Rosalie was unaware Xander had investigated everything in her past six years.Hearing her denial, Xander picked his eyebrows meaningfully and looked at Luther.Luther was displeased by that answer.Byron had helped Rosalie even when he was ill, yet she showed no gratitude.Moreover, she even tried to keep her relationship with Byron a secret as though it was a shame for her to let others know about it.Although Luther had those thoughts in mind, he could not show them before Xander.“These herbs are hard to find. Master has gathered almost all the herbs from Heronial Corporation’s branches.”Rosalie was moved, but she calmed herself down quickly.“I appreciate President Lawrence’s help, but…”She felt Byron was only doing this to make it up to her for making use of her.Rosalie did not want to accept the medicines.Moreover, Xander had provided them with enough.She had hardly finished her refusal when Xander spoke.“Since President Lawrence is willing to help, why don’t y
Meanwhile, Xander had just walked into his house and run into his parents.“Mom, Dad, why are you back?”From the moment he showed that he could take over the company, his parents started traveling the world, giving free clinic sessions.Xander did not know why they came back without even letting him know in advance.Paige frowned and glanced at Xander in displeasure. “I heard you have been mixing around with Byron’s ex-wife?”Some time ago, public opinion was all over the internet. Xander’s parents caught wind of it too.Thus, they investigated Rosalie and discovered she was a mother of two.To their surprise, she was even Byron’s ex-wife.The thought of her son getting so close to a woman who was divorced with two children made Paige feel uncomfortable.Xander looked at his mother, surprised. “How did you know that?”Xander had admitted it since he had not denied it at once.Paige’s expression turned gloomier. “We saw the public opinion online some time ago, and
Xander saw through his parents’ thoughts and felt helpless.“Since you’ve investigated Miss Jacobs, I’m sure you know she’s a great doctor.”His parents could not deny that.They saw that Rosalie was once a student under Quentin Luke, and she was his favorite student.That alone was a recognition of Rosalie’s medical accomplishments.However, that did not mean they could accept Rosalie, a divorced mother of two, as their daughter-in-law.Xander knew his parents were still concerned about the rumors and could only continue explaining.“Lancer Corporation had just established a new project, and you know about it.”Tucker nodded.Although they had been away from home for years, they still knew what was going on in their family and business.Xander nodded in satisfaction at his father’s reaction. “Since you know this project, you should know that Miss Jacobs is also a member of it.”It would be fine if Xander did not mention the project. Paige’s face sank again when she heard th
In the research institute, Luther helped Rosalie carry those medicine boxes while he kept mentioning nice things about Byron.Unfortunately, Rosalie remained unmoved.Luther could do nothing more.After moving the medicines, he excused himself and left.On the way back to Lawrence Corporation, Luther felt it was unfair to Byron.Luther’s face still looked gloomy when he returned to Byron’s office to report to him.“Why do you look so sullen?”Byron frowned and thought Rosalie rejected his kindness.Luther snapped out of his thought and grinned guiltily. “It’s nothing…”Byron did not ask further when he realized Luther did not seem like he wanted to share what was wrong. “Have you delivered the medicines?”Luther suppressed his displeasure and answered, “I’ve delivered them, and Miss Jacobs has checked them personally.”Then, he thought Byron would ask him about Rosalie after he mentioned her.Unexpectedly, Byron seemed to ignore that and nodded expressionlessly. “Okay. You
Byron glanced at the little boys calmly.The little ones noticed something strange in their daddy’s gaze.Daddy looked at them a little differently.It even seemed to the little ones that Daddy did not want to look at them any longer. He had only glanced at them.“Mr. Byron?” Nox called out.Byron only nodded and said, “Miss Leigh Ann will accompany you.”Then, he held out his hand again at Estelle.The little boys were reluctant to part with him, but they could see he was angry.After a moment of hesitation, the little girl reached out her little hand and took hold of Byron’s hand.The two little ones could only remain silent and watched longingly as their daddy and sister left.“Brother, is Daddy angry with Mommy?” Nox looked at Lucian as he pouted his lips.There was no expression on Lucian’s face, but he seemed lost.It was the only thing he could think of.After all, Daddy had always been there when Mommy was ill.However, Mommy did not even bother to show concern wh
Byron greeted Wendy with a cold nod and took Estelle into the house.Behind them, Wendy looked at them, and a cunning thought flashed through her mind.As far as she knew, Rosalie and Byron had not seen each other since that night.Rosalie must have given up after understanding she could not be with Byron.Since that was the case, Wendy had to grasp the chance and make sure she would get to be Byron’s wife.Wendy did not care even if Byron’s attitude toward her was as cold as ever.Wendy followed them into the house.“Yes?”Byron had sent Estelle to her room and was walking down the stairs as he looked at Wendy strangely.Wendy froze and smiled. “Auntie Melody asked me to visit you and check on your condition.”Meanwhile, Byron had retracted his gaze from her. “I’m fine. Tell her not to worry.”Wendy wanted to say more, but Byron wanted her to leave. “You can leave if you have nothing else you want to say.”Wendy froze. “But…”She could not leave without doing
