Rosalie and Byron walked to the 16th building as written on the address.It was a villa with three-and-a-half stories that was located in the suburbs and cost less than ten million.Outside the villa was a yard surrounded by an iron fence. Lights were brightly lit on the second floor, and Violet was obviously still awake.Rosalie put on a gloomy expression and rang the doorbell.Before long, someone shouted from inside, “Who's at the door in the middle of the night?”Rosalie’s pupils constricted, alarmed. It was a male’s voice, and she was familiar with it. That man must be Ethan.Ethan smelled like alcohol as he approached the gate. When he saw Rosalie’s face through the bars, he was startled. Then, he saw Byron, who had a cold expression on his face.The husband and wife could see Ethan’s expression changing under the dim streetlight.“Rosalie? Why are you here at this hour?” Ethan’s voice sounded less aggressive than just now. He seemed more sober.“Open the gate. I came to
Violet rushed downstairs and saw a group of people in the dark. She was shocked and started yelling at them.“What do you want? I've already called the police! Get out of here!“Violet, do you think you have the right to call the police after what you've done?”The bodyguards made way for Rosalie to approach Violet.When Violet saw Rosalie and Byron, her expression changed, and she was flustered.“Rosalie, what are you trying to do?” She sounded guilty as she looked at her son’s condition.Although she did not see blood, Ethan was baring his teeth in pain and was drenched in a cold sweat.Violet dared not approach him or even look into Rosalie’s eyes.“Violet, you're really shameless and ruthless! You're a homewrecking mistress who chased my mother away. You even instigated your children to bully me. None of these matters now, however. But how dare you murder my mother?! Don’t you feel guilty about it?”Step by step, Rosalie walked toward Violet. She could no longer suppress h
The pain stimulation through dry needling did not last long. After a few minutes, Violet climbed up from the ground. Clusters of snow were stuck on her face as she looked at Rosalie in fear.“Violet, if you don’t want to experience this pain again, you’d better be honest. How did you poison my mother back then?”Rosalie was still burning in anger deep down as she glared at Violet.At the same time, Byron had turned on the recorder.Violet sat on the ground as she said, “Rosalie, I didn't do it. Gordon is dying, and he wants to frame me.”Her expression changed vaguely.Looking at the murderous bodyguards in front of her and looking at her son’s broken arms, she suddenly realized something.With Rosalie’s current ability, Rosalie could indeed destroy her and her family.Not to mention she had the Lawrence family backing her up.Admitting it did not seem to matter anymore.As she pondered about it, she sneered.Rosalie and Byron spotted that.“Why would Gordon frame you? Quit
“So what if it’s me? Do you have proof?”Violet sneered smugly, not intending to lie anymore.After Rosalie attacked her, her anger grew and she had no place to vent it.Only by looking at Rosalie getting angry could she ease the rage in her.They could hurt her again, but she knew Rosalie would not dare to kill her.She lifted her eyebrows. Sensing that she could move her arms, she wiped her face and slowly stood up. “Rosalie, your mother has been dead for more than ten years. Can you find any proof now? Even if you know I did it, so what? Hahaha... You can continue to use your needles and make me suffer from the pain. Maybe I'll be healthier after the stimulation.”Rosalie was startled.She had endless rage burning in her like a volcano erupting.At the last moment of her outbreak, she was suffocated by something.No one could be more evil than Violet in words or actions.For the first time, she knew what it felt like to be so angry that her heart ached.She could barely b
Rosalie dragged her weary body back to the manor.Byron brought her a cup of warm water. After getting her to take a sip of water, he brought a mug of hot chocolate for her.“Honey, what you need to do now is to calm down. We need to figure it out together and find enough evidence. By the way, Gordon might have found out something. We’ll go back tomorrow and talk to him to make him recall as many details as possible.”Byron was calm. Now, he had confirmed that his mother-in-law was murdered after being poisoned by Violet. However, he needed witnesses and evidence.“Hubby, we have to file a case first. So, I’ve decided to get a forensic team to examine my mother’s body!”Tears rolled down Rosalie’s cheeks when she suggested this.Her mother was in so much pain before she died. Rosalie did not expect they would have to dig out her body and examine her again after death.Everything was because of Gordon.According to Rosalie’s memory, before the homewrecker managed to replace her
Byron told the housekeeper to calm down and dialed Luther’s number. He ordered Luther to go to Gordon’s place and prepare for the funeral.That night, Rosalie refused to go over. She did not want to see her scumbag father, even for the last time.Byron chatted with his wife all night until it was dawn, and they finally fell asleep.Even after Rosalie dozed off, Byron still gently held her.After a short nap, the couple woke up.After all, many things had to be done.Benedict and Melody learned about Gordon’s death, yet they did not feel sorry or sad about it. They wondered why Gordon would choose to commit suicide. Did he do it out of remorse for his first wife, or was he trying to protect his mistress?“Dad, Mom, we plan to make Gordon’s funeral simple. There’s no need to announce it! We'll bury him tomorrow right after getting all the things done!” Rosalie told them her thoughts.“Alright. Let the kids take a day off from school. They should go and send him off. Gordon was th
The funeral was simple.That night, Rosalie stayed back in the house where the body was. She suddenly felt emotions gushing through her.Now that Gordon had died, she no longer had parents.She felt sadness surging through her as she thought about this.As a doctor, she had seen too many deaths. She tried to restrain her emotions, but she felt too sorry for herself.Byron returned after sending the kids back home.Looking into that man’s gentle gaze dispersed her negative emotions.The two of them sat by the coffin, guarding it. The temperature dropped gradually, and Byron draped two coats over Rosalie’s shoulder.A while later, Benedict and Melody returned and said, “Luther is watching after the kids, and the bodyguards are around. They'll be fine.”Rosalie was grateful for what Byron’s parents had done for her.They came to accompany her even at late hours like this.“Dad, Mom, it’s too cold here. Why don’t you go home? Byron and I can manage it here. Everything will be se
Byron had been accompanying Rosalie all along. He could be there for Rosalie if she was tired.When they got home, the children seemed quiet and came to hug Rosalie.“Mommy, go get some rest. We'll be good and won’t make any noise!” Estelle said as she touched Rosalie’s belly, comforting her twin siblings.Lucian and Nox nodded, promising they would look after Estelle.Rosalie took a nap until it was eight at night. Melody came to call her for dinner.When she went downstairs, there were many people in the living room.The Quirke family was there. Andrius was with his father and mother.Lucas, Jonah, and Tamsine from the Montgomery family were also there.Even Mary and Camelia were in the living room.The ladies approached Rosalie once they saw her and expressed their condolences.“Rosie, did you sleep well? Your eyes are puffy. Quickly eat something. I brought some nutritious food for you. You should eat some to replenish your nutrition!” Clara was anxious and concerned.Ta
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
