Rosalie, who was paralyzed in fear, was trembling unconsciously as she instinctively burrowed into his arms.Noticing her trembling, his heart softened as he said gently, "Why come in if you're so scared?"Rosalie could not react for a while when she heard the familiar voice.Byron sighed helplessly. "Let’s get you out of here."Rosalie slowly recovered, only to feel that the voice in her ears was very familiar. The smell that lingered around her made her heart sink.‘Byron Lawrence? No, how could he be here…’Rosalie raised her eyes in suspense and met the man's genuinely concerned eyes.Looking at each other, Rosalie froze again. The panic she experienced earlier completely evaporated as she broke free from the man's arms with a blank expression.Byron was deeply aware of her resistance, and the soft emotions in his heart slowly faded away, allowing her to retreat from his arms."Why are you here?" Rosalie looked at the person in front of her with vigilance and estrangement.
It was funny how things had changed.Rosalie clearly remembered that six years ago, Byron swore that he would only want Wendy Fuller as his wife. He even treated her coldly because she occupied Wendy’s position.Six years later, this man could not wait to draw a line between himself and Wendy.She wondered how Wendy would feel after hearing his words.However, despite Byron’s explanation, the principal was indeed instructed by Wendy. Plus, she had already made up her mind to cut ties with Byron.If something like this could happen once, there would be a second time. She did not want her two boys to live under someone else's mercy.Thinking of this, Rosalie put away her thoughts and did not want to be involved with him over this issue anymore. She said calmly, "I've listened to your explanation. If there’s nothing else, I need to go now."After speaking, she turned around to leave.She did not want to stay in this godforsaken place any longer. Now that her rational mind had retu
Hearing Rosalie’s rhetorical question, he stared at her face for a long time but could not see a trace of pretense.Byron withdrew his gaze. He was shocked, and then there was an overwhelming revelation.Rosalie had always thought that Estie was Wendy Fuller's child!He always thought that it was this woman who abandoned Little Estie. Seeing how she did not recognize Estie even after returning home, he was certain that this woman was stone-hearted.However, it was obvious from what she said just now that Rosalie did not know that Estie was her biological daughter.‘What exactly is going on?‘Or… is the woman's acting skills so good that I can’t see through her?’There was confusion in Byron's heart.He gathered himself as fast as he could. He still held onto her slender wrist and asked with a sullen face, "When did I say that Estie is Wendy Fuller's child?"Her wrist hurt, but she was taken by his words. She was surprised.Little Estie was not Wendy Fuller's child!It was no
Seeing them leave, Byron followed along immediately.The exit was not difficult to find, but Rosalie was frightened out of her mind earlier so she got lost while running around. As she had calmed down now, they eventually found their way out of the haunted house. Rosalie felt disoriented from the dazzling sunlight hitting her face.Byron followed closely behind her, his eyes locked tightly on her.The two had different thoughts.Sensing the strange atmosphere between the two, Mary took Rosalie aside and whispered in her ear, "What's the matter? What is he asking you to do?"Rosalie came back to her senses and subconsciously glanced at the man inches away, only to see that the man's eyebrows were tightly furrowed with anxiety and worry.She thought of what Byron had said in the haunted house just now.He did not seem like he was lying.Thinking of this, Rosalie could not help but worry about Little Estie.Even before when she thought that Estie was Byron and Wendy's child,
Rosalie looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the little girl curled up in the corner with her knees tucked in. Her eyes were empty, like a delicate doll without a soul.Thinking of the little girl's sweet smile every time she saw her, Rosalie’s heartbreak felt physical. She could not breathe.This morning, the little girl was still holding her skirt with bright eyes, but now, her gaze had become like this...Rosalie walked into the room carefully, squatted down in front of the little girl, and softly called out her name, "Estie, Aunt’s here."Little Estie did not respond at all.Seeing the little girl like this, Rosalie could not make a sound for a while.Lucas reminded in a low voice behind her. "Miss Jacobs, Estie has now closed her heart and isolated herself completely from the outside world. You have to communicate with her more so that you can bring her out of this. Be patient."Hearing this, Rosalie tried hard to calm down. She nodded silently and started talkin
Rosalie stayed with Estie for almost the entire day.However, the little girl never responded.As the skies turned dark, Rosalie knew it was time to leave even though she could not bear to part with the little girl."I’ll come to see you tomorrow. You have to hang in there, alright?" Before leaving, Rosalie hugged Little Estie hard.The two little boys also stood in line to hug her.The three were about to leave, but Rosalie felt a tug on her skirt.She was stunned for a moment and looked back in disbelief, only to see that Estie’s little hands were gripping her skirt. Even so, her eyes were still looking into the distance with no focus.Byron and Lucas saw what happened inside the room and looked at each other, stunned.They thought Estie had completely closed herself off and stopped responding to the outside world.They did not expect that she could feel Rosalie Jacobs' existence. She even moved to show that she did not want the woman to leave.Rosalie was so distressed tha
Byron’s stern and icy tone made Wendy's heart tighten. The little hope she had just now disappeared.She wanted to get dressed up to meet him, but Byron said to meet in half an hour. Wendy just grabbed her purse and went out in a hurry.Her house was a long way from the restaurant. Her driver was going at lightning speed for her to arrive on time.When Wendy entered, Byron was already waiting for her at the seat by the window.Hearing movement at the door, the man raised his eyes and looked over. His expression was colder than the night outside the window."Byron, what's the matter?" Wendy felt inexplicably guilty and carefully sat down opposite him while clutching her purse.Byron stared at her for a few seconds. The atmosphere around him was terrifyingly silent.Wendy clenched her fingers nervously and forced a calm smile on her face."You sent Estie to school this morning." After a long while, he spoke sternly and coldly.Wendy nodded quickly. "Mrs. Lawrence asked me to help,
Rosalie asked the two little guys to take care of the little girl while she went to prepare dinner for them.She wrote down all the dietary precautions that Byron told her earlier and cooked based on Estie's needs.When the meal was ready, Rosalie asked Lucian and Nox to bring Estie down.Soon, three little ones appeared at the entrance of the stairs. The two little boys held the little girl's hands, one on each side. The boys accommodated her pace and slowly walked downstairs. They looked like two little princes and a little princess from a fairy tale.Rosalie saw the three kids holding hands, and there was a touch of warmth in her eyes. Then, she thought about Estie’s current situation and felt distressed once more.When they got to the dining table, Lucian and Nox were kind and generous to let their little sister sit next to Mommy while they sat beside Estie.Rosalie patted the heads of the two boys with relief, sat down beside Estie, and carefully fed her.Maybe the cooking
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
