Hearing this, Wendy glanced down at her arm in a cast, then raised her eyes and smiled at Rosalie nonchalantly. "This isn’t a big deal, but it happened two days ago while I was out with Aunt Melody. I was accidentally scratched by a car. Thankfully, Aunt is fine, and my injury is nothing." The implication was to let Rosalie know she got that injury trying to save Mrs. Lawrence.Rosalie naturally understood her words, smiled, and replied indifferently, "Wow, you and Mrs. Lawrence have such a good relationship. I’m sure it’ll be smooth sailing for you when you marry into the Lawrence family. If there isn’t anything else, I need to go now. It's getting late, and the children are sleepy."After speaking, she turned around to leave without waiting for Wendy to say anything.Just as she turned around, someone grabbed her wrist.Rosalie frowned and turned to look at the woman behind her.Wendy looked at her pitifully, "Actually, there’s one more thing I want to tell you. I wish to apol
When Wendy came out of the stairwell, her calm expression suddenly changed. She scampered into the toilet, gritted her teeth, then gently bumped her plastered arm against the wall. For the next few seconds, pain was written all over her face.Looking at the clock, it was almost time for Melody’s daily visit. Wendy hurriedly climbed the stairs and returned to her ward.Her arm was already in severe pain. After climbing six to seven floors in one breath, Wendy's forehead was covered with cold sweat by the time she returned to her ward.Byron was waiting in the ward. Seeing that she had not come back, he was about to call her when he heard movement at the door."Byron, you're back." Wendy's voice sounded a little desolate.Byron nodded noncommittally. "Where have you been?"After Rosalie left with the little boys, he went to the orthopedics department to look for Wendy, but he did not see anyone. Hence, he returned to the ward, but she was still nowhere to be seen.Wendy pursed her
"You tell me, Wendy." Melody knew that her son would not open up easily, so she turned to Wendy.There was a trace of panic on Wendy's face, and she glanced at Byron beside her, her brows furrowing helplessly.After a long while, she lowered her eyes and explained softly to Melody, "Miss Jacobs brought her two children to the hospital just now, and we met. I saw that one of her children wasn’t feeling well, and it reminded me of Estie. I felt uneasy, so I let Byron help her."Wendy was afraid Melody was not convinced, so she quickly added, "I mean, Byron didn't plan to go."She nervously looked at Byron, an implication that the man just followed her wishes and went down the stairs to help Rosalie.Naturally, Melody did not believe such a statement and looked at her son with a sullen face. "Is what Wendy said true? She’s injured, but you went to check on someone else's children instead?"Byron deeply frowned and said nothing.Melody knew her son well and knew that his silence was
Wendy dared not look into her eyes. She just bit her lip and nodded.Melody stood up suddenly, "Let's go. I’ll take you to have your arm checked."After saying that, she was about to open the door and call Byron.Wendy hurriedly grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Aunt, don't tell Byron. My relationship with Byron has finally eased up. If you force him, I'm afraid everything will backfire.”Melody thought about it. After a few seconds, she felt what Wendy said was reasonable, so she nodded and agreed.Wendy got off the bed and let Melody support her. The two left the ward together.Byron got up and tried to keep up with them, but Melody glanced back at him. "I'll take Wendy out to get some fresh air. You just go do what you want to do. Don’t feel obligated. I don't expect you to be so meticulous."Byron was too lazy to bicker with his mother over these things. These days, taking care of Wendy was like an added task for him. Now that his mother said so, he felt even more relaxed.
It was late after Melody left the hospital. She was livid, but she still went back home.This time, she must confront that Jacobs woman and get an explanation. She would also make sure she gave Rosalie a piece of her mind! As for what she was going to say to the woman, it must be carefully thought out.Melody had all these thoughts swimming in her mind all night.It was one sleepless night.The next morning, Melody simply ate breakfast and asked the driver to take her to Rosalie's house.Rosalie was eating breakfast with the little boys.After Nox took the medicine, he got better. He ate breakfast with gusto.Seeing that the boy was as energetic as usual, Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief.She wanted to take the boys to the research institute after breakfast but did not expect an uninvited guest to appear.The little boys were still eating when they heard the doorbell. Rosalie got up and opened the door.Seeing the person at the door, Rosalie's heart sank slightly. She turn
Rosalie knew that Melody’s prejudice against her could no longer be reversed as the older woman had always been on her high horse, judging her. Well, there was no need to reverse her perceptions anyway since they would not have any contact in the future.Thinking of this, Rosalie's mood slowly calmed down. "Mrs. Lawrence, you can rest assured that not everyone is interested in your son. Or at least, I’m not interested in him. I only keep in contact with him for Estie’s sake. With your reminder this time, I’ll pay more attention in the future and stay away from President Lawrence."As for Wendy's injury, Rosalie was unsure if it was related to her. She decided not to mention it again.Melody scrutinized her for a long time as if to explore the truth of what she said.After a while, she frowned coldly. "That's for the best. You'd better remember what you said today."Rosalie nodded slightly. "If there’s nothing else, I have to go back to take care of my children, so I’ll leave first
Evidently, Melody had heard the conversation between the two.However, she had already decided that her son and Wendy Fuller would marry each other, and she had already warned Rosalie to stay in her lane.Therefore, Melody did not bother to interfere with the entanglement happening behind her. She just leisurely took a sip of coffee.Melody even had a disdainful smile on her face after hearing Rosalie's footsteps leaving.This was the case with disgraced, lowly women who could not get what they wanted. If one intimidated them a little, they would know their place. Such a woman could not be a part of the Lawrence family."Sit down." Only then did Melody turn her head to look at Byron. She motioned for him to sit down opposite her.Byron fumed and frowned, his eyes full of suppressed anger as he took a seat opposite his mother.The coffee in front of him was ordered by the woman just now. She obviously had not touched it.Thinking of what she said to his mother just now, the crea
Melody looked at Byron’s expression, and her heart gradually became cold.She knew her son all too well.The calmer Byron was, the more power his words held. It was not the first time he had told her not to interfere in the matter between him and that Jacobs woman.What position did this woman hold in his heart? How could her son show this attitude to her?Melody frowned and slowly calmed down before she gritted her teeth. "When you’re telling me this, what exactly do you take Wendy for? She’s been waiting for you for so long. Do you think you can disregard her with a single word? How is that woman better than Wendy? After that woman ruthlessly abandoned Estie, isn’t Wendy the one who’s been taking care of Estie with you for so many years? Whether it's you, Estie, or us elders, Wendy has been nothing but kind to us!”Byron's eyes were covered with a thin layer of frost. "Do you really think she’s done nothing wrong?”Hearing this, Melody was startled. She even subconsciously do
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
