Although Rosalie kept telling Mary that she was alright, Mary still felt extremely worried. She examined her body once thoroughly. Finally, she confirmed that Rosalie was only feeling like this due to the shock she experienced. She would recover after getting enough rest. Rosalie did not want the children to worry about her. She lay down in her room for a while, got up, and went downstairs. Lisa had just served dinner on the dining table and was about to go upstairs to ask Rosalie to come down for dinner when she saw her making her way downstairs. “How do you feel now? Can you eat all of this? If you don’t have the appetite, I’ll make some oats for you.” Lisa looked at Rosalie’s complexion in concern. Rosalie’s complexion has visibly improved after resting for a while. She shook her head at Lisa comfortingly and said, “I won’t trouble you. I don’t have much of an appetite, so I’ll just have some of the food here.” After speaking, she sat down by the dining table. Th
Meanwhile, Estie was laying on the coffee table while playing with Lego blocks when Byron returned to Lawrence Manor. Estie started taking a liking to Lucian’s and Nox’s hobbies after playing with them. She asked Byron to buy a lot of Lego sets for her. Byron bought a smaller Lego model for Estie since she would be building it alone. The model could be placed on the coffee table.Estie glanced at the entrance when she saw him walking into the manor. She then got up and rushed toward him without speaking. She simply stared at him while standing next to him.Byron could not help but think about Rosalie when he saw Estie. Rosalie only thought about Lucian and Nox when she was so frightened on the plane. Unbeknownst to her, Estie was her daughter as well… With this thought in mind, Byron reached out to caress Estie’s head pitifully. “Auntie,” Estie suddenly called out as she stared at him.Byron could not help but feel stunned. He frowned and met Estie’s gaze. He then s
The next morning, Rosalie felt much better after waking up. She recalled that she would be fetching the children to the kindergarten today. She got ready, opened the door, and headed downstairs. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the children waiting for her by the door. Lucian and Nox remembered that their mommy would be fetching them to the kindergarten today. They woke up in excitement early in the morning and waited for Rosalie in front of her door. Initially, they wanted to knock on the door to wake their mommy up, but they recalled that their mommy was not feeling well. Therefore, they did not dare to disrupt their mommy when she was resting. They simply waited for her quietly in front of the door. The children’s gazes shone when they saw Rosalie coming out. “Mommy!” Rosalie caressed the children’s heads and said, “Come on. Go down to have your breakfast. After that, I’ll fetch you to the kindergarten.” The children nodded obediently and held her hand on e
After hearing what Rosalie said, Byron frowned slightly and lowered his gaze to look at Estie.Estie lowered her head pitifully. She tightened her grip on his hand. Evidently, she was feeling anxious. Rosalie looked in the direction of his gaze and noticed the disappointed expression on Estie’s face. Her heart softened at once. In the past, Estie always looked overjoyed to see her. However, she seemed extremely cautious today. She did not dare to approach her as well.Rosalie guessed that it must be because she had tried to make Estie distance herself from her by telling her that she would be leaving the country soon.Lucian and Nox would always mention Estie after returning home nowadays. Estie must miss her a lot.With this thought in mind, Rosalie let out a silent sigh. She bent down to caress Estie’s head. She then comforted her gently, “I just don’t want you to worry. I’m fine. Look, I’m alright, aren’t I?” After sensing Rosalie’s soft palm on her head, Estie raised h
After having breakfast in a complicated mood, Rosalie took the little girl out of the dining room.As soon as she came out, she noticed the tense atmosphere in the living room.The two boys were kneeling on the sofa, their faces taut. They were almost staring at the man standing beside them as if the man had offended them.Seeing the look on the boys’ faces, Rosalie could not help but frown.She thought that the two boys' deep resistance to Byron was because of her.However, in retrospect, the boys did not have a good attitude toward the man as early as when they first met.Right now, she just wanted to keep a distance from Byron, but the boys seemed to have some hostility toward him.Rosalie could not figure out why.On the other hand, the boys saw Rosalie leading Estie out. They looked away from Byron and greeted them with a smile, "Mommy!"Rosalie put away her thoughts and smiled at the boys.The two boys looked at Estie enthusiastically again. "Is Estie going to school wi
Rosalie reached out to pick up the little girl's schoolbag, but Byron withdrew his hand with no expression, turned, and walked in front of them. "Let's go."Rosalie's hand fell empty as the little ones around her carefully tugged on her sleeves. She came back to her senses and led the kids to follow behind the man.Miss Leigh Ann was already waiting at the gate of the kindergarten.Seeing them coming together, the teacher smiled and greeted Rosalie. "Miss Jacobs, it's been a long time."During this time, either Nanny Lisa or the children’s godmother, Mary, came to send the two little boys. Rosalie has not been to the kindergarten for a while."Long time no see," Rosalie responded with a smile. "Lucian and Nox haven’t been causing any trouble for you in the class, right?"Miss Leigh Ann waved repeatedly. "Don’t you worry, they’re the most obedient children in the class."Hearing this, Rosalie felt relieved and handed the little boys over to the teacher.Little Estie held onto he
Along the way, Byron’s mind kept ruminating on Rosalie's heartless words.He thought that taking the little girl to see her would soften the woman’s heart, but he never expected her ruthlessness. He never thought Rosalie would say such a thing despite seeing the little girl being so worried about her.She asked him to not take the little girl to see her again in the future.That woman just did not want to see him.Byron’s mood was still foul and ugly as he entered the company. It was evident in his expression."Master," Luther greeted him respectfully and said, "President Quirke came over this morning and is waiting for you in your office."Byron retracted his thoughts, nodded, and walked into the office, followed by Luther.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Andrius sitting leisurely on the sofa with a document by his side.Seeing him enter the door, Andrius picked up the document, got up with a smile, sat on the chair opposite the desk, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Wh
"No wonder you asked me when Dr. Jacobs was going to S City two days ago! I thought you were urging me to complete my tasks, but I didn't expect it was your personal agenda!"As the realization hit him, Andrius mockingly looked at the person opposite him.Byron met his gaze noncommittally, his expression slightly darkening.His agenda was indeed personal, but the woman did not give a damn at all.Andrius raised his eyebrows again and asked, "Which means you must have gone to the dinner party that day. So how was it? Any progress in the relationship?" Andrius spoke only to see his friend’s expression get increasingly tense.Needless to say, he knew that the relationship between the two had not improved at all.Realizing this, Andrius was puzzled for a while.Byron was doing this to pursue her, so how could Rosalie be so indifferent?It was the first time he saw Byron put so much effort into a woman. If it were someone else, that person would have taken the initiative to throw
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
