After a long silence, Byron broke the silence coldly, "As you wish." Rosalie nodded and went upstairs to tell Estie to come down. The three children were in Lucian and Nox's bedroom and looked dejected. The atmosphere in the bedroom was somber. Lucian and Nox were playing with a robot in their hands, while Estie buried her face in her doll's stomach. They were all staring into space. The three children looked over in unison when they heard the door opening. Rosalie's heart softened when she met the children’s hopeful gazes. Thinking of the man downstairs, she steeled her heart and said softly, "Estie, your father is here to pick you up." Hearing this, the three children were all stunned. Estie opened her eyes blankly and hugged the doll in her arms. Rosalie lowered her eyes and repeated awkwardly, "Your father is waiting downstairs, come down quickly." After speaking, she waited silently at the door. "Auntie..." Estie's timid voice piped up reluctantly. Rosalie fo
The door of the house slowly closed, and Estie disappeared from Rosalie's sight. Rosalie took a deep breath and suppressed her sudden tears. Her heart was full of reluctance at the thought of parting with the little girl. During this time, it was clear that Estie had taken a liking to them. What was more, her condition had improved rapidly after staying with them. If possible, Rosalie also wanted to take care of the little girl until her condition improved, and she looked forward to nothing more than a single coherent sentence from her. However, such an opportunity no longer existed... Lucian and Nox followed them downstairs and saw that their Mommy wanted to send little Estie away. Although they were reluctant, they did not say anything. Seeing that their Mommy was so sad now, the boys burrowed into Rosalie's arms, hugging her from both sides as they comforted her, "Don't be sad, Mommy, we will always be with you!" Rosalie felt the softness in her arms, and her heart slo
"If nothing unexpected happens, I can spare some time tomorrow to examine the patient's condition." Rosalie thought about her work schedule for the past few days and made this suggestion. Leon came back to his senses, nodded quickly, and agreed, "Okay, thank you for your help. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me." Rosalie smiled, "You have also helped me a lot when we were abroad, and it is a doctor's duty to treat patients. Since you think I am capable, then I have an obligation." The two discussed briefly and set a time for Rosalie to see the patient. At noon the next day, Rosalie finished her work at the research institute, so she made an appointment with Leon to meet at the hospital gate. "I told my family in advance that no one but me will be on bedside duty today, so don't be stressed." After the meeting, Leon took her to the ward. On the hospital bed, the old man's hair had been shaved, and he was still in a coma. It was a sudden illness, so h
Before she knew it, the operation took more than seven hours. At the same time, almost all the children had left the kindergarten, and there were only three children left. Although Estie was no longer staying with them, Lucian and Nox treated her as usual in kindergarten. Seeing that no one came to pick her up, the two boys brought Estie to build a sandcastle in the sand pit and had a great time. When Byron arrived, he saw three children squatting on the sand, and the small playground in the kindergarten was full of their laughter. "Estie," When the three children finished laughing, Byron stepped forward and called his daughter. Estie looked at the two boys and reluctantly got up after a long time. Byron frowned and looked at Lucian and Nox, "Where's your mommy?" Although the two boys had decided that they did not like him anymore, they still stood up politely. Lucian pursed his lips and tilted his head to look at the small pile of sand they had just piled up, ignorin
When Rosalie came out of the operating theater, it was already dark. Seeing the sky outside, Rosalie suddenly remembered that she seemed to have missed the time to pick up the little ones. She only had time to change her clothes and hurried to the kindergarten. As she walked to the gate of the kindergarten, she could only see a man standing by the bench with one hand in his pocket from the distance. Three children surrounded each other, each holding a hamburger in their hands, bowing their heads down, and eating seriously. Rosalie paused at this sight. As if he felt her gaze on him, Byron raised his eyes and looked over, then lowered his head and said something to the children. The three children looked up at the same time and ran to her side with their unfinished hamburgers in hand. Rosalie crouched down apologetically and touched the heads of her sons, "I'm sorry, Mommy is late." Lucian and Nox had long been used to it, and they nodded forgivingly when they heard her ap
Back at the villa, Lisa was waiting for them to return home. The dinner she had prepared was ready for a long time, but there was no sight of them. When she finally saw them entering the door, she stepped forward with a worried look on her face, "Miss, why are you so late today?" Rosalie forced a smile, "It's nothing. I had to work a little late, that’s why. I’ll leave the children in your care. I'm a little tired, so I'll go to bed first." Seeing that her face was very haggard, Lisa hurriedly agreed. Rosalie exchanged a few words with the two boys and then went back to her room. The next morning, Lisa prepared breakfast as usual, but Rosalie did not come down. However, the two boys went downstairs by themselves and even wash themselves up. "You guys eat first, I'll go take a look at your Mommy." Lisa felt a little worried when she thought of Rosalie's haggard appearance yesterday. Hearing that, the two boys stopped her and said, "No need, Mommy will be very tired every
Byron was standing by the side. Estie refused to go back with him until she saw Rosalie, so he waited here with the little girl. However, he did not expect to hear such news. Estie grabbed his sleeve anxiously, "Auntie..." Reading her thoughts, Byron asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Miss Jacobs?" Lisa did not know anything about the conflict between them, so she replied without hesitation, "Miss Jacobs came back yesterday and something was wrong. I thought she was tired, but I didn't expect her to start running a temperature at noon today. I have to go back quickly to take care of her." After speaking, she was ready to leave with the two little boys. Lucian and Nox even forgot to say goodbye to Estie and hurriedly turned and left. Seeing this, Estie's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she kept murmuring for her "Auntie" in a low voice. Seeing the little girl's worry, Byron fell silent for a long time. Nevertheless, he took the little girl into the car and aske
Rosalie hesitated. She did not want to have too much contact with Byron. However, she had to admit that this was the best solution. After a moment of hesitation, Rosalie nodded and agreed, "Alright." Byron nodded. Rosalie made the two boys get off the bed and got out of the bed by herself. Unexpectedly, she felt the world around her spinning as soon as she stood up. Fortunately, she was still beside the bed. After staggering a few times, she managed to stand upright."I'll help you down." Lisa hurriedly stepped forward to help. Suddenly, everything within Rosalie's sight went pitch black. It was only after a while before she regained clarity and nodded weakly. Lisa went over to support her, and she managed to take two steps. The three children followed beside nervously. Rosalie really had no strength. She balanced her entire body weight on Lisa, causing Lisa to struggle to walk. Seeing this, the three children stretched out their hands to help. Just as they stretch
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
