In a suite in the Crescent Valley Luxurious Hotel, Gordon and Violet were busy answering calls and replying to messages.Gordon had been listed as an untrustworthy client because of debt evasion after bankruptcy. Thus, he faced restrictions on his spending.He would not even be able to get into a fancy hotel like this.Fortunately, his son-in-law owned this hotel, and he did not need to register with his identification card.Of course, this was also a chance for the creditors to leave him alone.He had a debt of tens of millions! With his current ability, he would not be able to return the money even if he worked for a lifetime.Therefore, when the creditors heard that his daughter was going to marry the president of Lawrence Corporation, the creditors gave him some time to think of ways to get the money.Most of them even started to treat him politely.After all, Gordon would not need to worry about glory and wealth if he became in-laws with the Lawrence family.The relatives
“Gordon, no matter how the Lawrence family reacts, we must ask for the betrothal gift this time. Last time, Byron divorced Rosie before we could even be happy about her marriage. We shouldn't go easy on them!”Violet instigated her husband, thinking about how much would be suitable.The betrothal gift did not need to be much. It just had to be enough for them to get a house, car, and anything else.Gordon nodded. “Of course, I know this. Rosie’s mother passed away early. After all, she was raised by me. How can she get married without any etiquette?”“Do you think 30 million is too much?” Violet’s eyes glowed with greediness.“That's not too much. I'd like to see how much they'll offer. The more they give, the better.” Gordon was already planning deep down.After discussing this, they finally decided to meet Rosalie first.They did not have Rosalie’s mobile phone number. Just as they were worried, Violet came up with something and searched for Petal Talk’s official number.The
She arrived at the hotel and went straight to Gordon's room.Rosalie was prepared with her words and also anticipated their possible requests.However, the moment Gordon opened the door, Rosalie was slightly startled.‘Is this man in front of me my father?’Compared to six years ago, the man had become a lot thinner. His face no longer glowed like before but had become shriveled and sallow. His forehead was covered with wrinkles.His hair also became very short, probably because there were more grays than before."Rosalie?" Gordon's eyes showed excitement.They had not met for so many years. She would not know if the emotions were genuine either.Immediately, his gaze turned a little timid. He looked at Byron and nodded. "Hello, Mr. Lawrence.""Hello, Mr. Jacobs." Byron's attitude was a little cold. He just glanced at the man briefly, then turned away to look at his wife.Rosalie suddenly felt a lot calmer when she saw how humble her father was.Immediately, Violet came over
Gordon nodded and opened the door.After Rosalie and Byron walked into the living room, they saw two sets of formal wear neatly laid out on the sofa. They were obviously prepared for tomorrow's wedding."Why didn't the children come too? I'm such an incompetent grandfather!" Gordon was very attentive. He quickly poured two glasses of water for them and carefully handed the glasses over.Immediately, he turned around and entered the room.Violet’s eyes had been examining Rosalie. She was very envious of Rosalie's confidence and calmness in her gestures.‘I don’t get it. My daughter, Sophie, is obviously better in terms of appearance, and her friends are all either rich or noble. Yet, she's still single now and can only be a worthless tour guide.‘As for my son, Ethan, he once dated a wealthy young lady, but the relationship fell apart in the end.’The more she thought about it, the more intense Violet’s jealousy was. That resentment was heavy on her heart, yet there was still a g
Rosalie did not believe their nonsense at all.‘Why put on such a humble posture?‘How did you treat me back then? During that ten years, did you ever treat me as your daughter?Your current behavior is just a scheme.'No matter what, Rosalie did not want them to be involved with anything in her life at all."I've received your kindness. You don't have to attend the wedding." She had no hesitation and did not intend to give Violet any face.Hearing this, Violet froze completely.Gordon's face became gloomier. His body trembled slightly as he was suppressing his anger.His daughter had changed completely from the inside out.Originally, he thought that by pretending to be miserable, he could win her sympathy.Now, it seemed that her heart was set in stone."If that's the case, then we won’t go. Mr. Lawrence, we won’t be here to delay your wedding. Let's go now—"Gordon looked at Byron's reaction. The younger man was completely indifferent. He made no statement and did not in
Six years ago, Gordon got the money and never attended the first wedding.Now, he wanted to attend the wedding when he could not get any money.Rosalie firmly believed that his ultimate goal was money.Today, Rosalie was allowed to vent her long-drawn resentment of over ten years by punishing Violet severely.Back at the villa, Rosalie personally called Melody. She told her that she had drawn a clear line with Gordon and she was not willing to let him attend the wedding.There was no need to entertain these people in the future.Melody was relieved to hear that her daughter-in-law went to solve the problem herself.In turn, she reassured her daughter-in-law that as part of the Lawrence family, she would no longer be bullied by anyone.The two chatted a while more. Then, Melody repeatedly apologized for the many things that had happened before.Rosalie had come to terms with this long ago."Rosalie, I made so many mistakes because I was so foolish, arrogant, and prejudiced. Af
Nothing could compare with the festive atmosphere of a traditional wedding.At 3:30 in the morning, Rosalie, with light makeup, wore a classic bridal gown. Her head was covered with a veil, which also covered her sight and gave her a sense of anticipation.She was anticipating Byron lifting her veil.The close relatives of the Lawrence family rushed over to help. The entire manor was lively, full of chatter and laughter.The three little kids entered Mommy’s room while laughing and chasing each other.Lucian and Nox were both dressed in festive tuxedos, while Estie wore a beautiful flower girl dress. They chattered in front of Rosalie."Mommy, your bridal outfit is really beautiful. Can I see your face?" Estie asked curiously.In the end, Lucian and Nox stopped her. "No, you can't take off Mommy’s veil. Daddy has to come and lift it.""Yes, traditional weddings have many customs and practices. Everything is so bright and festive!"The kids developed a lot of interest in the va
There were more guests for the contemporary wedding in the afternoon. After all, the open space of the manor was far larger than a football field.Numerous luxury cars arrived one after another, bringing together the world's top figures.The wedding decor was also very beautifully arranged. Dry ice and mist machines created an otherworldly atmosphere, like a fairy tale.Every invited guest had an extraordinary background, local and abroad.The moment Rosalie put on the wedding dress and appeared, she was so beautiful that the countless ladies and men present were envious.Many people had only one thought in their minds—‘Only Rosalie is worthy of Byron.’They were a perfect match, whether in terms of appearance, image, temperament, or ability.Of course, there were plenty of surprises for the wedding.Lucian and Nox, accompanied by security personnel, floated from the sky in a hot air balloon and sprinkled countless flower petals like confetti.As for Estie, she wore an etherea
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
