Chapter 164 Still Not Going To Leave? Melody, along with Master and Madam Quirke, was with the old
master when Byron and his party were called back. After learning there was nothing wrong, they were
about to leave when they saw Rosalie and Leon coming over one after another.
“Old Master, if there‘s nothing else, I‘ll be heading back first. The children are still waiting at home,”
Rosalie politely said goodbye. Hearing this, Clara was a little surprised. “Are you leaving so soon? The
banquet is only halfway through. Why not stay a little longer?” Rosalie smiled apologetically. “No, it‘s fine.
I‘m really worried about the children at home.” Everyone present knew about her two children. Seeing
her adamant, they thought it would be impolite to have her stay.
The old master waved his hand and ordered Andrius, “I won‘t be at ease with Dr. Jacobs going back so
late. Go and see her off.” Andrius turned to look at Byron‘s expression. Seeing that he was not unhappy,
he knew he had agreed to it and was about to nod when Leon‘s voice rang out untimely, “There‘s no

I‘ll send Rosalie back on the way.”
After that was said, Andrius clearly felt the air pressure around him falling again. He cleared his throat
and was about to snatch back the job when another cold voice cut his words off.
“Young Master Leon, since you‘re busy with his work, I don‘t mind sending Miss Jacobs back, “Byron
said to the crowd. He slowed his voice down, as if afraid that some people might not be able to hear him
clearly. He continued, “It just so happens that I can go visit my daughter at Miss Jacobs‘ place.”
For a while, everyone present was stunned. Melody‘s and Wendy‘s faces collapsed immediately. They
had specially arranged for Byron to pick Wendy up so that the two could cultivate their feelings.
Moreover, since they had appeared together, the guests present obviously all thought that a joyous
occasion was on the horizon.
Now, Byron wanted to send Rosalie back in front of so many people. He even mentioned the matter with
Estie in front of everyone. Was he not just slapping them across the face? Shock and anger appeared on
Wendy‘s face for a moment. Her hands that were by her sides were tightly clenched. If she were not
careful, her anger would leak.
“Your daughter?” Leon was puzzled. What did Byron‘s daughter have to do with Rosalie?
Byron calmly answered, “My daughter has been staying at Miss Jacobs‘ place these two days,
so I‘m stopping by her house to see my daughter. Is there a problem with that?” He did not lower his
voice, which naturally spread to the surrounding guests. Hearing this, everyone immediately started
talking about it. Wendy did not expect Byron to point this out directly. Hearing the discussion around her,
she was livid. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head to avoid the strange gazes.
The elders of the Quirke family were very surprised.
They had all seen how much Byron prioritized Estie on a regular basis. They just did not know that Byron
was so close to Rosalie that even Estie would be under her care.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmListening to what he said, it seemed that Estie had been living with Rosalie for some time. Andrius only
just learned of this. He was very shocked but also felt that it was somewhat expected. After thinking
about it, he remained silent. For a moment, the atmosphere among them was very strange. Rosalie
secretly bit her lip, trying to calm herself down. She was equally shocked. However, while the others
were shocked that Estie was living with her, she was shocked that Byron would talk about this in front of
so many people. What was going on? She racked her brain trying to break the weird atmosphere.
Someone grabbed her wrist before she managed to come up with something. “Aren‘t you in a hurry to go
back? Why aren‘t you leaving yet?” Byron‘s cold voice sounded in her ear, and his grip on her wrist
tightened. Rosalie suddenly came back to her senses. She could not care about her surroundings
anymore. She only managed to say goodbye to the old master hurriedly before she was dragged away
