On the other hand, Byron wanted to pick up Estie after work but received a call from Andrius asking him to have dinner.Byron wanted to refuse, but then he reconsidered. These two days, the topics they talked about were basically related to Rosalie.Maybe tonight would be no exception.Thinking of this, he agreed in a deep voice.Byron hung up the phone and ordered Luther to pick up and send the little one home, while he drove to the appointment.When he got there, Andrius was already waiting in his seat.Andrius waved to his buddy when he arrived, indicating where he was sitting.Byron strode over."How did it go? I hope you didn’t quarrel with Dr. Jacobs at noon today."Andrius' concerned voice sounded as soon as he sat down.Hearing this, Byron could not help but think of the woman's repeated refusals during lunch. His face sank slightly.Seeing his expression, Andrius was taken aback. "Not very good?" Byron frowned, "The process wasn’t very pleasant, but I'm not sure a
Andrius gave Byron a few more ideas. Seeing that it was almost time, the two called it a day.Coming out of the restaurant, Byron looked at the two concert tickets in his hand, and his eyes darkened.Although he felt that Rosalie's heart was shaken, he was also aware that she was unwilling to accept the flowers at noon today.If he rashly offered to go to the concert together, the woman would definitely refuse.Unless… Estie suggested it.That woman had never refused the little one.Thinking of this, Byron’s eyes squinted slightly as he sped up the car to return to Lawrence Manor.When he got home, the little one had just finished eating and was sprawled on the table drawing while Mrs. Zora stayed by the side."Master." Seeing him coming back, Mrs. Zora respectfully said hello and gave up the seat next to the little one.Estie just looked up at the door and called out in her childish voice, "Daddy."Then, she lowered her head and continued to draw.Since Rosalie was injured,
When the little one spoke of Wendy, Byron’s eyes darkened.No wonder Rosalie still refused to accept him. Even the little one knew that the entanglement between him and Wendy had not been resolved. Rosalie would be the last person to forget this.In any case, he must speed up and resolve his mother's obsession with Wendy.Thinking of this, Byron put away his thoughts and asked the little one in a serious tone, "Do you like Auntie Wendy?" The little one shook her head vigorously as flashbacks ran through her mind.‘I don’t like that mean lady! That mean lady only treats me well in front of Daddy! She would pinch my arm behind Daddy’s back and spank my buttocks!’Byron nodded knowingly. He promised the little girl. "I won't marry someone you don't like."The little girl's eyes lit up again."However, if you want Auntie Rosalie to be your Mommy, I'm afraid you have to help me." Byron looked at her meaningfully.Hearing this, the little one was puzzled again and tilted her head i
Early the next morning, Rosalie freshened up and came out of the bedroom when she saw two little boys waiting at her bedroom door."Mommy!" The little boys’ eyes were bright as they were looking forward to Mommy sending them to school.Thinking of their words last night, Rosalie felt her heart soften. She lowered her eyes and touched their heads. "Let’s go down for breakfast. I’ll send you to school later."The boys nodded vigorously.At breakfast, they were also very well-behaved.After breakfast, Rosalie changed clothes and sent the little ones to kindergarten early.The gate of the kindergarten was full of children and parents.Rosalie looked around, and indeed many of them were picked up and dropped off by their parents.‘A while ago, because of my own issues with Byron, I made the boys go home with Nanny Lisa. They must have felt very sad in those few days.’Thinking of this, Rosalie's eyes were remorseful."Miss Jacobs! Long time no see. I heard from Lucian and Nox that
Byron walked toward them, watching them silently.Seeing him coming, the two little boys looked at each other and said hello hesitantly, "Hello, Uncle Byron."Byron raised his brows slightly and reached out to touch the boys’ heads.‘I want to ignore this man’s existence, but the boys have already greeted him. If I pretend to not see him, that would be a little rude in front of Miss Leigh Ann.’Thinking of this, Rosalie looked up eventually and greeted him in a low tone. "Hello, President Lawrence."Byron turned his head to meet her gaze. "You just recovered from your injury. I didn't expect that you would send Lucian and Nox to school."He thought that after what happened yesterday, this woman would hide from him for a few more days.Therefore, he asked Estie to hand over the tickets to the two boys and let them pass them on.He did not expect to meet her again so soon.Rosalie also heard what he meant. A strange look crossed her face as she forced a calm smile."Auntie!" Es
Hearing that Rosalie had agreed, Estie raised her hand and wiped away her tears. Then, she lifted her head and smiled at Rosalie.Rosalie did not expect the little one to cry. She apologetically crouched over and touched the little girl's tear-stained cheek. "I'm sorry, I made you sad."The little one shook her head earnestly and ran back to Byron. She took out the tickets from her school bag and handed them to Rosalie.Rosalie took them while looking conflicted. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by the little girl's voice."Goodbye, Auntie! See you at the concert!" The little girl was afraid that Rosalie would go back on her promise, so she quickly stuffed the tickets to her, carried her school bag, and went into the kindergarten. She waved at Rosalie.Seeing this, Rosalie had no choice but to swallow the words in her mouth. She got up and nodded at the little one.The three little kids entered the kindergarten hand in hand.Only Rosalie and Byron were left standi
Rosalie stood at the entrance of the kindergarten for quite a while. She barely recovered as she put away the tickets in her hand. She got in the car and returned to the research institute.As soon as she entered the office, Xander called."The time is set for tonight. Will you be free on your end?"Rosalie was still a little confused. When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she remembered what Xander said when he came to visit yesterday.Tonight. That must be the time to meet the doctors who would be collaborating with them.On the other end, Xander had no answer from Rosalie, so he urged in a puzzled voice. "Miss Jacobs? Everything okay? Is it because the time isn’t right for you?"Rosalie snapped back to her senses. "Oh no, it’s nothing. Yes, I’m free tonight, I'll be there on time."Xander felt that her reaction seemed a little strange, but he could not say anything over the phone, so he simply gave some reminders before hanging up.Rosalie was a little abs
Not many doctors attended this banquet, but there were still a dozen or so.Rosalie took a glance and recognized a few acquaintances who had also participated in the free clinic previously.As for the rest, she had never met them before.However, this must be an esteemed crowd because to be recognized by and cooperate with the Lancer family must not be easy.Thinking of this, Rosalie smiled politely at everyone, expressing her gratitude."Young Master Xander, who are these two?"Suddenly, someone stood up and asked Xander. "They’re also the doctors who want to cooperate with us this time?"Their words were full of doubts about them.Rosalie had long been accustomed to such doubts, but when she heard this, the smile on her face stiffened for a moment.This was Xander's territory, after all. She was afraid that her qualifications would create some unnecessary trouble for him.‘If someone distrusts the Lancer family because of me, it’ll be my fault.’Thinking of this, the expre
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
