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
"Go abroad?"Wendy's face darkened. "If I leave the country, wouldn't that b*tch Rosalie get what she wanted? She hasn't gotten her retribution yet, how can I leave!"Andrea’s heart tightened as she noticed the storm brewing around the mad woman. She cautiously persuaded her."If you don't go abroad, you will probably be arrested by the Lawrence family or the police. At that time, you can forget about taking revenge on Rosalie. I'm afraid your situation will be even worse!"At this point, she dared not offend Wendy further for fear that she would go berserk. So, she tried to de-escalate her emotions as much as possible.‘If Wendy goes abroad, it will be all benefits and no disadvantages for me!’Thinking of this, Andrea even took the initiative to propose an offer. "If you are worried about finances, I can prepare it for you. Now I’m considered part of Quirke Enterprise. Although I can't take out much, I would still have ten or twenty million."Wendy panicked when she was forced
Melody looked at Rosalie coldly. She suspected that her son was making a big fuss because of this woman.Byron stood between his mother and Rosalie. He took Rosalie downstairs and got her to sit on the single sofa, then protectively stood beside her."I didn't want to bother the police so late either. This afternoon, I caught someone named Lucille who tried to pour lubricant on Rosalie's brakes. If I didn't find out in time, Rosalie and the children might be dead by now!"With that said, Melody's face changed. "What? Doesn't that person know that our little Estie is in the car too?"Byron's tone also sank. "Of course, they knew. After all, the person behind this was Wendy!""What did you say?"Melody was so flustered that she lost her balance and fell back on Benedict.Benedict quickly helped her to the sofa, and asked, "What's going on? How can you be sure that Wendy did it? The Fuller family has fallen to this point, has she not realized her mistake?"Byron nodded plainly. "M
Although she never explicitly admitted it, this apology was a disguised acknowledgment that she instigated Lucille’s actions! Melody's heart turned cold."For all these years, I blindly trusted such a cruel person like you!"Her voice was indifferent.Wendy could catch the iciness in her tone. She quickly explained, "Auntie, I swear, this is the only thing I lied to you about! I only did this because I love Byron too much! You understand how I feel, right? I promise I will never do it again, ever!"Her weak apology riled Melody up even more. "The only thing? You don't think this is enough, do you? You almost killed my granddaughter!"Despite being separated by the phone, Wendy could not help but shiver and choked. "I was wrong, I was so wrong! Please forgive me, I would kneel and beg Estie for forgiveness, please! Did you forget? As you said before, you would only accept me as the Young Lady of the Lawrence family! I will give all that up, can you please ask Byron to let me go?"
Melody shook her head, her face downcast, unwilling to say another word.The fact that she got cheated on by someone like Wendy was shameful enough for her.Worse still, she had to admit it in front of Rosalie!From her response, Byron and Rosalie looked at each other with heavy emotions in their eyes."What do you want the police to do with her?" Benedict expressed concern.Byron said calmly, "She should be dealt with according to the crimes she did. However, now that Wendy has gone off the radar, we must locate her whereabouts to be able to do something."Hearing this, Melody frowned. "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have spoken to her in that tone!"If Melody had known earlier, even at the expense of her disgust she would pretend to care for that woman to lure her back!Byron knew what his mother was thinking. He said, "She is very cautious. I asked you to call only to give it a try. I didn't have much hope an
After Melody and Benedict left, Rosalie looked at the time."It's getting late, I should go back. I don't feel at ease when the children are at home by themselves."Byron frowned slightly, then said, "I'll send you."Indeed, it was late now. With Wendy's whereabouts unknown, she may appear at any time to threaten Rosalie's life. Byron was worried about letting her go back by herself.Rosalie knew that he was worried about her, so she did not refuse. "Alright, thanks for the ride."The two got into the car. Byron started the car and drove towards Rosalie's house.On the way, they talked about Wendy."I wonder where Wendy is now. I will never be at ease if she is still at large..."Rosalie looked at the scenery outside the window with melancholy in her eyes.Byron slowed down the speed of the car. His deep voice soothed her. "The evidence is solid. The police will not let her go unpunished, and I will do my best to locate her whereabouts. Before that, I will have my men protect
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
