Lucian and Nox had always been independent. After following them every day, Estie started learning to do things on her own too.Byron came over to check on the kids after they washed up. He was impressed.Then, it was time to get changed. Estie helped her two brothers pick out clothes. She finally chose two very cool, casual outfits.When she saw how good her two elder brothers looked, Estie quickly nudged Byron for credit. "Daddy, look. Did I do a good job? I want to be a fashion designer in the future. Is that okay?""Of course! I think that Estie might become a great fashion designer in the future." Byron's eyes were full of affection.Lucian also praised his younger sister. "Daddy, I think my younger sister has a talent for fashion design. She can even design and cut fabrics herself now.""Yes, Daddy. Estie said she'll give us a set of clothes she made herself for our birthday next year. We're looking forward to it." Nox smiled and revealed Estie's secret.Estie was embarras
"Why do you both know so much? Did you learn it from Mommy? I want to learn too!"Estie turned to look at Byron and pleaded, "Daddy, please ask Mommy to teach me, okay?""Okay, okay, Mommy will teach you when she's free! But don't you like fashion design? Learning fashion design is also great!" Byron guided with a smile.Talents, hobbies, and fads were completely different."Okay, then I'll learn both. I want to study medicine, and I also want to study fashion design. I'll work harder!" Estie's face was determined, and she took it seriously.Lucian and Nox immediately agreed. Byron could see that the two brothers doted on their younger sister a lot.Upstairs, Rosalie heard everything. A smile appeared on the corners of her mouth involuntarily.Over the years, she had never felt so relieved, at peace, and joyful as now.Her heart which had been floating all this while seemed to have taken root. It was extraordinarily stable.She felt more and more certain of her happiness at
Byron invited Chloe to have lunch at a high-end restaurant as per Rosalie’s request.When the couple arrived at the restaurant, Chloe happened to arrive as well.Rosalie was not too dressed up; she simply had some skincare products on. Chloe's makeup was very delicate, she looked glamorous with a touch of nobility.However, with just one glance, Chloe could see what a natural beauty Rosalie was, despite not wearing any makeup.The Rosalie who landed in the hospital before looked haggard. Chloe never expected her to look completely different after recovery.Chloe was slightly jealous inside. She still had blemishes on her face that must be covered with proper makeup."Hello, Miss Lincoln! We meet again!" Rosalie was generous. She greeted her before Byron could speak."Hello, Miss Jacobs! You’re so beautiful! No wonder, Byron still misses you after all these years." Chloe could not help being a little sour.‘What on earth?’ Byron was stunned for a moment and quickly quipped. "Ros
At this time, Byron did not notice anything amiss.His mind was completely on the little woman."Have some water, you’ve been talking for so long," Byron handed Rosalie a glass, and she took it with a smile.This involuntarily made Chloe feel lonely again.Byron did not even bother with the decorum now. He did not even ask her if she was thirsty.She could only call out to the server. "Waiter, I'm not used to your tea. Give me a glass of water with a slice of lemon."The glass of water with lemon arrived along with the food.Chloe saw it again. Byron kept adding food to Rosalie's plate. However, Byron did not express anything to her as a guest.This made her feel awkward.‘If I had known earlier, I would not have come.‘Why didn't I turn this invitation down? I’ve lost my posture to let Rosalie treat me to this meal.’The atmosphere turned quiet several times, so Chloe initiated the conversation. "Byron, Miss Jacobs, why didn't you bring the kids out for dinner today?" She
Rosalie thoroughly enjoyed this meal.The dishes that Chloe ordered were all signature dishes, it was a pity that she did not taste them.After lunch, Byron took Rosalie to the mall and bought a lot of clothes and shoes.Still in high spirits, Byron picked out several dresses and asked Rosalie to try them on.Every time she wears it, she could see the man's eyes dazzled brightly."Beautiful, you look great. This dress was made just for you.""This dress looks great too. It complements all the natural curves on your body!""Yeah, you must get this set. You looked like you just graduated college when you wear this. You look young. Of course, I don't mean you are old! I just meant you are youthful!"They had gone through an unknown number of outfits. In the end, there were too many shopping bags. After swiping the card, Byron asked the shopkeeper to deliver it to the villa in person.For such a large sale transaction, the owner of the clothing store giddily agreed. Hundreds of th
Melody's face froze, and her gaze turned cold. "I didn't mean that. I didn't say that Rosalie's life isn’t important. But, have you ever considered that the Lincolns would believe that the marriage was real and announced to the public? Don't you need to consider Chloe's reputation?"Byron did not want to have any conflict with his mother.After thinking about it, he calmed down and replied. "I thought about it at that time. You can also ask Chloe about this matter. I only did this after asking for her consent."Melody raised her eyebrows immediately. "Agree? Of course, she would agree. Chloe has been good to you ever since you two were little. Didn't she let you have any toys you wanted when you were a child? She is just being kind.""..." Byron balked.He had a feeling that his mother was about to make a fuss about this matter. Melody became aggressive. "Am I right? Even if Chloe agrees, you can’t just mope over this matter. Have you been to the Lincolns after everything? At le
"Mom, that's the truth! Whether you believe it or not, Lucian and Nox are both my sons. They were born along with Estie six years ago. Rosalie thought that Estie died young by mistake. At that time, Grandpa must’ve arranged for someone to pick Estie up. That person never expected Rosalie to give birth to triplets and took two away with her."Sometimes, the truth can be so absurd.Yves' revelation, Rosalie's acknowledgment, coupled with the undisguised closeness of the bond between the boys and himself, Byron could fully confirm the truth of the matter.However, Melody could not believe it.She suddenly raised her voice sharply. "Byron, you can't just believe everything that woman says. What now? Is this a new version? The godsons you adopted a while ago is not enough. Is she still trying to trick you into admitting them as your blood? That woman can really spew nonsense!"Melody's perception of her son changed as she spoke.‘I wonder if he was bewitched by Rosalie. With such powe
"Aunty Melody, why do you look so pale? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"Chloe put down the bags and hurriedly approached Melody. She took the older lady’s hand and asked with concern on her face.Melody was so angry that her palms were sweating. Then, she immediately felt much more at ease when Chloe held her hand.After all, Chloe was from a prominent family. She was much more sensible than a woman like Rosalie.Melody changed to a smiling face as she calmed down. "I'm alright. What are you doing here with so many gifts?""Are you all right? Sit down and have some water first. Is there something wrong with your body? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Chloe comforted Melody as they sat down together.Melody shook her head. "I'm really fine. You could just come over, there's no need to bring any gifts!""Oh, it's like this. I went to visit Miss Jacobs this morning. I bought some supplement because she was recovering from a serious illness. Of course, I thought about gett
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
