The three little kids stared at Gordon as he left.Suddenly, Estie blurted. "Daddy, Mommy, isn't Grandpa very pitiful?"Lucian and Nox hurriedly corrected their younger sister. "Sister, that's not right. Grandpa was never kind to Mommy, so there is nothing to be pitiful about."Estie nodded thoughtfully.Byron and Rosalie did not say anything. There was no need to teach the kids to change their minds, or forcibly hijack their morality.They decided to respect their children’s inner freedom.The family continued their picnic and playing games. They did not leave the park until night fell.......Gordon returned to the cramped small apartment in the dilapidated community. Violet was playing with her mobile phone. The pot and the stove were cold, and nobody cooked.He was disgusted with this woman.Immediately, he complained. "What's going on? You wouldn’t even cook a meal, are you planning to be a rich wife?"Upon hearing this, Violet's face immediately became ferocious. She g
"Mom, pack up and dress up quickly. I'm taking you to meet a VIP!" After scolding her father rudely, Sophie lit a lady's cigarette and sat waiting impatiently.Violet paused for a moment and hurriedly went to the room to change and put on makeup. A person whom her daughter called a VIP must be someone distinguished. She must not let her daughter down.Gordon just frowned throughout the whole time. He felt angry but unable to vent.The reason was, Sophie had a rich second-generation boyfriend, but the relationship fell apart because she was implicated in his debts back then.In the end, she could not even find a job and had to develop abroad.These years, he rarely had contact with his daughter. Occasionally, he could only chat with her briefly from Violet's phone.After a while, Violet dressed up. When she came out, her alluring charm remained.Sophie glanced at her mother and decided she was not too shabby. She immediately took her mother downstairs and got into a Mercedes-Benz
The next day, Byron accompanied Rosalie to the cemetery to pay respect to Mama. Suddenly there was a drizzle in the sky, and the cemetery turned foggy.Byron held an umbrella over Rosalie while half of his body was drenched.She looked at Mama’s picture on the tombstone. It was the first time Mama smiled so happily after being seriously ill.Rosalie still remembered the time she rushed back from school to find her Mama neatly dressed, returning from the photo studio.Mama was smiling and yet the nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes gave Rosalie a bad premonition in her heart.True enough, it did not take long for Mama to come to the end of her exhaustion and passed on.At that time, Rosalie felt that the sky had collapsed. Her mind went blank, and all her support was gone.She could not even remember how many days she went without eating or drinking. She numbly cooperated with Gordon to hold a simple funeral for her mother.From that year on, Rosalie learned to hide everythin
Jonah and Tamsine brought many gifts over.The red wine collection of more than 20 years from F Country Manor; the extremely rare Second-generation Red Canon tea from the south, and the expensive mushrooms picked from the peaks in the southwest...All these fancy dazzling gifts, many of which Rosalie had never seen before.As for the mushrooms, it costs tens of thousands per gram in weight.Rosalie was dumbfounded listening to her mother-in-law Melody and Tamsine's chat. All these thank-you gifts were worth as high as one million.Tamsine kept praising Rosalie in front of Benedict and Melody– For her excellent medical skills, for being so beautiful, for being able to run a huge company, and for giving birth to such cute little ones. She was simply a rare gem of a daughter-in-law.Once more, Melody felt guilty about what her friend said and praised her daughter-in-law as well.Jonah exchanged pleasantries with Benedict and deeply apologized that he could not attend Byron's weddin
Rosalie's heart sank. All the sympathy and compassion for Gordon disappeared in an instant.There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of bitterness, "In that case, the divorce between Gordon and Violet was just a farce. I just don't know why Gordon did all of this?"Byron nodded. At his level, he would not bother about a person like Gordon. He was only worried that his wife would feel sad again because of a father like that."Perhaps, he just wants to get close to you. After all, the wealth you have now is what he covets."There was no need to overanalyze what her husband said. This was the only possibility.At this moment, Rosalie was extremely disappointed. It was impossible to give a father like that any more chances.......A week passed quietly. The frequency of Rosalie's visits to the research institute continued to decrease, but several new drugs developed by the research institute were launched one after another.The pricing of pharmaceutical compa
Sophie was dressed in branded luxury. With heavy makeup on her face, her wrists, neck, and ears are decked in gold and silver, exuding an air of extravagant opulence.She was startled when she saw Rosalie too. Then, she raised her eyebrows and sauntered toward Rosalie with a tiny smirk."Isn't this my dear sister? What a coincidence. Haven't we seen each other for six or seven years?" Sophie's voice was ambiguous and sinister.Rosalie's face was cold, and the expression reflected in her eyes showed that she could not be bothered to talk to her."I heard, you’ve become some kind of tour guide in Southeast Asia, right? How did your dream of being wealthy come true in a blink of an eye?" Rosalie immediately retorted.Beside her, Mr. Loewe and Linda were a little startled. They tried to figure out Sophie's identity. Why would this person dare to be blatantly arrogant to Rosalie?Rosalie gave Linda a wink. Linda nodded immediately and left with Mr. Loewe and the other executives."Si
Rosalie knew that she had lost all composure at this moment.She could possibly be arrested by the police.However, she could not care less. All these years of enmity could only be quelled by a slap in the face.Sophie was dumbstruck by the second slap.This time, the hotel security saw that something was wrong. He was about to move forward to stop Rosalie's actions.Next to him, someone immediately reminded him. "That person. Isn’t it Rosalie Jacobs, the Young Lady of the Lawrence family?""Yeah, how could it be her? I didn't expect her to be so fierce?""Hey you, stop recording! There must be a reason. Something must be wrong with that woman to be slapped by Rosalie Jacobs."The security guards looked at each other after all that whispering. Finally, they hurried over to block the surroundings.They did not dare to get too close either. After all, the ferocious aura emanating from those bodyguards was frightening."Mrs. Lawrence, please calm down! This is public, I am worri
Sophie was shocked and scared. She could care less about her pain and looked at Byron in fear as she said, “I didn't. I'm her sister. It was my sister who misunderstood. Some of it was done by my mother, not me. Brother-in-law, please don’t misunderstand!” She knew Rosalie had Byron backing her up. If she went head-on with Rosalie, she would only be humiliated.Thus, she hoped Byron would let her off with it if she pretended to feel wronged.When Byron heard this, he felt it was ridiculous, and his expression turned gloomier. “I'm not your brother-in-law. Stop addressing me as you wish! My wife has never taken you as her sister.”Rosalie was also startled by Sophie’s shameless reaction, and anger shot through her. “Sophie Jacobs, listen! Even if your last name is Jacobs, I have no sister like you! I won't hesitate to slap you if you dare to repeat something like this.Sophie’s flattering smile froze.She pondered and finally decided. “Alright then. It’s fine that you don’t accep
