"Estie, come out, grandma will take you back."Melody turned to look at Estie who was hiding behind Rosalie.The little girl tightly grasped Rosalie's clothes with one hand and shrank back behind Rosalie after hearing this.‘I just saw Auntie and I don’t want to go back so soon.’‘Also, Grandma is scary too.’‘I just don’t want to go to the new kindergarten, and Grandma wants to beat me up, just like that Mean Auntie.’Estie was filled with fear thinking of Melody's expression that day.Melody knew that the little one was afraid of herself and apologized softly to her. "Grandma came to apologize to you. I frightened you that day, and it will never happen again. Our Estie is Grandma's little princess.”With that, Melody reached out to grab Estie’s little hand on Rosalie's clothes.It was a sore sight for Melody when her granddaughter relied on this woman so much!Seeing grandma's actions, the two little boys rushed to their mommy, protecting little sister tightly behind them.
After Melody's words, Rosalie could not help feeling aggrieved for Estie."Just because Estie is a child of the Lawrence family, she will be treated like this, and she can't even make friends with whom she likes?"Melody sneered. "If you meant the two children of yours, then of course she can’t."Lucian and Nox's faces showed an imperceptible sense of disappointment.‘So Grandma really hates us?’‘Even the little sister is not allowed to be friends with us.’Rosalie was also displeased. "Mrs. Lawrence, I don't think there is any need to involve the children in the grievances between us." ‘The two little boys had very little contact with Melody.’‘Melody's hostility towards them could only come from myself.’Thinking of this, Rosalie looked at the little ones apologetically.Although the boys do not know their true identity, they were hated by their grandma because of her.For a moment, Rosalie even wanted to reveal the two little boy’s true identity to Melody, so that she w
Several times Rosalie wanted to speak up, but was held back by Melody's words before, and now that Byron was present, she could only keep silent.Lucian and Nox were filled with anxiety."Grandma Melody, don’t say anymore, little sister is crying terribly!" Nox felt that he was about to cry as well.Lucian pursed his lips, walked quietly between his brother and little sister, and held their little hands.Byron stood opposite the four of them expressionlessly, only half a step behind Melody.He witnessed the two little boys defend Estie to the end, yet Rosalie did not say a word.The man's brows furrowed again."Even if you don't want grandma, why don't you go back with Daddy?" Melody thought she had made a concession.Just as she finished speaking, she heard his son's cold voice."You don’t interfere with this, I will take Estie back."Hearing this, Melody closed her mouth in displeasure, glanced coldly at Rosalie, who stood opposite her; then at her own son, and turned around
Although he guessed what the little boy wanted to say.However, Rosalie and Byron were still moved by whatever the boy said.Rosalie looked down at the little boy, and silently looked at the man in front of him.If possible, she also hoped that Estie could stay for a while.At the very least, until her emotions were stable.However, she knew that she was in no position to say so.Byron was silent for a few seconds, then turned his head to meet Rosalie's gaze.When their eyes met, Rosalie pinched her palm and forced herself to shift her gaze away calmly."What do you think, Miss Jacobs?" Byron asked.Rosalie said against her will, "Estie is your child, so naturally, I have no right to comment on her. However, I hope you will respect her wishes, President Lawrence." The implication was that she will not take the initiative to keep her.Byron nodded clearly and looked down at Estie. "Then go back with Daddy." The little girl’s tears had stopped for a while. When she heard he
"Auntie Rosalie is very busy, don't cause trouble for Auntie."Byron leaned over and grabbed Estie's other hand.The little girl has no strength left to cry. Byron just carried her into his arms, and she let go of Rosalie's hand.Rosalie subconsciously clenched her fingers, but as she thought of what Byron said just now, she let go in frustration.Little Estie was quickly embraced by Byron.With Estie in his arms, Byron patted the little girl on the back reassuringly, turned around and left.Suddenly, a childlike voice spoke from behind."Daddy!"Byron's footsteps stopped suddenly.Rosalie's expression also changed, and she looked down at the little boy beside her.Nox yelled out loud. He was not sure if he was anxious, or because he yelled too hard, his little face was flushed.The little boy regretted it as soon as he did.He was really anxious just now, and he did not know how to stop Daddy.Although he did not dare to look up at his mommy, he could still feel her surpr
Rosalie did not expect the man to agree so easily and was a little dazed for a moment.It was not until Byron bent over to put the little girl on the ground, and she ran towards herself in tears, that she finally came back to her senses."Sob sniff...Auntie" The little girl hugged Rosalie's thigh.Rosalie touched the little girl's head as her heart ached and looked up at the man in front of her.Byron nodded to her indifferently, glanced at the three little kids inexplicably, then turned and got into the car.After watching Byron's car go away, Rosalie brought the little ones into the living room."You take care of little sister first; Mommy is going to make a phone call." Rosalie said to the two little boys.Lucian and Nox nodded quickly, and moved to Estie's side, trying to console her.Rosalie walked quickly to the corner and dialed Xander's phone number.The other end quickly picked up. "Miss Jacobs, what's the matter?"Rosalie was apologetic. "Sorry, I might need to take
Estelle seemed anxious when Rosalie said that. She sobbed as she shook her head.Rosalie wiped the little one’s tears away and said softly, “Even if it’s true, don’t cry.”Lucian and Nox approached Estelle and wiped her tears away too.When Mommy told them that she liked Estelle, the two little boys felt the same. “So do we. We like you, Estie, no matter what our relationship is.”The little one gradually stopped crying, but she was still sad. “Estie can’t see Lucian and Nox if Estie transfers to another school.”Nox promised in his cute voice, “We’ll still play with you even if you transfer to another kindergarten. Even if Mr. Byron forbids us to look for you, we’ll still come meet you secretly!”Rosalie heard what the little ones were saying. However, deep down in her heart, she swore she would not let the little ones meet each other ever again.However, Estelle seemed to feel better now, so she felt like this was not the right time to tell them. She remained silent.The thre
“I’m sorry. Mommy is sorry.”Rosalie’s gaze lowered, and she apologized to the little boy.Nox knew he had successfully dismissed Rosalie’s suspicions, and he secretly felt relieved.Seeing his mother apologizing to him, he gradually let down his guard.“It’s not Mommy’s fault!” Nox tugged Rosalie’s sleeve.Rosalie forced a smile, but she still felt sorry for her sons deep down inside her.Nox tilted his head and took the opportunity to tell Rosalie what he thought.“Mommy, why don’t you make Mr. Byron our Daddy if you feel sorry for us? Lucian and I like Mr. Byron very much!”Rosalie was shocked.This was the first time she was hearing the little boy tell her what they thought of Mr. Byron.She wondered, ‘Is it because they’re related by blood that the little ones like Byron that much?’For a moment, Rosalie considered telling the little ones the truth.However, she thought about her relationship with Byron now…If Byron knew that the two little boys were his kids, he mig
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
