Upon hearing this, Rosalie's heart sank. She immediately defended herself. "Let me be clear, I have nothing to do with this! I’ve always felt that children are innocent. Furthermore, Lucian and Nox adore Estie so much. I’ll never do anything to hurt her."After all, she had not reconciled with Byron. Now that Little Estie was found to be badly beaten while under her care, she had become the main suspect.Moreover, she did have some alone time with Estie.She would not be able to explain if Byron suspected her of this.For a while, Rosalie felt uneasy.Byron was in deep contemplation when he heard her defense. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Rosalie. "I wasn’t suspecting you at all, and I can probably guess who did this."Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried about Estie. "Who did it?"Byron’s inner storm was slowly brewing as he traced his thoughts on the matter.Last night, his parents took Estie away from the manor involuntarily. Although h
She could twist and sugarcoat her words all she wanted, but the man in front of her would remain indifferent.His grip on her neck did not lose any strength.Wendy almost exhausted all her strength and struggled to barely breathe, but she still refused to admit what she had done.Now that Byron was already treating her so cruelly when he was just suspicious of her, what would he do to her if she admitted it?Wendy's face turned blue and purple, and her chest heaved from breathing difficulties. Luther came up to Byron for fear that his boss might end someone’s life. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "Sir, please let her go now. If you go further, she’ll die!"Byron still had no intentions of letting go.Wendy had no doubt that the person in front of her would just strangle her to death.In the end, Luther bravely stepped forward to intervene and pry his master's hand off Wendy’s neck.Wendy was already worn out. As soon as the hand on her neck was released, she collapsed
Rosalie agreed and went upstairs with Byron.There was only one night light on in the room, and Estie had already fallen asleep. Rosalie was mindful of her movements because she did not want to wake her up.Byron stood outside the door with his hands in his pockets. His eyes slowly moved from Estie to the arrangement of the room.He saw that Rosalie's room was extraordinarily tidy and clean. There were also a few plush toys, likely left there by the two little boys. It made the room look warm and homely.After watching for a while, the lingering anger from earlier slowly disappeared, leaving only warmth in his heart."Okay, all good now," whispered Rosalie after she applied the medicine onto Estie’s bruise. The woman carefully observed and saw that the little girl was still sound asleep, so she got up with confidence.As soon as she turned around, she met the man's scrutinizing eyes.Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.Byron gathered himself and nodded lightly. "T
When they reached the kindergarten, Miss Leigh Ann saw them appearing at the same time. She was happy and a little embarrassed. "Miss Jacobs—"Although it was Wendy’s idea to expel the two boys, the teacher still felt somewhat embarrassed and wanted to apologize to her.Rosalie interrupted her with a smile, "Lucian and Nox are going to have to trouble you again." The teacher nodded quickly. "It's my job. Besides, the boys are sweet, so it’s no trouble at all."Rosalie nodded. "Also, Estie has been in a bad mood these two days. She’s become less responsive to others. I hope you’ll take note of that and please take care of her."She did not bluntly speak about Estie's meltdown.After all, she did not know if the little girl was listening to their conversation. If she was, she may feel hurt.Miss Leigh Ann nodded in agreement.Lucian and Nox held their little sister’s hands and assured Mommy, "We’ll take good care of Estie, and we’ll never let anybody bully her!"Rosalie smiled
Rosalie also felt the same way in the morning. Her heart softened from what Nox said, and she responded with a smile, "Maybe. Thank you for taking care of her. I’m more at ease.” Nox swore and patted his little chest as his childlike voice assured, "Don't worry, Mommy. Brother, and I will continue to take care of her!"Rosalie burst out laughing.Hearing the little guy's assurance and Rosalie's light laughter, Byron could not help but glance through the rearview mirror. Their affectionate interaction brought warmth to his heart.‘I have to say that this woman taught these two little boys very well. Compared to children of the same age, the two of them behave like adults.’When they reached Rosalie’s place, Byron planned to leave immediately after. After all, he saw that Rosalie was taking good care of Estie. Even her two children treated Estelle like their own sister. There was no need for him to stay and make them uncomfortable.Rosalie got the kids out of the car and took one
Lucian and Nox were quite stunned by Estie’s sobbing, and they did not know if they should coax her or not.After all, it seemed that the little girl was crying because Mommy was injured. That could also be regarded as a reaction to the outside world. For them, it was great news.However, seeing Estie's tearful face, the boys felt very distressed. They turned their heads, wanting to get Mommy. However, they saw Mommy's face grimacing in pain as she ran cold water on her burn wounds.Due to this dilemma, Lucian and Nox kept mum. Their eyes kept wandering back and forth between Mommy and their little sister.After a while, Byron felt that Rosalie’s burns had gotten enough cold water. He then grabbed her arm and pulled her hand out from under the water.Rosalie looked down at the wound. Although it was still red, the pain was no longer intense."Why? Does it still hurt?" Byron noticed her small gestures and asked with a frown. There was a hint of concern in his eyes.Rosalie was st
Rosalie brought the little girl to the living room sofa to take a seat. The boys very quickly brought the medical kit over for their mommy. Sitting at the side, the three children watched eagerly as Rosalie applied medicine on herself.Rosalie took the medical kit and thanked the two boys. She fished out the ointment and was going to apply the medicine on herself.She had injured her right hand. Hence, it was very inconvenient for her to move her left hand.“Mommy, let me help you!” Lucian reached out thoughtfully, wanting to help his mommy. Rosalie was certain that it would be rather inconvenient for herself and nodded. Just as she was about to pass the medicine to Lucian, a big hand suddenly reached out from the side and took the medicine away.Both of them looked up simultaneously.“Let me.” Byron was frowning slightly as he crouched down in front of Rosalie.Lucian pursed his lips before pushing Nox as they moved to the side together to let Byron sit next to their mommy.A
Rosalie's heart was full of warmth at the little one’s response. Her eyes were red, but there was a smile on her face.Seeing both of their appearances, warmth also surged in Byron’s eyes. After calming down, he said in a deep voice, "Let’s eat first."Rosalie then let go of the child in her arms. She blinked and forced her tears back before agreeing with a smile. "Yes, let’s eat first."Saying that, she recalled the mess at the kitchen door and was going to clean it.Seeing through her intention, Byron stopped her in a deep voice. "I’ve already asked Mrs. Zora to come over. She’ll stay and take care of you all these two days. Sit down and eat first."Rosalie stopped, then turned back to thank the man. "Thank you."Due to Estie, she had not treated Byron too courteously. However, she accepted these small favors more frankly.Byron nodded.Rosalie turned to look at the children. "Let's go. You guys are probably already hungry. Let’s eat while the food is still hot."They were i
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
