“Come down and have dinner.”Rosalie sighed silently and called the little ones to have their meal.The little ones obediently came down the stairs and said, “Mommy, we’re sorry.”Before Rosalie could say anything, Nox added. “However, I don’t think we did anything wrong. That mean lady was scolding you, and we wanted to protect you.”The little ones were mad to see Wendy insult their mommy, and they happened to have a basin for watering the plants by their side. Hence, they poured it on Wendy.If that wicked woman had dared to scold Mommy again, they would not have hesitated to do it another time.It did not matter to them even if their mommy was mad.The little ones’ words melted her heart, yet she still put on a stern look. “I know your intention, but leave such things to me in the future. Don’t do anything like this anymore!”“Mommy...” Nox reluctantly tried to argue.Rosalie frowned. “You think you’re protecting me, but at the same time, you’ve put yourself in a dangerous
Talking about their research only brightened Rosalie’s mood.This morning, the first phase of the research had completed successfully after the effort they put in for so long.Starting tomorrow, they would enter a more challenging phase and conquer it.Rosalie was filled with expectations as she thought of the result brought by the research.Rosalie was happy to have Xander helping them out. “Young Master Xander, I’m honored to have you on the team. Of course, I won’t mind.”Xander chuckled and said, “That’s good. It’s getting late, and I won’t disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow.”Rosalie smiled and agreed.Rosalie’s mood gradually calmed down as she thought about the new research tomorrow, and she slept peacefully.After Rosalie sent the little ones to kindergarten the following day, she went to the research institute.She thought she had arrived early enough. However, Xander arrived earlier than her.When she arrived, Xander and Yves were discussing something and looked
Yves looked at the tacit cooperation between the two, and the fire of jealousy burned in him.The pre-experiment lasted three days.At the end of the experiment, Rosalie and the two men carefully tested the finished product’s performance, determined the basic feasibility, and gradually increased the dosage.With the increase in the dose of medicinal materials, the physical ability required by the experiment also gradually increased.The medicinal material could not be added in one go because of the delicacy of the experiment. It could only be kept next to the experimental table and added successively.At the same time, the medicinal materials were difficult to get, and they had to be careful during the experiment.“I’ll do it.”Xander looked at the beads of sweat on Rosalie’s forehead and spoke.He reached out his hand to take the medicine from her.Rosalie dodged carefully, afraid she might pour it when she rejected Xander.She trusted herself more in a delicate job like thi
A sudden silence fell between them, and neither spoke again.Yves was looking at the experiment, but he was absent-minded.He must not let Xander and Rosalie get together, so he had to think of a way to disrupt it.Suddenly, Xander’s phone rang.Xander looked at the caller ID and smiled apologetically. “Sorry, my grandpa called. I think he wants to ask us about the progress of the experiment.”Rosalie nodded.Then, Xander walked out of the lab with his phone.Rosalie wanted to help, but Yves rejected it. “Take a rest there. It’s showing some reaction, and I’ll only have to observe it.”Once it started reacting, there was nothing they needed to do. The only thing they needed to do was to observe and prevent any incident from happening.Rosalie stopped insisting and sat back in her seat. She could not stop recalling what Xander had done to her.She did not know what Xander was thinking and felt she had to keep a distance from Xander after what had happened just now.Meanwhile,
“How are you feeling?”Xander asked Rosalie with concern when they were in the open air.He was close to the liquid, but he reacted quickly and did not get affected much.Rosalie felt her world spinning, yet she forced herself to look at the lab’s entrance. “Have… you evacuated everyone?”The gas was highly toxic, and it would spread quickly.Rosalie was afraid the poisonous gas might affect the other researchers.Xander was moved to see Rosalie caring about others when her condition was the worse. “Dr. Graham has evacuated everyone.”With that, he grabbed Rosalie’s wrist and diagnosed her.Rosalie subconsciously wanted to pull back her wrist, but she did not even have the strength to lift it.“There’s something wrong with that reaction.”Xander diagnosed Rosalie’s health as he explained the situation to Rosalie. “Our experiment wouldn’t produce such a toxic gas even if it failed.”Rosalie knew that, but she had no energy to discuss that with him.After a while, Yves ran ou
Meanwhile, Byron was at Lawrence Corporation.Byron was in the conference room, holding the weekly meeting.The senior officials watched Byron, who sat before them, in horror.They were not sure why, but they could sense Byron seemed in a bad mood.The atmosphere was scary and stressful in the conference room.They could only try to be as careful as they could when reporting the weekly data, afraid they might say something wrong and spike Byron’s anger.Those department heads whose performance was subpar did not dare to lift their heads.While everyone was in a tense situation, someone knocked on the conference room door.The senior executive, who was reporting, stopped talking immediately and looked toward the conference room door with the others.They saw Luther standing outside, embarrassed, with a phone in his hand.Luther smiled apologetically and looked at Byron as he hesitated to say, “Sir, your phone…”Byron, who was already in a bad mood, wanted to scold Luther beca
Xander had carried Rosalie back into her office in the research institute.Although there was a lot of space in the corridor, concerned staff would inevitably visit from time to time.He needed a quiet environment to cure Rosalie.At the same time, Yves, who was sending the message earlier, turned around and noticed that Xander and Rosalie were gone.“Where’s Dr. Jacobs?”Yves panicked and asked one of the researchers.The researcher was startled and pointed at Rosalie’s office. “Young Master Xander seemed to have taken Dr. Jacobs there.”Yves was displeased to hear that and nodded at the person. “Thank you.”He strode toward the office without waiting for the man to respond.He was not paying attention and allowed them to be alone again!Luckily, he was pretty confident about what he had done.Xander would not be able to cure Rosalie easily.It was pointless if Xander wanted to use this chance to curry Rosalie’s favor.As Yves pondered, he slowed down his footsteps.When
“Young Master Xander, maybe we should send Dr. Jacobs to the hospital!"After Yves got the acupuncture tools, he stalled for time. He held the medicine box and refused to give it to Xander.Xander became anxious and reached out to take it, but Yves dodged him.Yves persuaded him earnestly. "Dr. Jacobs' current situation is critical, and you also said that you can only give it a try. But I don't think that with Dr. Jacobs' current situation, there’s any chance of trial and error.”He pretended to be concerned. "Besides, you were very close to the bottle at that time, and you must have inhaled some of it too. I don't believe you don't feel anything now."Hearing this, Xander frowned fiercely.He was indeed a little dizzy now, but he did not think it would affect his treatment of Rosalie.Yves carried on, "Even if there’s nothing wrong with you, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to cure Dr. Jacobs. What more if you’re not feeling well now? I’ve already contacted the hospital
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
