“Byron?”Rosalie, who took the children to the car, saw Byron interrogating Lucille.When she saw Byron seemed mad, she quickly stopped the kids. Then, she reminded Byron to pay attention and not use violence with the kids around her.Byron’s grip tightened. However, after a second, he let go of Lucille and beckoned the bodyguards to let go of her.Lucille panted in terror and desperately tried to escape, but her feet seemed rooted, and she could not lift them.“Daddy!”The three little ones saw their daddy, who was tall, and greeted him warmly even when Rosalie stopped them.The scene seemed harmonious, so Rosalie let go of the kids.The little ones saw Lucille, who seemed strange, standing by the side. Even so, they greeted her obediently, “Ms. Crane.”Lucille was drowned in dread, and she did not notice the kids’ voices.The kids looked at the adults beside them when Lucille did not respond to their greeting.“Daddy, what are you doing here with Ms. Crane?”Nox asked in
Knowing there was nothing she could do to help by staying, Rosalie turned around and got into the car.Watching them leave, Byron took the other bodyguards into their respective cars.Soon, the cars left the kindergarten.Lucille was blindfolded throughout. All she heard was the car engine roaring.“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I know my mistake. Please show me mercy…”Lucille kept pleading for mercy as panic rose in her.There was no response from the car.The car slowed down.Lucille felt her heart hammer so hard that it was about to leap out of her throat. She was so nervous that she could not breathe. Many scenes from the TV shows she watched flashed across her mind.With Byron’s wealth and status, getting rid of her would be as easy as killing an ant.Her panic peaked when one of them tied her with a rope.Lucille gasped, and she fainted.When she woke up again, she was on the rooftop of a building, and a small helicopter was not far away from her.“Did you sleep well, M
Byron stared at her coldly for a few seconds, then let go of her collar.Lucille almost landed face down on the ground. She panted heavily, thinking that she had been released."Tie her up."Byron’s ice-cold voice instructed from above.Lucille drew a sharp breath as if she was being suffocated.‘Tie me up? Tie me where?’She looked up in a panic. There was a small helicopter in front of her.For a moment, Lucille felt that she was about to faint again.However, the bodyguard did not give her this chance. He dragged her involuntarily and tied her directly under the helicopter.After a while, the chopper blades began to spin.Lucille was tied up tightly and struggled desperately."You'd better not thrash around. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you won't fall halfway through the journey."Byron said in her ear indifferently, "The scenery in Coast City is not bad. However, I can only give you a tour of the suburbs, Ms. Crane. Let's take this as a reward for you telling the t
Mrs. Zora concluded that perhaps the young couple had gotten into a quarrel. She tried to persuade her."Young Lady, Young Master really cares about you. If he accidentally misspoken or lost his temper, it’s only because he cares about you. Please don't be upset with him..."Rosalie realized that Mrs. Zora had misunderstood, but she had no time to explain. "I see, I'll call him right away. Don't worry."After that, she anxiously hung up and scrolled her contact list to find Byron's phone number. Just as she was about to call, an idea came to her.She looked back at the three little ones. "I need to go out for a while. You kids stay at home and go to bed early, okay?"The little ones overheard the call from Mrs. Zora just now.Nox asked directly, "Mommy, are you going to see Mr. Byron?"Rosalie did not hide anything. She nodded at the little boy. "Take good care of your sister. No matter who comes, don't open the door, and no sneaking out!"The little ones nodded obediently. "
Byron embraced her with all his might, afraid that she would leave. "Don't go."Actually… he longed to see her and wanted to feel her presence in his arms. Yet, he had to restrain himself for fear of frightening the children.Now that she came by herself, how could Byron let her go just like that?Unsure if it was her illusion, Rosalie felt that Byron seemed a little uneasy.She hesitated for a moment. Then, she reached out and hugged the person in front of her. Her voice was soft. "I’m not leaving. I just wanted to say that I could wait downstairs for a while if you were busy."After all, this was about the children. How could Rosalie leave without getting an answer?Hearing this, the strength in Byron's arms gradually eased.Rosalie patted him on the back reassuringly before leaving his embrace. "What happened? Why are you..."Byron’s heart calmed down at the sight of the woman in front of him.However, the result of his interrogation brought a cold tone to his voice. "Lucil
The police were highly efficient. Furthermore, this involved the Lawrence family. The authorities started an investigation overnight without delay.As soon as Lucille woke up, she was taken to the police station by Luther.The experience in the evening left her with lingering fears. Without much effort, the police obtained a strong testimony from her, along with many phone records between her and Wendy.After the evidence was obtained, the arrest operation was launched immediately.In the villa in the suburbs at midnight.Magdalene lay on the bed, tossing and turning.Henry scolded her in displeasure, "What are you doing, not sleeping at all? That black sheep has left. Do you want to go with her too?"Magdalene was a little uneasy, and she said cautiously, "Don't say that. Wendy is still our daughter, after all. Didn’t you go along with the things she did back then? You’re blaming her now that things have been exposed! I’m worried about how she’s alone outside now..."Then, she
The police put the two elderly under surveillance and contacted Byron immediately."What? You don’t know her whereabouts?"Byron's expression sank after hearing from the police. "What did Henry and Magdalene say?"The police said, "They don't know either. We’ve been searching hard. I thought since you and Wendy were… Maybe if you call her, she might respond."The implication was to use Byron as bait.Byron frowned slightly and glanced at the woman beside him.Rosalie did not hear what was said on the line. She was slightly puzzled when she met his gaze."I see. I'll try."Byron spoke a little, then hung up the phone.Rosalie asked, "What's wrong?""Wendy is missing. Henry Fuller told the police he drove Wendy out after that photo was leaked, and her whereabouts are unknown now."Byron's expression was serious. "The police hope that I’ll cooperate with them and contact Wendy to see if I can lure her out."Rosalie nodded in understanding and looked at him nervously.First, B
Wendy's mind went blank when she exited the hotel. She could not think of what to do next.Of course, the villa in the suburbs was no longer an option.Byron must have placed his men in that area.She could not stay in the hotel anymore...In desperation, Wendy chose to call Andrea.On the other end, Andrea had already fallen asleep. Abruptly woken up by the phone ring, she subconsciously wanted to hang up.She took a glimpse at the caller ID, and suddenly she was wide awake. Her eyes filled with impatience.‘Wendy Fuller! How long is this woman going to pester me?!’She adjusted her mood before picking up the phone. "Sister Wendy, is there anything I can do for you?""Where are you now? I'll be waiting for you downstairs in the hotel. Come out and meet me now. Don't let anyone find out!"Wendy's voice sounded tense.Andrea's heart sank inexplicably. Before she could speak, her body was already moving instinctively."What's the matter? What happened? What do you want me to
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
