After Rosalie got into the taxi, Xander turned around, frowned, and glanced at the man beside him.‘Throughout their interactions just now, if I was not mistaken, this man seemed to have some feelings for Rosalie.’‘However, in his capacity…’Xander glanced at Yves calmly, and a trace of irony flashed across his eyes.Yves watched the taxi disappear from his line of sight, and then withdrew his gaze and met Xander's line of sight."Young Master Xander." Yves felt a little strange in his heart, and quickly suppressed it.Xander unhurriedly withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.As if unintentionally, Yves mentioned. "Young Master Xander seems to understand something that is going on Dr. Jacobs’ mind?"Otherwise, he would not have taken the lead in helping Rosalie before she spoke.Moreover, before arriving at the institute, the two were obviously together.Xander raised his eyebrows noncommittally. "What do you intend to say, Dr. Graham?"Yves heard the faint disdain in his t
Facing Xander's repeated questioning, Yves's complexion changed gradually.After a while, he put it bluntly. "This is Dr. Jacobs' private matter. I thought Young Master Xander knew about it, so I brought it up in front of you. Now it seems that you don't know, so let’s forget it."Xander raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, the doubts in his eyes were all silent.For a moment, Yves was stunned, feeling a little troubled in his heart.However, he thought. ‘If I wanted to stand as high as Rosalie, it was essential to cling to the Lancer family.’Thinking of this, Yves suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and casually talked about his relationship with Rosalie."We have known each other since Dr. Jacobs went abroad, and we have cooperated many times since then. After I returned to Somerland, I thought that I would lose contact with Dr. Jacobs, but I didn't expect that Dr. Jacobs also returned to the country as well. Shortly after that, she even jointly ran this research insti
Meanwhile, Rosalie kept thinking about Byron and Estelle on the way back.After a long dilemma, Rosalie clenched her fist hard to calm herself down.Before she settled the issue about Heronial Corporation, there was no evidence to prove that Byron was behind this.She could not prove that Byron did it because of her either.Therefore, she did not need to feel bad now.That thought swirled around in her mind several times before she reluctantly let go of the matter.What was left to worry about was Estelle.Rosalie wondered how Estelle was and if she was still crying.She even wondered if Byron had brought Estelle to her house.With this in mind, Rosalie took out her phone to check for missed calls or messages.She looked at it several times, yet nothing was on the screen.“Sir, please hurry up.” After being disappointed for a while, Rosalie decided to urge the taxi driver.The driver agreed and sped up gradually.20 minutes later, the taxi slowly pulled over at Rosalie’s h
When Rosalie was at Lawrence Manor, she suppressed the uneasy feeling in her and pressed the doorbell.It was Mrs. Zora who answered the door again.Mrs. Zora looked at the familiar face on the screen helplessly.“Mrs. Zora, is Estie back?”Rosalie looked at the image on the screen carefully.Mrs. Zora sighed. However, she recalled what Byron had told her and shook her head. “Not yet.”Rosalie looked disappointed when she heard this. She forced a smile as she asked, “Can I go in and wait for her to come back?”Mrs. Zora was reluctant to see Rosalie in such a state, but she had to reject her request mercilessly. “Please leave.”Just now, when Master returned home with Little Lady, he looked displeased. He had told her to ask Rosalie to leave if she came again.Although Mrs. Zora felt sorry for Rosalie, she could not disobey Byron’s order, especially when he was angry.Rosalie understood what was going on when Mrs. Zora asked her to leave. She lifted her head and looked at Este
Rosalie headed back home. When she arrived at the villa entrance, she tried to gather herself before opening the door.When the little ones saw that their mommy had returned, they approached her and asked, “Mommy, is Estie back home?”Rosalie looked at the little ones’ worried looks. She frowned, not knowing how to answer them.It was only her guess that Byron and Estelle were back home.The two little ones knew their mommy so well that when she did not answer immediately, they knew their mommy had failed to meet Estelle again.“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’m sure Estie is fine.”Lucian tried to hide his worries and comforted their mommy like an adult. “If something had happened to Estie, Mr. Byron would’ve called you.”Rosalie felt that Lucian’s words were reasonable.In the past, Byron would take the initiative to contact her just because of Estelle, even if she tried to stay away from him.It should be the same this time.However, when Rosalie recalled how hesitant Miss Zora was,
Rosalie snapped out of her daze, smiled at her sons, and said, “It’s nothing. He’s asking me if I’m back home.”The little ones, of course, did not buy it and stared at her.After a short disruption from Xander’s call, Rosalie’s attention was back to Estelle’s matter.Looking at her dark mobile screen, Rosalie hesitated before searching for Byron’s number in her contact list.Even though she knew Byron might not answer her call, she thought she should try it.It was better than waiting at home doing nothing.With that thought in mind, Rosalie clenched her fist and tried hard to remain calm as she dialed Byron’s number.Soon, the call went through, and Byron’s name popped out on her phone screen.The little ones quieted down when they saw their mommy calling their daddy.Their anxiousness overtook their curiosity about the phone call from Xander just now.Meanwhile, Byron was on the second floor of Lawrence Manor, in Estelle’s room.His phone rang suddenly.Estelle frowned i
Meanwhile, Byron, who was in Lawrence Manor, heard his phone ring again.Looking at the incoming call, Byron frowned and hesitated for a while. Eventually, he took his phone and walked out of the room to answer it.Byron had no reason to decline the kids’ call, no matter why they called or what situation he was in.After all, if the little ones had called him for help and he chose not to answer, he was worried something would happen to the little ones.Although the possibility was small, he still feared it might happen.“Lucian, what’s wrong?”Lucian greeted Byron with his cute voice and looked at his mommy cautiously.Rosalie tried hard to calm down and smile at her son, beckoning him to continue.Only then did Lucian ask, “Mommy told us Estie cried. How is she now?”The little one deliberately mentioned his mommy to let Daddy know that Mommy was the one who told them to ask him.Byron’s gaze deepened when he heard Lucian’s words.He suspected Rosalie might be the one who a
“I’ll hang up the call if you’re done speaking.”Byron waited for a while. Since the little ones were not speaking anymore, he decided to hang up the call.Hearing this, the little ones quickly stopped him. “Mr. Byron, wait!”Byron did as the little ones asked and waited for them to speak.Nox glanced at his Mommy cautiously. Then, he held Lucian’s smartwatch and said, “Mr. Byron, are you busy with your work? If you’re busy, you can send Estie here. Mommy and we will take good care of her.”After saying that, the little one subconsciously held his breath, waiting for Byron’s answer.Byron had refused them when they requested to visit Estelle just now.It was highly likely that Byron would reject this request too.However, the little ones felt they should ask no matter what.Maybe their daddy would agree!Rosalie did not expect the little ones to ask that and was also nervous.A deep voice came from the other end of the call a moment later. “It’s alright. I’ll take care of Es
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
