Everyone present could not help but be stunned for a bit.Seeing her resume intercepted by that large hand, Rosalie felt even more nervous.She had deliberately been avoiding Byron the moment she saw him. She did not even dare look at him through the periphery of her vision.Now, the man had suddenly reached his hand out and taken away her resume. She had to pay attention to him.She wondered just what he was thinking…Byron grabbed the resume in his big hand tightly. He glanced over Rosalie's face and said pointedly, "There are quite a number of people faking resumes to swindle others nowadays. Old Man Quirke’s condition is already bleak, so we can’t be cheated by these people."With that, he casually flipped open the resume in his hand. His speed of browsing was really slow as if he was trying to distinguish what was real and what was not in the resume.From the school that Rosalie had attended to the place where she worked, his eyes caught every detail.Rosalie's life over t
Andrius was a little moved seeing how adamant she was, but he still turned to look at Byron’s expression.Byron just watched the serious woman coldly without saying a word.Seeing this, Andrius nodded to Rosalie. "Thank you for your help, then, Dr. Jacobs. Please come with me."Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. She got up and followed Andrius, trying her best to ignore Byron’s gaze when she passed him.Seeing that her brother was actually bringing the young woman up, Andrea still felt uneasy and hurriedly followed.The three figures disappeared at the corner of the stairs.Seeing that the beautiful aunt had left, Estie tugged at her daddy's collar reluctantly, wanting to make him follow.Byron retracted his gaze from the corner of the stairs and looked down at the little girl in his arms. The corner of his lips tugged vaguely as he began moving his feet to walk upstairs.Reaching the door of the room, a man suddenly appeared in Rosalie’s periphery. Her heart constricted violen
Hearing Rosalie’s words, Andrius and his sister’s expressions instantly changed.“What nonsense are you saying?”Andrea glared at Rosalie angrily. "Can you treat him? If you can’t, just say so! Don't curse my grandpa here!"Rosalie looked at her coldly. "I'm already being very courteous. Because your grandfather didn't get treatment in time, all his bodily functions have begun to deteriorate now. His immune system has also rapidly weakened.“It’s reasonable to say that the patient should have been taken care of promptly, but the medical team you invited disregarded the patient's physical condition and wantonly gave him drugs. You’re not treating his condition at all, you’re burning his lifespan!”The chief attending doctor of the medical team felt unhappy at that moment. He came forward and stood next to them. Looking at Rosalie, he had some righteous words to offer. "Miss, please refrain from making rash judgments if you don't understand the situation. Old Master Quirke’s conditi
Hearing this, they were a little stunned.They had seen many famous doctors trying to treat the old master, but they never had someone request to take off the old master's clothes.Andrius reacted first and asked cautiously, "Do you have to do this?"Rosalie glanced at him inexplicably. "I want to treat the old master, and clothes get in the way. Which one of you will be helping me? May I trouble you to hurry up."For a moment, everyone in the room, including the medical team from before, looked at each other. What kind of treatment required them to remove the patient's clothes?Andrius hesitated for a bit before gritting his teeth and striding over.Seeing her brother compromise, Andrea was anxious. "What kind of treatment is this? Why..."She had just spoken halfway when Rosalie opened the medicine box she carried with her and took out a rustic, wooden box. In it was an object that looked similar to a scroll.Unfurling it, there were hundreds of silver needles, large and sm
Before Rosalie even reacted, she felt herself being supported by her waist, which barely stabilized her.The moment she looked up, she met Byron’s dark gaze.With their gazes catching one another, Rosalie's body stiffened slightly. She then quickly looked away and sat back properly with the help of the bed.Byron supported her subconsciously. Seeing her at that moment, she was like a beast of the depths, trying so hard to avoid him. His gaze suddenly sank. He immediately retracted the large hand that he had placed on her waist just now."You dare say you’ve studied various complex diseases? Is this the outcome of your research? Looks to me like you practically bought those certificates!"Andrea did not seem to have noticed the strangeness between them at all as she remained on her warpath. She looked at Andrius angrily. "Brother, I think she’s a complete fraud! Get rid of her quickly!"Hearing this, Rosalie retracted her thoughts from the abnormality just now and sarcastically sa
Byron just glanced at her. He then clutched her wrist and turned sideways to look at Andrea coldly. "Apologize."Suddenly hearing Byron say that, Andrea was instantly dumbfounded. "Byron, what are you talking about?"Byron looked at her commandingly with a full sense of oppression. "Old Man Quirke is in critical condition now. If there’s someone else who can save him, that person would long have appeared when you invited famous doctors locally and abroad. But that’s not the case."Taking in his imposing manner, Andrea lowered her head with inexplicable nervousness."She..."Byron paused, glancing vaguely at the people behind him. He continued, "Miss Jacobs is not related to the Quirke family and came specifically to treat Old Man Quirke. If you can’t trust her, fine. But there is no reason to lay a hand on her. Is this what the Quirke family taught you? Apologize to her immediately!"Seeing this scene, Andrius was also a little stupefied. He could not believe his eyes.Were his
This time, without being disturbed by anyone, Rosalie went through the treatment process much more smoothly.Soon, there were 10 silver needles inserted in the front of the old master’s head.Rosalie practically did not blink during the process as she devoted herself to the old master’s treatment intently.Byron had already looked through Rosalie’s experience from these past years back when they were downstairs. It was beautifully impeccable. One could imagine how exciting her life had been in the past six years.This was still, however, the first time that he saw her like this.For the first time, he saw her concentration when she was practicing medicine and her toughness when addressing her profession.These were not things he had seen on Rosalie before. Seeing these today, Byron’s emotions were somewhat difficult to put into words.To one side, Andrius had been observing the positions of Rosalie's needles as well as her expression when she put them in.With the dozens of s
Rosalie could not help but be slightly startled. After a moment, she looked at Byron with some apprehension.She did not confess about the time Estie had gone missing back then.However, she likely could not hide from this man. Thinking of this, Rosalie said hesitantly, "It's probably because… I’ve helped her before. I picked her up when she got lost the last time."Andrius had not expected this. He looked at Estie, then at Rosalie. He lamented, "You two sure are destined."Were they?Thinking of Estie’s identity, Rosalie’s lower lip tugged with self-mockery before she looked up with a calm expression again. “Perhaps."Andrius did not notice the abnormality from her either as he got up and suggested, "Since my grandpa needs another hour, why don't we wait downstairs and have some drinks? You’ve worked hard, Dr. Jacobs."Seeing that he changed the topic, Rosalie was inexplicably relieved and agreed noncommittally.Answering through action, Byron immediately rounded the back of
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
