Andrius saw through Rosalie's concerns and knew what she was worried about. He tried putting it another way. "The friendship between the Quirkes and Lawrences won’t be severed because of this. I also wouldn’t risk Quirke Enterprise. Of course, I’ve already made all the preparations when I came over looking for you to raise this matter today.”Rosalie looked at his adamant expression, and the hesitation on her face gradually faded. However, she still could not help but ask, "But why do you want to help me like this? Is it just because I cured the old master’s disease?"Andrius recalled his conversation with Byron last night and looked at Rosalie meaningfully.Met with his gaze, Rosalie found it a little weird.Andrius began slowly after a moment, "My grandfather was bedridden for so many years, and it’s all due to your treatment that he’s able to recover to how he is now. Moreover, you also said when you took over my grandfather’s treatment that his life was already on the line. You
Rosalie was, of course, not just being polite when she said she wanted to treat Andrius to a meal.That night, she reserved a restaurant before sending Andrius a message saying that they would meet during the weekend.Andrius agreed before forwarding the message to Byron. [Byron, let's go together?]Rosalie was treating him to this meal to thank him, and Byron had also made a large contribution to this matter. He should go with him.On the other end, Byron frowned when he saw the message Andrius sent. He was a little hesitant.Who knew if the woman would run off if he were to appear?Just when he was hesitating, Andrius sent another message again. [Dr. Jacobs is treating me to a meal to thank me. Although she doesn't know, you also made contributions. It's only right for you to be treated as well.]Reading his message, Byron’s gaze sunk slightly. He raised his hand and tapped the screen a few times.Andrius waited for a long time before he got his reply.[Then, let’s go togeth
After saying that, Rosalie ignored both their reactions and she sat down directly opposite Andrius.Seeing her sit opposite him, Andrius glanced at the person beside him subconsciously. He noted that Byron was still standing, so he hurriedly said, "Byron, since Dr. Jacobs doesn't mind, just sit down for a while. It just so happens that there’s been an issue at Dr. Jacobs' research institute. Maybe you can help!"Byron frowned and sat back down in silence.It had not been easy to reach a point where the woman did not run away the moment she saw him. Naturally, he would not just leave.After Rosalie extended a polite invitation, she then acted as though Byron did not exist. After all the dishes were served, she raised a glass to Andrius. "Thank you for your help with the medicinal materials businesses, Young Master Quirke."Making nothing of it, Andrius smiled. He raised his glass and clinked it with hers before answering knowingly but also not, "Dr. Jacobs’ you’re too kind. In fact
Andrius clearly saw the two of them locking gazes and very sensibly did not say anything.He waited until they withdrew their gazes before looking at Rosalie with a smile. "The few medicinal material businesses that I contacted have only just set up their branches in Coast City, but they can ensure the medicinal materials supply for your research institute. I wonder if you mind this?"Rosalie put her thoughts away, and the smile on her face was spot on. "Since you were the one who introduced them, I believe they’re capable. Also, we’re just a small research institute. We don't need too many medicinal materials. Branch offices are enough for us."Andrius raised his brow slightly. "It's a small research institute now, but with you here, who knows how it’ll develop in the future?"Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. She did not answer that and just said, "As for confirming the partnership proposals, I wonder what are the medicinal material businesses’ plans?"She just wanted to solve
Rosalie felt distressed for a moment hearing him talk about Estie's condition, but she could not show it in front of Byron.Just when she wanted to pretend that she did not care, Andrius suddenly shifted the topic to her. "Dr. Jacobs, I remember Estelle seemed to like you very much when you came to treat my grandfather before. I wonder if Estelle will get better if she were to interact with you a bit more?"After saying that, he sighed casually. "It was the first time I saw Estelle take such a liking to someone else. I was shocked at the time."Rosalie gripped her cutlery tightly, not knowing how to tell him that she was the reason why Estelle had become like this.To the side, Byron just went along with it as he looked at her with a heavy gaze.In the past, the woman would always compromise as long as he mentioned Estie in front of her. This time, however, the woman had obviously hardened her heart.There was silence at the dining table for a moment. Rosalie could clearly feel
Andrius spent a good portion of his might before he managed to lift the unpleasant atmosphere that he caused just now before discussing with Rosalie about the pharmaceutical industry in Coast City at the present day.Rosalie also conversed with him patiently.Byron, who was beside him, did not speak again. He just drank his wine without saying a word.Seeing that they had finished most of the wine in the bottle, Andrius hurriedly ended the dinner. "It's getting late. Let's just end things here today. I'll have the medicinal materials businesses decide the time as soon as possible."Rosalie did not want to stay any longer either, so she unequivocally agreed.The three of them went downstairs side by side. Rosalie was about to pay the tab but was stopped by Andrius."I was just kidding the last time. How can I allow you to treat me? If my grandfather finds out about this, he’ll lecture me again.”Saying that, Andrius quickly went over to settle the bill. He then turned around and
"Sir?"Seeing his master and Rosalie coming over together, Luther subconsciously thought that Rosalie would be getting into their car. Unexpectedly, he saw her follow Andrius into his car instead while his master remained standing outside.After waiting for a moment, Luther cautiously urged.Byron frowned before bowing down and getting into the car.Luther slowly started the car and drove out of the parking lot.Meanwhile, in the car next door.Andrius asked Rosalie for her address and then instructed the driver to send Rosalie back first.The driver complied.When he tried starting the car, it would not come alive even after a long time. The result was the same even after several attempts. The driver said helplessly, "President Quirke, the car seems to be malfunctioning."Hearing this, Andrius glanced at Rosalie beside him imperceptibly. Her expression was slightly constrained. "It was fine when we came, why did it suddenly break down now?"The driver looked embarrassed. "
Rosalie would not tell him about her relationship with Byron of course.Aside from that, however, she really had no reason to refuse a ride from Byron.Rosalie agreed in the end after some deliberation. She slowed down and walked side by side Andrius.They saw Byron not far away at a glance when they arrived at the gate of the parking lot.The man was wearing a black trench coat and standing ramrod straight beside the car. He was looking in their direction and when he saw the person beside Andrius, his eyes seemed to darken a little."Why don't you wait in the car? It's so cold," Andrius greeted.Byron only replied, "Get in the car."His eyes swept across Rosalie after he said that. He then bowed and got into the car.Rosalie had already been prepared to hitch a ride with him, but for some reason, she felt a little daunted the moment she saw Byron.Right now, she was standing beside the car, unable to move.Seeing her hesitation, Andrius urged, "Dr. Jacobs, get in the car qui
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
