After lunch, the boys wanted to play with Estie, but Rosalie stopped them."You two can play by yourself. I’m going to send Estie home.”Rosalie wanted to make it clear to the little one, but she could not say anything cruel when looking at her face that was full of tear streaks. She would wait and tell her while sending her home. Hearing Mommy's words, the two boys nodded obediently even though they were still reluctant to part with their little sister.Since she would not be with them, the two little boys did not feel like playing anymore. They just stayed silently beside Mommy and Estie.When Estie heard the beautiful aunt’s words, her face was full of reluctance. She noticed that Rosalie was looking at her, so she pouted and turned her eyes away, refusing to talk to her.This was the first time the little one had shown such an attitude to herRosalie felt distressed when she saw Estie resisting.If she had another option, why would she want to be so cruel to the little one
Estie's soft voice left Rosalie feeling conflicted.As she expected, the little one was emotionally sensitive to the outside world. She had even noticed her resistance toward Byron.Was that why the little girl secretly came to see her without her father’s knowledge on both occasions?‘Am I that important in Estie’s heart?’Lucian and Nox looked at Estie on the side. Their hearts could not help but soften. They stepped forward to speak up for her."Mommy, since she came alone, let her play with us for a while!" Nox grabbed Rosalie's sleeve and acted playfully.Lucian also echoed, "Mommy, Mr. Byron won't come looking for her so soon. Let Little Estie stay for a while!"Rosalie did not answer for a while.Little Estie was in Rosalie's arms with her eyes lowered. She dared not look into Rosalie’s eyes, for fear that her next sentence would be one of rejection.Rosalie looked at the pleading gaze of her boys, then looked at the time. It was not yet one o’clock in the afternoon.A
"Aunt, no don’t like Estie. Please no."Little Estie clutched Rosalie's clothes pleadingly and wanted to come right into Rosalie's arms.Rosalie turned around, squatted down, let the little one get into her arms, and sighed helplessly. "I don’t dislike you."Little Estie's voice was muffled. "But Aunt want Estie go away."Rosalie felt the cry in Estie’s voice. She pulled the little one out of her embrace and wiped her tears away gently.Estie stubbornly pouted and looked at her without blinking, trying to get an answer from Rosalie.After a long while, Rosalie said softly, "I have to send you back, not because I don’t like you, but because I think we shouldn’t be so close."Hearing this answer, the little girl was full of confusion. She frowned and tilted her head to look at Rosalie's face.‘I like Beautiful Aunt very much, and we’ve always been like this. Why can't we be close anymore?‘Is it because of Daddy?’Thinking of this possibility, the little girl had some panic on
Rosalie held Little Estie in her arms as the little girl cried until she was out of breath. Her two little hands were tightly clutching her clothes, and her voice broke intermittently. "I want Aunt. I want Aunt be Mommy!"Rosalie was stunned for a moment.The little girl continued, "Aunt is the best. Daddy likes Aunt..."Hearing this, Rosalie came back to her senses and bit her lower lip mockingly.‘I don't know where this little one came to this conclusion.’Perhaps in Estie's heart, as long as the two adults had more contact with each other, that meant they liked each other.Just like how the little girl liked her two sons.No matter how she explained this, Estie would not be able to understand, let alone accept the fact that Byron liked Wendy.Rosalie could not help but have a headache.After a long while, she raised her hands to wipe the little girl's tears and tried her best to gently coax the child. “I… I won’t stay here forever. I’m only here for work this time. When my
Little Estie could not hear another word anymore. The little one only knew that Aunt would go abroad in the future, and she might never see her again. Her tears kept streaming down at that thought.The smile on Rosalie's face was also bitter as she touched the little girl's head. "This may be the last time we meet. Don’t cry, Estie. Will you smile for me?" The little girl cried and shook her head. "Aunt, don’t go..."Rosalie let Estie cry for a little while more in her arms. When she heard her cries become weak, she comforted her again. "You need to get better soon, okay? When you grow up, you can come visit me abroad. We can go have fun."Little Estie also seemed to understand that she could not get Aunt to stay. When she heard that she would be able to meet with Aunt again when she grew up, a little hope rose in her heart. She pitifully sought confirmation. "Really?"Rosalie nodded with a smile.The girl still did not believe her. "But when I grow up, Aunt don’t ‘member me."
The little girl fell silent again after hearing Rosalie’s reply.Rosalie opened the car door, carried the little girl down, and led her to the gate of the manor.When she released her hand to let the little girl go, Estie raised her eyes and looked at her seriously.Rosalie’s heart softened as she met her serious gaze and squatted down to look into her eyes. "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"Little Estie nodded slightly and said in her naive voice, "Aunt, don't hate Daddy."She did not know why Aunt hated Daddy so much. She even had to drive Daddy away every time they met.The little girl could sense that Daddy was good to Aunt, and Daddy liked Aunt, so she did not want Aunt to hate Daddy.Rosalie thought that they probably would not see each other anymore, so she just nodded at the little girl.The girl hugged her reluctantly again before turning around and entering the gate of the manor.Rosalie did not dare to go in, for fear of being discovered by Byron and t
At the Lawrence family’s manor.After receiving the call from Mrs. Zora, Byron immediately put down his work, rushed back from the company, and called Dr. Lucas Montgomery on the way.Since her disappearance that time, Estie's mental state had been very unstable. He must pay her special attention.Seeing the two of them enter the door, Mrs. Zora hurriedly greeted them."Where's Estie?" Byron frowned and glanced at the living room but did not see the little girl.Mrs. Zora pointed upstairs. "She went upstairs by herself after she came back. It seems that she’s in a very bad mood. No matter what I say, she just ignores me. I could only ask you to come home."Hearing this, Byron nodded lightly and led Lucas upstairs.The little girl's door was locked tight, and there was no movement inside.Byron's heart sank as he knocked on the door lightly. "Estie, darling, Daddy’s back. Can you open the door and let me in?"After a long while, there was still no movement inside. There was no
After Dr. Lucas confirmed that Estie had no abnormalities, he did not stay too long and left before dinner.Byron sat in the study for a while. He took out his mobile phone and called Miss Leigh Ann.This morning, he had sent Estie to the kindergarten. Even if the little one had been left alone, she must have left from the kindergarten.Miss Leigh Ann should know what had happened during this period.On the other line, as soon as the teacher received the call, she was very nervous and came clean about everything that happened."...After I dropped Estie off, I left. Miss Jacobs said that she would send Estie back. Hasn’t she sent Estie back?"Thinking of this, Miss Leigh Ann was full of regrets.Without President Lawrence’s consent, she took Estie to Lucian and Nox's house without permission and then left the little one there.Either way, that was extremely irresponsible of her.It would be fine that President Lawrence did not know about it, but now that he knew that Estie went
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
