Byron turned and went upstairs after sending Melody away.Something was not right with Estie's mood when they came back, so he had to go up and check on her.Upstairs, Mrs. Zora was accompanying the little girl.Seeing Byron come up, Mrs. Zora respectfully withdrew from Estie's bedroom."How is Estie?" Byron stood still at the bedroom door and asked with concern.Mrs. Zora lowered her voice. "Little Lady behaved well. She seems to be deep in thought, she didn’t cry or make trouble."Hearing this, Byron nodded and walked into the bedroom.As Mrs. Zora said, the little girl was deep in thought and did not even notice when he went in.Byron walked all the way to her, then stopped, raised his hand, and rubbed her hair, "What are you thinking, darling?"Estie was stressed out on how to help Daddy calm down and win Auntie back.The little girl was startled when she suddenly heard Daddy's voice. She was a little flustered when she looked up at him. "Da...Daddy."Byron sat down next
Byron came out of Estie’s bedroom and went straight into the study.He wanted to deal with some work, but his mother's words kept echoing in his ears, which made him really restless.Moreover, Estie really lacked a mother by her side.If Wendy was really as his mother described, she can change her attitude toward Estie and get the little one to accept her.Byron would not mind allowing her by his side either.Byron tossed and turned for a while, then finally took out his mobile phone and found Wendy's number.On the other end, Wendy had just finished a phone call with Melody, and was happily waiting for Byron to contact her.Alas, within ten minutes, Byron's phone call came in.Wendy was overjoyed, but she tried her best to keep her cool, and then answered the phone."Hey Byron, why did you think of calling me?"She tried her best to suppress the joy in her voice to make herself sound calmer.On the other side, Byron did not notice anything strange about her at all, and said
Mrs. Zora left the door open when she went downstairs. As soon as Wendy went upstairs, she saw the man in the study room."Byron, I'm here."Wendy knocked on the door cautiously, and walked in.In the study room, Byron had heard her footsteps a long time ago. When he heard her speak, he turned around and looked over.Wendy had already adjusted her expression, there was no harshness on her face, only a shallow smile.Byron frowned subtly as he faced her smiling face.Although he had decided to accept this woman. But when he saw her, Byron always felt that something was wrong.Wendy did not wait long for his response, yet dared not enter his home office without authorization, so she could only cautiously urge him. "You called me to come over. Anything?" Only then did Byron come back to his senses. He forced himself to suppress the thoughts in his heart. "Come in, have a seat."Wendy pursed her lips and smiled, walked in and sat down on the sofa in the center of the room.With
Byron looked at her in silence for a long time.His expression gradually eased after he heard that she went to a psychiatrist, specifically for what happened last time.When he spoke again, his tone softened tremendously. "You have a heart."Wendy was ecstatic when she heard the change in his tone. "It's what I should do. I shouldn’t have done that to Estie, no wonder she didn't like me. It's all my fault, Byron, just blame me!"Byron was unmoved, his tone did not even fluctuate. "Then do you want to make it up to her?"Wendy naturally agreed without hesitation. "I've always wanted to apologize to Estie properly, but I never had the chance."Hearing this, Byron nodded slightly, "In this case, during this time, try to get along well with her. Estie will be at home during this time, and I’ll be busy with work. You can come and see her when you have time." This implied that the little girl will be under her care.Wendy pinched her palm secretly to prove that she was not dreaming.
From the study room, Wendy went straight to Estie's bedroom while trying to adjust the expression on her face.Before that, she wished that this little b*tch would disappear.Though, now, she was still in the evaluation period after all. She can only rise to the top by pleasing this little sl*t!In this case, she does not mind carrying on the act for a while longer.‘She's just a child, as long as I pay more attention, she will eventually be hooked!’Thinking of this, Wendy knocked on Estie's bedroom door with a gentle smile.In the bedroom, the little girl thought it was her daddy or Mrs. Zora. She trotted over with short legs and opened the door."Hello Estie, long time no see."Wendy put on what she considered a warm smile and knelt to greet the little girl.The little girl could not help but recall those horrible memories from the past as she saw the person at her door.Estie looked around. There was no one in the corridor.In the past, this Mean Auntie always bullied he
Estie kept shaking her head, helplessness written all over her little face.Just when she did not know what else to do, the sound of her father's steady footsteps was heard.The little girl's eyes lit up and relied on her small stature as she slipped away from Wendy and hugged her Daddy's thigh.Byron looked down at the little koala next to his leg, then remembered Wendy’s apology that he had just heard."If you want Estie to forgive you, it doesn't happen overnight. There's no need to use such extreme methods." The man looked at Wendy who was still squatting on the ground.Hearing this, Wendy smiled bitterly, and said in a low tone, "Sorry, I'm impatient again, I'm really..." Before she could finish, his deep voice interrupted. "It's getting late, let's go down and have dinner together."Wendy's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked in Byron's direction in disbelief.Byron had already turned around and led Estie downstairs.Looking at their backs, Wendy took a while to re
"Don’t want!"Estie was livid when she saw her Daddy singing the same tune as Mean Auntie. She slammed her cutlery on the table, hopped off her chair and ran upstairs.Wendy was filled with anger when the little girl threw a tantrum, but she still had to pretend."Estie!" She quickly put down her fork and tried to chase after her.As soon as she got up, Byron stopped her. "Let her be." Wendy pretended to be embarrassed. "But, Estie is..."Byron was unmoved. "Good to let her calm down alone. I spoiled her by being responsive to her before."On the way back earlier, he also reflected on the little girl breaking Xander's tires.Although deep inside, he can understand the little girl's approach.However, he always stood on the premise that her daughter was unwell.Now the little girl’s conditions had gradually improved, the way she expressed her emotions should be corrected in a timely manner.The current matter about Rosalie Jacobs was an opportunity to do so.Wendy's heart r
Wendy was discontented when she saw her mother’s satisfied expression.“Now that Byron has given up on that b*tch, the position of Mrs. Lawrence must be mine. I want that position and to win Byron’s heart too!”She wanted Byron to treat her like how he did six years ago.Magdalene nodded her head, approving of Wendy’s determination.She did not care about anything else and just wanted Byron to marry Wendy.Wendy was displeased when she noticed her mother did not seem to care about her thoughts. However, she then thought of Estelle.What she said to Byron was just a fabrication for sympathy. She had no experience in getting along with children.Her mother, who brought her up, would have more experience in that.With a smile, Wendy sat on the sofa with her mother.“Mom, can I ask you something?”Magdalene was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”Wendy looked troubled as she asked, “How do I get along with a kid? As you know, Estie has the final say. Byron won’t continue the engagement if
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
