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 paternity test results would normally take about three days.However, Earnest made the employees work overtime, and it was finished early the next morning."It is a genetic match. The probability of parentage is greater than 99.99 percent."Earnest thought about it after getting the results.‘Does Madam want a positive or negative result?‘Probably negative, otherwise, there is no need to see me in private. I could have just issued the normal results accordingly.’Earnest thought about it and quickly called Melody.At this moment, Melody had just woken up. She became nervous when she saw Earnest calling."Good morning, madam. I'm Earnest Higgins. The test result is out.""Tell me quick, what's the result? Are those two kids my son's flesh and blood?" Melody was a little impatient.Earnest paused for a while and read through the description printed on the paternity certificate once more.Finally, he concluded. "This result confirms the parent-child relationship! The two c
