After dinner, Byron went to his parents’ mansion with Rosalie.Six years ago, Rosalie was here. At that time, as the granddaughter-in-law of the Lawrence family, Rosalie came to pay respect to Grandpa.There were lush flowers and plants as they entered the yard. Benedict was casually watering the garden.He greeted the couple with a smile upon seeing Byron appear with Rosalie."Hello, Uncle Benedict," Rosalie called out affectionately. After all, the grandfather's attitude towards his two grandsons always made her feel at ease."Dad, I'm here to wait for the results of the paternity test." Byron reached out, offering to help water the flowers, but Benedict waved him away.He smiled knowingly as he looked at his son. "Your mother has been waiting so hard for this result. It seems that it is in line with her wishes."There was something in these words, even Rosalie could hear it.Of course, Byron understood his father's reminder and acknowledged him. "I will take care of it."Me
"President Lawrence, I followed up on the entire testing process. The samples were accurate. I sent the results right away once they came out!"Earnest was overwhelmed by Byron's imposing aura.However, the greed for 10 million dollars made him bite the bullet and respond against his better judgment."Are you sure there is no parent-child relationship?" Melody's voice was tepid.Her eyes were still on Rosalie.Rosalie’s lack of response does not mean she would not. She had to make good use of it at the right moment.Earnest looked at Melody and nodded to confirm."Byron, the result is out. You see, it isn’t me who's unwilling to accept those two boys. If I could, I would love to be their grandma. Am I right?"From her son's full-blown anger, Melody felt that this was an opportunity.She wanted to direct her son's anger to Rosalie.Byron frowned and glanced at his mother. "Mom, do you think this is the real test result?""How could this be false? If you don't even believe the
Suddenly, the hall fell into a deathly silence.Byron’s gaze has not yet turned to his mother.He did not even want to see his mother's reaction anymore.Obviously, chances had already been given.How could he not know how long the test results would take? How could he not detect Earnest Higgin’s actions?Even Rosalie understood him and never resisted, leaving the paternity test to his mother.Not to mention, his father’s text message.[Son, your mother is stubborn! However, I hope you can give her a chance to make up for her mistakes next time!]The text message was sent yesterday. His father did not even mention the paternity test, but he had already expected that his mother would never accept the real result easily.His father even interceded for his mother.Earnest was so frightened that he kept trembling. He reached into his pocket, took out another folded report, and handed it to Byron with his head down."President Lawrence, I…I am blinded... It's all my fault, I made
Rosalie did not say a word through it all.Byron looked at Earnest. "Pack your things and get out!"There was an undeniable coldness in those eyes.Earnest dared not say more. It was already a great favor to avoid being imprisoned, so he left as fast as he could.Melody stared blankly at the real report, then raised her eyes to Rosalie."Rosalie—"Even her address has changed."It's all my fault. I'm narrow-minded. I've wronged you and the two children. Rosalie, please talk to Byron. I promise to change from now on. I know I was wrong...”With Melody's character, she would never bow down unless she has to.When she heard that she would be sent away to Europe for three to five years, she became really scared.However, Rosalie's expression did not change at all. Her eyes were still indifferent."Auntie Melody, I'm sorry. It's not up to me to decide."With that said, Rosalie could not stand to be there and walked out of the hall.Benedict was still watering the flowers in the
Byron took Rosalie and headed to the kindergarten to pick the kids up. The kids cheered because their Daddy finally recovered from his cold and fever."Daddy, I have pocket money. I'll treat you to dinner today, okay? You just fell sick and need something delicious." Estie blinked her beautiful eyes as if she had made up her mind."Where did you get your pocket money? Didn’t Grandpa put all your birthday allowance into your savings?" Byron asked curiously.Rosalie also found it interesting. She missed so many moments of her daughter's growth, immediately picked her up, and asked, "Estie, have you saved a lot of birthday allowance?"Estie nodded proudly. "So much birthday allowance, so many zeros. Grandpa helped to keep them. My pocket money now is from helping other children make cards, and they gave me money.""Oh, really?" Byron looked at Lucian and Nox for confirmation.The little ones nodded.Lucian replied, "The cards made by Estie are very beautiful. Many children buy thei
Byron pretended not to hear. He drank his tea and looked at the work items on his mobile phone.Lucian and Nox heard that it was for them. They could not help but look at each other, then looked at Mommy.They could not figure it out. A while ago, Grandma was cold to them, saying that they were not Daddy's children. Now she wanted to give them clothes and toys.Estie was curious, walked over, and asked, "Grandma, you bought these for my brothers, don't you have mine?"Melody was extremely embarrassed because only Estie responded to her. She quickly explained to Estie with a smile. "Today I went to a clothing store for boys. Grandma will get you something else another time, okay?"Estie nodded and asked again, "Grandma, are you willing to accept my two older brothers now? Have you noticed that they look more and more like Daddy?"A child’s words are often the simplest and true.In the past, Melody was never willing to admit the truth. Now that Estie said it, she could not help bu
"Byron, Rosalie, I'll go home first. I'll come back another day to see the kids!"Byron was in the study, while Rosalie was in the bathroom. Melody walked to the second floor and yelled out.After a few seconds, no one responded.A wry smile appeared on the corner of Melody's mouth. This was what she deserved.Unexpectedly, Rosalie had just washed Estie's hair. She wiped her hands and ran out to the yard."Auntie Melody, drive carefully at night! Next time you come, you can take Lucian and Nox out for fun." Rosalie was not just being polite; her eyes were sincere.Melody froze for a moment. She nodded and responded with a smile. "Okay, then I'll come back next time."After sending Melody away, Rosalie went back to the second floor to prepare towels and clothes for Lucian and Nox.The man came out of the study room, reached out, and wiped the sweat off Rosalie's forehead. "Honey, you've worked hard!""No big deal, I’m only helping Estie take a bath. Once Estie gets older, she w
Chloe was in a puzzle. Melody was a woman of etiquette, but she was now being a little impolite by applying a face mask before her guest.However, on second thought, it meant Melody took her as family instead of a guest. That was why Melody did not pay much attention to etiquette.Noticing Benedict was still around, she smiled and said, “Uncle Benedict, I brought delicious fruits. I’ll go and wash them!”Benedict immediately rejected her kindness and went to wash the fruits himself.He knew what was on Chloe’s mind. She was trying to use this excuse to create some space for her and Melody.It made him wonder what Chloe wanted to say to his wife.He hoped his wife would not make the same silly mistake again, just like what she did about Wendy’s crush on Byron.Chloe smiled and looked at Melody when Benedict entered the kitchen.Her purpose was simple. She wanted Melody’s help to give her a chance to get along with Byron.She even had a great excuse for it.“Aunt Melody, I got
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
