he focused his gaze and fell into deep thought.

"Even though the drug was administered through inhalation, Xander, who was in the same room with Dr. Jacobs, was fine. He must have used the antidote for himself, and the antidote must have a certain time limit. Otherwise, if he inhaled it for extended periods, he would have been affected by the drug as well."

This speculation was largely in line with the experts' and researchers' guesses, but with a few more details than they had.

Byron now believed Linda's claim that Yves was more proficient at this.

Yves quickly fell into his own thoughts, mumbling the names of several herbs, wondering whether they were the antidote. Seconds later, however, he would reject each possibility.

Byron had no knowledge of this field and could only wait impatiently for his results.

When Byron was about to get up and leave, Yves suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Lawrence."

Byron paused slightly and turned back to look at him. "What else do you need, Dr. Graham?"

Yves sized him up, his gaze lingering on his face for a long time.

He had done something outrageous to Rosalie before, and he still remembered Byron's angry look at that time.

He thought that when he saw him again, Byron would be disgusted with him to the core.

Byron may commend his willingness to help, but this was what should be expected of him in the first place.

He never thought that Byron would be so polite.

It came as a surprise to him.
