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
Estie pouted as a sorrowful expression appeared on her face. “I can go with the boys, and I won’t need you to take care of me, Auntie.” Seeing how the little one was still insisting, Rosalie felt a headache begin to form as she said in a persuading tone, “Estie, why don’t you come some other day? I’ll promise I’ll spend time with you then. I really don’t have the time today.” The little one was just about to reply when Byron said coldly, “Estie, Auntie has already told you she doesn’t have time today, so stop bothering her.” Byron was not in the best mood since Rosalie had mentioned the Lancer family just now and thus sounded more solemn.Estie was frightened by her father’s tone, and her innocent eyes widened. She did not dare say anything else and merely stared at Rosalie with a pitiful look on her face.The cold breeze had woken up Lucian and Nox. They both felt frightened when they heard their dad speaking so solemnly. The two boys exchanged glances and thought to themsel
Rosalie came back to her senses at this. She accepted the flowers from the little girl's hand, her emotions complicated. Glancing at the man in front of her, she uttered softly, "Thank you."A sweet smile appeared on the little girl’s face when she saw her accept the flower.Byron showed no expression. He just urged Estie, saying, "Close the door, it's time for us to go."Hearing this, the little girl nodded obediently and reached out to close the door."President Lawrence, Estelle is still a child. You should soften your tone when you talk to her in the future." Rosalie could not help but remind him.She realized through her interactions with the father-daughter pair during this time that although Byron was meticulous when it came to the little girl, there were times when he spoke to the little girl in a harsh tone.Sometimes, her own children would be frightened, let alone Estelle who did not have a good mental state. She pointed it out with good intentions, but unexpectedly,
Fuller Household.When Wendy saw the photos Andrea had sent in the afternoon, she was so angry that she even skipped dinner. She locked herself in her room, stewing in her anger.Unexpectedly, she received several new photos from Andrea just when she was about to go to bed.In the photos, the man she could not see despite her best efforts was putting a coat on Rosalie, buying her flowers, and holding her by the wrist...No matter how one looked at the photos, both of them looked like an intimate couple!Wendy was instantly enraged when she saw these photos.Were they even respecting her, the fiancee, by behaving like this?!If this were to spread out, she would lose all dignity. She would not be able to become Mrs. Lawrence as she wished either!Thinking of this, Wendy's expression was grisly."B*tch! Why did you have to come back?!"Wendy got up from her bed abruptly and threw everything on the table to the ground!Downstairs, seeing that her daughter had not come downstair
Needless to say, Wendy thought so as well.Hearing what Magdalene said, Wendy frowned and asked in a muffled voice, "But, what else can I do now?"In the photo, Byron was already so close to the Jacobs woman!Magdalene pondered for a moment. "We have to settle the matter between you and Byron before the two of them reconcile completely!"Wendy's expression was becoming uglier and uglier. As if she did not already know what she had to do, she just did not know how to go about it. Magdalene might as well not have said anything.Magdalene was unaware of what she was thinking. She was still contemplating seriously, searching for a solution for her.After a while, she opened her mouth and said, "Regardless, you can't allow them to get in touch like this anymore! Instead, you have to stay by Byron’s side, so that he won't have the chance to meet that Jacobs woman."Hearing this, Wendy snorted. "I have thought of this too. However, Byron has been ignoring me completely during this time
That night, Melody was about to rest when she suddenly received a call from Magdalene.She heard Magdalene’s choked up voice and Henry's roar in the background the moment the call connected."Magdalene, what's the matter? Did you get into a fight with Henry?" Melody asked with concern.Magdalene glanced at both father and daughter who were acting to the side, took a deep breath, and pretended to be choked up. "Henry is mad at Wendy. Please come over, Wendy will not listen to anyone anymore, I think she’d only be able to take in your advice..."Hearing this, Melody frowned as she listened for a moment. She really did catch Wendy's sobbing in the background.Melody had already been very concerned about Wendy since the accident the last time. When she heard her crying, her heart immediately clenched. "Don't panic, just tell me what's going on properly. Why are you all arguing so badly?""Of course it’s because..." Magdalene paused midway and sighed heavily, "Anyway, come over and ta
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
