"Just what are you thinking?"Byron’s voice was a little hoarse.When he heard Rosalie come out of the room just now, he pretended to be asleep. In his hurry, he forgot that he had only covered himself halfway with the blanket. He did not actually expect the woman to come over and try to cover him up. He was still annoyed with this woman's relationship with other men just not long ago, but he felt his heart soften just now because of the tenderness the woman showed.Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she abruptly reacted and subconsciously lifted her hand to push back at him. However, she was hugged even tighter and was unable to struggle at all.Byron's voice continued in her ears. "When are you going to accept me?"Hearing these words, Rosalie was shocked and turned to look at the person close to her. Her brows were raised slightly and her tone lowered by a few notches, "Byron, you're not completely awake yet. Let me go!"The man sneered inexplicably. "You provoke
Hearing the man's words, Rosalie found it ironic. She raised her hand against his chest. "Thank you for your kindness, but I am afraid you won’t have this chance."After saying that, she exerted some strength through her hands and got up from his arms.To her surprise, the man actually loosened his arms according to her strength.Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to stand up straight, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled it hard in the direction of the sofa."Oh..." The man's unexpected action made Rosalie exclaim in a conditioned reflex.Her entire body fell into the man's lap in the next second. Byron’s hands were firmly on her waist, stabilizing her body.Rosalie glanced at the man around her in astonishment. Feeling slightly annoyed, she forced herself to speak calmly, "Thank you, President Lawrence, for helping me, but you can let go now."After she said that, she stretched her hand out for leverage to stand herself up.Unexpectedly, Byron h
Rosalie was taken aback and went still for a moment just as he said. She then reacted and struggled again.In the next second, she was pressed under the man's body."I already told you, yet you still moved." Byron leaned up to her, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "If you move again this time, I can’t guarantee what will happen."Looking at the man's face in front of her, Rosalie felt nervous for a moment and wanted to put up a fight but was worried about what Byron had just said.Just when she was at a loss, there were abrupt movements from the children’s rooms.Both of them inhaled.Hearing the children's footsteps getting closer to the door, Byron frowned sharply and let go of the woman in his arms before sitting back up expressionlessly.Rosalie was finally released from the man’s shackles, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the children’s room door opening.Thinking of the distance between Byron and herself now, Rosalie's heart constricted again. She
In the living room, Byron similarly stayed up the entire night. The next morning, the children saw Rosalie in their room the moment they woke up."Mommy!" Nox cried out in a childlike voice before saying happily, "I dreamt of you last night!"Hearing this, the expression on Rosalie's face stiffened for a moment.If she guessed correctly, this so-called dream the little boy was referring to was when he had come out of the room last night.If he found out that it was not a dream at all, who knew what the little boy would think...Just when Rosalie was worrying, the little boy's voice rang out again. "Hmm, it didn’t feel like a dream."The little boy looked up at Rosalie curiously after he said that. "Mommy, did I go out last night?"Rosalie could not help the hesitation she felt in her heart at what the boy said. Hearing his question, she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she figured that she would not be able to fool these two boys at all. Hence, she could only nod helpless
After inspecting them, Rosalie stood back up. Without giving Byron the chance to speak to the children, she immediately issued an order of expulsion."Since the sun is already up, please bring Estelle back quickly. Your home also needs to be thoroughly disinfected. The sooner the better."Her words gave them no reason to refuse her.Byron raised his brow noncommittally, and he looked down at his daughter.Estie pursed her lips reluctantly. "Daddy can go back by himself."The little girl had fallen ill so abruptly last night and only recovered today. She was still feeling a little uneasy.She thought she could play with Auntie and the brothers for a while today and did not expect Auntie to be so eager to drive her away the moment she woke up.Hearing what the little girl said, Rosalie and Byron both frowned, but their thoughts were completely different.If it were the night before, Rosalie would definitely have let the little girl stay without hesitation.However, Rosalie's con
At the same time, Lawrence Manor.Mrs. Zora had practically been awake the entire night.Since Byron left with Estie the night before, Mrs. Zora felt a little itchy all over but she did not think much about it and had planned to continue sleeping. However, she did not expect that her body would grow itchier as time passed. It itched so much that she could not sleep. She finally reached morning and when she woke up, she saw a lot of red, star-like dots on her body.A few of the servants who had a good relationship with Mrs. Zora came in to take a look. Their bodies also started itching after a while.Mrs. Zora realized almost immediately that this disease was contagious and immediately told everyone not to touch each other anymore. Those who were not infected were immediately arranged by Mrs. Zora to go to the yard.After handling the situation at home simply, Mrs. Zora then thought to call Byron to explain the situation.She saw Byron's car driving in the moment she brought h
"Byron, what's going on?"After being stunned for a few seconds, Wendy walked up to Byron with a concerned expression as she pretended to be unaware about what happened the day before after barely suppressing the panic in her heart.Byron looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly. There was scrutiny in his gaze. Last night had been a mess. Byron had heard what Rosalie said, which was that the child’s symptoms were allergic reactions caused by bacteria.As for where they came from, he had not had the time to think about it.He had only gotten the time to recall it carefully while on the way back. Everything had been fine before Wendy arrived at the manor, but as soon as she did, the bacteria also appeared.This made him suspect the woman in front of him.Feeling his gaze sweep over her, Wendy’s heart abruptly constricted. She squeezed her palms hard only then did she calmed down. She pretended to ask innocently, "I heard from the servant just now that there is some
Hearing what Byron said, Wendy did not care about her guilty conscience anymore. “Byron, what are you talking about? My father hasn't calmed down yet, where am I supposed to go?"She had finally moved into the manor; how could she leave so easily?Byron, however, was unmoved, he just stared at her expressionlessly. "If you can't go home, then go back to the hotel. The manor had only gone through its first round of disinfecting and I don’t know whether or not there are more hidden bacteria. If I let you stay here knowing that there are still risks, I would not be able to explain myself to your elders."He spoke of his concerns, but his tone was indifferent.Wendy only felt a chill in her heart.She was not stupid. Of course, she was aware that this was Byron’s excuse to drive her away.However, she had no valid reason to refuse him.Realizing this, Wendy hated that Estie had recovered so quickly and that she did not make her suffer more!"I'll be waiting for you in the car." Byr
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
