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.”
