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
"Mommy, why are you back so soon?"Lucian looked at his mommy with concern. "Shouldn't you stay in the hospital for another two days?"While he spoke, the little boy secretly glanced at Byron on the side, his little heart making a calculative analysis.‘If Mommy stays in the hospital for another two days, Daddy can also spend two more days with her!’Byron only noticed that the little boy seemed to be looking at him, but he was oblivious to the boy’s thoughts.Rosalie was a little helpless by the boy’s question. "Do you want me to be hospitalized so much?"The kids looked at each other.Lucian replied solemnly, "We’re worried about your health. You really should’ve stayed two more days in the hospital for observation."Hearing this, Rosalie's heart felt warm again. She looked at the little ones and pretended to be troubled. "But what should I do? I simply miss you too much!”"We can go to the hospital to see you!" Nox said childishly.Rosalie was amused by the little one and
Estie still held onto her and refused to let go.Rosalie helplessly explained to the little girl. "Your daddy and I haven't eaten yet. I'll come to accompany you after we eat something, okay?"Hearing this, Estie finally let go and stared at Rosalie eagerly.Rosalie smiled and touched the little girl's head. She then looked up at Byron who was still standing at the door. "President Lawrence, come in and have a seat. I'll make us something to eat."Byron's eyes darkened, and he quickly walked into the living room.It had been a long time since this woman took the initiative to invite him into her home. This long-lost warmth felt great.The relationship between the two adults had obviously eased after Rosalie’s discharge from the hospital. The three little ones were completely relieved and played together in the living room.Byron casually sat on the sofa, his eyes following the little ones around.In the kitchen, Rosalie prepared food in a leisurely manner.The atmosphere in th
Byron recalled the time he rushed to the research institute, and his eyes turned cold."You were poisoned and unconscious at the time, but Xander still refused to send you to the hospital. What do you think was his intention?"Hearing this, Rosalie gradually put away her thoughts, and the scales in her heart wavered.Byron asked in a cold voice, "Do you think traditional medicine could’ve saved you based on your condition at that time?"Rosalie shook her head without hesitation. "Although I was unconscious at the time, I knew how serious the situation was. It was urgent. Even if I wasn't the one who fell into a coma at the time, I might not be confident enough to take over the treatment."Byron looked at her deeply, motioning for her to continue talking.Rosalie said, "Traditional medicine has been passed down for many years. The biggest reason is the treatment of chronic diseases. As for my situation yesterday, the poisonous gas had already invaded the brain. The best method of
"It's just the normal procedure for acupuncture. If Young Master Xander wants to give me acupuncture, he can't do it through clothes, right?"After a while, Rosalie stabilized her thoughts and explained to Byron.Hearing this, Byron frowned slightly, and a look of displeasure flashed across his eyes.Now that he calmed down and thought, ‘If Xander Lancer really wanted to give Rosalie acupuncture, he really needed to take off her clothes.’‘Still, that scene was an eyesore!’Rosalie could not help but find it a little funny seeing him look a bit deflated."Even if we leave this matter aside, Xander's behavior is still very suspicious."Byron concluded in a blunt tone.This time, it was Rosalie's turn to be speechless.Although she was reluctant to believe that Xander would sabotage the project, from an objective point of view, Xander was indeed suspicious.Byron frowned and glanced at her, and said coldly, "I plan to start the investigation this afternoon, do you want to join
All of a sudden, Rosalie could not respond.Rosalie was surprised that Byron would even agree to let the little one stay. However, she did not expect that he would let herself decide."Auntie..."Now that Daddy had said so, Little Estie immediately turned her head towards Rosalie in a charmingly affectionate manner.Lucian and Nox also came over. "Mummy, let little sister stay!"Rosalie looked down at their expectant eyes, hesitated for a moment, but could not bear to refuse. "Alright, if Estie wants to, just stay."Once they heard this, the little kids' faces were full of joy, and they started cheering.Rosalie could not help but smile at the happiness on their little faces.Byron's face softened slightly, and he set his eyes on Rosalie.Sensing the man's gaze, Rosalie's heart felt inexplicably tense, and the expression on her face stiffened."Since you don’t mind, I’ll have to trouble you with Estie for these few days." Byron said in a deep voice.This was also what she pe
After a while, Yves felt Byron's cold eyes shifted away from him, and calmly breathed a sigh of relief.As Byron walked in, Yves consciously gave up his seat and stood aside.The two watched yesterday's surveillance together.It started from Rosalie and Xander's experiments.In the surveillance, Rosalie and Xander were talking and laughing all the time.Moreover, the two of them were almost together throughout the whole process, and even Yves was only one or two steps behind them, and the expression on his face did not match them at all.If that was Yves' expression while doing research and experiments, then the expressions on Xander and Rosalie’s faces have nothing to do with research!Byron always felt that Rosalie and Xander were too close.However, this was the first time that he saw with his own eyes how the two of them got along, and it was not merely just partners like what Rosalie said they were at all!The more he looked at the monitor, the colder Byron's face became,
Time seemed to stop as Yves waited for Byron's response. He only felt that the air in the monitoring room became more suffocating, and his heart became increasingly disturbed.He could not help but console himself. Although Byron did not speak, it just showed that he might not have noticed anything abnormal.‘As long as I don’t leave any traces in the surveillance, then Byron's biggest suspect can only be Xander Lancer!’Thinking of this, Yves inexplicably gained confidence, and the look on his face relaxed.After an unknown amount of time, Byron got up from his seat expressionlessly.Yves hurriedly said respectfully, "President Lawrence, where do you want to go next?"The surveillance footage was still playing at the back of Byron’s mind.When he heard Yves' question, he replied in a deep voice. "Go to the experimental area."Yves breathed a sigh of relief.‘Judging by Byron's expression, he must have noticed nothing.‘The surveillance stage is over.‘As for the experimenta
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
