Hearing his mother suddenly mention Byron's marriage to Wendy, Andrius looked at Rosalie who was silent at the side again.Rosalie's features were drooping slightly in a way that others were unable to see her emotions. However, the corners of her lips were still slightly upturned.For a while, he could not guess what Rosalie was thinking.To the side, Andrea had constantly been paying attention to Rosalie. She did not miss the turbulence that flashed across Rosalie's face when her mother mentioned Byron's marriage.Noting the fluctuations in Rosalie's mood, Andrea became more and more excited. She echoed her mother's words, "That’s right, Byron and Wendy are a perfect couple. Even though they haven’t held the banquet, who hasn’t been treating them as if they’re family all these years?"With that, she glanced at Rosalie loftily.Melody already had this in her mind. Hearing them mention this, she responded with a smile, "This matter has really been delayed for a long time. Our two
Andrea looked at the two of them, then at Rosalie who was sitting in the corner. Her heart was filled with pride as she made up an excuse to leave the elders."Oh, why are you sitting here alone, Dr. Jacobs?"Rosalie's mind was a mess. She had finally gotten to sit down in the corner and have some free time. She wanted to sort out her thoughts when suddenly the strange voice sounded in her ears.Looking up, she saw Andrea standing in front of her in high spirits.Seeing this, Rosalie frowned slightly. A touch of irritability flashed through her heart.Just now, Andrea had been generous with her praise about how good of a match Byron and Wendy were in front of the elders.It was obviously all for her ears.However, she did not expect this person to catch up with her even after she had left.Andrea did not notice her displeasure at all. She looked at her contemptuously and motioned her to look at Byron and Wendy standing among the crowd not far away. "Look, Byron and Wendy are a
Rosalie smiled apologetically. "My apologies, I'm not really in the mood." Her refusal was quite indirect, and the gentleman was a little regretful, but he did not force it. He turned around and left.It was finally quiet again.Rosalie was about to sort out her thoughts when suddenly she heard a familiar male voice."Rosalie? Is that you?"Hearing this, Rosalie looked up in the direction of the voice. Just a few steps away was a man dressed in an iron-gray tuxedo. The handsome gentleman was looking at her in surprise.When their eyes met, Rosalie's eyes lit up. There was also some surprise in them. "Leon? Could there be such a coincidence?"Leon was a senior student she met abroad and was also of the outstanding individuals of the younger generation in the world.This senior had helped Rosalie a lot when she was abroad in many aspects. Their relationship was also very good.Rosalie had not had the opportunity to contact him after returning home because she had been busy with
After seeing them interact several times, Andrius more or less noticed something.At the very least, he realized that Byron's attitude toward Rosalie was different from what he had imagined.After learning about their relationship, Andrius kept thinking that Byron would ignore Rosalie, but the result was quite the opposite.Byron seemed to be helping the woman both openly and secretly.To Wendy, however, he was giving her somewhat of a cold shoulder.Looking at the way their relationships were, Andrius faintly realized that Byron was paying more attention to Rosalie. Hence, he put forth such a proposal after witnessing the scene in front of him as well as Byron's sudden cold mood.Byron frowned even more, but he did not answer. His expression was cold.Andrius understood him very well, so he spoke again as if he was troubled, "Dr. Jacobs is a very important guest of mine. It’s not nice to just leave her there. I should still go over and offer my greetings. Would you like to go t
For a while, the atmosphere between the four of them was a little strange.Almost everyone's gaze had fallen onto her.Rosalie frowned uncomfortably. She did not want to have too many interactions with Byron, so she just looked at Andrius and asked, "Did something happen? Why did the young master come over all of a sudden?"Andrius was stunned for a moment before he gave a laugh. "I thought it was rather impolite of me to invite you here and then leave you alone. So I came over to chat with you for a while."With that, he looked at Byron silently.Byron's expression was cold, and it was obvious that he had no intention of opening his mouth to relieve the situation.Andrius could only bear the blame.Hearing this, Rosalie calmly replied, "It doesn't matter to me. I just so happened to meet my senior here. It's rare for us to meet, so we wanted to talk more for a while. I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to entertain me especially."Hearing her turn them away, Andrius
Melody, along with Master and Madam Quirke, was with the old master when Byron and his party were called back. After learning there was nothing wrong, they were about to leave when they saw Rosalie and Leon coming over one after another."Old Master, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading back first. The children are still waiting at home," Rosalie politely said goodbye.Hearing this, Clara was a little surprised. "Are you leaving so soon? The banquet is only halfway through. Why not stay a little longer?"Rosalie smiled apologetically. “No, it’s fine. I’m really worried about the children at home.”Everyone present knew about her two children. Seeing her adamant, they thought it would be impolite to have her stay.The old master waved his hand and ordered Andrius, "I won't be at ease with Dr. Jacobs going back so late. Go and see her off."Andrius turned to look at Byron’s expression.Seeing that he was not unhappy, he knew he had agreed to it and was about to nod when Leon's
Byron grabbed Rosalie and practically dragged her out of the banquet in full view of the crowd.Rosalie tried to break free several times, but the man's grip was so tight that he did not even give her the chance to break free at all. His grip on her wrist only loosened when they made it outside the villa.Rosalie gritted her teeth as she pulled herself away. She took two steps back to distance herself. "Thank you for your kindness, but I can get home just fine by myself. There's no need to trouble yourself to send me back personally. Moreover, your mother and fiancee are still inside. It would be better for you to go back and accompany them!"With that, she wanted to walk past the man to the gate of the manor.She intended to go back by herself from the very beginning and did not expect the situation to evolve into this. Even more so, she did not expect Byron to do that in front of so many people.Rosalie's mind was a mess. She just wanted things to quiet down for a while.Just a
They reached the gates of Rosalie's house.Luther practically could not wait to step on the brake. He got out of the car and opened the door for the two individuals. After watching their figure enter the villa, he heaved a long sigh of relief.For some reason, the atmosphere did not seem very happy whenever the master and the young madam were together."Mommy! You're back!"The children greeted Rosalie with sweet smiles the moment she came in through the door.It was the first time the children saw Rosalie all dressed up. Nox said sweetly, "Mommy, you look so beautiful today!"Rosalie’s mood improved a lot after seeing the children. Hearing this, the corner of her lips gently raised into a smile. "Thank you, baby."Lucian was about to say something, but then he saw another person coming in through the door.Seeing the visitor, he frowned but greeted politely and distantly, "Hello, Uncle."Hearing this, Nox then noticed the person at the back. Seeing Bryon, a touch of longing f
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
