The next day was a weekend. Rosalie had originally wanted to spend time with the kids but hurried to the research institute because of Mr. Loewe's phone call.A researcher fainted and stopped breathing because of continuous overtime work. The cause of his sudden death was likely myocarditis.At present, everyone attempted to give first aid. They called the hospital as well.However, Rosalie was closer to the research institute and could arrive faster.She arrived in a hurry and implemented emergency treatment immediately. She managed to resuscitate his heartbeat and saved his life, but there was no sign of consciousness.Rosalie worried about a permanent side effect and immediately took out her silver needles to treat him.When the ambulance arrived, he was finally revived and sent to the hospital."Mr. Loewe, haven’t I mentioned this before? Be sure to keep an eye on everyone’s working hours to avoid excessive overtime. Don’t overwork, including yourself. Our current products a
Therefore, Rosalie decided to be willful and distributed the profits.Chloe could faintly see a fierce business aura that Rosalie emitted and could not help feeling a little nervous.At first, she believed that Rosalie was easy to negotiate and easier to control, so she lowered her stance and gave Rosalie the executive power.‘Great, now my control is gone!’Chloe was very unhappy, but she considered the follow-up. The third phase of the product launch would be the moment when the profits would grow exponentially, so she endured it."However, let's talk about it first. The profit in the third phase must first let our investors recover a certain amount of cost. Alternatively, we could start converting the profits into equity?"As soon as Chloe spoke, Rosalie nodded and agreed to recover the cost.However, Rosalie still disagreed with the conversion of equity shares."Chloe, if we are a good company, it doesn’t matter if we go public or not. Besides, we don't need financing right
"Forget millions or tens of millions! Even several billion meant nothing to me. Chloe Lincoln, do you understand?"As Kelly gnashed her teeth, there was a monstrous hatred in her voice."If I cared about benefits, I wouldn't be so stupid at the beginning. I would just take the initiative and get out of the way. You are way inferior to me. My love for Byron back then was to the point that I didn't care about anything. While you are so easily shaken because of a little money. How pathetic!"Chloe oh Chloe, your so-called love is simply fake. How could a person like you deserve Byron?"These cruel words hit Chloe like daggers.Chloe trembled slightly, trying to stand up but could not find any excuses.Yes, true enough, as Kelly said, she began to enjoy the sense of accomplishment in her career. She even slowly comforted herself and let go of her obsession with Byron.Chloe was silent for a long time, and now she has no choice.She completely fell into Kelly’s trap."You still hav
Beatrice was sitting on the ground when Andrius arrived. She folded up the trousers of her cycling jersey, revealing her glowing alabaster skin.She happily waved to Andrius. "Andrius, I'm here."Every time Andrius saw her smiling face, he could feel her vigorously youthful vitality.He hurriedly got out of the car and walked over with the small first aid kit.At a glance, her knee appeared to be badly scratched, bleeding heavily and bruised all over.The front wheel of the bicycle next to her had been deformed."I didn't notice that it's going downhill here, so it was too fast. A random rock popped up, and my bike turned sideways as it went over the rock, so I fell!" Beatrice smiled playfully.She was easily approachable to the opposite sex.Andrius quickly took out the kit, helped her do a simple cleaning and disinfection, and then wrapped the wound with gauze.In the process, Beatrice was so physically close to Andrius that the faint floral scent on her body kept wafting in
Mary was weeding, but the weeds in her heart grew wildly.When she came back to her senses, she realized that Andrius had agreed to a meal at home.She was a little excited.Her mother noticed all her tiny reactions completely.Andrius ate the meal with gusto, probably because of the special Northwestern cuisine.Auntie Wilson and Andrius were chatting throughout the meal, and Auntie Wilson asked plenty about Andrius's family situation.Mary felt so embarrassed.However, she noticed that Andrius did not seem to mind.After the meal, Andrius praised Auntie Wilson's cooking again.Mary called out to Andrius before he left, with a slight seriousness on her face. "Did you take all your medication on time?""Yes, I’m almost recovered. My stomach feels a lot better recently, unlike the burning feeling I used to have." Andrius suddenly smiled and thanked Mary.However, Mary still maintained her restraint and asked him to have another checkup in the next two days.Andrius nodded, b
That night, when Rosalie returned from the research institute, she saw the three little ones pouting their lips in displeasure.Especially Estelle, who looked angry as she said, “Mommy, you promised to take me to the design exhibition, but you were too busy! In the end, it was Daddy who took me there."“Estie, please don’t be mad at Mommy. Mommy was busy at work. She's a miracle doctor with such a big research institute to manage. It’s hard not to be busy with so much work.”“Yeah, Sis. We can ask Mommy to compensate us by taking us somewhere else the next time, okay?”Both the boys were explaining on Rosalie’s behalf and coaxing Estelle.Rosalie felt bad. She squatted and apologized to Estelle.“It’s my fault. I forgot the deal I had with you. It’s a terrible mistake. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”Her motive was to show a good example to her kids.Estelle was only unhappy and did not expect Rosalie to apologize so seriously. She immediately shook her head and pounced into Ros
Byron knew they did not invite Rosalie’s parents.It was because he had noticed that Rosalie never mentioned her parents.Byron had tried asking Lucian and Nox, but they had never seen their grandparents from Rosalie’s side either.This meant Rosalie was trying to avoid having anything to do with her family.It made Byron recall what had happened years ago. Byron and Rosalie married for the first time because Rosalie’s parents wanted money.To be precise, it was her father and her stepmother.“Dad, Mom, I think you shouldn't rush into things on this matter. Rosie’s family is a little complicated, and they might be unable to attend the wedding.”Byron felt Rosalie might have no feelings for her father and stepmother.Thus, looking for Rosalie’s father and stepmother might not be a good idea. Benedict and Rosalie looked at each other.A memory of the past struck them when Byron said this.Then, they realized what he meant.“Now I remember! Rosie’s father, Gordon Jacobs, had
On the ground floor of Sherot City Plaza in Coast City, the biggest official store under the Petal Talk Group Rosalie established was holding its opening ceremony at 9.00 a.m. A few hundred people were already queuing outside the store.Their queue had blocked other stores on the same floor.Many other branded stores from abroad were envious of Petal Talk's many customers. When the staff heard rumors about Petal Talk opening a few more stores in Coast City, they even considered resigning and applying for a job at Petal Talk.To deal with the customers, Chloe arrived at the store early and was in the storeroom, counting the stocks.They had only produced a few thousand sets of products, which were insufficient to sell.At her order, the employees put on a smile and opened the door of the store. The customers gushed into the store like a tsunami wave.“Dear customers, please line up. We'll distribute number tickets. Please don’t cut queues or push around. Each customer is allowed
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
