Lawrence Corporation, President's Office.Andrius sat across from Byron with a teasing face."I heard that the medicinal materials from Heronial Corporation's overseas branch have been transported back to Coast City."Byron nodded noncommittally.Andrius laughed. "At that time I suggested that you help, but you kept saying that you wouldn't help. What happened?"He thought his buddy was absolutely ruthless and ignored Rosalie.In the end, Byron still stepped in.After that, Andrius became concerned about the relationship between the two of them again. "How is it? Now that you became her knight in shining armor for this, how did Dr. Jacobs react?” He should have kept his mouth shut, but now that the words left him, his best friend’s face sank immediately.For a long while, Andrius got no answer, then only he realized he may have said the wrong thing.Judging by Byron's appearance, the relationship between the two had not improved. On the contrary, it was worse than before.
Byron's expression froze slightly at this question.‘How does she feel about him?’This question never occurred to him.According to what the woman had always said, she only regards him as a stranger who has nothing to do with each other.But, in Byron's eyes, Rosalie's attitude was never just that.In other words, due to his pursuits that the little woman kept contact with him against her will.Byron could not help but feel a burst of irony.He thought that she would be somewhat moved by his gestures.However, according to Rosalie’s reaction during this time, he was afraid that what he did before only made things harder for her.Perhaps, she might even have hoped that he would leave her alone!Andrius looked at Byron as the latter’s face became gloomier, and his heart sank for his friend.After a while, Andrius carefully expressed his conjecture. "Dr. Jacobs may have really given up on you."He thought about it in many ways, but he did not think there was a problem with hi
Andrius saw through his buddy’s thoughts and wanted to persuade him again, but the man had already issued an eviction order."I have a meeting in a while. If there's anything else, let's talk about it another day."Hearing this, Andrius had to get up and leave sheepishly.After Andrius came out of the office, he was full of remorse when he recalled his analysis just now.‘If I knew that the gap between these two people was so deep, I would have reworded what I said!’‘It's better now, not only is Rosalie unresponsive, but Byron also decides to give up on his pursuit as well.’‘The two adults can do whatever they want. I just pity Estie. The Auntie she likes so much happens to be her biological mother.’The little girl must have always thought that Rosalie would become her mother.Unexpectedly, her Daddy would give up like this.With all these twists and turns, no child can stand it... Anything he could think of would have crossed Byron’s mind as well.At noon that day, Byro
Estie’s tears never stopped back at the Lawrence Manor."Daddy, don't transfer schools..." The little girl pitifully tugged at the hem of her Daddy's clothes; her little face was full of tears.Mrs. Zora was shocked when she saw the two enter the door. "Master, what's happened?"Estie cried and looked at Mrs. Zora, hoping she could help her. "Grandma Zora, Estie don't want to transfer school..."‘Transfer school?’Mrs. Zora was confused.If she remembered correctly, the kindergarten that the little lady currently attends was invested in by the Lawrence Corporation.‘Why the need to transfer?’‘Moreover, the little lady’s condition is not suitable for transferring schools.’Out of concern for Estie, Mrs. Zora asked cautiously. "Master, what happened? Why did you suddenly want to transfer Little Lady to another school? She has finally become familiar with the environment. If she transfers rashly, I'm afraid......"Byron frowned deeply and looked at the little girl in his arms
In the kindergarten, two little boys surrounded Miss Leigh Ann."Teacher, where did little sister go?"Miss Leigh Ann did not know either, but she comforted the little ones. "Estie asked for day of leave. As for the reason, I’m not sure either.”The boys pursued further with their question. "Will we see little sister tomorrow?"Miss Leigh Ann hesitated for a moment, then smiled and affirmed them as she saw how anxious they were. "Yes."Hearing this, the little boys felt relieved.However, when school was about to end, suddenly, Miss Leigh Ann received a call from the principal.As soon as she reached the principal’s office, he pushed a document in front of her."All that is left is your signature." With that said, the director handed over a pen.Miss Leigh Ann took the pen in puzzlement and lowered her eyes to look at the document.When she saw the document content, her eyes were full of puzzlement. "Estie wants to transfer? Why? Is there something wrong with our kindergarten
Miss Leigh Ann knew nothing about their family, but Lucian and Nox did.Daddy wanted to transfer Estelle to another school because he was quarreling with Mommy!Therefore, Daddy would not let Estelle play with them.The little ones lowered their heads, and their eyes shifted when they realized this.They were always adorable and behaved much better in class than their peers.Miss Leigh Ann had seen all the children in the class cry except these two.She felt a little empathy looking at the two little ones’ expressions.“It doesn’t matter. You and Estie are close friends. I’m sure you can still see and play with her.”Miss Leigh Ann crouched down and said softly, “Besides, Estie certainly doesn’t want to see you cry.”The little ones were still upset but did not want to cause their teacher any trouble.Lucian nodded obediently at Miss Leigh Ann and held Nox, who was still sad. “Teacher, let’s go in!”Seeing the little ones suppressing their urge to cry, Miss Leigh Ann felt re
They had told her that Estelle had suddenly taken half a day off at noon when they returned the day before. Rosalie did not think much about it. She thought it was because Byron had something urgent to deal with.However, a day passed, and it turned out that the little girl was transferring schools.Rosalie embraced herself and asked the two little ones, “Did Estie cry?”Before, when Lucian and Nox got expelled from school, the little girl cried.She must be sad now, knowing she would be transferred to another school.Nox shook her head, “We didn’t see Estie. The teacher told us.”They did not know if Estie had cried.After hearing their mother’s question, the little ones realized their little sister must be just as sad as they were.They were both so sad. Estelle must be crying a lot.Realizing this, the little ones looked up and anxiously tugged at Rosalie’s clothes.“Mommy, let’s go and visit Estie! She must be sad now!”Rosalie had always wanted to visit the little gir
“Why can’t we be with Estie all the time?”Nox could not control his curiosity and doubt.If only Daddy and Mommy could get back together, they would not have to split up!Hearing such a straightforward question, Rosalie was a little flustered. “Because…”The little ones stared at her eagerly, waiting for her answer.After a while, Rosalie told them a cruel reason. “Mr. Byron will get married, and Estie will have a new family. She’ll be close to her new mommy.”The little ones pouted their lips unhappily when they heard Rosalie’s answer.Their mommy did not know they knew who their daddy was.Hence, they could not understand why their daddy could not marry their mommy.Rosalie had no idea what the little ones were thinking and explained.“Mr. Byron must have considered all these. Maybe he wants to give Estie a better education environment. After all, Estie deserves a better education with her family background.”As she spoke, Rosalie diverted her eyes off the little ones’ fa
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