"I'm sorry, I just... I was thinking about other things, and I accidentally stumbled."Wendy pretended to be apologetic after Mrs. Zora assisted her to the sofa in the living room.Byron stood still behind the two and did not respond after he heard this.Wendy’s heart sank, and she added sheepishly. “Must have been just a tiny sprain. I’ll massage it, then go look for Auntie to tell her about your situation."She smiled at Byron as if trying to ease his worries. She thought this remark would be able to win his sympathy.Perhaps he would let her stay tonight.Unexpectedly, Byron just nodded flatly. Then, he suddenly squatted in front of her.Wendy could not react for a while.After a while, a piercing pain came from her ankle, and Wendy's face suddenly changed."Does it hurt?" Byron grabbed her injured ankle with one hand and asked.Wendy gritted her teeth and nodded.Byron let go. "This should be a bone injury."Wendy's eyes brightened at the man’s words. She tested the wat
Upstairs, Estie waited for quite a while. It was only when she was very hungry did she open the door and walk out. As soon as she got downstairs, she heard that Mean Auntie wanted to stay with them.In an instant, alarm bells rang in the little girl's heart, and she ran to her father's side as quickly as her little legs could carry her.‘Daddy and Auntie Rosalie haven't reconciled yet. If she knows that Mean Auntie is staying at our home, she’ll be even angrier!’Moreover, the little girl feared that Daddy would make Mean Auntie her mommy.The little one stared at her father with her big watery eyes, and her thoughts were self-evident.Byron met the little girl's eyes, stroked her head comfortingly, and turned to look up at Wendy in front of him.Wendy's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Byron’s answer might not be what she wanted."With your current situation, it's best to go to the hospital in time to deal with it. If it gets worse, I won't be able to explain it to my moth
The immense pain caused Violet to become delusional. Besides the heart-piercing howls, she suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.She bit her lip until her mouth were filled with blood. Her face was grim and distorted and her eyes bulged out of the sockets.She stared at Rosalie viciously and sneered in a sinister way. "Rosalie Jacobs, so what if I poisoned your mother to death? Who made her a b*tch, unwilling to divorce obediently, and kept taking money from Gordon. She isn’t that great! Hahaha...""......" Rosalie's blood boiled. The seventh silver needle appeared in her hand.At this time, Byron quickly walked to her side and grabbed her.‘If my wife is overtaken by her emotions and takes a step forward, she would be a murderer for sure.’He hugged Rosalie, not letting her go any further.Sophie saw her mother in such pain. She stared at Rosalie with red eyes and kept yelling. "Rosalie, how dare you treat my mother like this? I will kill you! I will definitely kill you..."
When Violet heard Rosalie's concrete words, her face was horrified, and her eyes darted quickly."Rosalie, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever done something like this? Don't try to slander me!" She nervously argued.As everyone knows, she had fallen into Rosalie’s verbal trap."You haven't done it? Didn't you ask Ethan to help you poison Mama? It's mercury. Just a little bit could affect my mother slowly. Just two or three times a month is enough. The long-term accumulation of toxins was enough to shorten my mother's life to a few years. Ethan was so young then and you are willing to use him. Aren’t you afraid that he would accidentally ingest it?"Rosalie's angry face and hateful eyes made Violet look away in fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Violet, you still insist on arguing until now. I really couldn't do anything about you a few days ago. However, I can come to you now, which means that I have enough evidence to prove that you used your good son Eth
The chainsaw roared, and the iron chain was severed in less than thirty seconds, followed by two iron doors which collapsed to the ground.Byron and Rosalie walked in through the iron gate.The frightened Sophie rushed downstairs first. When she saw the couple, she panicked and shouted. "What are you trying to do? Breaking into a private house is illegal. I'll call the police immediately!"With that, she took out her mobile phone and feigned intimidation.Rage shot to the top of Rosalie’s head. She rushed over, snatched Sophie's phone, and smashed it to pieces on the ground.How refreshing to be the bad guy.For the past twenty years or so, Rosalie had been a pro at being a good person. She always suffered losses from being kind.The best way to deal with shameless people was to be even more shameless than them. In this way, there was nothing the opponent could do.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds, but she could not stop Rosalie at all."Where is Violet? Get the hell out n
