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
Byron noticed her discomfort, so his arms that held her tightened again.Behind him, three little ones grabbed the hem of Byron’s shirt, and three pairs of eyes stared at the person in his arms.They walked like this all the way to the nearby clinic, where Byron carefully put her on the chair.It was not the first time that the clinic doctor had seen this kind of injury. While treating Rosalie's wound, he warned, "It's really comfortable to step on the sand with bare feet, but at night, you can't see the ground clearly, so I advise you to be careful."Rosalie blushed and agreed with a guilty conscience."The injury isn’t serious, but it’s still necessary to take good care of it. You should pay attention while walking for the next two days. Try not to put any force on the wound. In addition, the wound shouldn’t get wet."After the treatment, the doctor gave a stern reminder.Rosalie frowned in pain. Hearing this, Byron answered for her before she could react."Understood. I'm so
The group left the hotel overnight and returned to the city.Unlike when they came, the seating arrangements had changed. In order to help Rosalie sit more comfortably, Lucian sat in the front passenger seat, while Estie and Nox sat in the back with Rosalie.All the way home, the little ones looked at her injured foot with worry and wonder. It made Rosalie want to laugh and cry at their anticsFinally, when they were at the door of the villa, Rosalie leaned on the backrest and cautiously wanted to get out of the car. Just as she moved to the door of the car, a pair of big hands stretched out in front of her and placed them on her waist.Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds. She thought that since the kids had seen this scene several times since she got injured, presumably they would not think too much about it. Hence, she gave in and let Byron carry her into the villa.As soon as they entered the door, Nanny Lisa greeted them and saw Rosalie being carried by Byron. She was genuin
Byron glanced deeply at the person sitting on the sofa. He was unhappy but did not say anything. He briefly bade goodbye and took the little girl home.Rosalie was injured and was not able to get up to see them off.When the door of the villa was closed, Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief before falling into a daze.The experience these two days was like a dream when she thought about it now.After a lapse of six years, she once again stayed in the same room as Byron and even expressed her feelings to him from six years ago.Even more, Byron’s attitude toward her also made her feel like she was in a dream from time to time.It felt like… he had feelings for her.Rosalie shook it off and thought it was ridiculous that she had these illusions."Mommy." Lucian carefully tugged on the hem of her clothes.Rosalie came back to her senses and looked at the little boy wearily.Lucian looked at his mother's pale face, and he became concerned. "Are you tired? Let's help you get some res
Meanwhile, Byron was on the way home with Estie.The father and daughter had their own concerns, and for a while, the car was silent.Estie sat in the backseat, and her little face was staring at the shell bracelet on her wrist. She felt uneasy."Daddy, is Auntie trying to avoid us again?" Estie hesitated for a long time. However, she eventually could not help but ask.Although Rosalie had promised her that she could see her again, the little one was still afraid that Rosalie would continue to avoid them in the future.The little one's question hit the nail in Byron's heart. The man was silent for a few seconds before replying with a complicated mood, "I don’t know either."Hearing this, the little girl pouted her lips in disappointment. She carefully prodded. "Did Estie do badly this time?"‘I remember that Daddy said if I behaved well, Auntie would no longer avoid us.‘But Auntie liked me very much these two days. She even gave me a gift…’These thoughts made the little girl
"The situation is really strange."Luther slowly explained, "According to our investigation, the perpetrators are just rambunctious gangsters who have nothing to do with the Lawrence family or the Fuller family. There’s no reason for them to seek revenge on Madam and Miss Fuller."Although Byron had his own conjecture, his face darkened when he heard this. "Where are they now?"Luther said, "Those kids are very vigilant. Recently, there are some unknown people wandering in some entertainment places in the southern district. They should be the suspects who are hiding from us."Byron frowned and instructed. "Since they’re still in Coast City, find them as soon as possible."During this time, his mother had been using the matter of the car accident to force him to maintain the engagement.Byron did not want to be held ransom by this matter anymore.He desperately needed the truth!On the other end, Luther responded without hesitation, "Yes, I’ll send more people immediately, and w
Rosalie was injured, so it was inconvenient for her to move around. After returning from the hotel, she had been recuperating at home. Most of the matters in the research institute were dealt with by Dr. Graham over the phone.This morning, Xander Lancer's call came in.Seeing the caller ID, Rosalie's eyes turned slightly bright. She could probably guess the purpose of Xander's call.After all, after the free clinic, the only contact between the two of them was about the cooperation of the research institute.Before that, the Lancer family's research institute was still in the preparatory stage. Hence, their cooperation had not been on the right track.This call was very likely to discuss the specific matters of cooperation with her!Thinking of this, Rosalie stumbled into the study regardless of her foot injury."Miss Jacobs, I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?" Xander's smiling voice came through as soon as the line was connected.Rosalie smiled. "Of course not! Young Master
After lunch, Rosalie got ready and asked Lisa to accompany her to the appointment.When they got there, they saw that Xander was already waiting by the window.Seeing Rosalie being helped in, Xander frowned slightly, got up, and strode over to greet her. "Are you injured? Why didn't you tell me this morning?"Rosalie smiled lightly. "It’s just a small cut. It’s not a big deal."Xander frowned and glanced at her foot that could not touch the floor and reached out to help her to the seat.Lisa sat near the door waiting for them.After being seated, Rosalie immediately glanced at the stack of documents on the opposite, and her face turned serious. "Young Master Xander, you must have lots to say, so let's not waste time and get into it."Xander truly admired a strong woman like her and agreed immediately."As for the details of the cooperation between the two institutes, we should have finalized it a long time ago, but it was delayed for so long because of the Lancer family. A prop
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
