They lowered their heads and bore the humiliation as they headed out of the residential area.Suddenly, a car screeched and pulled over before them.Then, they heard a loud slamming sound.They lifted their heads warily and saw Andrius rushing to them angrily.“What have you done? What a mess!”Andrius saw their pathetic state and glared at the people gossiping around them.The crowd was shocked by his stare and quickly left as if nothing had happened.Andrius’s forehead puckered, and he looked at his sister and Wendy in a puzzle. “Did you go and provoke Dr. Jacobs?”Since Andrius saw Andrea with Wendy in the hospital, he had been worried they might cause trouble and asked someone to watch after them.Andrea had been visiting Wendy frequently these days, yet Andrius did not see them doing anything. Hence, he just turned a blind eye to them.However, this afternoon, Andrius’ men told him Andrea followed Wendy to Rosalie’s house.Andrius’ heart raced when he received the news.
Andrius drove the two ladies to the hospital, registered Wendy’s name, and left after asking someone to take care of Wendy.Andrius felt he might get pissed off if he stayed with his sister longer.“Follow Andrea closely and tell me if she’s up to anything unusual.”Before leaving, Andrius ordered his men.Naturally, his men agreed without hesitation.Andrius glanced at the ward, sighed, and strode out of the hospital.Sitting in the car, Andrius hesitated if he should visit Rosalie to see if she was fine.After all, looking at his sister’s and Wendy’s condition, they seemed to have fought. He wondered if Rosalie was injured since his sister and Wendy were.However, Andrius gave up that thought after pondering for a while. He chose to call Byron instead.If Rosalie was hurt, the man who should appear around her at a time like this should be Byron!Byron answered the call as soon as it went through. “What’s wrong?”Andrius wanted to tell Byron, but he did not know how to tell
Rosalie’s villa.The three little ones sat on the sofa sadly, staring longingly at Rosalie’s bedroom on the second floor.“Mommy must be very angry.”Nox’s voice also sounded annoyed. “It’s those two mean ladies’ fault. I’ll never let them off if they come looking for Mommy again!”Lucian frowned. “You’re right! We have to protect Mommy!”Estelle looked at her two brothers worriedly. “Mommy has just recovered from her illness, but they came looking for trouble. The doctor said Mommy should not experience strong emotional fluctuation.”The little girl was concerned.Lucian and Nox did not feel strange upon hearing Estelle address Rosalie as ‘Mommy’ as though it was supposed to be like that.However, Estelle’s words worried them.Their mommy had shut herself in her room after teaching those two mean ladies a lesson. They feared something might happen to mommy, just like Estelle had stated.With that in mind, Nox got up from the sofa. “I’ll go up and take a look!”Lucian and Es
Rosalie was shocked to see Byron, and tears shimmered in her eyes uncontrollably.“Rosalie, open the door!”Byron rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered. He frowned and shouted.Rosalie bit her lip, took her phone, and called Byron.Downstairs, Byron stopped knocking at the door at once and answered with a frown. “Where are you? Is no one at home?”Rosalie held back her tears and tried to make herself sound calm. “I want to be alone. Please leave.”“You’re at home, aren’t you?”Byron reacted immediately and said, “I’m not going back. Open the door and let’s talk!”Rosalie’s tears flowed down her cheeks silently.Without another word, she hung up the phone and did not stand at the window again. Instead, she sat down on the edge of the bed in a dilemma.Looking at the dark phone screen, Byron’s forehead puckered. He stopped pressing the doorbell and knocked on the door. As he knocked, he shouted Rosalie’s name.“Rosalie! Open the door! Let’s talk! I’m not going
The children’s naïve question made Byron’s heart sink.Mistress.That was a harsh word to use.However, Wendy called Rosalie that mostly because of him.Realizing that broke Byron’s heart. Then, he blamed himself for it.The little boy did not get the answer he wanted and anxiously shouted, “Mommy isn’t a mistress!”Byron snapped out of his thought and touched the little one’s head with a heavy heart. “Well, how can your mommy be a mistress? She’s...”Byron stopped there and did not continue.The little ones did not ask.Getting the answer that mommy was not a mistress was already a relief to them.Byron stood up in front of them. “I’ll go up and have a look. You guys wait here obediently.”The kids nodded and watched as Byron headed upstairs.Byron walked all the way to Rosalie’s bedroom door. He knocked on the door but received no response.“Rosalie, it’s me. Open the door. I want to talk to you.”It was the first time Byron had called Rosalie that gently when she was a
“Rosalie.”He felt a joy like never before surge through him when he saw Rosalie walking out of the room.After what he said, he thought she knew exactly what it meant to open the door.Rosalie was still in a messy state of mind. She looked at him and sounded tired. “Didn’t you say you want to talk to me? You can talk now.”She did not receive any response from Byron after she said that.Byron looked affectionately at her. After staring for a long time, he touched her eyes.Rosalie subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling the man’s rough fingers on her eyelids.“Did you cry?”The joy at the bottom of Byron’s heart was replaced by remorse, and his voice was no longer calm.Rosalie’s eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes gradually and looked away awkwardly. “I was just too tired and thought of the past. I couldn’t help myself…”She suddenly fell into a warm embrace.Rosalie was stunned for a moment. When she realized Byron was hugging her, she struggled. “What are you doing?
After complaining, Nox snickered.Lucian and Estelle also snickered.They were so worried about Mommy that they wanted to come up and see her.However, they did not expect to see Daddy hugging Mommy when they got upstairs.The little ones stopped and peeped around the corner.The kids were dumbfounded when they saw that their mommy seemed to want to respond to their daddy’s hug. They looked at them with expectation and did not notice their mommy looking at them, catching them red-handed.Although they were caught peeping, the little ones’ mood was better than all the days before this!From how Mommy and Daddy hugged, it seemed they had not only cleared the misunderstanding between them. The kids realized they seemed to have gotten back together, and they were not far from becoming a family. “Let go of me…”Rosalie’s face flushed red when she noticed that the kids were watching them. She sounded guilty when she spoke.Byron slowly released his grip but still had one arm aroun
The little ones cheered silently upon hearing Rosalie’s answer. Then, they looked at Byron longingly.Byron smiled. “That’s a pity. I’ll take you guys to the restaurant next time.”The kids cheered this time.Rosalie could not figure out her current mood. She felt warm and said nothing more as she headed downstairs to prepare the dishes.Byron followed her downstairs with the three little ones.In the living room, the siblings gathered around Byron, looking at him with hope.“Mr. Byron, when are you going to be our daddy?”Nox stared longingly at Byron.Byron touched the little ones’ heads and answered, “Soon. Don’t worry. I’ll never let anyone else be your daddy.”Nox cheered quietly.Estelle continued righteously. “Daddy, don’t go back on your word this time!”Before, her daddy had promised her Rosalie would be her mommy. However, he had been on bad terms with Rosalie and even asked that mean lady to take care of her.The little girl was afraid her daddy would do the same
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
