Mrs. Zora approached them and glanced at the little ones before explaining to Byron.“Madam Lawrence came this afternoon and took the kids out. Maybe they’re exhausted.”Lucian wanted to avoid mentioning this. However, since Mrs. Zora had told Byron and Rosalie, they could only nod their heads.This was something new, and it surprised Rosalie, making her ponder.‘Melody took the children out?‘She has hated Lucian and Nox all this while. Even if she wanted to take anyone out, she would only take Estelle. Why would she take even the little boys?‘Moreover, the three kids look unhappy…’Rosalie frowned and wanted to ask something, but Byron was around. If Melody did something overboard, she would only be putting Byron in a difficult situation.Upon thinking this, Rosalie gave up on asking anything and touched the kids’ heads, trying to comfort them. “Let’s go to bed early after dinner if you’re tired.”Then, she took the kids to wash their hands and seated them by the dining tab
Rosalie also felt the little ones were acting strangely, but she decided to ask them when Byron was not around.After dinner, Rosalie wanted to take the kids out, but Byron told her, “I wonder how things are going on Andrius’ side. Why don’t you give him a call?”Rosalie hesitated when Byron mentioned the medicinal material supplier. In the end, she decided to call Andrius first after pondering for a while.As for the kids, she could ask them about what happened today when she put them to bed.Then, she headed to the study to call Andrius.Meanwhile, Andrius was flustered to receive a call from Rosalie. He thought it was Byron who asked her to urge him, and he quickly explained. Then, he asked about the progress of Rosalie and Byron’s relationship.They both talked for some time on the phone.Downstairs, the three kids realized something felt wrong and tried to escape. “Daddy, we want to play in the yard.”As they spoke, they slowly crept to the yard.Byron’s forehead puckered
Byron felt sorry for Lucian and Nox upon hearing it.The place the little boys took the taxi to before this was the manor they lived in now.He recalled the time when Lucian came looking for Estelle. The teenagers almost beat them up, and Byron’s displeasure with his mother’s act grew.The two boys were still young. They were still Estelle’s friends and half-brothers, even if they were not his sons like he had announced to the public.However, his mother was so mean that she could dump the two kids in the amusement park.Fortunately, nothing happened to the boys. If anything had happened to them…Byron would not know how to explain himself to Rosalie.Upon thinking of the danger the boys might have faced, Byron was afraid.“We’re smart, Daddy. The driver was also a nice person. He didn’t want to take our money at first…”Lucian noticed Byron’s anger and appeased him.Looking at the kids speaking up for his mother, Byron felt terrible and hugged them.“I’m sorry that Grandma
At the same time, Byron pulled over the car outside the Lawrence family’s mansion.The butler opened the gate quickly. “Sir.”Byron asked expressionlessly, “Where’s my mother?”The butler answered, “Mrs. Lawrence has just had her dinner and is having her tea now in the living room.”Byron nodded and told the butler not to follow him. Then, he strode into the mansion.Just as he entered the mansion, he saw Melody sitting on the sofa and drinking her tea as she watched the TV.“Why are you here?”Melody heard the footsteps from the door and turned around.When she saw her son, she looked startled. The first thought that struck her mind was that the two bastards must have complained to her son.Byron stood before her and turned off the TV.Melody’s face was ashen when she saw that her son seemed mad. “Are you here to question me?”Byron asked expressionlessly, “Why did you leave Lucian and Nox alone at the amusement park this afternoon?”With a frown, Melody spoke up for herse
Rosalie failed to get any information about that afternoon from her children.Lucian and Nox were afraid she might be persistent and quickly requested to play games.With that, Rosalie could not continue asking and had to play with them instead.Soon, the four were having fun in the living room.When Byron was back, Rosalie and the little ones were still playing.“Have you settled what you went out for?”Noticing Byron’s cold expression, Rosalie asked with concern.The kids were obedient and immediately remained silent.Byron nodded as he glanced at Lucian and Nox. However, looking at them reminded him of what his mother had said just now, making him feel sorry for them.“Daddy, come join us!”The little boys could see their daddy was blaming himself and tried to comfort him by grabbing his hand.Byron was startled for a few seconds before holding their hands as he walked to Rosalie’s side with them.Then, the two adults accompanied the kids by playing with them.Looking a
After having a long passionate moment in the bathroom, Byron was finally done, yet Rosalie was so exhausted that she almost passed out.Byron carried her out of the bathroom and had the second round of pleasure until midnight.The following day, Rosalie felt that her bones were about to fall apart when she woke up.The man was not beside her. She had no idea where he went.Rosalie endured the pain as she got up. The idea of sleeping in separate rooms with Byron flashed across her mind again.“You’re awake?”Byron opened the door suddenly.Shocked, Rosalie felt her legs turn to jelly, and she almost fell.Fortunately, Byron reacted fast enough and held her waist before she fell.Rosalie was wearing a low-cut night dress. It was Byron who changed her into this last night.As she lowered her body, her loose collar revealed her fair chest and the hickeys Byron printed on her.One glance at it made Byron’s desire rise.Rosalie, in his embrace, was relieved that she did not fall.
“Okay… Andrius, Byron said you wanted to meet me. May I know why you came? Is it because you’ve found a substitute supplier to replace Lancer Corporation for the research institute?”Rosalie hesitated for a moment before changing the way she addressed Andrius.Andrius’ face bloomed, and he nodded. “Thanks to the good reputation of the research institute under your lead, the suppliers agreed to cooperate when they heard the research institute’s name.”Rosalie glanced at the man beside her, then back at Andrius.She had only been working in the research institute for a while.With what she knew about the business field, the suppliers might have agreed because Andrius went to negotiate personally and because he might have mentioned Lawrence Corporation.That was probably why the medicinal material suppliers agreed without hesitation.Byron held Rosalie’s hand like Andrius did not exist and massaged her back with another hand. It seemed he was afraid Andrius would not know Rosalie w
Byron and Andrius were nervous while waiting for Rosalie’s response.After all, those medicinal materials were for the research institute, yet the suppliers wanted to go through those two companies. They were afraid Rosalie would mind it.Rosalie looked at them and was amused by their nervous expressions. “I’m fine with that. After all, you went through the trouble to get me the suppliers.”She could tolerate anything as long as the research institute could get the supplies.The two men were relieved upon hearing that.Andrius said, “Let’s hold a press conference this afternoon!”Rosalie was dumbfounded upon hearing this. “Why are we holding a press conference for this?”Andrius sounded helpless. “Those medicinal material suppliers can finally have something to do with Lawrence Corporation. Of course, they want to tell the public about it. However, they won’t attend. It’ll only be the three of us.”Byron looked at Rosalie. “I can tell them that we want to announce it through La
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
