That night, the Quirkes made a statement, saying that Old Master Quirke's chronic illness had been cured by Rosalie's hands, and that Rosalie had been selected to participate in the Lancer family project through his introduction.The internet exploded the moment the statement was released.For a while, half of the public opinion that had been one-sided during the day turned to support Rosalie but some people still doubted her.Rosalie saw the news before she went to bed and was moved.She had also thought about going to Old Master Quirke to diffuse the situation but she did not want to drag him through the mud.Yet, she did not expect the Quirke’s to take the initiative to help her.Although there were still people questioning her on the internet, the situation was much better than it was during the day.Rosalie did not want to disturb the old man's rest, so she could only call Andrius.On the other end, Andrius had just assigned a task to his family's public relations team whe
Outside the door, Hector was furious and smacked the door hard multiple times.Stacy glanced at the door with an ugly expression before getting up to open the door.She saw her father’s angry face the moment she opened the door."What did you do!" Hector looked at his daughter angrily.Stacy was stunned for a moment.Although Hector had lost his temper at her before, this was the first time she saw her father get so angry.It sounded like it was because of that Jacobs woman again. Realizing this, Stacy still looked at her father bravely although she was frightened. "What did I do wrong? I just want everyone to take a good look at her!"Hector frowned sharply. "What did you say?"Stacy said stubbornly, "I really don't know what's so good about that woman that has everyone looking at her. Even the Quirkes came forward to speak out for her. I don't believe she actually cured Old Master Quirke!"Hector was confused at what she was saying and felt deep down that something was sli
The following day, Rosalie woke up from her sleep and immediately checked the public comment on the Internet.She saw herself on the top of the trending search list when she opened the page.Rosalie’s heart sank, thinking that public comments were accusations about her again. She frowned as she clicked open the topic.Unexpectedly, as soon as Rosalie clicked on it, she saw the most popular search on social media. It was a video of her teacher’s interview, among which there were many employees from Quentin’s overseas research institute, famous internationally.“I have heard about the Lancer family’s project. I, as a teacher, feel honored that Dr. R. Jacobs, my apprentice, can participate in this project. I’ve seen plenty of comments about her medical skills. I hope you believe in Rosalie. She will give you a surprise.”Quentin looked into the camera amiably in the video, yet he still had a solemn temperament.After Quentin’s interview, the researchers commented about Rosalie in th
Hearing her teacher’s words, Rosalie was touched again. “Okay. Thank you, professor.”Quentin was worried about those netizens slandering Rosalie. So, after expressing his displeasure, he calmed down and said, “Now everyone knows you are my student. Do your best, and don’t disgrace my name.”Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. “I will do my best.”Quentin nodded, feeling pleased with Rosalie’s answer. Then, he continued, “I believe in you. By the way, I know the boy named Xander. He is a nice guy….”“Professor!” Rosalie knew what her teacher was about to say and quickly interrupted him, “please excuse me because I have to prepare breakfast for Lucian and Nox.”Quentin stopped mentioning Xander when he heard those two kids’ names. “All right then. Please send my regards to the kids.”Rosalie agreed. Suddenly something struck her, and she said, “Please thank others on my behalf for helping me.”Quentin agreed to help Rosalie express her gratitude to his researchers.After that, t
Listening to the little boys’ words, the furrow on Byron’s eyebrows tightened. However, he hesitated when he wanted to say something about it.Under the eager looks of the little ones, Byron strolled to the table and sat down. He took one of the cups of milk the little ones had placed on the table.Estelle smiled and approached them. She took a mouthful of the milk. With the milk stain on her lips, she exclaimed, “You are so amazing!”Estelle had not prepared breakfast for herself all this while.As Rosalie looked at the astonished little girl, she handed the girl a tissue.Lucian and Nox were proud when Estella praised them.“If you don’t have time to cook breakfast, you can let me know. I can take the kids out for breakfast,” Byron said in his deep voice.Rosalie recalled that she had planned to call Byron when he mentioned that. She turned around and looked at Byron. “The matter has been settled. So, I think we don’t have to trouble you anymore.”They both knew what she mean
Wendy, who was in the hotel, knew about what had happened these two days.Although she did not know who was behind it, she was happy to see everyone on the internet scolding Rosalie and doubting her professionalism.After all, with the public comments and bad reputation, it would be difficult for Rosalie to clear her name.That way, Rosalie would have to leave the country even without her doing anything to Rosalie.Then, Byron would be hers!Therefore, Wendy had been paying attention to the news on the internet about Rosalie.She thought the public comments would only turn worse. Unexpectedly, there was a turn in the situation.Wendy had a sleepless night because of anger after looking at the statement from Quirke Enterprise. She had been tossing and turning on her bed as she pondered how to make the issue bigger.Unexpectedly, Stacy publicly apologized to Rosalie and admitted she had accused Rosalie because she was jealous.Wendy was also from one of those wealthy families in
After hanging up the call, what Byron had done for Rosalie filled Wendy’s mind.At the same time, she felt relieved that she had not done anything yet.If she had interfered and Byron found it out, she felt she might end up like Stacy.However, Wendy could not stand it when she thought of what Byron had done for that woman. If that continued, Wendy might someday lose her position as Byron’s fiancée.She had to do something!Wendy sat in her room all day, yet she could think of nothing.When the waitress brought her food at noon, Wendy got up to answer the door.Looking at the food brought in by the waitress, Wendy frowned. An idea popped into her mind.The waitress took the tray from the dining car and placed it on the table. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her.“It’s all right. I’ll serve myself,” Wendy’s voice sounded gentle.The waitress was startled and realized Wendy wanted her to leave the food on the truck. So, she subconsciously refused and said, “This is par
Wendy got annoyed as she did not get his response after a long time, but her tone was still soft. "I fell just now. That must have affected the injury from the last car accident. It really hurts..."Hearing this, Byron just replied coldly, "Since it's so serious, I'll have someone send you to the hospital. I have a meeting soon. I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else."Wendy gritted her teeth. "Alright then, you go ahead with your work." As soon as she finished speaking, the man hung up the call directly.Looking at the darkened mobile phone screen, Wendy's face was extremely ugly.The waiter trembled as he said cautiously, "Miss, let me accompany you to the hospital..."Before he could finish speaking, Wendy interrupted coldly, "Get lost!"The waiter looked up at a glance. The woman who spoke about how painful her arm was just now was now knocking over the food on the table with that exact arm.After a while, the floor was a complete mess.The waiter lamented, knowing that he
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
