Noticing that Rosalie was still in a daze, Byron could not control his hand touching her cheek.“You...”After being stunned for a few seconds, Rosalie snapped out of it and felt embarrassed.Byron had constantly sneak attacked her when they were abroad, and Rosalie later understood what made him do that.However, she did nothing this time, yet that man still…Byron looked at her innocently. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it.”Rosalie glared at him upon hearing his excuse, but she could say nothing about it. All she could do was turn around as if nothing had happened and put the plates back in the cabinet.They spent some time washing dishes. The little ones clung to Byron for some time when they came out, and he played with them.Only when it was late at night did he get into his car and head home.Rosalie and the kids watched him leave.Back in the villa, Rosalie looked at Lucian and Nox, who lay in bed, and headed back to her bedroom to tuck Estelle into bed.“Estie, is it okay
As Lucille watched the little ones play happily not far away, she could not help but think of the days when she scrimped and saved abroad.If not for Wendy, she would have had trouble continuing her studies.Initially, Wendy planned to give her a job at Fuller Industries when she returned.Lucille was grateful that Wendy would help her no matter what.When Wendy complained about Rosalie, Lucille also started hating Rosalie.However, neither expected the Fuller family to fall before Lucille returned.According to Wendy, the biggest reason her family perished was that Rosalie snatched her man and even instigated Byron to hurt her. Only then did Byron intend to destroy her family.First, Rosalie hurt Lucille’s only friend. Second, Rosalie was the reason Fuller Industries perished, making Lucille lose her opportunity to get a good job.Lucille would, of course, hate Rosalie.Her return to the country and choosing to work at the kindergarten was also Wendy’s idea.Since Rosalie ha
The next game required them to hop on one leg. All the kids went to the equipment room to get their sneakers.Nox put on his shoes, but it felt strange when he walked. However, he did not think much about it. He thought it was because he had not worn his sneakers for a long time and was not used to them.Moreover, Lucian and Estelle were urging him to hurry up. Thus, the little boy ignored the strange feeling the sneakers gave him. He smiled and followed them to the open space.Jumping on one foot was an individual event, and Nox was at the end of the line.After Lucian and Estelle completed their turn, they watched Nox from aside.“Everybody, be careful. Safety first.”Miss Leigh Ann reminded the kids from aside.Lucille stood nearby as if ready to protect the little ones.The three kids did well in the first few events.When it was Nox’s turn to jump, the kids surrounded him and cheered.It sparked Nox’s competitive nature, and he jumped with all his might.Listening to th
The principal, Miss Leigh Ann, and Lucille accompanied Nox to the infirmary while other teachers looked after the other kids.Nox was crying so loud that it tensed up the infirmary’s atmosphere.“How is his injury, doctor?”The principal asked anxiously after the doctor examined Nox.It would be fine if it were before this. However, Nox was the young master of the Lawrence family. If anything happened to him in the kindergarten, the principal was afraid he could not face Byron.Lucian and Nox also looked at the doctor seriously and anxiously.The doctor took the first aid kit and cleaned Nox’s wound. “It’s easy to deal with the wounded part. However, I suspect he strained his ligament and bruised his cartilage. Please send him to the hospital to get a thorough check-up.”The principal almost fainted upon hearing that.Lucian’s expression was gloomy, and he took Estelle out of the infirmary and called their mommy.Since they had to take Nox to the hospital, it meant Nox’s injur
Rosalie was on her way to the hospital, and panic fluttered in her stomach. She stepped on the accelerator all the way there and almost broke the traffic rules.Although Lucian and Nox had been independent since they were infants, it was the first time Nox got injured.Rosalie was worried thinking about it.She parked the car and strode into the hospital when she arrived.Miss Leigh Ann was kind enough to send her a message about the building and department they were in when she arrived at the hospital with Nox.Rosalie did not spend much time getting over to them.“Mommy!”Lucian could hold back no more when he saw his mommy. He grabbed his mommy so hard that Rosalie felt pain.Estelle was also grabbing her shirt.Rosalie comforted the little ones by touching their heads. Then, she looked at Miss Leigh Ann. “Miss Leigh Ann, how is Nox now?”Miss Leigh Ann apologized. “We aren’t sure about his condition now. The doctor in our infirmary said it might be a bruised cartilage and
After Rosalie got the doctor's permission, she took the little ones back home.On the other hand, after school was over, Benedict and Melody waited at the kindergarten gate early, but they did not see Estie.They waited and waited, watching all the children in the kindergarten get picked up. However, Estie was nowhere to be seen.The two wanted to ask the teacher what was going on but belatedly remembered that they rarely came to send Estie to and from school. They did not even know which class the little girl was in."Estie is nowhere to be seen, yet she said she’ll let us pick Estie up..." Melody was very dissatisfied.Benedict did not look great either, so he called Byron and asked, "Did you inform Rosalie? We’re at the gate of the kindergarten now. Where’s Estie?"When Byron heard this, suspicion flashed across his eyes. "Wait a minute. I'll call Rosalie. She agreed yesterday. Something must have happened."Benedict did not answer.Byron hung up the phone and called Rosalie
Benedict frowned slightly at his wife’s behavior. "I don't remember any conflicts between you two six years ago. Why do you have such a huge prejudice against her?""Are you blaming me for being unreasonable?" Melody turned her head and glared at him, eyes full of annoyance.Hearing this, Benedict felt a little helpless on his face. "I'm just being factual. Why do you have to get upset over this?"Melody argued, "Fine, then let's go to her house now! Let’s see if the child is really injured! Didn't she say that we could go to her house to pick up Estie? Let’s go now!"Benedict knew that she was in a fit of anger, so he did not take her seriously. He started the car and drove back to the Lawrence family’s mansion.When Melody saw the direction the car was headed, she was displeased again and kept complaining on the road.Benedict just pretended not to hear it.Accompanying her to the kindergarten to pick up Estie was already the biggest concession he had ever made.As the dignif
Nox frowned and tried to cover up for himself. "It only hurts a little!"As he said that, the little one stretched out his little hand and gestured with his thumb and index finger.Rosalie could not help but laugh at the little boy’s antics.There was a smile in Byron's eyes, and he could not help but pat the little boy's head. "Nox is so brave and strong."Hearing Daddy's praise, Nox proudly lifted his chin.On the side, seeing his younger brother being praised by his father, Lucian showed a bit of envy in his eyes. He could not help glancing at his mother.‘I wonder when Mommy will agree to Daddy's marriage proposal.’Once Mommy agreed, he would eventually be praised by Daddy in the future..."How is his injury? Is it serious?" Byron turned to look at Rosalie.Rosalie continued to treat Nox's wound while she explained, "I just developed a medicine to treat bruises some time ago, and it works quickly. Now, Nox must pay attention to his injured wrist. He can't move it careless
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
