"Daddy!" Estie was struck by how handsome her Daddy was that she ran toward Byron’s arms.Byron squatted down to catch the little girl, straightened up with Estie in his arms, and looked at the woman in front of him.Rosalie only had light makeup on, but she was wearing a pure white princess gown. Her long hair was rolled up and secured with a small crystal tiara, which made her eyes glow. Her whole presence was dazzling.When she met his gaze, Rosalie smiled lightly, making him unable to look away.The two little boys stood quietly behind Rosalie, looking at the man standing opposite them. They imagined what they would look like when they grew up.Although they did not like Daddy, they could not deny that he was really handsome.They wondered if they would be as handsome as their father in the future."Let’s go in." Byron broke the silence and turned to lead the way.Rosalie nodded slightly and followed behind him with the two boys.The anniversary celebration event had not s
Charlie followed his mom and noticed that Lucian and Nox were chewing something, so he asked curiously, "Lucian, Nox, what are you eating?""Candy." The two boys opened their mouths to show him.After speaking, they rummaged their pockets again and looked at Charlie apologetically. "We've finished our stash. Otherwise, we could’ve shared some with you.” Hearing this, Charlie was a little disappointed.When Rosalie saw the little kid's sad face, her heart softened. She thought of all the candy in Estie's pocket, so she called out to Estie, "Estie, would you like to share some candies with Charlie?"The little girl turned around and nodded obediently, trying to get some candy from her pocket.But both her hands were held by Daddy, and the pockets of the witch's clothes were very low. The little one could not reach them after trying for a long time. She turned her head and looked at her daddy for help.Byron did not seem to notice the little one's actions and just kept walking for
Rosalie and Mrs. Cooper chatted all the way to the auditorium of the kindergarten.The auditorium was decorated in a fairy tale style, and all the children and parents were already seated below.Miss Leigh Ann was waiting at the door. First, she saw Byron and greeted him respectfully. Just as she was about to tell him the seating arrangements, she saw Rosalie and the others behind."Miss Jacobs, Mrs. Cooper." Miss Leigh Ann guessed that Rosalie should be with Byron. She said hello to Rosalie and the others as well.Rosalie and Mrs. Cooper responded with a smile."Did you help the children put on makeup? They look so cute!" Miss Leigh Ann looked at the little children and could not help but sigh.Although she had always known that the kids in the class were all adorable, they were all dressed up as characters from fairy tales for this anniversary event. Only now did Miss Leigh Ann realize that the little ones in the class were truly blessed with good features.The little kids smi
The lights under the stage were dim.Byron heard ripples of giggles coming from the child beside him and glanced at Estie inexplicably, only to see the kids whispering to each other in secrecy.Beside them, Rosalie had the same gleeful smile on her face.The scene looked heartwarming.However, the moment she met his gaze, the smile on the woman's face stiffened slightly.After a while, she lowered her eyes and turned her head, leaving him with an indifferent profile.Byron’s eyes darkened as he frowned and retracted his gaze.Their performance was the last event.As the current performance was about to end, the two took the kids backstage to wait for their turn.At first, they thought the kids would be somewhat nervous to perform in front of a crowd for the first time.Unexpectedly, the three little children were filled with anticipation, and their eyes were shining.Rosalie was relieved and waited for the host to announce their turn before bringing the little kids to the st
Rosalie was stunned.The man seemed to be certain that she would not turn her face on the stage and pressed his lips to hers for several seconds before slowly straightening up.Rosalie pinched her palm secretly so that she would not lose it in front of everyone. She slowly opened her eyelids.Byron stood beside her, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corners of his lips. The moment she looked at him again, it disappeared without a trace.From an angle that the audience could not see, Rosalie frowned slightly before getting up from the bed.Everything else was a blur toward the end of the performance. Because of Byron's sudden kiss just now, her mind was in chaos.It was the kids who came to get her for the curtain call. Rosalie barely recovered and bowed to the audience.The audience burst into applause.Everyone was immersed in the wonderful atmosphere between the two of them, and they did not notice whether the kiss just now was real or staged. They only knew that
Byron stood behind her and gazed at Rosalie's back for a long time.He did not know what the woman was thinking as she had yet to notice his presence. She just continued to sit alone. After a long time, Byron frowned and walked toward her.Rosalie came back to her senses after the man’s shadow fell in front of her. She raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her.When their gazes met, Rosalie frowned and stood up alertly. She took two steps back to pull apart the distance between them."What’s on your mind, Miss Jacobs? Why did you run out here after leaving Lucian and Nox behind?" Byron asked nonchalantly, and there was a hint of concern in his tone.Rosalie looked at the man in front of her and replied right away, "Didn’t you also leave Estie behind when you came out here?"Hearing this, his eyes darkened slightly. After a while, he pursed his lips. "Estie is worried about you, so I’m just out to help her check on you.”The man feigned nonchalance. Rosalie thought
Rosalie’s face turned ugly as she felt he was unreasonable.He kissed her in front of so many people, but now he told her that the matter had passed and there was no point in discussing it.He flipped the script and made it seem like she was making trouble out of nowhere!Byron saw the woman's annoyance and said, "Whether you believe it or not, this incident was indeed an accident. Besides, I have no reason to kiss you."Hearing this, Rosalie felt as though the anger in her heart was put out by a splash of cold water.Although she did not want to believe it, she had to admit that what Byron said was the truth. He had no reason to kiss her.After all, for so many years, Byron had always been deeply in love with Wendy. Now that they were engaged to be married, how could he leave Wendy and make such misleading actions in front of so many people?The more she thought about it, the angrier she was with herself.In fact, what was she thinking about just now?She was afraid she would
"Let’s have the first place winners come on stage to receive the prize!" The host smiled and looked in the direction of Rosalie and the rest.Rosalie subconsciously glanced at Byron on the other side, hoping that he could go up.The man sat calmly and showed no sign of getting up.Helpless, Rosalie had no choice but to get up and take the hot spring vacation coupons from the principal.The audience was full of envy as she crossed the stage.Thinking that these people might have seen the kiss just now, Rosalie did not want to stay on the stage for any longer than a second. She took the coupons, bowed hastily, and turned to step down.The three little kids looked at the holiday coupons in her hand, their faces full of excitement.Rosalie was absent-minded.After the event finally came to an end, Rosalie got up immediately and wanted to leave with the boys.Walking out of the auditorium, Estie's little voice rang out behind her. "Auntie, let's go together!"Rosalie could not hel
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
