Old Master Quirke knew about Old Master Lancer’s meeting with Rosalie today.That night, after the old master had dinner, he called Old Master Lancer to ask about their partnership.Andrius was also sitting to one side. When he learned that the Lancer family had agreed to cooperate with Rosalie, he immediately reported the good news to Byron.In Lawrence Manor, Byron had just coaxed Estie to sleep when he received a call from Andrius.“What is it?"Andrius' voice was full of joy. “Let me tell you a piece of good news. The Lancer family has already agreed to cooperate with Dr. Jacobs, so she probably won't be going abroad in the meantime.”At that, Byron’s brow was raised, and he nodded with satisfaction. "You did a pretty good job."On the other end, Andrius added, "However, this also means that Dr. Jacobs will be in contact with that person from the Lancers in the time to come."Byron’s brows furrowed slightly. "What do you mean?""Xander is in charge of Lancer Research Insti
Lawrence Manor.After Byron hung up the call, he stood at the door to Estie’s room emotionlessly for a long time. His mind was filled with the images of Rosalie together with other men. Six years ago, the woman left cruelly just like that.He searched for her for a whole six years.Now that she was finally back, Byron naturally would not allow this woman to be with other men.Byron was already furious after seeing her several interactions with Leon during this period of time.Now, the woman was going to work with Xander, and the time they would be spending together would only grow.If something were to happen between the two of them...Thinking of this, the pressure surrounding Byron was so frighteningly low.He definitely would not allow that to happen.As for the woman, he could no longer tolerate her avoiding him like this!…Byron spent several days trying to improve his relationship with Rosalie because of what Andrius said.He went to pick up Estie in person the pas
“Estelle, what’s wrong? Why are you sad?”Byron could not help but ask when he saw the little girl eating her meal gloomily.Estie pursed her lips and accused her daddy, “You don’t like Auntie anymore.”Hearing the child say this, Byron was somewhat surprised. He was silent for a few seconds before asking again in a deep voice, “Why do you say that?”Estie looked at him gloomily. “We can see Auntie during the anniversary celebration. But Daddy isn’t looking forward to it at all.”Byron’s brow jumped uncontrollably. “I’m looking forward to it.”Hearing this, the little girl gave him a look of disbelief. Her daddy obviously did not show an ounce of joy in the car just now.Even if he was denying it now, there was no expectation on his face.Daddy was lying!Byron frowned helplessly when he noticed the little girl’s doubts. "I’m just thinking that we can't go on like this anymore."The little girl tilted her head in confusion.Byron caressed her head. He knew that if he wante
On the other hand, Rosalie also saw the message that was sent to the group and felt a little hesitant.She had just confirmed the partnership with the Lancers and would be trying to cooperate with them as much as possible. Who knew if she would be busy during this time?Also, if she were to go to the anniversary celebration, she would inevitably meet Byron and his daughter.At the very least, she would still see Estie.She really could not bear to see the little girl's pitiful little face.The two boys were telling her about the anniversary celebration when they saw Miss Leigh Ann's message in the group chat. They then saw the expression on their mommy's face and asked her carefully, "Mommy, will you go? "Hearing the boys’ tone, Rosalie felt put on the spot even more. “Will you guys be fine if I don’t go?”The boys looked at each other before shaking their heads at her. “We wanna go with Mommy!”Both of them were actually fine with anything, but if their mommy were to particip
In the afternoon the next day, Rosalie was eating lunch when she suddenly saw Miss Leigh Ann post the group list for the activities in the message group. She clicked into it to see it.The moment she clicked in, she saw her name at the top, and next to it was Byron's name.Rosalie was stunned for a moment. She read it vertically again, then confirmed with Miss Leigh Ann. "Miss Leigh Ann, should I be looking at the grouping list horizontally or vertically?"If she were to read it horizontally, she would be in the same group as Byron.Worrying about something increased the chances of it happening, but this still seemed too much of a coincidence.Miss Leigh Ann quickly replied: [Miss Jacobs, it’s read sideways.]Seeing Miss Leigh Ann's reply, Rosalie's expression froze on her face. Hoping that it was a fluke, she asked again: [Can you change the groups?]Miss Leigh Ann was coordinating the group changes for the other parents. When she saw Rosalie’s message, she replied guiltily: [I
Hearing Rosalie's answer, the boys were even more careful. "Mommy, will you still go, then?"Rosalie could tell what the boys were thinking and shook her head helplessly.They thought she would not be attending anymore and grabbed her clothes anxiously while complaining in a whiny manner, "Mommy, you promised us. You can't go back on your word! If you don't want to talk to Uncle, we’ll help you stop him!"Hearing this, Rosalie could not help but be amused. She touched the boys’ heads and comforted them. "Don't worry, I won’t back out now since I already agreed to you two. Miss Leigh Ann has already determined the list as well, and I can’t possibly trouble her to change it.”Hearing that their mommy would still be attending, the boys heaved a sigh of relief.Rosalie thought of the person who was in the same group as them and felt a little heavy-hearted. "Do you know the name of the stage play we’re going to do?" she asked the boys. She heard from Miss Leigh Ann that the stage pla
After the principal had said all this, Rosalie naturally did not think it would be polite of her to say anything more, so she just forced a smile. "Since it’s inconvenient, then it’s fine."After she said that, the principal on the other end responded almost immediately, "Thank you, Miss Jacobs, for cooperating with our work."He wanted to hang up hurriedly after saying that, fearing that Rosalie might regret it. "If there is nothing else, I will hang up here first. There will be other parents who will be contacting me."Rosalie agreed.Ending the call, Rosalie looked at the Sleeping Beauty note in her hand with helplessness on her face."Mommy." Seeing Rosalie's expression, the two boys called out to her cautiously.Rosalie looked down at them, her expression still a little ugly.The boys looked at her nervously. "Does Mommy not like this theme?"Rosalie subconsciously nodded."Why? Is this story bad? Can Mommy tell us?" The boys were really curious.Rosalie frowned slightly
"Sleeping Beauty, with Miss Jacobs."Byron had even looped Rosalie in at the end of his reply.Rosalie had already withdrawn herself from the group after she replied but suddenly noticed herself being flocked by mentions. Her heart tensed and she opened the group chat again.She saw Byron’s reply the moment she entered.She did not know if the parents were surprised by Byron's sudden messaging, or if they were waiting for her, the subject’s reply. There were no new messages in the group for a long time.Rosalie frowned slightly. She stared at Byron’s message for a long time before leaving the group chat with mixed feelings.She really did not know what this guy was thinking.The boys were sitting beside Rosalie obediently and when they saw Rosalie's expression, they felt more and more uneasy. They were afraid that their mommy would tell them in the next second that she did not want to attend the event anymore."Mommy, I'm so sleepy, let's go to bed first." The boys yawned befor
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
