"President Lawrence, please don't do this. We are but two strangers. I'd be very perplexed if you did this."Rosalie kept calm. She frowned at the person in front of her.After she said that, she saw Byron's lips part inexplicably.The man's cold voice rang through the car in the next second."A stranger? So, it turns out that Miss Jacobs would invite a stranger to dinner as she pleases and that she would also get into a stranger's car. Since Miss Jacobs thinks so, however, I don't mind getting well acquainted with you!"Rosalie was about to refuse him but when she looked up, she saw that the man was already in front of her.The man's large body was filled with an oppressive force in the narrow car which was practically rendering her breathless."What are you doing!" Rosalie looked at the person in front of her, alert.Byron replied leisurely, "I just want to introduce myself to Miss Jacobs properly."Rosalie coldly refused, "I don't want to hear it! I also don't think it's ne
Rosalie tried to calm herself down. She met Byron’s gaze indifferently and said gently, "Byron, the way you are now will only make me more unfamiliar with you."Byron had always been calm and self-sustaining in her memory, even a little indifferent.At least, that was how he was six years ago.She could not figure out the Byron now.Rosalie did not know if what she said had anything to do with it, but she felt the grip on her chin seem to be slowly easing off.She was practically holding her breath.After a while, the man frowned. He withdrew his hand and went back to his original position before looking at her with a complicated expression, "Just what do you want?"Hearing a question like that even before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Rosalie was baffled.She should be the one asking this.Her attitude was already very clear, what exactly did Byron want?"It's fine if you want to avoid me but to not even see Estelle? Rosalie, are you really so cruel?" Byron looked at h
"I suppose Young Master Quirke has already informed you what happened to my research institute this time. President Lawrence should also be aware of who the perpetrator is." Rosalie continued, "Even if I were to avoid you like this, Mrs. Lawrence has already come to misunderstand me. You've also seen it, Mrs. Lawrence just needed to wag her tongue and she threw this small research institute of mine into turmoil. I can’t even get a foothold in Coast City. At the end of the day, I came back to the country this time just for this research institute. I didn’t want to get involved in other troublesome matters but even so, they came looking for me. President Lawrence, I implore you to consider my situation.”These words pierced Byron’s heart straight to the bottom.He had tolerated Rosalie avoiding him for the same reason.He did not want Rosalie to get into unnecessary trouble because of himself.However, hearing this woman bring it up now with his own ears, Byron only felt strange d
When Byron returned to Lawrence Manor, it was already late at night.Estie had also gone to bed early.Recalling that the woman had not mentioned Estie at all just now, he could not help feeling his heart ache. He went upstairs into the little girl's room.Estie looked well-behaved when she slept. Her head was turned to one side and half of her face was buried in the blanket. She seemed to be sleeping soundly.Byron’s eyes softened when he saw the child. He raised his hand and caressed the little girl's head. He tucked the blanket around her and then got up and left.He suddenly heard the little girl whimper softly just as he got to the door.Byron stopped in his steps abruptly. He turned around and walked to the side of little girl’s bed. He carefully removed the blanket covering her face, only to see her face practically scrunched up. Her eyes were shut tightly and her long curved eyelashes were already covered with tears.He wondered what nightmare she was having.Seeing how
Seeing this, he frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.The little girl had not seen Rosalie recently. Why would she suddenly dream till she cried when she had not been dreaming before?"Lu and No said that auntie will take them abroad once she is done with the research institute."Estie thought of what the brothers said in kindergarten yesterday, her face was filled with disappointment.She thought beautiful auntie had just lied to her, and Lu and No also told her that they would not be leaving.Yesterday, however, they said that they would not be staying in the country for a long time...Moreover, she had not seen beautiful auntie ever since she told her that she would be going abroad.Thinking of this, the little girl could not help but want to cry. Hearing what the little girl said, Byron's expression slowly sank.Based on what the boys said, it seemed that this woman would already be abroad if this incident had not occurred!Estie tugged at the hem of her daddy's shirt and s
After hanging up the call, Andrius immediately called Rosalie.Rosalie picked it up almost immediately, "Young Master Quirke, did the medicinal materials business already set the time?"Andrius answered with a smile, "They hope to have a detailed discussion with you in two days, but it still depends on your time. Are you free in two days?"The biggest issue with the research institute no was the medicinal materials supply. Knowing that the medicinal materials business had set a time, Rosalie naturally prioritized them and agreed without hesitation, "I have no problems, please inform them that I will be there on time."Andrius said again, "You don't need to prepare anything, someone will pick you up when you get there."Rosalie affirmed and thanked him again. "I’m sorry to bother you about this, Young Master Quirke."Andrius smiled. "It’s only right of me. I troubled you greatly when you were treating my grandfather."Besides, he also had to help Rosalie and Byron’s relationship.
Two days later, Rosalie flew to S City early in the morning based on the agreed time.She saw someone waiting for her with a sign greeting her the moment she landed, just as Andrius had said.Rosalie went over and introduced herself before following the person out of the airport."Our President Snyder has already booked a hotel for you. Would you like me to take you directly to the hotel or the company first?"The driver respectfully asked after she got into the car.Rosalie did not bring anything with her and pondered for a moment before replying. "Let’s go to the company first, provided if President Snyder has the time."She wanted to settle business first. The driver complied and immediately drove to the company. He called President Snyder along the way to explain the situation to him.When Rosalie arrived at the company, President Snyder was already waiting in the office."Dr. Jacobs, how wonderful it is to finally put a face to the name." President Snyder got up to hold
On the other end, Andrius had also received an invitation from President Snyder although he was far away in Coast City.Andrius was busy with work from Quirk Enterprises and naturally did not have time to participate in it. He then thought of his brother, however, and figured he might be interested. After ending the call, he immediately called Byron. Andrius was about to speak the moment the call connected but Byron's voice came first, "Is Rosalie already here?"Andrius choked, the smile on his face turned teasing. "She's already there. The partner in S City has invited Dr. Jacobs to dinner this evening and Dr. Jacobs has agreed."Hearing this, he frowned slightly before answering with a deep voice, "I got it."Without waiting for Andrius to respond after saying that, he hung up the call. Andrius looked at the darkened screen of his mobile phone and raised his brow teasingly.Although Byron did not clearly say it, he could guess that his figure would be making an appearance at
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
