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
It was getting late.Rosalie noticed the two elders were tired and told them to go to bed early.After all, young people could occasionally stay up late, but older people needed more rest. Otherwise, it might disrupt their sleeping schedule.Benedict and Melody nodded and told Rosalie to rest early too.However, Rosalie was unable to sleep. After dealing with her father’s death, she wanted to plan the investigation of her mother’s death.Before long, Luther hurried to the manor.He reported everything he knew after he entered the manor. The villa Violet and her son lived in belonged to Sophie. It was now listed for sale in the real estate company.“They want to flee?” Byron frowned and said coldly, “Purchase the villa and remember to delay the procedure. Pay part of the deposit. As long as they don't get all the money, they'll be reluctant to leave.”Although he could prevent others from buying, they might be able to control the situation better if they were the buyers. By then
Byron took Rosalie to the entrance of the cemetery, so that she did not have to see the process of them digging up her mother's grave.“Honey, don’t worry. These officers are very professional. They just need some bones for the investigation. When they're done investigating, they'll place them back like how they were before. They won’t go missing!” Byron comforted her.Rosalie was not superstitious, but she had something in her mind.“Hubby, can we move my mother’s grave after the investigation? Although I don’t think my dad deserves to be buried with my mom, my mom loved my dad all her life. That’s why she had no regrets. In fact, if she had been willing to give up on him, her life might have turned out differently!”Byron nodded. Moving the grave was fine. This cemetery was small, and it was far from the manor. It might be inconvenient for Rosalie to visit her.After nearly three hours, Detective Carter walked over with a group of police officers.They nodded at Byron and Rosal
Byron was really worried. His wife's mood swings in the past few days had been erratic. She was so angry that she collapsed, recovered after the collapse, then immediately collapsed again. He was worried that this repeated cycle would take a toll on her body.While his wife waited for the news at home, he went to the police station in person to urge progress.Fortunately, the arrest warrant was officially issued. Four police officers went to the suburban villa and soon brought Violet back to the police station.At present, Violet could only be called a suspect. She was ordered to cooperate with the investigation.She could only be detained for only 24 hours.At the police station, there was a lack of fear on Violet’s face. She had a smug sneer when she only saw Byron but not Rosalie."You can’t place any charges on me without any evidence. It’s pointless no matter how you investigate."Violet was so blatantly arrogant that even the police officers were a little irritated. They b
Rosalie's mood calmed down a little.Byron deeply considered Detective Carter's input, so he asked for some details about his mother-in-law before her death.Rosalie tried her best to recall.At that time, she was too young as she was just around five to six years old. Her memory was vague.She only remembered that her mother had been ill for a long time. However, every time she came home from kindergarten, her mother would smile sweetly and cook all kinds of delicious food for her.Her mother adored flowers and had a lot of potted plants, so many flower pots filled the entire yard.As a result, Rosalie felt that her childhood was accompanied by the fragrance of flowers all year round.At that time, Gordon had just started his business and built a small factory. He often went outstation, and when he came back, he always brought back many small souvenirs and snacks from various places for Rosalie.He would also buy her mom a lot of gifts. Each time, it would be either clothes or
In the police station, Detective Carter drank twice as much coffee to refresh himself. Then, he instructed the police officers to take Violet back to the detention room and stop the interrogation.Immediately, Detective Carter called for a discussion with the two police officers who were interrogating her.However, the results were dismal.Violet was so psychologically tough. Her expression was calm no matter what kind of question was asked.Detective Carter had been observing the changes in her pupils during the interrogation.There was still nothing."I have met suspects like this. Due to all the crimes they've committed, all their guilty conscience and morality have been spent. In their subconsciousness, they convince themselves by self-hypnosis, forcibly suppressing the truth by carving an alternate memory in which they're innocent. Therefore, they can act as if they didn't do it when facing interrogation.”Detective Carter taught the two young police officers.Then, he add
This afternoon, Andrea Quirke, Andrius' younger sister, hurried back from the north.Andrius and Mary went to the airport to pick her up.It had been a long time since Andrius saw her. He was somewhat taken aback when he finally saw her.Even Mary, who was merely an acquaintance of Andrea, found that Andrea had lost a lot of weight.However, she did not look haggard. Instead, she looked accomplished and strong.Andrea smiled when she saw Mary. She rushed over and hugged her."Hello, Sister-in-law. Forgive me for coming back so late. I was delayed because my project just happened to be in a critical period!"Mary was stunned as she felt Andrea's tight hug. She was not sure if she should return the hug or not.As Mary’s arms hovered in mid-air for a few seconds, they finally landed on Andrea's back. She patted her back lightly."It's okay. Everyone's very happy that you've come back!" Mary said with a smile.Such a warm hug puzzled Andrius a little.Immediately afterward, her
Not long after, Lucas and Chloe also came to help.Since Auntie Tamsine's illness was gradually recovering, Lucas' personality had also undergone many changes. He was not as dull as before but slightly carefree and nonsensical.He punched Andrius as he walked up to him. "We made a pact to be single, but you secretly got hitched. How sneaky!"Andrius raised his eyebrows. "If you, Master Montgomery, wanted to get married, the line of women who'd want you would stretch from one end of Coast City to the other. You said it yourself, no?""Really? When did I spew such arrogant nonsense? Hahaha..." Lucas laughed.Then, he came to Byron and Rosalie's side. He immediately restrained himself and asked with concern, "Byron, Sister-in-law, is there anything I can do for you now?"He must be talking about Rosalie's mother.Rosalie shook her head. "Even the police haven't found a breakthrough yet, so there's no rush. Thank you for your concern, Lucas."However, Byron squinted his eyes and sh
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
