Early the next morning, the Lancer Corporation scandal had completely unfolded.When Rosalie woke up, she saw overwhelming public opinion about the Lancer family on the Internet.After what happened last night, many people pulled away from the Lancers in time and relentlessly bit back at them.Some internal employees revealed that after Xander took over, the Lancer Corporation underwent earth-shaking changes.Under Xander’s leadership, there were many illegal operations within the Lancer Corporation.Many of the drugs produced were rushed to the market for temporary benefits and have not even undergone a complete test. Under Lancer Corporation’s branding, the price was much higher than the market price, disregarding the patient's life and death!During this period, Xander did not even hesitate to enlist uncertified small factories without trademarks to make profits. This business strategy made it difficult to guarantee the quality of medicines.Xander also bribed some private ho
Within half a day, Lancer Corporation’s incident spread throughout Coast City and even alerted the authorities.After the police sealed off the Lancer family’s warehouse, investigators visited Lancer Corporation. The entire corporation’s business activity was forced to stop.Meanwhile, Old Master Lancer was in the countryside villa.He leaned against the headrest of the bed as he read through the comments online. His hand clutched his chest as he gasped for breath.“What should we do now, Old Master Lancer?”Xander’s assistant stood by the bed, asking Old Master Lancer for a solution.Last night, when Old Master Lancer passed out, he was the one who sent Old Master Lancer to the hospital.Fortunately, it was just Old Master Lancer’s illness being triggered again, and he was better after taking his medication.The assistant thought the matter might get worse. Thus, instead of taking Old Master Lancer back to the Lancers' ancestral residence, he took Old Master Lancer to the vill
“You!”Anger shot through Old Master Lancer, and it triggered his heart attack. His vision turned black, and he almost passed out again.The assistant quickly held him upright. “Old Master Lancer, I'm telling the truth! No one can stop Mr. Lancer from doing what he wants to do. Please take care of your health. The Lancer family needs you!”The assistant spoke as he patted Old Master Lancer’s back.Old Master Lancer’s chest heaved violently. His face had turned pale, and his lips were purplish because he almost lost breath.The assistant quickly took the pills and fed them to Old Master Lancer. Soon, Old Master Lancer felt better.“Are you telling the truth?’After recovering, Old Master Lancer’s anger subsided gradually. He looked at the assistant sadly, trying to get an answer.The assistant nodded warily.“How ironic…” Old Master Lancer shook his head sadly. “The Lancer family has been doing good deeds for generations. Why did Xander turn out to be a despicable person?”The
The assistant could only shut his mouth since Old Master Lancer had flared up. He was afraid he might piss Old Master Lancer off so much that he would pass out again.Meanwhile, Xander rushed to a pier on the outskirt of the city. He had a silver suitcase with him and nothing else.Last night, after gaining consciousness, Xander was aware of the seriousness of the matter.If he stayed back, Byron might not let him off easily even if the police did not arrest him!Therefore, Xander planned to escape overnight and had already arranged everything.Long before this incident, he had already done preparations by moving some of his wealth abroad.As long as he could escape smoothly to a foreign country, he could still live a luxurious life.There were plenty of opportunities for him to make a comeback in the future!At that time, he would take revenge on every person who stood in his way!Byron and Rosalie destroyed Lancer Corporation which he had painstakingly managed for so long.
Xander looked at the captain in front of him.The captain lowered his head, appearing afraid and humble for fear of upsetting him. He explained carefully, “Accidents happen when we're at sea, and my crew is experienced. You can rest assured that we won’t keep you waiting for long!”Hearing this eased Xander’s anxiety a little. “How long? Give me a time.”"Half an hour at most! It’s almost noon now. If you’re hungry, I’ll have lunch prepared for you. After lunch, we can depart!”Xander was naturally in no mood to eat. He waved his hand in frustration. “No. Prepare a cup of coffee for me!”The captain hastily agreed, turned around, and ordered it to be done.In a few minutes, someone brought the coffee.Time passed minute by minute as anxiousness grew in Xander. He kept checking the things in his suitcase to divert his attention.The coffee was served, but he did not look at the person who brought it. He took it and gulped it down.However, it tasted so awful that he almost spat
Xander’s hands trembled as he held his suitcase.When he glanced at Rosalie, he tried hard to calm himself down.He could not lose to Byron, and he could not show his cowardliness before this woman.“What do you want?”He forced himself to look into the eyes of the three of them.Byron’s cold voice sounded after Xander asked him that question.“At first, I only planned to get you locked up in prison after I married Rosie. Unexpectedly, you asked for a death wish by poisoning Rosie.”Byron’s gaze turned colder as he said coldly, “If you had remained nice until Rosie and I got married, Lancer Corporation might not have had to go bankrupt. However, sending you to prison now will be far from enough!”Hearing this, Xander was bewildered again.No wonder he felt Byron’s investigation on Lancer Corporation was too fast and too deep.It turned out that Byron had already investigated the Lancer family before last night and had the evidence in his hand!Byron might have been planning
“Your mistake was being too paranoid!”When she saw Xander’s reaction, Rosalie was more pissed off than anyone else. “I understand your motivation to strengthen the Lancer family, but you have to do it through legal means! However, you chose the wrong path! We, as doctors, have to cure people, yet you, as the Lancer family’s heir, hurt others with the medical skills you're proud of and refuse to repent over it!”As a doctor, Rosalie was disappointed to see Xander become someone like this! Moreover, they met in a free clinic, and she had a good impression of him.“Xander, it's fine that you hurt me for your own selfish reasons, but did you think about your grandfather when you risked Lancer Corporation? Did you not think about the consequences when you did all that?”These questions reminded Xander of the doctor he should be.However, he had come this far and would never admit his mistake.He glared at Rosalie and gritted his teeth as he retorted, “What do you know? You're just me
“It’s because of unscrupulous doctors like you that the medical field has been corrupted!”Xander pulled a dagger from behind him as he shouted and dashed toward Rosalie. “If it weren’t for you being a fool, I wouldn't have ended up like this!”Upon seeing the dagger in Xander’s hand, Rosalie’s heart skipped a beat.The crew members who had been standing aside were fast to react and subdued Xander, pinning him to the ground.The dagger fell from Xander’s hand, yet he was still struggling.“Get off me! I paid you! You took my money, yet you're helping them hurt me! What a group of ungrateful bastards! I’ll poison you one by one!”The crew members pinned Xander down silently as they looked at Byron for his order.Byron spoke expressionlessly, “Since you felt that Lawrence Corporation was a threat to you, you should've investigated before you fled. You should've at least found out how many companies Lawrence Corporation has.”Xander stopped yelling and looked at Byron in disbelief
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
