The little ones knew that if Estelle did go to her new school, she would not be happy.However, seeing Rosalie was about to cry, the little ones decided to stop the conversation.“Okay, Mommy.”Rosalie forced a smile. “Come on. Let’s have dinner and sleep early.”The little ones agreed obediently.Everyone was absent-minded at the dining table during dinner.After filling their tummy, they went back to their rooms.Rosalie lay in bed looking at the conch Estelle gave her with complicated feelings.Yesterday, she was still listening to Lucian and Nox talking about playing with Estelle.However, now Byron was transferring Estelle to a new kindergarten.She did not even have to think about it to imagine how much the little girl would cry when she knew about this.However, she was in no position to comfort the little one.She did not even dare to ask.Rosalie felt heartbroken at the thought of Estelle’s face drenched with tears....Lucian and Nox lay on the same bed in the
Lisa went to wake the little ones up for school the following day.Her heart melted when she opened the door and saw the little ones huddling in one bed.Before she could speak, the little ones woke up on their own.However, they did not seem to be in good condition.“Nanny Lisa, I have a headache…”They slept late last night, and they had been sobbing for some time. Their voices were hoarse, and their faces were pale.Hearing the little ones’ words, Lisa was worried. She quickly checked on the little ones’ foreheads. They did not seem like they were going to have a fever.“Wait here. I’ll go and get your mother.”Then, Lisa went to look for Rosalie.Rosalie was busy with her research project and was already preparing to leave the house to work.When she heard that the little ones were not feeling well, she put down her bag and hurried upstairs into the little ones’ room.“Nanny Lisa said you weren’t feeling well. What’s wrong?”Nox pounced into Rosalie’s embrace. “Mommy, I
When the little ones slipped out of the villa successfully, the first thing they did was hail a taxi by the roadside.The driver saw the two kids and was a little worried about giving them a ride.However, when the driver heard where the two little ones were heading and looked at the neighborhood they had come out of, he started his car engine.He thought he would make plenty of money on this trip since the two little ones’ parents were wealthy.The little boys had no idea what the driver was thinking. They were wondering what their daddy would say when he saw them.After a while, the car pulled over at Lawrence Manor.The driver looked longingly at the door, waiting for the people inside to come out and give him money.Lucian, however, had already taken out a hundred bucks from his backpack and handed it over, “Keep the change.”The meter showed 60 bucks, but the boy was so anxious about Estie that he did not want change.The driver froze and wanted to say it was too little.
Lucian frowned. “Do you know where Mr. Byron went with Estie?”Mrs. Zora hesitated for a while. In the end, she gave in and said, “Maybe Master took her back to the Lawrence family’s mansion.”Last night, she seemed to hear Byron speaking on the phone with Mrs. Lawrence.She might have asked Master to send Little Lady to her place, and he seemed to have agreed.The two little ones looked disappointed.Lucian asked tentatively, “Where is the Lawrence family’s mansion? Can you tell us?”Mrs. Zora knew they wanted to look for Estelle there from their question.It was so far from their place.She did not know how the two little ones got from their home to here, but Mrs. Zora would not let them go to the Lawrence family’s mansion alone.“I know, but I can’t tell you.”Then, Mrs. Zora beckoned the bodyguards to release the little ones. She said, “You must have come secretly without Miss Jacobs permission. Go back home quickly. She’ll be worried if she notices you’re gone.”The lit
The thugs were shocked when they heard the woman’s request, and they looked at the stack of money in their hands.“Are you sure it’s two kids?”They suspected Wendy was tricking them, and she might be hiding the fact that the two people they were about to beat up were experts in martial arts.Unexpectedly, the woman in front of them frowned impatiently. “Can you do it or not? If you can’t, then forget it!”The thugs immediately agreed and pointed in the direction Wendy told them. “They’re over there, right? We’ll go at once!”Then, they strode to where Lucian and Nox were in.Looking at the thugs leaving and thinking about the pain those two kids were about to suffer, Wendy was pleased.Meanwhile, the two little ones had no idea what kind of trouble they were about to face.Nox said gloomily, “Lucian, are we not going to see Estelle anymore?”Estelle was now in the Lawrence family’s mansion, and they did not know where it was.Even with Nox’s hacking skills, he would not know
A roar came from the group of guys.“Damn it! The little brat even dares to fight back!” The guy covered his eyes in pain and looked at Lucian, who was angrily throwing stones at his eyes.The few other guys remained on guard.Unexpectedly, they had seen through the trick of the two little ones, yet the little ones still dared to fight back.The two little ones grabbed the stones on the ground and threw them at those guys.The guys instinctively dodged when they saw stones flying toward them. They were afraid they would hit their eyes.Soon, there were gaps between where the guys were standing. Quickly, Lucian stuffed a few stones in Nox’s hand. Then, they escaped through the gap.Behind them, the boys realized they had escaped and chased after them.Lucian threw stones at those guys as they ran to slow down those guys.The two little ones ran as hard as they could to get to the crowd.Finally, they arrived at the square. The young thugs did not dare to chase after them a
After a while, the little ones strolled down the stairs.The little ones feared their mommy would notice their injuries and changed into long-sleeved pajamas.Rosalie was already sitting at the table. She watched the little ones approaching her when suddenly she noticed that something seemed wrong.After staring at Nox for a long time, Rosalie frowned and asked, “Nox, what happened to your hand?”The little one’s palm had a visible scratch wound.Hearing his Mommy’s question, Nox froze and looked at his palm when he saw Rosalie looking at it.Noticing the injury, Nox subconsciously looked at Lucian.Lucian frowned.Nox must have gotten a scratch on his palm when the guys threw them on the ground.However, he never expected Nox’s injury to be in such a visible area.Rosalie soon realized something was wrong. “Lisa said you slept all day. Did you sneak out?”She knew her little ones better than anyone.Besides that possibility, Rosalie could not think why the two boys would s
“Mommy...”The little ones anxiously lay on Rosalie’s knee. “We’re fine. Don’t worry.”Rosalie held the little ones’ hands and looked at the wounds on their arms. Her expression was gloomy.“I know you want to see Estie, and I won’t blame you for it. However, why would you lie to me about your injuries?”She could see that it had been more than a fall.Besides, there was no way two little ones would fall together like that.The boys saw that their mommy was about to cry.Nox looked at his brother guiltily and muttered, “We met a few big guys on the road. They chased after us.”Then, he quickly explained, “Thanks to Lucian, who protected me, we managed to escape and ran back safely.”Since Nox had confessed, Lucian took responsibility for the whole matter. “Mommy, it’s my fault. I insisted on taking Nox out.”Rosalie looked at them. “Why did they want to chase you? Were they after your money?”Lucian wanted to explain, but Nox blurted out everything, “No. Lucian offered to gi
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
