Byron finished his work late at night and came out of the study.The lights on the first floor had been turned off, and only the lights in the corridor on the second floor were still on.When passing by Estie's room, Byron vaguely heard what seemed to be movement inside. His heart sank.He was reminded of the little girl's aversion toward Wendy. Byron was deeply worried that this little one was crying secretly because he still had not sent Wendy away.Thinking of this, Byron gently opened the little girl's bedroom door, walked over to her bed, and checked on her.As he walked along the lights in the corridor, he saw that the little girl must have fallen asleep but not very peacefully at all. The little girl tossed and turned in bed, her little hands scratching her body. Her pajamas lifted up from all the scratching.Byron’s eyebrows twitched sharply at this sight.He thought his little girl was having a nightmare, but her actions seemed strange.The scratching never stopped.B
Rosalie had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly woken up by her cell phone ringtone. She fumbled across her bedside table and picked up her cell phone. "Who is this?"Byron frowned as he answered. "It's me."Hearing his voice, Rosalie's heart jolted, and her mind became clearer. "What's wrong?"Byron looked at Estie in his arms. The little one was still sobbing sadly while trying to look down at herself.Byron hugged her tightly again and told Rosalie about the situation. "Estie suddenly has a lot of red spots on her body, and they’re very itchy. I just woke her up. Is it convenient for you now? I'll bring her over to show you."When Rosalie heard that Estie was uncomfortable, she woke up completely, got out of bed, and responded while putting on clothes. "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."Byron nodded and hung up. He touched the little girl's head to comfort her. "Darling, you’ll be okay once Auntie takes a look at it later."Although the little girl was uncomfortable, she
At the same time, although the light in Wendy's room had been turned off, she had not slept.It was not until Byron got into the car with Estie in his arms and the car slowly drove away from Lawrence Manor that she tiptoed around, picked up a few things in her room, opened the door, and went into Estie's bedroom.Byron had left in a hurry, so the door to the little girl's room was left ajar, which made it easy for Wendy's next steps.Once Wendy entered the bedroom, she replaced a few things in the little girl's bathroom using the light of her mobile phone screen. Then, she checked everything carefully to make sure that nothing was out of the ordinary before tiptoeing away.Back in the room, Wendy felt delighted at the thought of Estie's suffering.‘That little b*tch! Let’s see if she dares to ever go against me again!’...On the way to Rosalie's house, the little girl was still itching so badly that she could not help scratching from time to time.Byron saw the little girl's m
The little girl’s eyes flickered after she heard what her daddy said and retracted her hand.She was so uncomfortable, and she did not want Auntie to suffer too.Rosalie could not help but be stunned for a few seconds, not expecting that Byron was simply concerned about her.‘I was overthinking…’She pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at the little girl soothingly, "It's okay. Come on, let me carry you." After saying that, she stretched out her hands to the little girl, wanting to carry the little girl into the villa.She could see that the little girl was very scared now and wanted her to hug her.However, her outstretched hands were once again empty.The little girl twisted her waist in her Daddy's arms, avoided Rosalie's outstretched hand, and shook her head at Rosalie. "Daddy will carry me in."Rosalie knew that the little girl was afraid of infecting her, and her heart softened by that gesture. In the end, she compromised and followed the father and daughter into the
Rosalie frowned at the sight of Byron’s condition.The little girl only heard that her condition was contagious. She did not see the red spots on Byron's body. She shrank to the side, aggrieved. She refused to let the two adults touch her again.Rosalie came back to her senses, looked down at the little girl who was curled up into a ball, and felt a sting in her heart. "Come here, Estie darling. Let me have a look." The little girl shook her head and responded timidly, "No, it’ll spread to Auntie."Hearing this, Rosalie's eyes stung. She smiled at the little girl. "I’m not afraid. I’ve treated similar patients before and gotten this disease before, so I won’t be infected.”Even Byron was stunned for a moment, thinking that what she said was true.Estie stared at Rosalie suspiciously for a long time. When she saw that Auntie did not seem to be lying and she could not stand it anymore, she slowly moved nearer to Rosalie and stretched out her hand.Rosalie touched the little girl'
Lucian’s arm soon began itching too. The two little guys had no idea what was happening to them and stared at their mom in bewilderment. A guilty look flashed in Rosalie’s eyes when she noticed that the two little guys had gotten infected too. If she had closed the door properly just now, she would have noticed in time that the little ones were entering. Then, she could have stopped them from coming nearer in time and they would not have gotten infected… “Mommy, I feel horrible,” Nox said as he frowned and reached his hand out to scratch at his itch. Rosalie hurriedly said, “Don’t touch it.” She had just finished speaking when Byron reached over and grabbed the two little guys’ hands so they could not scratch themselves.He had been cautious of the fact that he was already infected just now, which was why he did not stop the little guys just now. He did not dare touch them. Now, there was no need to be cautious of that fact anymore since the little guys had also gotten i
“What’s wrong, Dr. Jacobs?” Yves had only fallen asleep when Rosalie’s call woke him up again. He answered the phone the minute he saw who was calling. Rosalie heaved a secret sigh of relief when she heard his voice. She did not even have the time to spare for small talk and cut straight to the chase. “Are you okay with heading to the research institute now?” Upon hearing that, Yves said up in bed and asked, “Is it for an important reason?” As he spoke, Yves did not even bother waiting for Rosalie to respond as he began changing. There had to be an important reason if she was calling him at this hour. However, he wanted to know the specifics of what had happened. Rosalie glanced at the three little ones inside the room and said somberly, “The children with me now are showing signs of allergic reactions caused by bacteria. The spray we created might help, but I can’t leave the kids now. I was wondering if you could help me out here.” Then, she added, “It’s alright if it’s
Rosalie’s phone rang an hour later. Yves had arrived. Rosalie headed downstairs so she could open the door. Byron and the little guys had been beside her, and they all heard a man’s voice on the other end of the line. Before Byron even said anything, the little guys took the initiative and urged him to go downstairs to take a look. Upon seeing how the little guys seemed to be in an even greater panic than he was, Byron nodded slowly and strode downstairs. “Thank you,” Rosalie said as she stood in the garden and took the spray from Yves. The disease was transmittable, and Rosalie was doing her best to maintain her distance from him. However, Yves had brought over quite a few sprays, and Rosalie was finding it difficult to hold them all.“I’ll help you bring them inside,” Yves suggested gently when he noticed her struggling. Rosalie turned his offer down without hesitation. “I’m sure you know too how highly transmittable this bacteria is. I already feel super guilty for aski
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
