Alistair could not say anything more. He could only arrange for someone to drive Old Master Loewe back.
Only Alistair and Andrea were left in the villa.
“Are we going to let him work in Rosalie’s research institute? You put so much effort into getting him out of seclusion.”
Andrea felt it was not worth it.
Alistair glared at her, displeased. He retorted, “What else can I do? Are you capable enough to make him work for us?”
Andrea’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing his unfriendly tone. She remained silent yet was still unconvinced.
She could not understand what was so good about Rosalie that even Old Master Loewe wanted to work for her.
He should stay on their side, even if he wanted to escape seclusion.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room was tense.
Alistair remained silent for a while before saying, “We might not be able to stop that old man, but we can’t let Rosalie get him either.”
Upon hearing this, Andrea nodded and asked curiously, “What should we do, then?”
Old Master Loewe had decided to work for Rosalie. How were they supposed to stop that from happening?
Alistair looked at her, and his anger had subsided a little. He poured her a cup of tea and instigated her, saying, “After all, you were the one who invited Old Master Loewe over, and he cured Rosalie. It would only be reasonable if they thanked and rewarded you with something.”
Andrea looked at him in a puzzle.
Alistair cuddled her ambiguously and said, “We’re in the same boat. Why would I lie to you? When you asked me to help you find someone to save Rosalie, didn’t I help you get Old Master Loewe here?”
With his instigation, Andrea gradually decided to do as he said.
“You might be the leader of the Quirke family in the future if you do as I say!” Alistair added.
Finally, Andrea leaned against his chest and said obediently, “Well… I’ll talk to my brother about it and see how he plans to thank me.”
Alistair looked at the woman in his arms with a cunning look, but he patted her shoulder comfortingly. “I’ll wait for your good news.”
After planning for a while, Alistair arranged for a driver to drive Andrea back since it was getting late.
