She felt regretful about her best friend being the one who helped her fetch her children the past two days.After dealing with work in the morning, Rosalie took the time to go to the Quirke household in the afternoon, thinking that she could pick up the two little ones by herself in the evening.When she arrived at the Quirke household, she checked Old Master Quirke's condition. Confirming that there were no complications, she continued with the treatment process and inserted the needles.While she was extracting the needles later on, Andrius came in with a document. "Dr. Jacobs, this is the contract prepared. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, you can sign it."This was what they had agreed on last night. Rosalie was not surprised either. She accepted it and looked it through carefully before leaving her signature. After signing the contract, Andrius' attitude toward her became even friendlier. "From now on, we’ll have a working relationship. However, I still have to t
Rosalie nodded noncommittally. She held the boys’ hands and headed over to greet the teacher.Just as they were about to leave, her eyes unconsciously fell onto the little girl again. Noticing that the three of them seemed to be leaving, Estie hurriedly stood up from the slide and looked at them straight.The teacher who had been at the side was afraid of her falling. She quickly reached out and grabbed her."She’s..."Rosalie hesitated for a moment but could not stop herself from worrying.The two had already guessed what she wanted to ask and rushed to answer, "Mommy, she also goes to school here and is in the same class with us! Her parents haven't arrived to pick her up yet today, so she was waiting here with us!"Rosalie nodded with understanding. She glanced at the little girl in front of her and went soft, but she did not intend to stay.After all, it was likely that it was either Byron or Wendy who would be coming to pick her up later.She did not want to see either o
"I recalled you came back from abroad. I suppose Lucian and Nox grew up overseas. I didn't expect them to be fluent with the local language." The teacher had also just come up with an excuse for the time being. Lucian’s and Nox's performance in class had been too good. At present, there was nothing else they could talk about, so they just discussed trivialities.Rosalie nodded with a smile. "That's because there were many of our countrymen around us who communicated with them in the language."The little ones said nothing but smiled obediently. They nodded along with whatever their mommy was saying.Seeing that they were so good, the teacher could not help admiring them. "In addition to speaking our language and English, they seem to be able to speak F Language too?""Well, they learned it from my colleagues abroad."Rosalie caressed their heads. Hearing this, the teacher could not help but sigh. "If that's the case, they’re too smart. Mastering three languages at such a young
Knowing that he was late, Byron did not notice the two in the car as he strode into the kindergarten.He noticed two people standing next to the slide the moment he entered, as well as Estie who had practically burrowed herself into Rosalie's arms."Estie’s Daddy, you're here!"The teacher respectfully greeted immediately upon seeing who had arrived.Byron nodded slightly and he walked to the front of the three of them. He glanced at his daughter, then looked at Rosalie coldly. "Why are you here?"Sensing the hostility surrounding the man, Rosalie inexplicably frowned.To the side, the teacher looked at them in surprise. "Do you two… know each other?"She had thought that Rosalie did not know Estie just now.However, it was not hard to imagine that they would know each other considering Estie's dependence on Rosalie.Rosalie nodded to the teacher noncommittally and then met the man's eyes. "I came to pick up my children from school, but your daughter wouldn’t let go of my clot
She felt ridiculous after her anger subsided, however.She did not have the right.In his eyes, she had never been qualified…She laughed at herself. Lowering her gaze, she slowly and ruthlessly pried the little girl's hand that was gripping her clothes off without saying anything.The little girl wanted to reach out again, but her hand only caught air."Lucian and Nox are still waiting for me. Be good and go back home with your daddy. I'm going to go look for them now."Rosalie caressed her head before putting her hands back on her sides. She hurriedly bade the teacher goodbye and then left without looking back.When she got to the car, the two little boys were already sitting down properly. Seeing that she had come, they asked her naively, "Mommy, what happened to you?"Rosalie took a deep breath and forced a smile. "It's nothing. Let's go home."With that, she started the car and drove away from the gates of the kindergarten.On the other side, Byron was still standing in
Estie sulked the entire journey home.Ignoring her daddy behind her, she went upstairs sulkily and locked the door angrily.Standing by the door, Mrs. Zora saw the little lady's angry appearance and her master's expressionless one as he followed behind. She knew that these two had fought again."Master, what’s the little lady angry about?"Hearing the slamming of the door upstairs, Mrs. Zora looked at Byron with concern.Byron thought of the reason why the little girl was angry with him, and his tone was cold. "It’s nothing. She’s just throwing a temper tantrum. Look after her."Mrs. Zora nodded as usual and agreed. "Alright."She was also unaware why the little lady, who seldom showed her temper, was always getting angry at the master.Considering the master’s character, he was not one to coax another either.The point was, this family still needed a mistress.Estie was only angry at Byron. When Mrs. Zora came knocking, she still opened the door obediently.“Little Lady, co
It was the weekend the next day, and the boys did not need to go to kindergarten.Rosalie had planned to take them to the research institute.As she was just getting ready to head out, she heard the doorbell ring.Rosalie only thought that Mary had come over, so she got up to open the door.When she saw the person standing at the door, Rosalie's brows suddenly knitted together. "Estie? Why are you here?"With that, she subconsciously looked up and around, thinking that Byron would be waiting in the distance.Unexpectedly, there was no other figure at the door except for Estie after she looked around.Rosalie retracted her gaze. She crouched down and looked into the little girl's eyes. "Tell me, how did you get here? Did your daddy send you here?"Based on Byron's attitude toward her at the kindergarten yesterday, it was highly unlikely that he would let Estie come find her.Rosalie could only think of this possibility at present, however.Estie was wearing a white dress and c
Byron stopped working abruptly. "I'll head back right away!"He hung up the call and hurried back to Lawrence Manor without stopping."What happened? How did she go missing when there were so many of you watching?" Back at the villa, Byron asked in a deep voice.The servants stood in the living room fearfully. Under the pressure of his anger, they were afraid to look up.The housekeeper spoke carefully, "We aren’t sure ourselves... The little lady returned to her room after having breakfast this morning. Mrs. Zora went up to look for her but found that she already disappeared."Byron frowned. “What about surveillance?”The housekeeper mourned. "Master, I’m not sure when… the monitors were switched off. We just happen to not have surveillance from this morning."Hearing this, Byron’s expression sank abruptly.The living room was silent.Everyone lowered their heads in fear, wanting very much to hide within the cracks in the ground.Who would have thought that the little lady w
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
