Hearing her answer, Andrea was puzzled.Could she have prepared something else?Thinking of this, Andrea carefully asked, "Wendy, do you mean that there’s another way to deal with Rosalie?"Wendy's heart was filled with impatience toward her. She thought to herself that even if she were to have other means in mind, she could not possibly let Andrea in on it or it would never succeed.aHowever, thinking that she might inevitably be useful again in the future, Wendy still reassured her. "Don't worry, I'll be sure not to let the b*tch off the hook. Come to think of it, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been lectured by both Grandpa Quirke and Andrius. I won’t let her go so easily even if it’s just to vent on your behalf!"She attributed the reason why Andrea was taught a lesson to Rosalie in just a few words.Andrea thought so too and nodded angrily. "That Jacobs woman! Grandpa and Brother have been picking trouble with me ever since they met her. I’m their family member, yet
When Rosalie came home in the evening, Lisa had already picked up the two boys and had prepared dinner.Seeing Rosalie enter, the boys greeted her with concerned expressions. "Mommy, you worked hard today!"The boys looked up as they said that and stared at Rosalie's face. They just thought that Mommy looked really haggard today.Seeing that, they looked at each other anxiously. They knew that Mommy's work today must have been difficult.Rosalie had run around the entire day because of the medicinal materials issue. She was exhausted. Seeing the boys’ worried expressions, she barely forced out a smile before leaning over to caress their heads. "Thank you for your concern."After saying that, the little ones ran away from her hand and brought her slippers. They put them at her feet.Rosalie smiled happily.After she took off her coat, they rushed to hang it up for her.The boys were short and had a lot of trouble hanging the coat on the hanger.Rosalie just looked at them with
Seeing the two boys' sad appearance, Rosalie could not say anything for a long time.Fortunately, the boys also knew that their mommy was reluctant to give up on Estie. After being sad for a while, they sensibly calmed down and ate their meals in small bites.After dinner, Rosalie was very tired. The two boys were not in the mood to play games and went upstairs early to sleep.After waiting till the boys had fallen asleep, Rosalie gently touched their cheeks and said softly, "I’m sorry."It was because of her that the little ones had to follow her around at a young age.Moreover, they should have a better life. The moment she told Byron about the boys' parentage, they would become the young masters of the Lawrence family with golden spoons. Everything they wanted, they would get.Out of selfishness, however, she had the two boys remain by her side.Although she had worked hard over the years to compensate them, she did not think her efforts were even close to making up for the l
The moment she arrived at the entrance of the research institute, Rosalie saw that Yves was already taking count of the medicinal materials. There was also a slightly chubby man in a sleek suit standing next to him. They were discussing something between them.She noticed that the man in the suit looked like he was fawning over someone while Yves’ expression was a little perfunctory.Yves has always been friendly with others. Rosalie rarely saw such an expression on him and quickly walked over in confusion."Dr. Graham, I really didn't mean it. I was busy with a meeting when you called me yesterday. I thought—"Halfway through the man's words, Yves looked up and saw Rosalie walking over. He cut the man coldly, "This is the head of our research institute, Dr. Rosalie Jacobs. If there are any issues, you may relay them to her."The man was stunned for a moment before quickly turning to look at Rosalie. With a respectful attitude, he said, "Dr. Jacobs, I'm Don Juan, the manager in ch
At the end of the day, he was a subordinate working for the Quirke family. Since Andrius had entrusted this matter to this person, it showed that this person was also under him. Naturally, Rosalie would not make things harder for him. What she said just now was also just a reminder. Their research institute was not so easy to deal with, so he should pay more attention in the future.Don also reacted and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He shook Rosalie's hand and nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course!"Rosalie smiled politely. "Well then, let’s have a happy cooperation."Don raised his hand and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and repeatedly complied.At the other end, Yves was also done taking count of all the medicinal materials. He had already gotten the staff to move the boxes in before walking toward both of them.Don had obviously done such work many times. Seeing him come over, he immediately handed over the list.Yves glanced at Rosalie. It was reasonable t
Rosalie put her mobile phone aside. She looked through the details of the research institute’s recent consumption of medicinal materials, and her temples faintly ached.She had already thought about it yesterday. She was thinking of borrowing the Quirkes contacts and asking Andrius to introduce her to several medicinal material businesses.However, the Quirke family had already given them enough benefits today. If Rosalie were to say something more, it would seem like she was dissatisfied. She had hesitated for a long time when he called just now, but in the end, she still did not mention it.Now, she could only try to look for the seniors she met at the last conference.She wondered if they still remembered her.She was a little tired yesterday and coupled with the fact that she did not sleep well the night before, Rosalie could not help feeling a burst of irritability. She grabbed her phone to search through the address book.The research institute’s development had been going
"Don't you think you did something wrong?"Andrius could tell what she thought from a glance. He put down the documents in his hand with a cold expression and looked at the person in front of him with a heavy gaze.Andrea’s mouth dropped open. "I didn't do anything wrong. It’s Aunt Melody who’s targeting Rosalie, not me. I just did according to her instructions!""Did Aunt Melody personally tell you not to provide medicinal materials for Dr. Jacobs' research institute?" Andrius questioned sternly.Andrea was startled by him. Her body constricted for a moment before very quickly relaxing. She steeled herself and responded, "Even if Aunt Melody didn't say it, I know what she meant! And we have such a good relationship with the Lawrences. Shouldn't we help Aunt Melody?"After saying that, Andrea continued even before Andrius could speak, "Brother, don't forget Rosalie left behind a divorce agreement and left without saying goodbye. Aunt Melody has always held a grudge against her ove
The speculation from that morning hovered in Andrius’ mind the entire day.At night, after work, Andrius called Byron.His call was picked up very quickly on the other end. "Andrius, what's up?"Andrius smiled as if nothing had happened. "I haven't seen you for some time. I wonder if you have time to get a drink together tonight?"Hearing this, Byron deeply frowned slightly. He knew that he had something to say and agreed with a deep voice.After hanging up the call, Byron asked Luther to pick up Estie from the kindergarten before driving to the private club he often went to.A waiter greeted him the moment he entered, "President Lawrence, President Quirke is already waiting for you."Byron nodded slightly and followed the waiter upstairs before entering the private room.He said he wanted to drink, but there was only a bottle of beer on the table while exquisite dishes filled the rest of the table.Andrius was leaning on the sofa, staring off into space. When Byron came in, 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
