Before leaving, Byron went to the little boys' room to check on them.As soon as he opened the door, he saw two little boys holding a laptop while whispering to each other.When they noticed Daddy had come in, the little boys closed the laptop and looked over with a guilty conscience. "Uncle, why are you here? Is Mommy all right?"Byron had no clothes to wear, and he still had on his vomit-crusted shirt with his coat thrown over it.As he caught the two little boys still awake, the man frowned. "It's so late now. Why are you both still not asleep?" The little boys looked at each other. "We'll sleep right away!"They would not tell Daddy that they did not sleep because they were worried that Daddy and Mommy would quarrel again!Byron glanced at them and said solemnly, "Your mommy is already asleep. I'm going home now. You should rest early too."After that, Byron warned again, "Don’t tell your Mommy about whatever happened tonight.”Hearing this, the little boys obediently agr
Early the next morning, Rosalie woke up in a daze and felt a splitting headache.There was a strong smell of alcohol in the room.The memories of last night were slowly coming back to her.She only remembered that she drank a lot at the celebration banquet held by Xander, and after that, Xander seemed to say that he was going to send her back.She could not remember what happened after that.It stood to reason that the room should be a mess after she drank so much, but right now, the room was clean.If it was not for the smell of alcohol, she would not believe that she had drank so much alcohol yesterday.Rosalie got down from the bed in confusion but accidentally stepped on something.Looking down, she saw that her clothes were thrown on the floor in a mess.Rosalie's brows furrowed suddenly, and she felt as if she had forgotten something important.After thinking about it for a long time, she could not think of anything. Instead, her head hurt more and more.Rosalie had no
Rosalie and the little boys chatted as they went downstairs together.While eating breakfast, the doorbell rang suddenly.The little boys raised their heads all of a sudden, their eyes full of anticipation. They thought that it was Daddy who came to see Mommy and turned to look at the door.Rosalie felt puzzled by the excited look of the little boys, so she got up and opened the door."Rosie." Mary stood at the door, and when she saw her opening the door, she looked into the house again as if looking for someone.Rosalie was about to ask her, but the little boys suddenly hurried over and looked up at their godmother with a smile."Godmother, have you eaten? Do you want to eat with us?"Mary was about to ask when Byron left, but her thoughts were interrupted by the little boys. She leaned over and touched the little boys' heads. She refused with a smile. "No, I have to go to work. You enjoy your breakfast."After that, Mary got up and looked at her best friend. "How are you feel
Once the kids entered the kindergarten, Rosalie raised her eyes in a complicated mood to meet Byron’s gaze. She said hesitantly, "I heard from Lucian and Nox that you sent me home last night."Byron nodded noncommittally, frowned, and looked away from her face to the side as if nothing had happened.When he saw this woman's face, he could not help but recall the scene he saw last night...Rosalie subconsciously glanced down his line of sight, and what caught her eye was Byron’s car that was parked on the side of the road.She thought that the man was in a hurry to leave. Hence, Rosalie went straight to the point. "How did we meet last night? I can’t recall."When she asked where the two met, his stern eyes and face darkened suddenly. "We met in the hotel elevator by coincidence."As for how he snatched this woman away from Xander's arms, Byron did not elaborate.Rosalie could imagine that.‘With this man's domineering temperament, he must have been very angry to see me and Xand
As soon as she arrived at the research institute, she received a call from Xander.Rosalie put away her thoughts and picked up the call. "Young Master Xander, what's the matter?"On the other end of the line, Xander heard her voice and remembered what happened last night. A dark shadow flashed across his eyes. "Oh, it's nothing. I just want to ask for your opinion. Heronial Corporation wants you to be their technical consultant, and I think that’s a great idea. What do you think?"Hearing this, Rosalie couldn't help but be slightly startled. After a few seconds, she agreed with a smile. "Since it's your and Heronial Corporation’s wishes, of course, I won't refuse."Hearing this, Xander smiled solemnly. "Then I'm relieved.”The two of them then briefly chatted about some details before hanging up.Rosalie put the phone aside, and the emotions in her heart surged again.‘According to Xander, Lancer Corporation could successfully cooperate with Heronial Corporation because of my as
At his best friend's words, Byron’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He did not respond immediately.Andrius did not wait for his answer and hurriedly urged his buddy. "Our project will be on the right track soon, and Heronial Corporation is a very important part. If we can't acquire Heronial Corporation, we can only settle for the next best thing."His implication to Byron was even if Quirke Enterprise did not mind it, had Lawrence Corporation ever settled for anything that was second best?With Lawrence Corporation’s reputation in Coast City, they always got what they wanted, and other companies always rushed to cooperate with the Lawrence family.This time, Heronial Corporation had the audacity to not only make repeated bargains with Lawrence Corporation but also called off the agreement at the last moment.If it were another company, they would have already taught them a lesson.Byron had not made a move at all this time. It looked like he was about to swallow this unfair
Andrius nodded simply, then glanced meaningfully at his buddy. The expression on his face became sphinxlike."I heard that Dr. Jacobs not only participated in the cooperation between Lancer Corporation and Heronial Corporation, but Heronial Corporation also intends to hire Dr. Jacobs as a technical consultant. I wonder what Dr. Jacobs thinks?"Byron was hearing this for the first time.Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and his expression was tenser than when they talked about Heronial Corporation. "I don't know."He thought that after he told the woman yesterday that Andrius snatched Heronial Corporation from him, she would have some scruples over the cooperation.‘I never expected Heronial Corporation would actually invite that woman to be an official technical consultant.’As Byron thought of the possibility of the woman agreeing to this, there was a burst of anger in his heart.Andrius was a little surprised at his best friend’s expression. "Byron, you haven't won Dr. Jacobs’
After long contemplation, Andrius bit the bullet and gave a suggestion. "It must be that you haven't done enough." Hearing this, Byron raised his brows slightly, his voice implicitly questioning Andrius. "Well, I did everything you said."Andrius was dumbfounded and felt like asking him which one of them was actually pursuing Rosalie.Then, he considered Byron’s personality and concluded his buddy was not really lady-chasing material. Andrius could only save his breath and just take the fall for his buddy's failure in pursuits."That's because the methods I told you before aren’t enough..." Andrius said resignedly.Hearing this, Byron looked at him puzzled. "What else can I do?"The woman's attitude this morning made him uneasy, and Byron wanted to change her attitude as quickly as possible.Andrius touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience. "Women like romance. If you can find a way to give her a romantic experience, she’ll definitely be moved."‘Romance?’Byron fr
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
