When Rosalie’s mind drifted away, Byron said something to the little ones, and they bid farewell to her.“Mommy, now that you’re okay, we’ll go back home first. You should have a good rest. We’ll wait for you at home.”Nox was smiling.Rosalie was puzzled when she saw the smile on the little one’s face.The little ones had always wanted to be with her 24 hours a day. This time, instead of being with her, they took the initiative to say goodbye.Nox asked in his cute voice, “Mommy, why don’t you let Estie come with us? She’ll be scared alone!”Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts and subconsciously looked at Byron. She hesitated before nodding. “You guys take care of her, then.”Yesterday, the little ones were terrified. Estelle was always insecure and really needed to be with Lucian and Nox.The children nodded vigorously. “We’ll go back home, then!”With that, they waved to Rosalie and ran to the ward door.Turning around, the little ones had smiles on their faces.Andrius h
“I’ve called several experts to examine you, and they’ll be here in a minute.”Byron suppressed his emotions and said calmly.Several experts hurried over as soon as he told Rosalie about it.They were scared to see Rosalie sitting on the bed. “Miss Jacobs, please lie down. There’s still poison in your body. We have to examine your body and prescribe medication for you.”Rosalie knew her body well enough. “It’s okay. I’ve cleared the remaining poison in my body.”The experts frowned in disbelief. “That’s impossible.”They saw how severe Rosalie’s symptoms were yesterday and could not believe Rosalie had slept it off.Rosalie smiled and said nothing.Unconvinced, the experts examined Rosalie’s body.After checking, they were dumbfounded. “What…”Rosalie was almost recovered, and the poison in her body was nearly gone.“I gave myself acupuncture in the morning and cleared the toxins. I can feel that the toxins are almost gone, but I don’t know if the rest of my body will be af
“Was Young Master Xander here yesterday?”Rosalie could not help herself from asking.When she asked, she saw Byron’s expression change, and he seemed displeased.Rosalie was startled and did not know what she had said that angered him.She saw Xander’s missed calls and recalled the night she went unconscious when she was with Xander.Xander was also there when the poisonous gas struck her.Rosalie could not help but worry about Xander’s condition now.“Is Young Master Xander so important to you? Why do you only care about the kids and Xander when you recover?”Byron looked at her gravely as he spoke, moving closer to the bed.Rosalie was puzzled by his sudden anger. She frowned and explained, “I just saw that he had called me several times, and I was poisoned—”Byron interrupted her before she could finish speaking, “He was with you when you were unconscious.”Rosalie did not think much. Recalling the scene at the time, she nodded.She doubted if Byron’s words meant more t
Rosalie was speechless.Indeed, the three of them were in charge of the project.She would not hurt herself. The only two suspects left were Xander and Yves.However, out of the two men, one was the project leader while the other was her longtime partner.Rosalie did not want to suspect them.Byron’s anger grew when he saw Rosalie insisting. “If I remember correctly, Xander was also involved in the fire in your research institute the last time!”Rosalie looked into Byron’s eyes in a puzzle and did not know why he said so.“Young Master Xander delivered the medicine and left. What does that have to do with him?”She did not want to quarrel with Byron and kept her voice calm. “You know better than anyone how we got that batch of medicine. Do you think Young Master Xander would do something that would cause himself so much trouble?”After saying that, Rosalie looked at Byron and felt a little helpless. She sighed. “Byron, calm down. We must speak based on evidence and not judge t
Rosalie was starting to doubt Xander. However, she felt Byron’s words sounded strange.If Byron said that out of his suspicion for Xander, then what about when he asked how long she had known Xander…?Rosalie drooped her eyes and pondered for a few minutes. Something struck her, and she was surprised.Before this, Byron would always get mad at her because of her close relationship with Xander.It was the same this time.He seemed to be angry only because she was defending Xander.She wondered if Byron was… jealous?Realizing what he was thinking, Rosalie finally knew why he was always angry. Feeling guilty, she glanced at Byron and retracted her gaze.It seemed weird to think Byron was jealous.Byron could never be jealous.The thought sprouted in her mind, and she did not dare to look into Byron’s eyes anymore.Her voice sounded less confident when she spoke, “I don’t know much about Young Master Xander. I think he’s innocent because it’s his family’s project.”Byron, who
Yves was happy to hear Rosalie’s concern, yet he sounded worried about her.“It doesn’t matter if I’m a little tired as long as you get better. I was worried about… Never mind. Why did you call?”Rosalie felt terrible when she said, “I think I’ll have to trouble you more.”Yves had been because she was unconscious.This time, she had to trouble Yves to give Byron access to the research institute just because they wanted to investigate.Rosalie felt bad troubling him.Yves was in the research institute, dealing with the surveillance footage. He was erasing the evidence.Rosalie’s words made Yves stop what he was doing. Then, he spoke calmly, “What’s the matter? I’ll do it if I can.”Rosalie smiled gratefully and said, “President Lawrence and I wanted to investigate the matter yesterday. We might need access to many places in the research institute. We might have to trouble you to grant him authorization.”Yves felt his heart hammering, and he was panicked.It was okay if Rosal
Rosalie looked at the man beside her in astonishment.Byron's words shook her even more than when he told her that he wanted to pursue her.Meeting her gaze, Byron's face revealed a bit of awkwardness, but he quickly brushed it off."If you think this is more appropriate, then do as you say."After a while, Byron said nonchalantly, "You’re a doctor yourself, and you should know your own body well. Those experts also said that the residual toxins in your body are almost gone, and you can be discharged from the hospital."He changed the topic a little too abruptly.Rosalie felt that his expression looked funny, and she followed along. "Then, please help me with the discharge procedures, President Lawrence. We’ll start the investigation soon."Byron agreed flatly, turned around, and went to arrange the discharge procedures.He was still a little uneasy as he came out of the ward. Byron went to get confirmation from the experts that Rosalie could indeed be discharged from the hospi
The rain gradually stopped as the two reached the parking lot.The custom-made suit that Byron used to shield them from the rain was already wet, and his arms holding up the suit were also soaked through.Rosalie stood by the side of the car and watched him open the door. He casually threw the suit on the back seat. She hesitated for a moment, then finally opened the front passenger door and sat inside.Soon, Byron also sat inside. He started the car slowly and drove toward her house."I wonder what they are doing now."Rosalie found a topic amidst the awkward silence in the car.Byron raised his eyes and looked at her face reflected in the rearview mirror. "Luther will take good care of them. If you’re worried, you can call him and ask."Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. "It’s okay. I believe that Luther will take good care of them too."Speaking of the little ones, Rosalie could not help thinking of how they left without hesitation this morning.‘I don't know what ran thro
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
