Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Yoli finally bagged second place, but before she could pop the champagne, the tables turned. Attlee was a cocktail of emotions – regret, heartache, anger, and frustration all in one.

He thought of Allbara Investment and the penny dropped.

"So, she’s been dining with Dylan and his gang, no wonder Mario is treating her like a queen" Attlee said.

It was probably because she was Maestro Melody, so she had got a bunch of big shots in her corner.

Attlee was kicking himself, "We should have called Yoli in. All we can do now is apologize to her sincerely, fingers crossed she’ll forgive us."

Why? Olga protested loudly. "Yoli already apologized on stage."

Were they supposed to apologize in private too? Wasn’t that just lowering themselves and letting Rosemary walk all over them?

"if we could avoid a six million loss just by saying sorry, you’d be laughing your ass off!" Attlee sensed that this was more than meets the eye, "What I’m worried about is, we’ve hurt that kid too many times.

She might not let us off the hook so easily."

She had already blocked their phone numbers.

"Didn’t she used to fancy Yoli’s necklace? We could give that to her." Olga said.

Before Olga could finish, Attlee started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Olga asked.

"Do you think a piano maestro would be short of cash for a necklace?" Attlee asked.

"Then why would she steal Yoli’s necklace? And date a bunch of guys? Isn’t it for the money?" Olga said.

Attlee pondered and said, "What Yoli said might not be true. She’s dating all these guys probably because she’s a piano maestro and wants to connect with like–minded people."

After all, these high profile people loved to flock together.

Olga listened to him, and it suddenly made sense. But how could Yoli possibly lie? Attlee must be overthinking!

Just then, Attlee’s phone rang again, it was Ben from the company.

"Mr. Harris, we’re screwed! The Collins family has announced that they won’t allow any company to collaborate with the Harris family, and whoever dares to help us will be challenging them!" Ben said,

"Now a few more companies have terminated their contracts with us. If this keeps up, our company is going bankrupt!"

Attlee was stunned and utterly confused, "We haven’t offended the Collins family, did they mention why?"

"No." Ben said.

"Then go find out!!" Attlee was running around like a headless chicken. There was no conflict with the Collins family at the awards ceremony today. They didn’t even say hi! How could they have offended

them?

"Don’t worry, I’m on it." Ben said.

After hanging up, Attlee had a sinking feeling that he was done for.

He couldn’t figure out why the Collins family would make such a statement, was it because of Rosemary?

Did the Collins family have a soft spot for Maestro Melody, and decided to step in when they saw her being treated unfairly?

If that was the case, they had just pissed off two big shots.

Luxury villa by the lake.

The moment Kenneth got home, he felt that the piano in the house didn’t match his daughter’s status.

He immediately whipped out his phone, "I want to order a diamond–encrusted piano for my daughter! Everything but the keys should be studded with diamonds, and the sound quality should be top–notch! It has to be delivered by tonight."

"The piano we have is too basic, not suitable for my daughter." Louisa said with a beaming smile, "Go buy some top–quality meat and vegetables. Tonight, we’re throwing a celebration for Rosemary!"

Beside her, Edith asked respectfully and curiously, "What are we celebrating? Madam, is there some good news?"

"Rose is a world–renowned piano master! We, as parents, only found out about it today." Louisa said.

Before Louisa could finish, the maids were both surprised and delighted, "She is amazing. So young and already so talented?"

Did this mean her status in the piano world was even higher than Serena’s? Serena’s expression didn’t seemed so good.

"Rosemary is really too modest." Louisa lovingly glanced at Rosemary, "Are you tired? Go upstairs and rest first, I’ll call you when dinner is ready." "Okay." Rosemary said.

After Rosemary went upstairs, she received a call from Jack.

"Can you come to Villa Cascada? The A33 project failed again." Jack said.

Villa Cascada was Rosemary’s luxurious villa on the top of the south hill in the suburbs of Summerfield. It could be considered her main base, with a beautiful view and many large laboratories.

The laboratories were equipped with the most advanced equipment and instruments from home and abroad. Many of Rosemary’s previous medical experiments were completed there.

A33 was a shorthand for a research project on Alzheimer’s disease. This disease was currently incurable and could only be temporarily alleviated by drugs. The difficulty of developing a drug that

could completely cure Alzheimer’s disease was imaginable.

