Chapter 753 Angelina Meets Him
He stepped forward to listen to Carlos's heartbeat and diagnosed, "The heart rate is normal. He must be asleep!"
The caretaker breathed a sigh of relief and stepped over. "Mr. Harrington, it's getting late. Since Mr. Blanchet is resting, you should go back and accompany Ms. Blanchet!"
Rock rubbed his fingers and nodded with a faint smile. "Then I shall take my leave.""
He left with his hands behind his back.
Outside the ward, a confident smile appeared on his lips.
It was the next morning.
After finishing his IV, Lawrence went straight from the hospital to work at the Rodriguez Group.
Bob, who rushed over upon hearing the news, looked grim. He stared at the injuries on Lawrence's arm and collar, furious. "Are you out of your mind? Go home and rest! You just got out of the hospital and came to the office. Do you have a death wish?"
Lawrence said, "Dad, it's not that serious. Besides, didn't you say that it's important to bounce back quickly?"
Lawrence casually sat down behind his desk.
Bob was taken aback. What happened to Lawrence? Why did he suddenly seem so energetic?
Just a few days ago, he had realized he couldn't continue to be despondent.
But even then, he had looked lifeless and defeated.
Could it be that he had a brush with death last night and decided to pull himself together?
With lingering fear, Bob said, "I wasn't there last night. How did an explosion happen at the King Family's place? I heard the police and firefighters were there. Was someone trying to harm Angelina, or were they targeting you?"
Lawrence glanced at him. "Dad, you might have guessed it.
But we need to wait for the police to investigate."
"Was it the Peterson Family's doing?" Bob was furious. "I heard Mars incited Ms. Peterson to frame you at the banquet."
Lawrence said, "Everyone knows it, but there's no evidence."
Bob's face turned icy, and he slammed his hand on the desk, his fingers clenching into a red fist. "This is outrageous! Ronnie and his people have gone too far. Because of the thirty-year feud between Hellen, me, and him, they've made the Rodriguez Family unstable and still won't stop. The Peterson Family has everything now. Why do they keep targeting you, my family?"
"Don't overthink it." Lawrence's eyes were cold. "This isn't your fault, Dad. I was already planning to compete with the Peterson Family for Adam's cooperation. They targeted me to prevent me from bouncing back. And Mars has always held a grudge against me, so he made a move."
"It's my fault for misjudging Mars and taking him in as a godson. Now the Peterson Family is too arrogant." Bob gritted his teeth.
Lawrence nodded. "Don't underestimate the Peterson Family's ruthlessness. If it was Mars who did it last night, Ronnie would probably push Phoebe out to protect him. After all, Phoebe had a public conflict with me and had a motive. Let's see. There should be news about this soon."
Bob's eyes were cold. Ronnie was even more despicable than he had imagined!
Such people are the hardest to deal with.
Lawrence said, "But the explosion was so strange. I believe Adam isn't a fool. He should be able to sense the Peterson Family's involvement. Last night, I gave him the information about the cooperation with NexaCore Group. The Rodriguez Group's advantage in chips is unmatched by the Peterson Group. Adam should consider meeting me again. I'll go find him tomorrow!"
"Good." Bob nodded with some relief. At least last night, Lawrence had risked his life to secure another chance to negotiate.
He heard Lawrence saved Angelina.
And Samuel and Adam had been friends for years.
Before leaving, Bob reminded him, "The Peterson Family will stop at nothing against you, Lawrence. Be careful!"
"I will," Lawrence replied, with a cold and arrogant demeanor.
In fact, he suspected that last night's explosion wasn't just Mars's doing; Rock might have been involved too.
After all, these people all wanted him dead.
Lawrence had just opened a file to read.
Not long after, Bryan knocked and came in to report, "Mr. Rodriguez, there's a young lady named Angelina outside insisting on seeing you."
Lawrence furrowed his brows and said indifferently, "Let her in."
The office door was quickly pushed open. Angelina, wearing a cool dress with a short jacket and pink high heels, walked in gracefully.
She had beautiful makeup on, earrings, and a bare neck, showing off her elegant neckline. She exuded a mix of innocence and vibrant sensuality.
"Mr. Rodriguez!" Angelina smiled gently and tilted her head as she approached Lawrence's desk. "I'm here to thank you for saving my life last night! And here's the suit jacket you gave me last night. I had it dry-cleaned personally."
Angelina pointed to the high-end logo bag with her delicate fingers.
Lawrence didn't look at her.
Seeing this, Bryan quickly took the bag.
"Thank you. If there's nothing else..." Lawrence said, still focused on his documents, hinting for her to leave.
Lawrence said, "Who said I have nothing else?"
Angelina smiled playfully. She leaned closer to the desk, looking at the tall and upright Lawrence in the chair. He seemed to have not slept all night, his handsome features slightly unkempt, with a sexy stubble outlining his jaw, making him even more attractive.
Today, he wore a dark shirt with one button casually undone, revealing a sexy collarbone and Adam's apple.
Indeed, Lawrence was the man she had her eyes on, exuding sharpness and nobility at all times.
Even though he hadn't moved, his powerful aura enveloped her firmly. Even his long, pen-holding fingers made her think of strength and elegance.
Her face turned red.
Lawrence, she had to have him.
Angelina took a deep breath, her dimples showing a hint of charm as she leaned closer. "Mr. Rodriguez, I want to repay you for saving my life. Do you have time for lunch? I have a private restaurant in Trento City that my daddy gave me."
She was confident. After all, she was Samuel's daughter. Given Lawrence's current predicament, he would surely seize this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Lawrence just gave her a cold glance and continued signing documents. "I don't need repayment. I don't have time."
Angelina said, "Come on, how about dinner then?"
Lawrence lost his patience. "Ms. Harper, I made it clear last night. I saved you only to avoid being hunted by your father. It has nothing to do with you personally."
Angelina was momentarily stunned. She had thought he would definitely accept her invitation.
Unexpectedly, Lawrence was completely indifferent to her charms. His eyes were like ancient ice, devoid of the calculations and distractions of worldly men.
It didn't seem like he was trying to attract her on purpose.
At that moment, Angelina suddenly found herself even more drawn to the genuine and haughty Lawrence.
