Byron and Rosalie had no intention of opening the door at all.Carl was at the door, shouting continuously over and over again.His voice became more sincere each time, and the fear in his heart increased rapidly.He looked at his son fiercely, gritted his teeth, and spat. Then, he ruthlessly knuckled his son on the head."Ah! Dad, why did you hit me?" the fat boy yelled. He did not know why his father, who had always been fiercer than others, suddenly became so humble.Barely giving his son time to come back to his senses, Carl roared again. "Kneel, kneel right away! Beg President Lawrence and Miss Jacobs for forgiveness."The fat boy hesitated and shook his head in reluctance. "Why do I have to apologize? I didn’t do anything! Isn't the little girl alright?"Not a shred of remorse at all!Carl blew up completely. He slapped his son's face several times in succession, making him scream and cry.Byron frowned heavily. The commotion was getting louder and louder outside."Are
It did not take long before the fat boy felt his whole body itch. He fell to the ground all of a sudden and rolled around."Dad, what is this? I feel itchy all over my body. This is bad! It feels like ten thousand ants are biting me! Dad, help me!"The fat boy called out in horror, but Carl did not dare to say a word at all. He could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy."Brothers, fellow good men! I've been ignorant. I’ve offended people who shouldn't be offended! We both deserve to die, but please let us go. I can give you 20,000 dollars. Perhaps you could accept the money..."The leader snorted coldly, raised his foot, and kicked Carl. "Do you think we're beggars? How could 20,000 dollars be enough? Fine, no need to beg for mercy anymore. There's a pit prepared for both of you today!"‘A pit?’ Carl was so frightened that his whole body went limp.Carl ignored his son when the latter was rolling around in front of him, screaming and kicking up a cloud of dust. Carl was de
In the evening, back at the villa.After Rosalie bathed the kids and told them bedtime stories, she returned to the living room on the first floor.Byron was still working downstairs because there were some things that Luther could not do for him. For example, a big client in Europe was facing many problems recently, and they seemed to want to cancel their cooperation.No matter how Luther tried to appease them, it was useless. Thus, Byron must handle this in person.Moreover, the client refused to answer the phone and was only willing to communicate via email.Rosalie was about to tell Byron to rest, but at a glance, she could see that the man’s face was flushed red.‘Gosh, he’s having a cold and a fever!’Rosalie walked up to him and reached out to feel his forehead.Sure enough, his skin felt hot."You have a fever! Stop working and let me examine you." Rosalie saw that the man was still busy, so she quickly grabbed him."Really? No wonder I felt so hot." Byron seemed fine
That night, Byron's high fever fluctuated as Rosalie expected.Just like a repeated tug-of-war, his temperature dropped and then went up before slowly dropping again. Near dawn, his fever rose to 38.7 degrees again.The fever medication could only be taken once every six hours. Rosalie saw that it wasn’t time yet, so she immediately switched to a physical cooling method.She wiped down Byron's body over and over again. After an hour-long battle, his temperature finally dropped again.Byron was constantly half-awake throughout the whole process. The color on his face gradually became normal, but his lips were slightly pale. He looked exhausted."Honey, thank you for your hard work." The man's eyes were hazy. He fell back asleep after he finished speaking.Rosalie felt that the situation was amiss. A common fever and cold would not be so serious.She immediately brought a few test tubes, drew two tubes of blood quickly, and called Luther to watch over Byron.Luther was still figh
Byron frowned and cast a cold glance at his mother."Mom, that was an accident. What are you talking about?""Yes, yes, it was an accident. However, you were neglectful enough to let your children go on stage to perform with animals. That's so dangerous. In my honest opinion, Rosalie isn't careful enough when taking care of the children."Byron became angry when his mother was adamant about blaming the woman for everything."Mom, did you come to visit me? Or did you come as an executioner to cast judgment over what happened? If you continue to behave like this, it's best if you don’t come here at all!"Melody was silenced immediately.She did not expect her son to be so harsh to her.She was stunned for a few seconds. She wanted to get angry but held back. "Okay, I won't talk about it. However, I've been thinking about the two boys for the past two days. Can I raise my concerns? Can Rosalie come up with evidence?"Melody put on a calm tone.Byron had no way to escape this. Eve
Byron listened to the woman's blunt tone and hesitated a little.He was worried it would upset her. He explained, "I don't think it's necessary at all, but my mother is too paranoid. If you take offense to it, you don't have to do it."His expression resembled a child who feared making mistakes. Rosalie felt secretly amused, and a smile appeared on her lips."It's okay. We just need to provide some hair or other samples for the test. It won't harm the kids, so why should I object? If I object, won't it give the impression that I’m guilty?"This was not the time to prioritize her ego.Lucian and Nox’s return to the Lawrence family did not revolve around just a simple reconciliation with their father. It meant that they have the right to the Lawrence family inheritance.Rosalie had to fight for the kids’ rights even though money was never her priority.The Lawrence empire was huge. Therefore, a paternity test would be the most direct proof to silence the public.After they agreed
The Quirke family living room.When Andrius saw his younger sister drunk and reeked of alcohol, he immediately frowned and coldly reprimanded her."Andrea, what are you doing? I have entrusted you to take care of all the medicinal material supply companies of the Lancers like you wanted. Somehow, I heard that you haven't even stepped into these companies until now? You’ve been drunk and daydreaming every day; I’ve really misjudged you!"There was a solid ironclad indignation in his tone.Andrea raised her eyebrows, but her intoxicated face had a sly smile. "Did I not manage it? Isn't this the way to manage it? Who do you think I was drinking with? You can shut up if you don’t know, okay?"She did not intend to behave like her brother, always putting on a righteous face and only talking about principles."Do you think that the people in these medical companies are easy to talk to? You have no idea how high the price that b*stard Xander paid them. That idiot had to do ridiculous th
The Lawrence Family Mansion at half past nine in the evening. Benedict finished his tea and was about to go back to his study to read.Suddenly, a car arrived in the yard. Melody got up and took a look, it was the person she was waiting for.Benedict glanced from upstairs. The person who came was Earnest Higgins, the head of the DNA testing agency.Earnest immediately greeted her respectfully as soon as he entered. "Good evening, Madam.""Have a seat, Mr. Higgins." Melody was so gracious, and she even took the initiative to pour tea for him.This made Earnest nervous. He quickly expressed himself. "Madam, if you need my help with anything, please feel free to ask. I will do what I can."As the person in charge of the testing agency, Earnest knew very well that the Lawrence Corporation had no problems acquiring them.A small testing agency was nothing compared to the Lawrence Corporation.He had only met Byron once, that is, the day he signed the purchase contract.However, Ear
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