"Boss, this project is too costly. Should we switch to another one? It’s not a solution to keep pouring in money." Jack said.

"I’ll come over in a bit." Rosemary said calmly.

"That’s great, could you make some HeartEase and Time–defying Potion when you come? There are a lot of people on the black market willing to pay a high price for them." Jack said.

"Okay." Rosemary said.

After hanging up the phone, Rosemary took the medicine that Kelly gave her. She told Louisa, and then left.

Villa Cascada was situated in a dense forest, magnificent and sprawling. The security guards at the gate were excited and respectful when they saw Rosemary, "You’re finally here!"

When Rosemary entered the main hall, Jack was already waiting there, "Long time no see, you’re still as cool as ever."

Rosemary’s aura was cold as ice, with a leader–like demeanor, "And you’ve gotten bolder."

Jack shrank his neck in fright, "Not at all!"

When Rosemary walked into Lab 1, a few PhDs and experts greeted her. She just nodded, changed into her lab coat, and strolled in with her long legs, "What stage are we at with the project?"

"We’ve been struggling to extract the Jade Leaf." One of the doctors sighed, "There’s something in it that boosts memory, but the extraction process is too delicate. If we’re not careful, we could destroy the

compound. We’ve been trying for over two weeks without success."

Another chimed in, "We’ve managed to extract other drugs, but they need to be synthesized together to maximally increase acetylcholine levels in the brain. But we can’t seem to get the synthesis right."

Rosemary pulled up the most recent data of their failed attempts, pondered for a moment, and then said,

"Let me give it a shot."

The PhDs and experts gathered around her, watching as Rosemary tried to extract the Jade Leaf after heating it.

Soon, Rosemary’s phone started buzzing. She was busy and didn’t have time to deal with the call, but the other party kept dialing. Finally, Rosemary had to take off her gloves, step outside, and answer the strange number with a touch of annoyance, "Who is this?"

"Rose, it’s your dad! Please don’t hang up! It’s just going to take two minutes!" Attlee said.

Attlee quickly got to the point, "Yoli plagiarized your work. We’ve already given her a stern talking–to at home. We’re also at fault for not educating her well, leading to such a big mistake. Do you have time

for us to bring her to apologize to you face to face?"

"No need." Rosemary was about to hang up.

"Don’t hang up! Please, Rose, give Yoli a chance to apologize, and us a chance to make it right. We’ve messed up a lot in the past and hurt you. For your grandma’s sake..." Attlee said.

"You have no right to bring up Grandma." Rosemary’s voice was cold as ice.

What, they needed to pay six million and it hurt? Couldn’t bear to part with it? Wanted to use Grandma to soften her up?

"Yes, I have no right to mention your grandma. If your grandma knew that the Harris family fell apart under my watch, she would be heartbroken and her condition could get worse." Attlee said.

Attlee seemed to be full of regret and sorrow, "It’s all our fault. You’re right to hate us. We don’t even dare to ask for your forgiveness, but if you’re willing..."

"I’m not willing." Rosemary cut him off.

Attlee was taken aback by her firm stance, at a loss for what to do, "Rose, what can I do to make you forgive me? Anything that’s within by ability." "You can." Rosemary said straight away, "Pay the six

million, use the rest to buy some good drugs for Grandma on the black market."

Attlee suddenly remembered what Doctor Caden had said that there was a very expensive drug on the black market. One million per pill, two pills a month, and after three months she could have an

operation. This would be much better than living on borrowed time in the hospital.

However, Attlee didn’t want to go through with this idea. His hope was for the old lady to stay in the hospital with all her shares worth thirty million. He was afraid that if she became senile in her old age,

she might transfer her shares to Rosemary.

So he wanted to save Grace, hoping that before she passed away, she could leave all her shares to Yoli in her will.

He thought Rosemary didn’t know his plan, so he said gently, "Rose, don’t worry about Grandma. I will save her. The drugs from the black market are unreliable. Hope Hospital is the best hospital in the

country, known for its cardiology department, and we have professionals like Dr. Greg and Dr. Caden. I have peace of mind with Grandma there."

Rosemary knew what was going on. He just didn’t want to spend the money, only trying to save the six million in compensation. Did he think she couldn’t figure that out?!

"Rose." Attlee said.
