It was already dark before they knew it.Byron had driven Rosalie to her business trip, bought presents, and helped her take things into the villa. Thus, Rosalie naturally invited him to dinner.After dinner, he played with the kids for a while before deciding to head back home.“It’s getting late. I might have to leave now. Estie…”Before finishing his sentence, he heard the little girl protesting, “Estie wants to be with Mommy!”Byron glanced at Estelle and continued. “Estie can stay at your place for now. If you’re busy, let me know and I can take the children to my place.”Lucian’s and Nox’s eyes lit up in excitement.They were smart enough to catch the point in Byron’s words.Their daddy said ‘children,’ so that included them.They could not call him ‘Daddy,’ but he had already taken them as his kids.The little ones’ hearts were filled with joy when they realized this.Estelle was delighted and satisfied to hear she could stay with her mommy.Rosalie caressed Estelle’
"What do you mean?!"Melody could not contain her annoyance when she heard her son say that about herself."That woman is Estie's biological mother, but I'm still Estie's grandmother! How would I trigger her emotions just by coming to see her? Yes, I used the wrong way to educate Estie some time ago, but I’ve already apologized and promised that it’ll never happen again!"Byron got a headache from her incessant yelling and pressed his temples with his fingers. "You know it’s your fault that the relationship between you and Estie has become like this."Although he did not know what his mother had done to Estie to make the little one reject her so suddenly, after what happened with Wendy, Byron realized that it was important to follow Little Estie's wishes.In regards to the people Estie rejected, Byron would try his best to keep them away from her life—unless Estie offered to forgive.Melody was shunned by Byron's words, and her face turned ugly. She lowered her voice. "No matter
That night, after Andrius received a message from Byron, he did not sleep well all night.Early the next morning, Andrius strode into Lawrence Manor at dawn."Master Quirke," Mrs. Zora greeted him respectfully.Andrius nodded hastily. "Where’s Master Byron?"Mrs. Zora said, "He went to the study right after his meal."Hearing this, Andrius nodded at Mrs. Zora and headed quickly to the study.He had to ask Byron what yesterday's news truly meant. Otherwise, he would be too worried!At the study’s door, Andrius was about to raise his hand to knock when the door opened from the inside."Why are you here?"Byron looked at the person in front of him indifferently, retreated, and turned around to lead his buddy into the study.Andrius choked up.‘Why am I here? I want to ask Byron why he sent me that message last night!‘I don’t mind being his tool on the daily, but he just handed me a grenade in the middle of the night! I couldn’t even sleep well!”"Buddy, why are you being unr
Andrius rolled his eyes in his heart upon hearing this. ‘Am I not the one who has to do the acquisition?’With the Fuller family’s current situation, they had no capacity to fight back at all. This was just a free pass.Byron looked at him inscrutably.Andrius felt guilty when he saw that, so he changed the subject and asked about the current situation between him and Rosalie."How are you and the missus doing now? You both just went out. Is there no progress at all?"He had been working hard on this plan for a long time.If there really was no progress, Andrius would feel tired for Rosalie!Speaking of what happened in Hino, that night of passion lingered long in Byron's head, and his eyes darkened with a slight smirk.Andrius watched his buddy's expression change but could not guess what it meant, so he stared at him in puzzlement."Hey take it easy, buddy! Don't give me that smile. I'm not the missus!"After he spoke, Byron put away his thoughts, and his expression became
Just as desperate as Wendy was Henry, who had his hands full for several days.Melody's words gave Henry hope, thinking that she could really convince Byron to spare the Fuller family this time.Unexpectedly, Lawrence Corporation's suppression of the Fuller family did not stop and even intensified, pushing them to the point of bankruptcy!Henry's hard work for several days was in vain, and his relatives came to question him one after another.After a few days, most of Henry's hair turned gray.At this moment, Henry was sitting behind the desk in the study, face-to-face with several bank staff in front of him.Several contracts for real estate transactions were clearly laid out on the table.After the bank staff reviewed the contract, they pushed the contract in front of Henry. "Mr. Fuller, please sign here."Henry came back to his senses and glanced at the properties he had worked so hard for. His hands trembled in distress, and he left his signature in a trembling scrawl.The
At the same time, Wendy was sitting in her bedroom, completely disheveled.‘The Quirke family! It's the Quirke family!’In the past few days, while Wendy was busy dealing with the mess, she remembered to investigate the driving force behind this.She thought it would be other families giving them trouble.She never expected it to be Andrius!Without much effort, she could easily guess that Byron must have gotten him to do it!If it was not for Byron’s instigation, Andrius would not have the guts to act rashly!‘Byron Lawrence! You’re so cruel to me! Do you wish to drive me to my death?’Just when Wendy was furious, her room door was suddenly pushed open.Wendy came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at the door.As soon as she saw who it was, Henry had already slapped her and knocked her over the bed.“Henry!”After the events of the past few days, Magdalene was already worn out from the downfall of the family. She was also triggered by the news that they had to
For the first time, Wendy felt flustered, and turned to ask her mother for confirmation."Mom, is what dad said just now true? Are we really going to move out?"Magdalene was very reluctant, but had to face reality, and nodded with sorrow. "It's true, we won't be able to live here soon."Then, she persuaded her daughter earnestly. "Wendy, listen to your father's advice and stop doing stupid things. Now that the Fuller family has fallen to this point, if something happens to you, even if we want to help, we won’t be able to anymore!"In the past, others might have given the Fullers some favors because of the Lawrence family.Now, the Lawrence family has turned against them, they even almost announce that they brought down the Fuller family.Naturally, no one will give favors to the Fuller family again, not to mention, they could not even recover any money now...Wendy stared at Magdalene in dismay for a few seconds, then raised her eyes to look at the room where she grew up, and
Andrea regretted as she looked at the blackened phone screen.‘If I'd known that Wendy would end up in this situation, I would never have listened to her!’It was too late to regret it now.Andrea silently got up with her mobile phone in her hand. After much deliberation, she felt that it was not safe, so she took out a bank card from the drawer and put it in her bag before turning around and going out."Where are you going?"As soon as she left the bedroom door, she met her brother who came out of the study room.Andrius looked at her, his eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion.Andrea forced a calm smile and said, "It's nothing, I've been bored at home for so long these two days, and I want to go out for a walk."Andrius did not give her a chance to lie. He was direct. "To see Wendy?"Andrea did not expect her brother to guess it so quickly, her face changed slightly."You can’t go, stay at home!"Andrius knew how deep Byron's prejudice against Wendy was.At the same time, h
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
