Hearing what Andrea said, Andrius glanced at the old master subconsciously. The old master’s face was filled with suspicion. Earlier, they had a good talk. Byron said something came up at the office and left in a hurry. Why did Andrea say he was angry?Looking at his granddaughter, it seemed like Byron was furious. Was it because of what happened at the office? However, Andrius knew what was going on. He knew that his buddy must have gotten into an argument with Rosalie again. Every time he painstakingly created an opportunity for them, these two almost always ended up fighting. He did not know if they were sick of this, but Andrius was. When Andrea saw Grandpa and her brother’s expressions, she was perplexed. She thought that a conflict had come up between them and Byron, but from what she saw now, Byron’s anger seemed to have nothing to do with them. Why was that so? Even when she mentioned Wendy, Byron was dismissive. …As she was leaving the Quirke family’s ho
The office was empty, and Rosalie was the only one there. Rosalie turned on the computer and thought of continuing her understanding of congenital diseases in children. However, nothing was entering her mind. The reason why she chose to return to the research institute was to let herself forget about Byron’s tone of speech and attitude through working. However, she did not expect everyone to value her participation in the free clinic this time so much.Now that she was sitting in the office all alone, Rosalie only had mixed feelings.Even after reading materials for a long time, the contents that she absorbed were very little. Just when she felt fretful, the phone on the table rang. Rosalie took a hold of the phone and glanced at it. When she saw the incoming call, she felt a faint headache. After hesitating for a while, she answered it at last. “Rosalie, how’s the preparation going?”As soon as she answered the call, Leon’s voice echoed through. Rosalie suppressed her
The night before the free clinic, Rosalie could not help but feel a little nervous. After having her dinner, she went into the study early to review the materials that she had prepared in the past few days. A while into it, there was a knock on the door. Rosalie retrieved her gaze from the computer screen and raised her voice to answer. “Come in.” After she spoke, she saw the two little guys push open the study door. They came in with a smile. Lucian was holding a cup of tea in his hands, while Nox was holding a slice of cake. “Thanks, sweethearts.” Seeing the little guys placing the things beside her hands, Rosalie smiled as she caressed their heads. The little guys smiled like angels and stretched their heads to see the information on Rosalie’s computer at the same time.When they were abroad, it could be said that they had grown up in the research institute. As they were in such an environment for a long time, they had some knowledge of this information. They knew wha
After saying goodbye to the little guys, Rosalie started driving to the location of the Lancer family’s free clinic.The free clinic was set to start at 10 o’clock in the morning. Rosalie was afraid she would run late and already started her journey from home at eight o’clock. After returning to Coast City, she almost always stayed in the city and was unfamiliar with the road conditions. Although the navigation was on, she still ended up taking many detours. When she reached the entrance of the orphanage, there were already many cars parked in front of it. From the looks of it, it seemed like she was a little late. Rosalie frowned in annoyance and grabbed ahold of the recommendation letter. She rushed down from the car and quickly walked toward the entrance. There was a line at the front. They were all doctors from all over the world who had a recommendation letter to participate in the free clinic. They were generally close to being middle-aged. When it was Rosalie’s turn
At the door of the dean’s office upstairs, Leon had just come out. He saw Rosalie heading in and smiled as he greeted her, “Just arrived?” Rosalie nodded. The thought of the mishap earlier felt funny to her, but there was no time to tell him about it. “Young Master Xander is waiting inside. You should head in quickly. There weren’t many people introduced to the family this year. It might be only the two of us,” Leon added again. Rosalie was a little confused. She had no idea what this had to do with being introduced to the Lancer family. Without waiting for her to ask, the worker already knocked on the door. Rosalie could only fix her expression and follow behind to enter. Upon entering, she saw a thin young man. Perhaps because of his thinness, the man’s already deep facial features looked sharper.“Young Master Xander, this is Dr. Jacobs whom the Quirke family recommended,” the worker said in a low voice. The man raised his gaze and looked at Rosalie. As she looked in
When Old Master Quirke was bedridden, the Lancer family had also regularly sent many doctors over to improve his health, but since Old Master Quirke was too weak, they did not dare to use methods that were too aggressive.From what they had heard from Old Master Quirke, this woman went all out, even stepping into dangerous waters while trying her methods. She then successfully cured Old Master Quirke.After listening to Rosalie’s analysis, Xander could not help but ask, “At that time, with Old Master Quirke’s health being at the state that it was, on what basis did you decide to use such a method?”Rosalie was slightly stunned. She remembered how she was just pushing her luck when she decided to go all out, but if she were to say that to Xander, he might not believe her since the approach she took was far too risky.Thinking about that, Rosalie hesitated for a while before she explained, “I read it somewhere in a book previously. It was pure luck that Old Master Quirke had a simila
Rosalie briskly walked to her room, and there was already a doctor waiting inside. The doctor saw that a young woman had walked in and assumed that she was here by recommendation from the aristocrats to gain a shiny certificate of participation. He paid her no attention.Leon walked in after Rosalie.Every room was equipped with at least two to three doctors and a staff member who worked directly under the Lancers.The team in their room could be said to be the golden team. There were two aristocrat-recommended doctors, one considerably famed holistic doctor, and Xander Lancer himself physically present.After Leon walked in, the look on the man’s face changed. He stood up with a smile and walked over. “Young Master Leon, long time no see.”Leon nodded nonchalantly. “Doctor Rand, long time no see, indeed.”Lucius Rand smiled solicitously at Leon and followed behind him. He was caring as he placed all his attention on Leon, completely ignoring Rosalie.Rosalie did not mind his la
After the explanation ended and the room became quiet, Lucius immediately approached Xander quietly. “Young Master Lancer, when will the free consultation start?”Xander took a quick look at the time and answered slowly, “Soon. Just wait for a bit. They’re doing the preparations outside.”Lucius nodded and stole a strange glance at Rosalie then turned to Xander again. “I assume the workload on our side will be quite heavy today. Do you think we need to request one or two more doctors from the other rooms?” Hearing this, Rosalie and the rest looked at him in confusion as they did not understand why he would propose such a request.Xander even asked him directly, “Why do you say so, Dr. Rand? Do you think we won’t be able to handle the kids?”Lucius waved his hand. “We have four doctors here. Of course, that’s enough, but… I’m just worried that we might miss out on anything during the examinations and mistakes are made.”He hinted at Rosalie as he spoke. It was obvious that he a
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
