Byron looked at the crooked lipstick line on the woman's mouth. He found it humorous.It seemed that this woman was still dazed when she put on makeup, and she did not even know that her lipstick was crooked.When he met her gaze, the expression on the woman's face was full of confusion. He just wanted to tease her.Thinking of this, Byron acted.Rosalie saw the man suddenly raising his hand and reaching toward her face.Seeing that his hand was about to touch her face, Rosalie snapped back to her senses, took a step back in a panic, and avoided the range that Byron could reach.Byron's outstretched hand came empty, and he raised his eyebrows with dissatisfaction."Is there anything else, President Lawrence?" Rosalie looked at him distantly.Seeing the flustered appearance of the woman, Byron’s eyes flashed with a hint of victory. He explained indifferently, "Your lipstick is crooked."Hearing this, Rosalie's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head consciously to av
On the other hand, after Byron left Rosalie's home, he went back to the company and arrived on time for the scheduled meeting.After the meeting, Byron came out of the conference room when he saw Luther approach him from a distance. His face was flustered. "Master."Byron frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"Luther's face was troubled. "There’s something wrong with the project we’re cooperating with Quirke Enterprise on."Hearing this, his expression darkened, and he strode back to the office.Luther silently followed behind his boss into the office, then turned around and closed the door."What's wrong?" Byron asked in a deep voice.Before that, their cooperation with Quirke Enterprise had been smooth.Luther explained, "The pharmaceutical company in the northwest suddenly withdrew from this cooperation and doesn’t intend to accept our acquisition conditions."Hearing this, Byron’s eyebrows suddenly twitched.The acquisition of that pharmaceutical company was an extremely impor
Meanwhile, Rosalie was at home with three little kids.Since she entered the door, Estie had been in a low mood. No matter how Rosalie and the two boys tried to talk to her, the little girl was gloomy."Estie, why are you so unhappy? Can you tell me?" Rosalie got the kids to stop their game and took Estie to sit down on the carpet.Lucian and Nox also followed behind them worriedly.Hearing their mother ask, the boys stared at Little Estie eagerly, waiting for her answer.Little Estie pursed her lips as she thought of Wendy at home, then looked at Beautiful Auntie in front of her.‘If Beautiful Auntie knows that Mean Auntie is now staying in our house, Beautiful Auntie will definitely be unhappy.‘Daddy is still pursuing Auntie. It would be bad if Auntie misunderstood…’Thinking of this, the little girl's eyes were full of hesitation.Rosalie noticed that the little girl seemed to have some concerns and frowned worriedly. "No matter what, you can tell me. I’ll definitely stand
"Then what’s going on?" Nox could not help but ask.Estie just stared at Rosalie eagerly, wanting to get her affirmation.Rosalie's eyes softened at the little girl’s gaze, and she nodded helplessly. "Okay, I won’t be angry at Daddy."Hearing what she said, the little girl blurted out in her innocent voice, "Mean Auntie is staying in my house." Lucian and Nox were stunned for a moment. They then immediately realized who the Mean Auntie she was talking about.Rosalie looked blank, not knowing who the little one was referring to."It's Wendy Fuller!" Nox was so angry when he thought of that bad woman bullying Mommy. He could not understand how Daddy would let that bad woman stay at his home!Hearing this, Rosalie frowned slightly.Although she had promised the little one that she would not be angry, she still felt a strange feeling in her heart.She did not know what Byron was thinking. On one end, he kept talking about pursuing her and how he would give her a proper explanatio
In the evening, after Byron finished work, he rushed to Rosalie's house to pick up Estie.On the way there, Luther's words this morning echoed repeatedly in his mind.If it were not for Luther's reminder, he almost forgot that the woman had not officially responded to him about her relationship with Xander!Until the car slowly stopped at Rosalie’s front gate, the displeasure in Byron's heart had not subsided.After Rosalie opened the door, what she saw was a cold expression on the man.Seeing the man's expression, Rosalie could not help but be taken aback.Before she could get angry with this man about Estie’s situation, he pulled a long face first."What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the company?" Rosalie asked patiently.The man just glanced at the room blankly and asked moodily, "Where’s Estie? I'm taking her back."Rosalie frowned slightly as she sensed Byron's irritable mood.The three little ones heard movement at the door and trotted over."Estie, it's time
Rosalie thought carefully about what she wanted to add. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, the man coldly interjected."Don’t worry, Miss Jacobs. This matter has nothing to do with you. I’ll handle it myself."Rosalie was stunned for a moment at his cold tone. She looked up at the person in front of her in confusion. "I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried about Estie's condition. As for whatever treatment you give others, it has nothing to do with me."She thought Byron was just annoyed by her random interference in his affairs with Wendy.Thinking of the man's possible thoughts, Rosalie felt a burst of irony in her heart.Byron heard that she just wanted to distance himself from him, and his anger finally erupted. "Of course, my affairs have nothing to do with you, Miss Jacobs! You only care about Young Master Xander’s affairs now!"What do you mean?" The topic shifted from Wendy to herself, and Rosalie could not help but have a headache.She thought that the man shou
Meanwhile, in the living room. The three little kids did not see the two of them come in for some time, so they could not help but come out to see what was going on.As soon as they walked to the door, the kids felt the tension between the two adults."Mommy? Did you quarrel with Uncle Byron?" Nox carefully pulled on the hem of Mommy's clothes, his face full of concern. The little boy's voice brought Rosalie back to her senses. After adjusting her emotions with concerted efforts, she lowered her eyes to look at the little boy, pursed her lips, and smiled. "No, it’s just a little disagreement on some matters."After that, Rosalie raised her eyes and shot the man a look, hoping that he would not blow things up in front of the kids.Fortunately, Byron was also on the same page and somewhat concerned about the little ones.Seeing the little kids come out, the man's expression softened slightly. He looked down at his daughter. "Estie, it's getting late. Let’s go home."The little gi
"Mommy." Rosalie turned around to see Lucian grabbing the hem of her clothes.Rosalie lowered her eyes in confusion as her older son stopped her.Lucian glanced at his younger brother, his face full of seriousness. "Let's go and persuade Little Estie. She’s still angry, so she may not listen to Mommy."Hearing this, it hit Rosalie in hindsight. Come to think of it, she was part of the reason why the little girl got angry.Rosalie nodded and agreed. "I'll leave it to you, then." The boys nodded obediently, turned around, and ran to Estie. They looked mysteriously at the two adults. In the next second, the three little heads disappeared behind the sofa.Rosalie saw that the little kids were up to something, and there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes. However, she did not bother them and just stood helplessly while facing the man with harsh condemning eyes.‘What did I do wrong for him to look at me like that?’In the living room, the three little kids came together and whispe
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
