After dinner, Rosalie and Yves separated and went home respectively.When Rosalie returned, Lisa had already picked the boys up. They were sitting on the carpet with Lego blocks.Seeing her come in, two boys greeted her happily.Rosalie caressed their heads and asked with concern, "Have you eaten?"The kids nodded obediently and looked at their mommy eagerly. "Mommy, Miss Leigh Ann said she’ll be taking us out to plant trees this weekend."Rosalie was stunned when they brought this up. She smiled at the boys as she glanced down at them. "Yes, I know about it too."After saying that, she went into the living room as if nothing had happened. The boys followed their mommy step by step all the way to the carpeted area of the living room.Rosalie crouched down and fiddled with the Lego blocks that the boys were putting together. She looked a little troubled.She had been thinking the entire journey back, and her final conclusion was the same. As long as she participated, she would
Lawrence Manor.Byron had gone to fetch Estelle back. Only then did he see the message in the group chat. He frowned for a bit.The little girl had been looking at him the entire journey home just now as if she had something she wanted to say.It should have something to do with this tree planting activity."Are you guys going to be having a tree planting activity?" Byron took the initiative to ask during dinner.Hearing her daddy actually bringing it by himself, Estie nodded excitedly.She wanted to bring it up to her daddy when they were in the car just now, but then she thought about how he had refused the past class activities. She did not really know how to bring it up to him in a way that he would let her go.Seeing the girl’s look of expectation, Byron's gaze dimmed slightly. He could probably guess the reason for the change in the little one’s temperament.It was not the first time the kindergarten held parent-child activities like this. In the past, he had been busy wi
The weekend soon arrived.Rosalie took the boys to the kindergarten early.This was the first time the boys were taking part in group activities. They could not help being a little curious. They looked around while Rosalie held onto their hands.One after another, the children came to say hello to them. They also responded to them one by one.Only then did Rosalie realize how popular her two boys were at kindergarten."Aunt!"A small, childlike voice came from behind her all of a sudden. Rosalie had not seen Estie for a long time and missed her so much deep down. Hearing her voice, she smiled out of habit and turned around, wanting to hug the little one.The moment she turned around, she met the man’s gaze. Rosalie's face stiffened slightly, and the smile on her face became much fainter. She only raised her hand to touch the little girl's head. "Good morning, Estelle."With that, she looked up at the man in front of her. "Good morning, President Lawrence."Since it was an ou
The little girl was wearing a blue top with lace trimmings and a white skirt. She had a big red bow on her head, and her fair face was ruddy. She was like a living version of a mini Snow White.In addition, almost everyone at the kindergarten knew that she was the apple of Byron’s eye.Seeing the little girl holding a woman's skirt pitifully, everyone looked over.Rosalie would go tender-hearted for the little girl, but noting so many people looking at them now, she felt helpless for a while. She raised her gaze and looked at Byron in the distance.The man was surrounded by several parents. He was politely talking to them about something as if he did not notice their situation here.Rosalie could only retract her gaze helplessly. She crouched down and caressed the little girl's head, "How could I not like you, Estie? You’re such a good child."Estie sniffled through her nose and complained in a childlike voice, "Aunt no come recently. Estie misses Aunt."Rosalie's heart softened
After everyone arrived, Miss Leigh Ann called everyone to gather.She requested everyone to get on the bus in order of the list they filled up the night before.Rosalie remained at the end with two boys.All the students in the class were only children. Only Rosalie had two children. Hence, their seats were arranged in the back row.Teacher Leigh Ann called Lucian’s and Nox's names, then looked up to confirm their attendance when she saw the person standing next to Rosalie."President Lawrence, uhhh… Does Estelle want to go too?"Byron nodded noncommittally. "Estelle wants to participate."Hearing this, Miss Leigh Ann was a little embarrassed. "But..."Estie had never participated in these activities in the past, so she had thought that Estie would not participate either this time. She did not make arrangements for Estie and Byron regardless of it were seats or hotel rooms.Byron frowned deeply, "What's the problem?""Because you've never participated before, I didn't think y
As soon as Byron sat down with Estie in his arms, he felt the little girl moving around. He frowned in confusion.Estie looked at Rosalie eagerly.Aunt had not held her for a long time, so she also wanted Aunt to hold her.Moreover, Daddy carrying her was not comfortable at all.Rosalie wanted to ignore both father and daughter, but being stared at by the little girl, she had to turn around and take a look."Aunt." Estie stretched out her hand to her, wanting Rosalie to carry her.Byron noticed that the woman was already struggling to carry one child. He tightened his arms and trapped the little girl in his arms. "Estelle, don't fuss."Estie was feeling more and more uncomfortable and struggled even, "Aunt hug!"Some people had already noticed the movement back here.Rosalie did not want to attract any more attention, so she nodded to the man. "Give her to me. I'll hold her."With that, she stretched her hand out to Estie.Estie went into her hug almost immediately.After h
At this point, there was no other solution. Byron nodded and complied.Miss Leigh Ann called the parents together and asked who would be able to accommodate Byron.Estie grabbed her daddy's hand and immediately looked at Rosalie after hearing the teacher's words.She wanted to stay with the beautiful aunt.With Byron's status put out there and his unworldly attractiveness, a group of parents soon surrounded him, saying that Byron could stay with him.Even a few women came together with their children.Estie had not fully recovered from her autism yet. Being surrounded by a group of strange adults, her small face gradually turned pale.When Byron was not noticing, the little girl broke away from his hand and ran away. Rosalie just so happened to be standing outside the circle, waiting. Just then, the little girl bumped into her arms and looked at her with eager eyes."What happened, Estie?" Seeing the little girl's face, Rosalie could not help feeling worried.Estie grabbed h
After arranging the accommodation, it was already evening. Miss Leigh Ann brought the parents to the dining hall the botanical garden had prepared for everyone.Rosalie took the boys to go get their food. There were a lot of the employees of the botanical garden in the restaurant, far more than when they got off the bus just now. Estie did not like it very much. She followed Rosalie all the way, and her eyes never left her.Rosalie noticed the little girl's gaze and looked back, only to see her timid face. Heartache filled her own eyes. She simply had Lucian and Nox hold each other's hands while she held onto the little girl with one free hand.The little girl saw her. Estie reached her hand out to hold Rosalie’s, and without thinking, Rosalie stretched out her own hand to grab hold. Estie’s eyes turned into crescents when she smiled. The delight on her face erased the timidness from before.Byron was worried about the little girl and kept following her. Seeing Rosalie holding h
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
