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
There was some hesitation in Rosalie's eyes."I want to know, what you do think of Lucian and Nox? Be honest with me. Is it because of me that you choose to accept them?"Byron's embrace did not waver in the slightest. "You know my character. Apart from Estie, I don't have any patience with children. Somehow, Lucian and Nox are different. Maybe it's because they are your flesh and blood. I felt close to them from the first time we met."He let go of the little woman in his arms. His gaze was deep. "When I saw them for the first time, I was ready to accept them. True to my statement, from now on, they will be you and my children, just like Estie."Rosalie's heart was flooded in waves from his answer.‘Byron said that he felt close to Lucian and Nox the first time he saw them. He wondered if it was because those two children were my flesh and blood.‘In fact, the real reason should be that their bodies bleed Byron’s blood as well…‘It turns out that blood bonds can be so strong.’
Byron’s heart melt as he saw Nox take the initiative to admit his mistake. The man quickly urged the kids. "It's getting late, sleep early, and don't go anywhere in these few days."The little ones all nodded.Lucian said, "Then, we’ll go back to bed."Then, he led his younger siblings into the room as if nothing had happened.Byron watched the three little figures disappear on the balcony. Then, he did not speak again.Rosalie's ears felt faintly hot.‘All this time, the kid only ever caught me and Byron hugging.‘But this time, the little ones almost saw us…’Thinking of this, Rosalie gave Byron another look.Byron looked at her innocently. "It's already late. I thought they had slept."Rosalie was silenced by his confidence which made her a little mad. She huffed, "Yeah, it’s late. I'm going to bed too. You should go back soon, President Lawrence!"Byron doted on her even more from her little tantrum.As soon as Rosalie walked past him, he grabbed her wrist, forcing her
"Sis Wendy, how is it? Any solution?"The clock was ticking, it was getting late. Andrea felt increasingly anxious.Finally, something clicked in Wendy. She gritted her teeth. "The man that night, did you find anything about him?"Andrea's eyes widened in astonishment. "You want to find him? Didn't you say that he is with Rosalie? What if he rats you out?"Wendy's eyes were full of desperation. "This is my only way! That man has an imposing demeanor, he must have some influence!""But...how could such a person be Rosalie's lackey?" Andrea's eyes were full of puzzlement."Did you find anything or not?" Wendy could not be bothered to explain further, and asked in a cold voice.Andrea nodded hesitantly. "I checked the surveillance, trailed him and found his residence."Wendy did not hesitate. "Take me there!"Andrea could only agree.The two took a taxi on the curb. Andrea gave the address, and the car slowly drove away from the hotel entrance.The car stopped at the gate of a
Wendy clenched her hands that hung by her side tightly. Her fingertips dug deep into her flesh."Who said I was begging you? I'm threatening you, can't you see it?""Threat?" Alistair's eyes became more playful, "I don't think you’re in any position to threaten me, darling."Wendy gritted her teeth. "If you don't help me, I'll call the police! What you did to me that night is enough for you to go to jail!"The smile on Alistair's face suddenly dissipated. His whole demeanor turned sharp as a blade when she threatened him about going to jail."If I was afraid, I wouldn't have done it that night. Do you have evidence on me to put me in jail?"Hearing this, Wendy's eyes trembled imperceptibly.‘Evidence... I had thought about using this man at the time, so how could I leave evidence?’"If you don’t have any, then you better behave yourself. Don't be mistaken that I have a crush on you just because I’ve touched you. If you hadn't had a relationship with Byron, your looks alone woul
“Speaking of which, you haven’t told me why Byron wanted to break off his engagement tie with you.”Alistair stared at Wendy’s face in bewilderment.Wendy’s anxious mind relaxed a little upon hearing that question. She was relieved. “You have nothing to do with Rosalie?”Puzzled, Alistair asked, “Why do you think I have anything to do with her?”Relieved, Wendy did not hide her hatred for Rosalie. “If not for that b*tch, I would have already married Byron! I’ll never forgive her for snatching what was mine.”Alistair’s gaze on her changed. After a while, he smiled suddenly and said, “I can help you.”That was out of Wendy’s expectations. Delighted, she looked into his eyes.She was unsure if she was thinking too much, but she seemed to notice a glimpse of malicious intent in his eyes.Alistair did not want to waste his time putting on an act. He stated his suggestion frankly, “I can send you abroad, but you must listen to my arrangement. It might be a little challenging. So, ar
There was no news of the arrest for the next two days.The Lawrence family had sent their men to look for Wendy, but they could not find her anywhere in Coast City.Troubled, Luther looked at Byron, who was standing in his study. “Sir.”“Are there any updates on the investigation of Wendy’s whereabouts?”Byron’s voice was cold upon mentioning Wendy’s name.Luther could sense Byron’s anger, and he was afraid. “We found nothing. Even the police can’t find her.”Byron’s mood sank, and it made a chill run down Luther’s spine.“What about Henry and Magdalene? Wendy didn’t contact them?”Byron’s gaze was sharp, and it showed how displeased he was.Luther’s voice sounded nervous. He answered cautiously, “No. I’ve looked into that. They lost contact with Wendy since the photo got exposed online.”Then, he glanced at Byron’s expression before speaking out what was in his mind, “I suspect Wendy might have fled. She hasn’t contacted Lucille for a long time, maybe because she noticed som
Andrius’ expression looked serious when he hung up the call. He strode out of his room and stood before Andrea’s room.Since Wendy left, Andrea had been hiding in her room out of guilt.When she heard someone knocking on the door of her room, she almost darted out of her bed in shock.“Andrea, it’s me. Open the door.” Andrius’ demanding voice came from the door.Andrea did not dare to face him. She pretended to sound ill and said, “I’m not well. Let’s talk some other day…”“If you don’t open the door, I’ll get the key and open it myself.” Andrius did not plan to compromise this time.Andrea got up from her bed and opened the door. “Andrius, what’s so urgent that you…”Andrius stared straight into Andrea’s eyes and asked, “Two and a half million is missing from our company’s account when you worked there. What did you spend this money on?”At first, he thought his sister had bought some luxury goods.After all, it was not a lot of money. Thus, Andrius just turned a blind eye 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
