Rosalie turned around and saw the man pick up the jug of water again. He filled two glasses of water, then put them in front of Lucian and Nox.She was confused by the man’s actions, wondering if this was the boys’ request or if Byron did this to ease the embarrassment just now.Just when her mind was in chaos, a glass of water was suddenly pushed in front of her.Rosalie suddenly came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at the person beside her.Byron just smiled at her inexplicably, adjusted the glass for her, then withdrew his hand and turned to look at the stage.Rosalie looked at the glass in front of her with complicated eyes. After a while, she came back to her senses and thanked the man softly. She felt a little apologetic in her heart for possibly misunderstanding him just now. In order to show that she had no grudge against him, Rosalie took a sip from the glass.The kids in the back saw their interaction and felt that Rosalie seemed to have let down her gu
Rosalie came back to her senses and followed their little footsteps to the fountain.There were already many adults and children playing around. They were surrounded by the laughter of the little ones.Seeing the scene in front of her, Rosalie's face unconsciously broke into a smile as warmth enveloped her.However, when her eyes shifted to Byron who stood on the side, the man seemed out of place.The three little kids were running around inside, but Byron just stood on the side expressionlessly. He just let the kids run around him with no reaction at all like a wooden pole.Seeing this, Rosalie shook her head amusingly. She took the initiative to walk up to the kids and joined in their fun.With her joining in, Byron's surroundings became a lot quieter in an instant.As Byron watched the three little ones playing with Rosalie, his eyes softened as the corners of his lips showed a slight smile."Mommy!""Auntie!" The kids stopped suddenly and stared blankly in Rosalie's dire
"Thank you."Finally, Byron stopped and loosened the hand on her shoulder. Rosalie immediately got out of his arms and stood aside with her arms folded.As she impatiently tried to escape from him, Byron’s eyes darkened.For a while, the atmosphere between the two stiffened.Rosalie did not expect to be alone with Byron, so she was a little flustered. She could only look at the little ones from a distance to divert her attention."It must be a little difficult for you to be here at the concert today, right?"Byron spoke.Hearing this, Rosalie was startled, then subconsciously turned her head to look at the person beside her. Their eyes met.The man frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was a little awkward as if he had thought about it for a long time before saying it.Seeing him like this, Rosalie unconsciously felt apologetic.‘Was I behaving like I was forced?’Rosalie carefully recalled the interaction between them that day and finally had to admit that she se
Rosalie recovered after realization, raised her eyes, and glanced at the man beside her. She felt self-conscious for no reason. "Thank you..."Byron frowned and did not respond, but the hand holding her wrist did not let go.Rosalie struggled lightly twice but did not break away. They attracted the attention of many people around.Under the colorful lights, they saw these two outstandingly attractive people who were impeccably dressed. The man's suit jacket was placed over the woman's long white gown, and he was grabbing the woman's wrist assertively. The two of them looked like a prince and princess fleeing. They looked perfectly matched."Mister."Rosalie wanted to say something so that Byron would let go. Suddenly, a child-like voice spoke.The next second, the man in front stopped. Rosalie also stood still and glanced in the direction of the voice.All they saw was a plainly dressed little girl standing in front of them, holding a large bouquet of flowers. She looked up at t
Rosalie took an instinctive look at the man walking in front of her and then lowered her gaze back to the flowers in her arms as she wondered if she should return them. However, before she managed to speak up, the three little ones ran up to them and were visibly excited when they saw the flowers in her arms. “Where did you get these flowers, Mommy? They’re so beautiful and suit you perfectly!” Nox said sweetly. He knew perfectly well who had given the flowers. Rosalie felt slightly bashful when she heard the little guy’s question and bent forward so she could hand the flowers to Estie. However, when she began moving, she realized that the man was still gripping her wrist. The little ones had obviously noticed that too. Upon realizing that, Rosalie could not stop herself from blushing, but she forced herself to smile calmly in front of the little ones. Then, she shook her wrist soundlessly in an attempt to escape the man’s grasp. She did not expect him to tighten his grip.
Rosalie had no idea Andrea had seen everything she did today.After they got into the car, Rosalie and the little ones sat in their original places. Rosalie held the flowers Byron gave her as she got into the passenger’s seat. Then, a funny feeling washed over her. Compared to the roses Byron had previously delivered to her daily, these flowers were less cared for and were of much more common varieties too. However, Rosalie was much more touched by this bouquet than she had been by the previous ones. The little ones, who were seated in the backseat, were tired out from playing. Only a few sentences were exchanged before they fell silent. Byron glanced at them through the rearview mirror and saw that the little ones had fallen asleep on top of each other despite being seated in their respective car seats. The woman next to him seemed dazed too. He had no idea what was going through her mind as he watched her lean back against the seat and stare out the window. Upon noticing t
When Byron heard her, he frowned and gazed solemnly at the woman with an inquisitive look in his eyes. If he had heard her correctly, the fact the woman was asking such questions meant she was warming up to him. Rosalie’s gaze wavered when the man met her eyes, and she pretended to remain calm as she moved her gaze elsewhere. A brief moment later, Byron’s deep voice rang out. “I’ve never liked her, nor will I ever marry her. So, there’s nothing to explain.”A surprised look briefly appeared in Rosalie’s eyes when she heard that. If this had taken place six years ago, she would never have expected Byron to say such things. He had never liked Wendy? How was that possible… She remembered clearly how Byron had said over and over again that Wendy was the only person he would marry six years ago. He had even gone so far as to give her the silent treatment so she would leave.Since he was saying such things now, what meaning did the things he said six years ago hold? Byron’s g
“Young Master Xander and I…” Rosalie felt a headache creeping upon her as she began speaking. She was just about to explain when there was a sudden movement in the backseat. It sounded like the little ones were waking up. When Rosalie heard the movement in the backseat, she immediately fell silent and turned to look at the little ones. Nox had woken up without them realizing it, and he was rubbing his eyes sleepily.“Mommy…” A while later, the little guy lowered his hands slowly and gazed at his mom with narrowed eyes. He was still dazy from sleep. Rosalie glanced at the man beside her and forced herself to suppress the emotions she felt as she smiled at the little guy. “Have we arrived home?” The little guy said as he sat up to look out the window. When he saw the familiar-looking mansion, he turned and asked his mom confusedly, “Why didn’t you wake us up?” When Rosalie heard the little guy’s question, she recalled the conversation she had just had with Byron and could no
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