Mama’s last will intermittently recorded the last three years of her life.When Rosalie finished reading her mother’s last word, the dam had broken, and she burst into loud sobs.The heart-piercing grief lingered in her chest. She kept murmuring under her breath. "Mama, my Mama...hurts so much in her life. She was in so much pain!"She tearfully looked at her husband. At this moment, Rosalie was like a frightened little animal, her entire body trembling helplessly.Byron read the will with her. The typically calm and introverted Byron felt his eyes burning and tears streamed down his face.Immediately, a monstrous anger appeared on his face. He exuded a deadly aura all over. He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Honey, we must avenge Mama. Violet is not human. She is just a beast clad in human skin!"Rosalie cried bitterly while hugging Byron, inconsolable for a long time.Finally, Detective Carter read the contents of the will and remained silent for a long time.The con
[My dear daughter, my beloved Rosalie, I wonder how many years later will you see this written will? Ten years, or twenty years? Or you may not see it at all."[Darling, Mama loves you very much, I love you too much. So, it is you who gave Mama the courage to accept my fate at this moment. I know very well that my life is slipping away bit by bit, but I don’t feel afraid at all!][However, Mama don’t know why such bad luck happened to you. You were only three years old and just learned to run and jump around, and you’ve just learnt to pronounce the word Mama properly. Despite that, death is around the corner, knocking on my door. Mama feels reluctant, this is such a waste! Mama prays to God, I’m willing to accept anything as long as you live, even if it means falling into hell.][You were suffering from a congenital genetic disorder. I took you to many hospitals and finally found a solution. However, the treatment cost is as high as one million dollars. Mama can't afford this at all
Byron, who has always been calm in dealing with things, felt anxious this time.The car continued to accelerate. There was no time to lose. He needed to verify personally whether the heirloom left by his mother-in-law were really hidden in the frame of the wedding photo.Rosalie also looked solemn, and her heart was beating fast.Violet cared so much about Mama’s heirloom. She was still looking for it even when she could not find it after more than ten years, which shows that this heirloom was of great importance.Perhaps, there was enough evidence in it to prove that Violet harmed her mother.Rosalie truly wanted to know; how did Violet manage to poison her slowly? At that time, she had no contact with Mama at all!In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the Jacobs old house.Early in the morning, Detective Carter still led his bodyguards to search around, knocking on every wall, trying to find some hidden storage space.Upon seeing the eager faces of the young couple, Detect
That voice seemed to unveil Rosalie's dust-sealed memory like an old chest.An image from that year flashed across her mind in an instant.Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Mama and Aunt Lou were eating cakes, chatting and laughing over tea. As the sun set, Rosalie came from the kindergarten on the corner of the street, lugging her schoolbag as she rushed home, less than a hundred meters away.Then, she exclaimed. "Mama, I'm home!"At that time, Mama was so healthy. Her eyes were always joyful, and she was as beautiful as an angel.Aunt Lou was also very young at the time, she had just married and had no children. She liked to ask her Mama for advice on family life issues.How wonderful it would be if life could stay that way forever!Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Gordon.Rosalie’s thoughts were raging. It took a long time before Rosalie came back to her senses and told Aunt Lou that she had returned to Coast City, and everything was fine.Aunt Lou continued to
On the second day of the wedding, Mary woke up and habitually thought that it was her home. She was about to go out in her pajamas.Fortunately, Andrius carried her back to bed just as she pushed the door open.Mary woke up from her confusion and realized her new identity, the daughter-in-law of the Quirke family.The husband held her, but suddenly refused to let go. His hands began to wander naughtily.Mary was astonished. They were keeping each other up until late last night. It was only a few hours apart."Is there any custom ceremony that has not been completed? Does your family need us to greet the elders on the first day after marriage?" She suddenly became flustered, and she was short of breath.She wanted to quickly change the subject, so her man would not continue his passionate torment.It would be really embarrassing if they made any noise this early in the morning.Andrius shook his head, and moved his lips closer, wanting to attack.Mary resolutely covered his lip
In the Jacobs’ old family home, Detective Carter kept receiving calls from the bodyguards, and knew the movements of Violet's family like the palm of his hand."Sure enough, it was a bait and switch. On the surface, two cars set off; one came to us and the other was headed to the airport. In actual fact, they escaped from the basement in a taxi. However, they were indeed unable to escape."Detective Carter summarized his updates and reported to Byron and Rosalie.The detective was shocked. The bodyguards that Byron arranged for him had excellent professional skills and strong execution ability. These men were obviously carefully cultivated.Byron nodded calmly.He sighed secretly in his heart. Sophie reacted exactly the same way as Xander Lancer back then, she chose to escape by water.Indeed, travel transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rails have rigid, fixed schedules and are relatively easy to be discovered.Rosalie's mind was not present at all. As long as the hus
