"Mommy knows, I just haven’t bounced back from last night." Rosalie smiled at the boy placatingly.Nox stared at her suspiciously for a long time. Not seeing anything unusual from her face, the little boy nodded dubiously and hugged her with pursed lips.Rosalie caressed the boy’s head. "It's getting late, let's go down and eat!"The children nodded obediently.When the four of them got downstairs, a breakfast for five had already been set on the table. Thinking about it, Byron should have brought them in just now.The man was sitting on the sofa with his head down. His shirt cuffs were rolled up, revealing a slender forearm and his fingers were swiping across the phone screen. He looked to be dealing with work.Seeing this scene, Rosalie subconsciously held onto the children’s hands and asked them to slow down to not disturb Byron’s work.Although she had been plenty careful, the man still unexpectedly noticed them and looked up.Their gazes met and Rosalie could not help star
"Daddy, your complexion is so bad too."Estie sat down beside her daddy and noticed at first glance how ugly her daddy's complexion was.Hearing this, Rosalie subconsciously turned to look in Byron's direction. Byron turned so that his profile was facing her and spoke to Estie casually, "I was working yesterday and slept late."The little girl frowned. She sniffed the air for a long time before raising her hand to fan the tip of her nose. "Smells like alcohol."Byron was silent. He turned and grabbed some food for the little girl, without any plans to answer her.Fortunately, the little girl asked no further questions and was quickly distracted as she buried her head into her food seriously.Rosalie had a vague guess in her heart.She only drank a small portion of this bottle of wine, but now there was only this much left. Thinking about it, it should be Byron who had drunk quite a bit more after coming down last night.Taking a closer look, the man's complexion was indeed no
Seeing the child so eager, Rosalie’s heart softened and agreed."I’m done hiding!"Although the little girl had played hide-and-seek with Lucian and Nox so many times, she still did not change her habit of shouting out after hiding.Hearing the girl’s childish voice, Rosalie could not help but laugh.The two other children’s snickering laughter also sounded from the corner.Rosalie shook her head with amusement and reminded the children softly, "All hidden? Then here I come!"After saying that, she immediately walked in the direction where Lucian and Nox were hiding.The two boys were still complacent, thinking that the corner they found was secluded enough that it would be impossible to find them.They even thought about challenging the difficulty by changing their hiding location when Rosalie was looking for them.What they did not expect was that they would be caught by Rosalie the moment they came out of the corner.Met with Rosalie’s amused gaze, the two boys stood up in
Seeing the little girl get up, Rosalie quickly retracted her hand from the man's palm. It felt as if she could still feel the heat from the man's palm on the back of his hand.After calming down for a few seconds, Rosalie came back to her senses and hesitantly glanced at Byron’s hand.Although Estie was small and even a little thin, the blow just now really had not been light.Even she could not stop it.Not to mention how sharp the corners of the coffee table were.Byron’s hands...She wanted to see if Byron was injured, but the man seemed to have the same thought. He was hiding his hand as if nothing had happened, so she was not able to see clearly.Byron put down his phone after a while and glanced at the children who were blaming themselves. He said solemnly, "Let's go out and play."Hearing this, the children' eyes lit up.Byron got up and walked to the door. He grabbed a guide from the shelf and handed it to the children. "Discuss it among yourselves and see where you gu
When bandaging his wound, Rosalie could clearly feel the man's gaze on her substantively.Rosalie could not figure out the meaning in them. She wondered if he was thinking about what happened last night...Thinking of what happened the night before, Rosalie could not help but think of the bottle of red wine that was only left with one-third of its contents and she felt complicated again. Her dressing of Byron’s wound was a bit rough."Is it done?" Byron asked with confusion after seeing her having no other actions despite waiting for a long time.Rosalie suddenly came back to her senses and nodded calmly. "Almost."Hearing this, Byron looked down at the gauze in his hand. He raised a brow and said meaningfully, "Miss Jacob's medical skills are also dependent on the person?"Rosalie could not help but be stunned for a moment. She followed his gaze, only to see that the bandaging he was sporting was indeed a bit ugly.For a moment, Rosalie's face turned uncontrollably red. She o
After they confirmed the afternoon itinerary, Byron arranged for the yacht to be prepared, then headed out with Rosalie and the three little ones.When they got to the beach, the staff members were ready and already waiting for them."President Lawrence, the yacht and people are all ready. This is our largest and best-performing yacht, and there are two diving instructors on board. If you’re interested, you can also try diving. This sea area is very safe," the staff members greeted them enthusiastically as soon as they saw them and gave the party of five a brief introduction as well. Byron nodded slightly coldly.Rosalie felt a little inexplicably odd.The staff members here seemed to have a lot of respect for Byron.They even recognized Byron.Then again, she thought of the Lawrence family's status in Coast City, and Byron had mentioned before that it was not his first time at this resort. Rosalie eventually let go of the doubts in her heart.The group of people boarded the y
Not long after, Rosalie changed into a diving suit and put on diving equipment under the guidance of the diving instructor.Seeing the woman being led into the water by the diving instructor, Byron’s eyes darkened, and his heart became inexplicably nervous."Mommy!""Auntie!" The little ones also looked at the two in the sea nervously.Hearing the voices of the little children, Rosalie raised her head with a smile, made an okay gesture to them, and turned her head to the instructor to signal that she was ready.After a while, the two held their breaths and slowly submerged underwater.From the yacht, only the occasional bubbles churning could be seen from where the spot they dived.The little children looked at each other, their faces were full of worry. They even regretted letting Rosalie try."Uncle, will Mommy be in danger?" Nox could not help but look at Byron on his side.When Byron heard this, he suppressed his own anxiety and comfortingly patted the boy’s head. “No, s
"Mommy!""Auntie!" The three kids looked at the people on the sea excitedly and let out a long sigh of relief.Rosalie smiled and waved to the little ones.Soon, the staff lowered the ladder and let them on board.Although the dive was very enjoyable for Rosalie, it did consume a lot of physical strength. When she climbed the ladder, she found it a little laborious.The instructor waited below and wanted to lift up his arms to lend her some strength.However, he suddenly felt a sullen look fall on him, and his heart shrank unconsciously.Looking up, he saw that Byron had walked to the ladder discreetly. His eyes swept away from the instructor and fell on Rosalie.For a while, the instructor's hand froze in the air for a few seconds. Then, he silently retracted them.Something told him that if his hands really touched Rosalie, he would probably lose his hands in the future.Rosalie struggled to climb and subconsciously looked back at the instructor for help but saw that the
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
