Hearing her question again, Yves Weatherby put away his smile and said sternly, "I'm already trying to solve this problem."Rosalie Jacobs frowned and looked at him, waiting for the following sentence."Recently, I contacted a medicinal material supplier, and we have already discussed long-term cooperation. All that’s left is to sign the contract. The appointment to sign the contract has also been agreed upon which will be tomorrow afternoon.“The reason why it has not been smooth before is that the research institute has been in the early construction stage. Many complicated and trivial matters need to be dealt with, plus the manpower was unstable. It was only during this period that all things finally went on the right track.“In addition, the medicinal materials in Coast City are monopolized by the large medicinal materials merchants, which resulted in a shortage of supply. Moreover, we are newcomers to the industry, hence these merchants maliciously raise prices. As a result, w
Byron’s brows were slightly furrowed and there was irritation in his gaze.Had his eyes deceived him again?Once or twice, he could let it slide but it had been two consecutive days of him seeing that silhouette at two different places.It was just that…that silhouette had only flashed by before his eyes, and then there was no trace.Byron could not help hissing coldly as he looked away.He must truly be possessed to be thinking of that woman again and again!"Sir, the customer has been waiting for a long time. Are we not going to go in still?"Luther waited for a bit, but after seeing that his master had not moved, he had asked cautiously.Byron closed his eyes. After sorting out his emotions, he calmly answered, "Let's go."With that, he strode in with long legs.Luther hurriedly followed.…When Rosalie and Yves arrived at the box seat, the staff from the research institute had already arrived.Yves asked her to take a seat in the main seat while he sat beside her. Then
“I’m really sorry, are you alright?”Seeing the other’s drunken state, Rosalie was vigilant as she apologized repeatedly in a way that she was hoping to avoid trouble if possible.Saying that, the person in front of her started smiling maliciously suddenly instead. His voice was a little erratic, “Hey beautiful…I’m just fine. You’d know if you joined me for a few drinks! Make me happy and I won’t nitpick on you today!”Rosalie frowned slightly. Aware the man in front of her was obviously drunk and being unreasonable, she did not intend to pay any more attention to him. She lowered her head and thought of bypassing him from his side.The drunk's voice sounded again the moment she reached his side. "Don't go, beautiful! I’m very rich. If you agree to come with me, I’ll make sure you have the time of your life forever!"He chortled lecherously twice as he said this and his eyes roamed Rosalie’s body unscrupulously. The beautiful woman in front of him had a delicate and beautiful fa
There was no one in the booth.After Byron entered, he closed the door by the way.For a time, they could only hear each other's breathing in the booth.Rosalie looked around, feeling a sense of danger for no reason, and started struggling violently."What are you trying to do? Let go of me!"In the next second, the man had effortlessly pressed her into the corner.Their bodies were almost touching each other.The man's hot breath fanned her ear.Rosalie immediately ceased her struggling and leaned against the wall. She straightened her body rigidly, even unconsciously slowing down her breathing.At this distance, her chest could bump into the person in front of her if she breathed a little heavier.There was dead silence in the booth.Rosalie clenched her teeth; her mind was in a state of chaos.No matter how long had passed, the man still made her feel an intense sense of oppression.It was just that…their relationship had already changed.Rosalie pinched her palm hard
The man’s hot lips covered hers and their breaths intertwined.Rosalie’s mind instantly went blank.She did not expect Byron to do this!The man gripped her chin in his hand, trying to force her mouth open.Rosalie suddenly came to her senses and began struggling. “Byron Lawrence, let go of me! Have you gone mad? This is a public booth! Anyone could come in at any time!”Byron retreated some distance due to her struggling. Hearing this, he said coldly, “So what? Weren’t you the one who said you were going to compensate me? Are you scared now?”Rosalie was slightly shocked. Recalling the experience that night, she felt a burst of resistance.Byron had no consciousness at all that night, likely due to the drug she had given him.Now, the man’s scent lingered and was even mixed with the faint smell of alcohol.Hearing what he said, Rosalie even began to tremble imperceptibly.Noting that she was not responding, Byron’s gaze turned dark. He leaned over and kissed her again.It w
Rosalie had nowhere to go after she ran out of the private room and could only hide in the stairwell.She leaned against the wall and was breathing heavily. Not forgetting to raise her hand, she touched her lips that hurt from being kissed, it felt as if the man’s body heat was still on them.A moment later, Rosalie lowered her gaze with self-mockery.She thought she no longer had feelings for Byron after so many years but did not expect her heart to be thrown into disarray after meeting him once. Rosalie returned to the booth after a while when her emotions had stabilized. The staff inside were still having fun and when they saw her come in, they only restrained themselves a little.Yves noticed she seemed a little different from before she left and frowned slightly. “Where did you go off to for so long? Did something happen? You…look kind of off?”Rosalie smiled and shook her head as if nothing had happened. “It’s nothing, I just called my sons.”With that, she went and sat
Estie obediently stretched out her injured hand for him to look.Bryon frowned slightly when he saw the injury on her hand. “How did this happen? Did the kids bully you?”Estie was stunned for a moment but then she forcefully shook her head. She was not bullied?Byron did not understand. “Then what happened?”Estie picked up the drawing pen again and wrote stroke by stroke into the small notebook. She wrote a few letters.S-L-I-P-E-DAfter she wrote that, she tilted her head, feeling somewhat lacking in confidence.The word was too hard to spell.Whenever she comes across a word that she did not know how to spell, she would usually make an educated guess from how it sounded or skip it entirely.She did not come across this word often and did not know if she had spelled it correctly."You slipped?”Byron looked at the letters and confirmed with her.Estie nodded.Byron let out a sigh of relief as he touched the area of the injury. “Did the teacher give you any treatment f
After the little ones went upstairs, the smile instantly fell from Rosalie’s face."What's the matter? What's on your mind?"Mary switched off the television and came to worry over her.After a moment's hesitation, Rosalie explained what happened tonight in a brief manner. "I met Byron at dinner just now."She could not talk to anyone about what happened six years ago except for Mary.Hearing this, Mary was stunned for a moment. She could not help but sigh. "Just what kind of ill-fated relationship do you guys have... Coast City is huge and here I was thinking if you don’t take the first step to go looking for him, the possibility of a meeting would be almost zero."Rosalie lowered her gaze, she seemed to be thinking of something."So, what are your thoughts now after meeting him?" Mary asked."What can I think? We already ended six years ago, now we’re just two strangers. I won't be influenced by him anymore. I just want to take good care of Lucian and Nox and live a good life
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
