Halfway through the meal, Xander went out to answer the phone.After he came back, he looked at Rosalie apologetically. "Sorry, Grandpa told me to go back. I don't know what's going on."Hearing this, Rosalie smiled coolly. "Since Grandpa Lancer is looking for you, then you’d better go quickly. I’ll go back by myself in a while."Xander apologized again, then got up and left.Rosalie ate for a while and glanced at the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. She was still worried thinking of the three little ones at home, so she did not stay any longer and got up to get the bill."The gentleman had already settled the bill just now," the cashier said with a smile.Hearing this, Rosalie could not help but be taken aback.They clearly agreed that this meal was to express her gratitude to Xander.That man actually paid the bill himself..."By the way, this was given to you by that gentleman. You’re so lucky." The cashier took out a bunch of flowers from behind and looke
Rosalie: [Thank you, but that's what I should do. We’ll have to work together a lot in the future, Young Master Xander. You can't be so polite to me every time.]Rosalie came back to her senses and replied. Xander smiled noncommittally. Xander: [Indeed, this is a one-time deal.]As soon as he replied, there was movement upstairs.Xander put away his mobile phone and looked up, only to see Old Master Lancer supported by a middle-aged man as he walked downstairs. The two of them were talking as they walked."Grandpa, Uncle Hector." Xander frowned when he saw that man but still respectfully greeted him like someone with a good upbringing.The man was Stacy's father, Hector Hudson.‘This man came to the Lancer family’s home, and Grandpa asked me to come home so urgently. I can easily guess the purpose of this meeting.‘It’s nothing more than them being a lobbyist for the farce that Stacy made before.’Xander felt annoyed and bored as he thought of the chaos that night.Hearing
"I remember I should have Dr. Jacobs’ contact information. If you won't do it, I can do it all the same,” Old Master Lancer said slowly.Hearing this, Xander's face was full of helplessness.The old man's words were clearly a threat.Rather than letting Rosalie and Stacy meet without his knowledge, it was better for him to be present, lest Stacy did anything outrageous.Thinking of this, Xander eventually agreed. "Alright then. I’ll try to contact Miss Jacobs, but I don't know if she’ll agree to it."Uncle Hector's face was full of smiles. "Then I'll need to trouble you. Once the young lady replies, please let me know."Xander agreed coldly.Uncle Hector chatted with the old man for a while, exchanged a few words of concern about the recent situation of the Lancer family, then got up and said goodbye.After coming out of the Lancer family’s house, the smile on Hector's face gradually faded away, replaced by melancholy.That night, Stacy was so drunk that she was sent back home
"Hello, Uncle Byron," Lucian and Nox greeted him after realizing it was him.Byron nodded slightly, then frowned and asked, "Your mommy hasn't come back yet?" The little boys nodded obediently and looked at each other cautiously with some guilty conscience in their eyes.Just now, they thought it was Mommy who came back. They almost called out for Mommy when they opened the door.Fortunately, Little Estie spoke first, so they did not embarrass themselves.Hearing this, the folds between Byron's brows deepened. "Then what did you eat for lunch?"As he spoke, Byron glanced at the room. When he saw the family bucket on the table, his expression abruptly sank."We had chicken drumsticks! They were delicious!" Estie quipped, engrossed in the excitement of having fast food for the first time. She was oblivious to her Daddy’s horrified expression.Byron heard his own daughter, and his deep eyes darkened as he looked down at the three little ones again.He saw the three little faces
Just when the little ones tried to bargain with Byron, there were sounds of footsteps at the door.Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at the door.They saw Rosalie standing at the door holding a bunch of flowers. The expression on her face seemed a little confused."Mommy!" Lucian and Nox greeted her excitedly when they saw their mommy had come back.Rosalie frowned at the man standing in the living room.‘Byron... How could he be here…’Rosalie subconsciously glanced at the flowers in her arms, feeling a little guilty for some reason.Byron also noticed the flowers she was holding in her arms. The numbness after being badgered repeatedly by the kids just now slowly faded away.The flowers he sent before… This woman had returned them all.At this moment, the bouquet of flowers in her arms was obviously given by someone else. It was very likely by either Leon or Xander, and she brought it home calmly.‘What the hell does this woman take me for?!’"Mommy?"Nox did no
Rosalie's expression froze as he repeatedly mentioned the word ‘date.’"Since you didn’t have time, you should’ve told me earlier and let me pick Estie up,” Byron said sharply.Hearing her daddy's tone, Estie knew that her daddy was angry, and she could not help but feel anxious. "Daddy!"Byron’s eyes darkened, and he looked down at the little girl beside him, realizing that his tone seemed a little cold.It was true that he was furious when he saw the flowers in the woman's arms.However, in the eyes of the woman, he probably had no reason to be angry."Estie, I'm sorry. I didn't come back to accompany you earlier." Rosalie chose to ignore the man in the living room and looked down at Estie, her face full of apology.Hearing Auntie apologize to her, the little girl shook her head quickly. "It's good that you’re back now, and besides, fried chicken drumsticks are delicious! Estie loves them!"After that, the little girl raised her eyes in protest and glanced at her daddy.‘It’
"Excuse me, President Lawrence."Rosalie tidied up the coffee table. When she got up to throw the garbage, Byron stood at the door and blocked her way.Hearing her voice, Byron deeply frowned and turned sideways to make way for her.Looking at the woman’s back, he could not stop glancing at the bunch of flowers that she had temporarily placed on the sofa with anger in his eyes."Didn't you say you’ll treat me the same as them?"Rosalie heard the man's question when she returned after throwing out the trash.Hearing this, Rosalie's footsteps stopped abruptly. She raised her eyes in confusion to meet his gaze.Byron frowned. "Why did you return all the flowers I sent before, but you brought these ones home?"Before Rosalie could react, the man continued, "So, who sent these flowers? Leon? Or Xander?”"It’s..." Rosalie instinctively wanted to answer, but in the next second, she noticed the man's bad attitude. Her voice stopped abruptly.Byron thought she was going to give an ans
From downstairs, Byron also noticed the little ones who were coming down.The three little ones were about to speak when they saw Byron suddenly look up at Estie. He said expressionlessly, "Estie, come down. It's time for us to go home."Hearing this, all three kids were startled.Estie widened her eyes blankly. "Daddy..."‘I had a deal with Auntie that I would stay to eat her homemade meal. What does Daddy mean?‘Even if Daddy really got into an argument with Auntie, he shouldn’t take me away.‘After all, Daddy himself said that he wants my help to pursue Auntie.‘If I go home, how will Auntie be relieved?’Byron was unmoved. "Auntie has other things to do, and we don't know if there’ll be other guests at night. Let’s not disturb Auntie."With that, Byron went to the stairs and stretched out his hand toward Estie.The little girl pouted, shrank behind the two brothers, and refused. "No, Estie wants to have dinner with Auntie!"Lucian and Nox also quickly shielded Estie behi
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
