Andrius talked the entire night; Byron just frowned and agreed.Byron kept recalling what Andrius said while on the way back.He should lower his stance in front of Rosalie. It was not that he did not want to, but he could not control himself every time the woman made him angry. Often when he thought about it afterwards, he would regret it.Now it seemed that he had to control my emotions.After all, it was indeed because of him that they became what they were now.It was nearly ten o'clock when he returned to Lawrence Manor.At this time usually, Estie should have already been sleeping.However, the moment Byron opened the door to the villa, he heard the little girl’s room door opening upstairs.Looking up, he saw the little guy standing on her tiptoes. Her lips were pursed as he stared at him.Meeting the little girl’s gaze, Byron frowned slightly. He put away his thoughts about Rosalie and changed his shoes before striding upstairs toward the little girl. "Why aren’t yo
Standing at the door of the little girl's bedroom, Byron’s face furrowed slightly.No matter what his relationship with the woman was now, he already made such a promise to the little girl so he must hurry up and get the woman to come back to him!The next morning, Byron sent Estie to kindergarten early and happened to bump into Lisa who had come to drop the boys off.“Estie!" The two boys greeted Estie from a distance.The little girl responded with a smile. She shook off Byron’s hand and walked toward the two boys.Byron did not stop her. He just said to her in a deep voice, "Slow down."The little girl nodded obediently.The two boys seemed to have just noticed him and when they heard his voice, they looked up at him hesitantly.Meeting the children’s gaze, Byron’s brows twitched imperceptibly and the emotions in the eyes were very complicated.These two boys had always stood together with Rosalie.He wondered if the boys had found out that the women had gotten so mad yest
Seeing the children enter the kindergarten, Byron then turned around and left. He went to the flower shop yesterday."President Lawrence..."After what happened yesterday, the clerk already knew his identity, and when he saw him appear, he couldn't help but call out.Byron frowned slightly. Thinking about the bouquet that had been returned yesterday, he more or less figured out how this person found out about his identity, and he nodded to the florist slightly.Seeing his response, the florist was very nervous. "Do you need anything else? What did you think of the flowers yesterday?"The moment she said that, she recalled how the flowers yesterday had been returned.Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, the florist closed their mouth awkwardly and was filled with anxiety. she even wondered if Byron had come to get payback from them. At the mention of the flowers from yesterday, Byron also froze for a moment and his eyes swept across the florist lightly.The florist bowe
Luther was startled and after being stunned for a few seconds, he reluctantly found an excuse for himself, "I was wondering if the flowers should be dealt with. If you leave them like this, they will dry out soon."Hearing this, Byron frowned and looked at the bouquet on the sofa, his brows furrowing slightly.After a few seconds, he responded in a deep voice, "You can figure it out."Luther secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly complied, "Then, I'll bring a vase in and put them in later."Byron nodded noncommittally before motioning him to continue talking about work.Luther took the hint and this time, finally focused.After reporting the itinerary, Luther carefully glanced at his master and asked, "Sir, shall I go out and get a vase?"Byron had already started handling official business and did not respond.In view of their cooperation over so many years, Luther could somewhat understand the way his master thought. If he did not speak, it meant an acquiesce.So, Lu
Meanwhile, Lisa entered the living room after returning the flowers. She saw Rosalie sitting on the sofa, going through the documents. She hesitated to say what was on her mind.“Have you returned the flowers?” Rosalie heard noises from the door and turned around.Lisa nodded. “I’ve given them to the staff from the flower shop to return them.”Rosalie did not ask more after getting the answer she needed. She continued reading the documents.Yves had been handling all the matters in the research institute when Rosalie was away. However, Rosalie’s participation was needed to cooperate with the Lancer family.Rosalie also placed great importance on that matter. She had been busy reading documents even while recuperating at home.Fortunately, Xander knew about her injury. Hence, he kept the progress slow to wait for her to recover.Rosalie felt bad and decided to do some research to get a clear picture of the project so that she could get started soon after returning to work.While
In the following days, it was Lisa who sent the little boys home. She would see the same runner delivering flowers every day.Even though Roselie had informed her to return the flowers, she would still bring them to Rosalie so that she could have a look first.In Lisa’s eyes, the flowers were Byron's token of affection. Thus, although Rosalie was reluctant to accept them, she should be aware of their existence.After going through this a few times, the runner concluded that it would be better to wait at the doorstep so that there was no need for Lisa to drop by the flower shop to return the flowers later.Since it was the weekend, Rosalie assumed that Bryon would stop sending flowers. However, to her surprise, the doorbell rang early in the morning.Rosalie did not work during the weekends, so there were only the three of them at home at the moment. No one was there to open the door.Prying open her drowsy eyes, Rosalie heard the non-stop ringing and had mixed feelings about it.
Noticing the little ones' doubt, Rosalie became slightly anxious. Nevertheless, she maintained her composure as she held their hands and brought them over to the couch.After resting at home for a week, Rosalie’s leg wound had mostly recovered, so she could walk on her own now.It was just that Lisa and the boys were still worried and insisted that she rested for a couple more days."Mommy, why didn’t you accept the flowers?" The little ones sat with Rosalie on the couch and could not help but ask.Rosalie did not expect they would ask this and was too stunned to answer.The boys saw her strange response and pressed on, asking, "The man didn’t say anything just now. What if he sent the flowers to the wrong place?"Lucian took a glance at his mommy and got off the couch. "I’ll go take a look. What if he really got the address wrong?” As he finished speaking, he walked toward the door.Rosalie’s brows furrowed. "Lucian, come back."The kid seemed to not have heard her and conti
After breakfast, Rosalie spent some time with the little boys for a while before she entered the study.Rosalie was worried the whole time when she was playing with the boys just now, afraid that the florist would send flowers again tomorrow. By then, she might not be able to explain herself.Thinking so, Rosalie called Byron again.Meanwhile, at Lawrence Corporation.Byron was still working overtime in the company. After a week, Byron's office was filled with flower bouquets, which looked out of tune with the office decor.As the number of bouquets increased, the tension in the office atmosphere also increased.When Luther entered the door holding the returned bouquet, the flowers were immediately inserted into a vase."Master, they were returned again." Aware of tension in the office, Luther's heart was tense as he held his breath.Byron coldly glanced over, his eyes darkening.Luther placed the flowers down silently, then backed out cautiously, for fear that any movement wo
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
