“Let’s go inside and listen to what Mommy is talking to Uncle Xander about.”After finding Estelle, Lucian called Nox.The little ones, of course, all readily agreed.The three of them cautiously opened the door.When they entered the house, they saw Rosalie sitting on a single sofa and talking to Xander. They both had smiles on their faces.The little ones were alarmed at the bright smile on their Mommy’s face.Estelle reacted unexpectedly and approached Rosalie.“Estie?”Only then did Rosalie notice that the little ones had come back.Xander observed Rosalie and Estelle. Then, he pretended to say it out unintentionally, “You two look even more alike when I look closer.”For some reason, Rosalie was flustered.Estelle looked up at her innocently. “Auntie, what’s alike?”Rosalie stroked the little girl’s hair, feeling guilty as she looked at Xander. “Nothing. Uncle Xander was just joking.”Then, she got up and tried to hint at Xander to leave. “Do you have anything else yo
Rosalie could only brush her off by saying, “Yes.”A smile appeared on Estelle’s face, but she still found the bouquet annoying.Lucian and Nox did not like the bouquet either. They carried it away and put it in a corner. “It’s taking up so much space. We’ll put it here first!”Rosalie knew what the little ones were thinking and could not say much about it.As they were talking, the doorbell rang again.Lucian and Nox instantly got nervous and instinctively protected Estelle, moving her behind their backs.It was Xander the last time, so Byron must have rang the bell this time.The little ones had not had time to play hide and seek with Estelle yet.Rosalie had the same guess in mind for the guest at the door.Although she was reluctant to let Estelle leave, she still opened the door.When Rosalie opened the door, she was puzzled to see Xander again. “Young Master Xander? Why are you back? Is there anything else you want to say?”Xander chuckled helplessly. “I may have to st
For a moment, Rosalie’s mind was a mess.However, she still spoke up for the kids even with Xander doubting them.“Young Master, you must be overthinking. The kids are still young and wouldn’t do something like that. Also, I don’t think they even have the strength to do it.”“I was just guessing. As I said, I don’t want to be malicious toward the children. I'd be happy to know that they didn’t do it.”Rosalie plastered a smile on her face.After Xander left, Rosalie walked back into the villa with a complex expression.The three little ones were standing around, discussing Rosalie and Xanders relationship and how to make Xander stay away from her.The little ones immediately stopped whispering when Rosalie got back.On her way back, Xander’s words had lingered in her mind, and her gaze on the little ones was mixed with many different emotions.After closing the door, Rosalie sat beside the little ones.“Mommy.”“Auntie.”The little ones approached her at once.Rosalie did
“Mommy, it’s our fault. We didn’t keep an eye on Estie.”Lucian and Nox had already guessed the truth when Rosalie questioned them.Now that Estelle had admitted it, the two little ones still wanted to help her and take the blame.Rosalie felt helpless when she saw the little ones protecting each other.At any other time, she would have been glad to see the little ones displaying their love for each other.However, this was not the right time to take the blame for others.After a long moment of silence, Rosalie suppressed the surging emotions within her and carried Estelle up to her lap.“Tell Auntie the truth. Did you do this alone, or did Lucian and Nox participate too?”The little one had just heard Rosalie say she disliked kids who lied, so she did not dare to lie anymore.Besides, she did not want to get Lucian and Nox involved.“It’s... I did it…” Estelle sobbed.Rosalie nodded and wiped away Estelle’s tears. “Why do you want to do this?”Estelle felt like continuing
When the little ones heard Rosalie was about to punish them, they stood nervously in one row.Rosalie looked at them sternly. After a long time, she pointed at the wall and said, “Go and stand facing the wall. Reflect on your mistakes for 15 minutes.”Lucian and Nox might be sensible boys, but Rosalie had punished them quite a few times.Upon hearing this, they quickly walked to the wall and stood facing it.However, Estelle ambled.Rosalie thought Estelle had not realized her mistake and was anxious. “I’ll add extra time to your punishment if you walk so slowly.”Estelle mustered her courage and turned around. She looked at Rosalie.Rosalie had no idea why Estelle was looking at her like that and thought she had given Estelle a heavy punishment. She began to reflect on her punishment method.Estelle looked at Rosalie cautiously and asked, “Auntie, will you still like me if I accept the punishment?”Rosalie’s heart melted. “I’ll still like you like always if you realize your m
At noon, the doorbell rang when Rosalie had prepared lunch.Rosalie and the little ones felt nothing when the doorbell rang because they had experienced false alarms twice this morning.They knew it was likely Byron at the door.Rosalie set the table for the kids and got the door.As expected, Byron stood at the door.Seeing her open the door, the man nodded coldly and said, “Where’s Estie? I came to take her back.”Then, he looked up into the living room.The three little ones knew it was Daddy, and they all held their breath, listening to the door.When Daddy asked about Estelle, the little boys looked at Estelle.Estelle puffed out her cheeks and met their eyes reluctantly.The plan was that she would go home with her Daddy obediently, and then she would be responsible for persuading him, while Lucian and Nox would be responsible for persuading their mommy.That way, Daddy and Auntie could get back together.However, Estelle was reluctant to leave.When Estelle hesitate
Byron’s gaze was uncomfortable and oppressive.Even though Rosalie tried to ignore it, she still felt uncomfortable.Rosalie felt relieved when she heard what Byron told Estelle and stopped eating.“Let’s go upstairs and talk, then.”Then, she told the little ones. “Finish up your food and play with Estie, okay?”The two little ones nodded.Rosalie got up and beckoned Byron to follow her. Then, she headed upstairs with Byron.The two stood on the balcony of the villa’s second floor.Rosalie pondered and did not know how to convey what had happened.Even if Estelle had admitted her mistake, Rosalie still could not believe Estelle would do such a thing when she recalled the matter.Not to mention Byron, who treasured Estelle so much.If she told him frankly, Byron might take it as she was trying to accuse Estelle.Meanwhile, Byron looked at Rosalie displeased. She remained silent and said nothing, which annoyed him. “Miss Jacobs, what do you want to say to me?”Rosalie snapp
Although Rosalie did not put things clearly, Byron had guessed what she wanted to say.Estelle must have done something Rosalie did not like.Rosalie was now asking him for an explanation.She sensed the change in the man’s mood.She could feel the tense atmosphere between them.Instinctively, Rosalie stepped back and kept some distance between Byron and her.Byron was dissatisfied with Rosalie’s evaluation of Estelle’s personality and attitude. He questioned her back and took a step closer.Seeing the distance between them getting closer, Rosalie clenched her hand into a fist and calmed herself down before continuing.“I think Estie is a little paranoid. I wonder if she can’t express her emotions accurately because of her speech issues.”Byron froze.Estelle was a little paranoid.Byron had felt that, but he never had deep thoughts about that matter.Estelle would be stubborn and refuse to listen to anyone when it was about Rosalie.The obvious symptom was her illness get
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
