They stayed on the beach until nightfall. As more and more people came to the beach, Rosalie could not help but think of the experience last night.Although a day had passed, Rosalie was still a little worried when she saw the crowd, so she left the beach with the kids.Coincidentally, it was also time for dinner. Byron took them to a nearby restaurant.The little ones had their pockets full of shells. While they were at the table, they excitedly laid the seashells they had collected on the table to compare with each other’s shells.Rosalie watched with a smile as she looked at the little ones being competitive with each other. She thought it was funny and cute.After a while, the waiter came to serve the dishes, and the little ones reluctantly put away their treasures.After playing all afternoon, everyone was rather hungry. They were very focused when eating, so almost no one spoke.The two adults took the little ones to the handicraft workshop right after dinner.Various too
Rosalie quickly made the bracelet, looked up, saw that the kids were still busy, and waited quietly."Auntie!"After a while, Estie's sweet little voice broke the silence, and the little girl held up a finished conch keychain in front of her.Rosalie was stunned. She thought that the little girl wanted her to evaluate her handicraft and praised her with a smile. "Wow, Estie, your work is so beautiful!"The beautiful conch that Estie picked up was already colorful, but the little girl then added on a blue buckle which made the keychain even more eye-catching.It was a very suitable accessory for the little girl's school bag.Rosalie's eyes were full of joy as she pictured the little girl walking on the road with her school bag and this conch keychain hanging on the side.The next second, the little girl added, “This is for you!"Hearing this, Rosalie's smile froze. She looked at the little girl in disbelief.She still remembered how much the little girl liked the conch when she
Rosalie's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard what the little boys said.For the first time in years, they were keeping something a secret from her.Suddenly, Rosalie became even more curious about the little boys’ works.After waiting for an unknown time, the little boys finished their crafts.This time, Rosalie was sure that she was not mistaken. They indeed looked up at Byron who was not far away.Even Byron noticed the probing eyes of the little guys, and he frowned in confusion.The two little ones held the work in their hands mysteriously, ran around the workshop, and found a milky white seashell glowing with fluorescence. After opening the shell, they could put their handmade work in.The fluorescent seashells were for sale, so the boys used their own pocket money and bought them.After these series of actions, the boys walked up to Byron cautiously.As the little boys stood in front of him, Byron’s brows furrowed. He even faintly wondered whether the boys wanted
"It's getting late."Rosalie stood up and nonchalantly walked to the two little boys. "Let's go back.”She spoke as she casually took them away from Byron's side.The little boys did not notice anything odd about Mommy at all. They just blinked and nodded obediently.Byron noticed her demeanor as she retreated with the children, and his face darkened.The woman’s actions could not be more obvious. She felt that the two children were too close to him.‘So, is she the one behind the children’s intense resistance toward me before?‘Does she hate me so much?’Rosalie nodded to him indifferently, took Lucian and Nox over to settle the bill, and led them out of the workshop. She left Little Estie behind.The little girl sat alone behind the desk, not knowing what was going on.She had also exchanged gifts with Auntie just now.However, in a blink of an eye, Auntie left with the brothers, leaving her and Daddy behind.The little girl glanced at her daddy dully with a bit of inquir
The two boys were led by Rosalie, and along the way, Rosalie did not say a word. The boys became a little worried.They did not know what was wrong. They only felt that Mommy suddenly seemed unhappy."Mommy..." Nox said cautiously, "Aren't we bringing Little Estie along?"Rosalie came back to her senses after hearing the little boy's words and remembered that in her panic, she forgot about Estie.However, it was impossible to go back now.Rosalie hesitated for a moment, then patted the little boy's head soothingly. "Uncle will take Little Estie back."Hearing this, the little guys nodded obediently but still asked, "Mommy, why are you unhappy? Weren't we okay just now?"Although they had been concentrating on their handicrafts, they knew that Estie and Mommy had given each other gifts.It stood to reason that Mommy should be very happy.However, she seemed a little flustered now.Lucian frowned and raised his eyes to look at his mother. "Is it because we gave Uncle Byron a gi
Byron’s brows wrinkled slightly as he glanced at the two little boys beside her."We want to accompany Mommy!" The little boys held Rosalie's hand.Rosalie had no choice but to agree, so she said to Byron, "Well then, President Lawrence, you bring Estie back first. I’ll go back with the boys in a while."Byron noticed that his little girl was grabbing the hem of his clothes with extra strength. She was obviously reluctant to leave.However, the woman had already turned around and was walking away with the boys."Auntie..." Estie looked at their backs sadly.Byron's eyes darkened, but he was still worried about the three of them. He knew that Rosalie would not want them to follow along, so he took Estie to a nearby restaurant and waited.Rosalie took the boys to a place with lesser people, took off her shoes, and sat on the beach.The cool sea breeze blew on her face, and she gradually calmed down.The two brothers stayed by her side and did not dare to mess around. They were m
Byron’s face sank upon hearing Lucian’s words. "Where is she? Take us there!"The boy ran to the direction he came from immediately.Byron carried Estie and followed behind him with big strides....Rosalie was still worried about Lucian who ran away by himself. After waiting for a while, she said softly to Nox, "Help me up. Let's go look for your brother." The little boy shook his head and refused without hesitation. "Mommy, you’re hurt and shouldn’t move around. Brother will find someone soon!"Rosalie frowned, but patiently tried to convince him. "I’m worried about your brother. Although I know you boys won't let yourselves get into trouble, I’ll still be scared."Mommy's words somewhat shook the younger brother’s resolve.‘I don't want to make Mommy's injury worse, and I don't want Mommy to worry about us either…’Just as he was hesitating whether or not to listen to Mommy and help her up, Lucian’s breathless voice came from a distance."Mommy! Mommy! I've brought someon
The atmosphere seemed to be in a deadlock for a moment.Rosalie looked at the little boys who stood still for a long time and felt embarrassed.She thought that Byron had already returned to the hotel with Estie.Even if Lucian went to find someone for help, it should just be a stranger.She never expected that he would bring Byron.She wanted to be brave, but the little boys did not give her this chance and left her hanging.For a while, no one moved.Rosalie gritted her teeth secretly with one hand on the ground as she tried to stand up by himself.Seemingly aware of her intentions, Byron cast a gaze on her that was mixed with a touch of displeasure.Rosalie struggled to move.The next second, the man moved.Rosalie watched the man walk to her feet, lean over, and grab her ankle.She instinctively wanted to hide, but it was too late. The man held her ankle and lifted her injured foot. Rosalie could even feel the tip of his finger brushing past her wound.Rosalie instinct
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
