“Let’s go for a walk.”Byron kept his phone and suggested.Rosalie thought he did not like the environment in the pizza restaurant and agreed without thinking much.After paying for the food, Byron took over Rosalie’s suitcase naturally and walked out of the restaurant.It was afternoon, and the sun should have been shining bright, but because the town was in the mountains and the greenery was good, the sunlight was just nice. The temperature was just right as well as they walked.Although Rosalie was eager to go and help Xander, she still enjoyed the environment in the town.“Do you like it here?”Byron’s gaze was gentler when he saw the smile on Rosalie’s face.Rosalie nodded as she recalled. “When I went abroad, I often visited various mountains with my professor to look for herbs. I’ve been in the laboratory since I returned. I miss such an environment but haven’t had a chance to go out.”Byron felt mixed feelings in him. He was in a dilemma.He felt that Rosalie had suff
“We can travel more often if you like places like this.”On the way to the lake, Byron said, “I haven’t rested much these few years. We can take a trip to relax for a bit.”Rosalie’s hand was in his. She looked at his profile and felt sadness surging through her.For six years, they had no idea about each other’s life.Although she was tired, her life was enjoyable.However, Byron’s life did not sound well.“We can take the kids here in a couple of days. I don’t think they’ve ever been to the mountains.”Byron stopped and looked back at her.They arrived at the lake.Perhaps the lake before them looked clear because it was in the mountains. The weeping willows on the lake looked relaxing.Rosalie looked around them. “Lucian and Nox might want to go on a trip. I’ve also been busy at work and haven’t taken them anywhere far. Estie…”She did not know much about Estelle, but she could guess Estelle’s life. “Estie had speech issues and didn’t like strangers and unfamiliar places.
It was nearly six o'clock when Luther arrived in his car.Byron asked him to stay and wait for the car to be repaired, while he and Rosalie took the car driven by Luther and continued toward Hino.It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Hino.Byron dropped Rosalie off at the hotel that Xander had booked for the doctors."Sorry for taking you so long."After taking Rosalie's suitcase out of the car, Byron felt apologetic as he looked at the darkened sky.Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. "It's not your fault. No one thought that there would be an accident on the road. I also want to thank you for sending me here through the night."She believed that if it was not because she did not want to delay tomorrow's free clinic, Byron could have waited until the car was repaired tomorrow before going on the road.The reason why he had Luther bring the car over was that he did not want to disappoint her."It's getting late. I'll go in first. Let me know when you
Byron frowned. "What else can I do? I don't know anything about free clinics. You should know something, right?"Andrius pinched his forehead.‘My buddy can't be planning to go to the nursing home to help tomorrow, right?’He sighed internally and persuaded his buddy. "According to you, my sister-in-law is in the same hotel as Xander now. Aren't you worried at all? Xander might have ulterior motives for her..."Byron's brows furrowed tighter.Looking up at Rosalie's room upstairs, the lights were already on.Byron became restless over his buddy’s words, so he opened the door and got out of the car.Andrius kept nagging in his ear.Byron has already entered the hotel and booked the room next to Rosalie.…It was almost ten o'clock when Rosalie entered the room.She hesitated as she passed by Xander's room, but in the end, she did not bother him and went back to her room.After a tiring day, the first thing she did upon entering the room was to take a shower.After her shower
Byron was about to take a shower and rest when he suddenly heard a knock on the door beside.Immediately afterward, Xander's voice sounded."Miss Jacobs, are you inside?"Xander heard someone talking in the corridor just now, and the voice sounded very close to him. He guessed that Rosalie might have arrived and came out to greet her.Rosalie had just finished taking a shower. She did not open the door as she was already in her nightgown. She just responded in the room. "I just arrived. I thought you were sleeping, so I didn't tell you."Xander nodded, and then asked with concern, "Have you had dinner? If not, let's go grab some food. We can also discuss a little about the elderly too."Hearing this, Byron's expression darkened slightly.According to the woman’s habit, as long as the sick elderly were involved, Byron did not think she would refuse.Rosalie really wanted to talk to Xander face-to-face.However, it was really inconvenient with her current appearance. Even her ha
"What are we eating?"Since the man heard her stomach growling just now, Rosalie acted calmly after she came out.Byron's deep eyes looked away from her. "Let's go downstairs first. I haven't been here for a long time. I don't know if it’s still open."While talking, the two walked toward the elevator entrance.The elevator door opened slowly, and the two entered the elevator one after the other.At the same time, Xander's room door opened a crack from the inside.From his room, he happened to see the backs of the two walking into the elevator.Xander's expression darkened abruptly as he saw Rosalie’s outfit and the man with her.‘Byron Lawrence!‘Rosalie must have come to Hino with him!‘She just rejected my invitation to have dinner together, but she’s now going out with Byron to have supper!’ Xander felt irked by this!‘So, the relationship between these two is really as rumored. They’ve become closer because of Estie!‘If this is the case, then the possibility of me w
"I just think you don’t have enough layers on.” The two walked forward, Rosalie remembered Byron’s misunderstanding just now and explained, "You’re only wearing a T-shirt. Aren't you cold?"Byron turned his head to look at the little woman whose upper body was tightly wrapped in his coat. He reached out and grabbed her hand hanging by her side. "It won't be cold if you get closer."Rosalie was led by him, and the two walked side by side, looking very close.Byron led her into a small alley.From the outside, the alley was pitch-black with no lights at all.Rosalie looked at him puzzled. "The place you mentioned is here?"Byron nodded. "It must’ve closed. Let's go to another place. What do you want to eat?"Rosalie was indeed hungry. Hearing this question, many options popped up in her mind.After thinking for a long time, she finally decided. "Let's have crayfish. I haven't eaten it for a long time. I'm craving for it."Then, she suddenly thought of something and looked at
"Sorry, I really didn't see it just now."Rosalie did not want to cause trouble, so she stood up and apologized, and moved the chair back.Several large and thick set drunks saw her face, their eyes lit up, and they narrowed their eyes as they scanned up and down her figure.Sensing their gaze, Rosalie frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.There was a sudden movement by my ear.Rosalie subconsciously turned her head to take a look, afraid that Byron wanted to fight them impulsively.The man just took a step in front of her and protected her behind him.His tall figure almost covered her whole body."The place here is relatively narrow, and bumps are normal, but brother, since you felt that it is our responsibility, then we will not shirk it. Which table are you at? Tell the boss later and put it on our tab."Byron’s deep voice spoke, looking at the big men in front of him with a cold expression.Hearing this, Rosalie secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Byr
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
