The boys thought they guessed it right, so they were not upset anymore. Instead, they comforted Rosalie. "If you don’t want to see Uncle Byron, then don’t. We’ll take good care of Estie!"Daddy was so ruthless that he abandoned them and Mommy. They did not want to see Daddy either!Rosalie smiled with relief. "Mommy saw you doing just that."Hearing this, the boys began to take credit with excitement.The car became lively again.Rosalie also relaxed a lot. No matter what the little ones said to her, she responded to every question patiently.When they got back, Rosalie even cooked with Nanny Lisa and whipped up a sumptuous dinner for the little ones.After dinner, Rosalie played with the boys for a while. When they fell asleep, she got up and went back to her room.Rosalie felt a little confused as she thought of Estie in the evening.The last time the little girl came to see her, she was very happy in front of her.However, today, the little girl's mood was indeed visibly d
The next day, there was not much work in the research institute. After lunch, Rosalie briefly dealt with the remaining work and brought some nutritional products developed by the research institute to the Quirke family’s home.Andrius was already waiting for her in the living room.Seeing that Andrius was alone in the living room, Rosalie asked in confusion, "Where's Old Master Quirke?"Andrius pointed upstairs. "He is taking a nap upstairs at the moment. We didn’t expect you to come so early.”Rosalie nodded in comprehension and lowered her voice subconsciously. "The research institute just happened to be less busy today. Old Master Quirke has helped me so much during this time. I thought of giving him a thorough check-up again."Andrius nodded. "Sure, just wait for him to wake up. Let's sit downstairs for a while."Rosalie did not think too much about it. She put down the nutritional supplements and sat down on the single sofa next to Andrius as they chatted about the old man's
At that moment, the atmosphere in the living room was rigid.Andrius had a headache when he saw that neither of them wanted to speak. He tried so hard to get them to meet, but nothing seemed to work at all.He did not know why Byron even agreed to come.No matter what, Andrius still had to bite the bullet and liven up the atmosphere."The Lancer family’s free clinic should be held this weekend. I wonder how are your preparations, Dr. Jacobs?"Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. "I’ve prepared everything I can possibly think of. If there are no accidents, even if it won’t be perfect, it shouldn’t go wrong.” Andrius glanced at the man beside him, hoping he would say something.However, Byron did not seem to hear it. He just sat there, expressionless.Seeing this, Andrius sighed inwardly. He could not understand why he came here today.Withdrawing his gaze from Byron, Andrius turned his head to look at Rosalie nonchalantly. He said in a serious tone, "Dr. Jacobs, don’t worry too
Byron watched the woman laugh in glee, his expression becoming increasingly tense. He could not help but ask, "So, you have a good relationship with Young Master Leon, Dr. Jacobs?"Rosalie and Andrius were both stunned when he suddenly spoke.Andrius was keenly aware of the tension in the air and silently kept his mouth shut. He tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.Rosalie was momentarily stunned, then she looked at the man indifferently. "I’ve known my senior for a long time. Leon has always taken care of me, so I’m also very grateful to him."Byron’s lips tightened as he retorted, "Really? Have you known him longer than we have known each other?"Rosalie's heart tightened suddenly, and he glanced at Andrius beside her.Byron's statement was almost equivalent to telling Andrius about their past relationship.Andrius sat there with an unchanging expression as if he had not heard Byron’s words.Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief, then she frowned and looked at the ma
Byron frowned and murmured, "I see. I'll try my best to restrain myself."Andrius sighed in relief, then turned and walked to Old Master Quirke's room. "Grandpa should be awake by now, so go in and see him. Since you haven't been here in so long, Grandpa will be very happy to see you."Byron followed after Andrius. "I’ve been really busy.""You say that, but you still had time to follow Dr. Jacobs to S City," Andrius teased.Just thinking about what had happened in S City brought a sour expression to Byron’s face. "I just happened to have a project that I had to deal with in S City."Andrius smiled knowingly but said nothing.The two walked to the door of Old Master Quirke's room. Andrius raised his hand and knocked on the door. After hearing Old Master Quirke's response from inside, he opened the door and walked in."Grandpa, Byron’s here to see you," Andrius said to Old Master Quirke with a smile. Byron respectfully greeted Old Master Quirke, "Hello, Old Man Quirke."Old M
Downstairs, Old Master Quirke spoke up again, this time with gentle persuasion, "You’re still young, so don't make your life revolve around your work. I heard that the kid from the Martin family will also be participating in the free clinic this time. If I remember correctly, the two of you seemed to get along well with each other during my last birthday party?"In other words, he wanted Rosalie to consider Leon as a potential partner.Hearing Old Master Quirke's words, Rosalie could not help feeling a little helpless.Old Master Quirke seemed to greatly concern himself with her marriage. First, he asked her to consider Andrius, then two days ago, he brought up the current representative of the Lancer family. Now, it was Leon. He was practically doing all he could to find someone for her. "That kid from the Martin family is also a doctor. I have to say, the two of you seem like you would be a good match." Old Master Quirke had pondered over this carefully, and he emphasized it wit
Seeing Rosalie leave just like that, Byron's eyes darkened, but he stood up as if nothing had happened. "Old Master Quirke, I suddenly remember that there’s still some unfinished business at the company. I’m at ease now that I know you’re recovering well. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave."Old Master Quirke frowned slightly. Did Byron not just tell him that he was free for these two days? Why did he suddenly have work to do?However, when he thought about how Byron was carrying the burden of the entire Lawrence family on his shoulders, it was somewhat understandable."I was going to ask you to stay for a meal, but since you have matters to attend to, I won't keep you any longer. The company is important, so go quickly." Old Master Quirke then urged earnestly, saying, "Remember to rest and don't overwork yourself. "Byron promised to do so, then got up and left.Seeing his friend's attitude, Andrius quickly got up and followed after him. "I'll send you off!"The tw
Byron ignored her question and just stared at her coldly. "How far has your relationship with him developed?"Upon hearing the question, Rosalie frowned sharply. She lowered her voice to a mutter. "Byron, you’d better stop your nonsense. There’s nothing between me and Leon. Even if there is, what does it have to do with you? What right do you have to ask me about my private affairs?"Byron tightened his grip, trying his best to suppress his anger.The tension in the air between them was so thick that one could slice through it with a knife. Just looking at this obstinate man in front of her made Rosalie feel a wave of exhaustion wash over her body."President Lawrence, please know your place." After a long pause, Rosalie lowered her gaze and coldly said, "I'm leaving, so would you be so kind as to let go of my arm?"The grip on her wrist slackened.Rosalie swiftly withdrew her hand, then looked up at the person before her. "I’m seriously just friends with Leon, so please don't
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
