His grip hurt Rosalie, and she gasped as she glared at Byron with her beautiful eyes.Byron’s face looked angry and scary.After some time, Byron approached Rosalie step by step.Rosalie tried to back off, but her wrist was in Byron’s grip, and she could not do anything.The two were so close that they could almost feel each other’s breaths for a moment.Subconsciously, Rosalie slowed her breathing pace and kept her hands close to her.Byron’s gaze fell on her as he observed every inch of her. His grip on her wrist tightened gradually.When Rosalie thought Byron was going to do something, he let go of her wrist.Rosalie was startled.“Heronial Corporation’s branches in other cities have some stock of the medicinal materials that were burned in the fire. I can ask someone to send them to your research institute if you need them.”Byron tried hard to say that.Just now, he almost lost control because of his anger.However, thinking of his purpose of visit and what Andrius had
Byron observed Rosalie’s face, feeling annoyed.Although Rosalie did not say so, Byron knew from her face that she still suspected him.Realizing this, Byron was unhappy, and his voice turned cold.“I won’t force it since you don’t want to accept my offer, Mis Jacobs.”Then, he walked out of the study.Rosalie’s eyes flashed with doubts upon looking at the back of the man walking away.After chatting with Byron for some time, Rosalie still did not understand why Byron had come to her place.She would not believe that he was only here to supply her with medicinal materials.However, Byron did not mention anything else.Rosalie pondered the matter for some time in her study but could not figure it out.In the end, she walked out of the study.The little ones had finished dinner and were playing in the living room.“Auntie!”Estie dashed toward Rosalie and hugged Rosalie’s legs when she saw Rosalie walking out of the study.Startled, Rosalie was surprised that Estelle had no
After Byron’s car left, Rosalie took Lucian and Nox to the living room.The two little ones looked at their mother anxiously.These days, Mommy seemed to be in a bad mood.It was worse after she came out of the study.They wondered what Daddy said to Mommy again.Nox, who had always been bad at hiding his emotions, asked, “Mommy, what did you and Mr. Byron talk about?”Rosalie’s eyes turned gloomy as she looked at Nox upon hearing the little one’s question.The little ones looked at her wistfully, trying to tell her that she could not deceive them.Meeting their gazes, Rosalie sighed and brushed them off by saying, “We talked about work.”“Mommy, you don’t seem very happy.”They had never seen Mommy like this for work before.It was like she was watching out for something.The little ones looked at each other in a puzzle.‘What did Daddy do that made Mommy so wary?’Rosalie knew she could not brush them off, so she explained, “Mr. Byron wanted to cooperate with me, but I
Meanwhile, Estelle sat in the backseat of the car with her cheeks puffed while she was on her way back to Lawrence Manor. She gazed at her daddy’s face through the rearview mirror.“Daddy, did you make Auntie angry again?”Byron’s forehead creased when he heard Estelle’s question.Catching the change in her daddy’s expression, Estelle snorted, knowing her guess was correct.She thought about why her father wanted to take her to see her Auntie.It was because he wanted to quarrel with Auntie.“Estie will never listen to Daddy again!” Estelle said moodily.Byron frowned and explained to Estelle patiently, “It’s because of work.”It was that excuse again.Estelle looked in the rearview mirror unhappily. “You only know how to lie to kids.”Byron’s brows knitted when he heard that.Estelle listed out Byron’s excuses. “You said the same thing last time. You even deceived Estie tonight, using me as an excuse to meet Auntie…”As a result, her daddy annoyed Auntie again when they we
Although the little girl still felt aggrieved, her attention was somewhat diverted by the camping trip.Byron frowned and thought out loud, "Auntie Rosalie should’ve prepared food and water… Besides these, what else do we need?"When she heard her daddy's voice, Estie's attention was finally all focused on the camping trip.However, the little girl hardly participated in group activities since she was little. The Lawrence family had no such tradition of taking their children out camping. As for what to prepare for camping, Estie was even more clueless than Byron was.After a long while, the little girl's eyes flashed a little slyly, and she cautiously suggested, "Ask Auntie!"Byron glanced at the rearview mirror and turned a deaf ear. "Let’s go back and rest early."Estie knew that meant Daddy’s refusal, and she was unhappy.They went all the way to theLawrence family’s manor.Byron got out of the car, turned around to open the rear door, and reached out to carry the little gir
"Daddy!"Estie called out for him anxiously when the bedroom door was about to be closed.Byron cooperated and stopped. “Is there anything else, darling?"The little girl looked at him aggrievedly. She thought that if she were a little angry, Daddy would coax her and agree to her request. She never expected Daddy to ignore her! The little girl was not used to this treatment.Byron deeply raised his eyebrows. "If there’s nothing else, you should rest early."After that, he was about to close the door again.Just then, Estie asked naively, "Will you come with us tomorrow?"Hearing this, Byron deeply frowned and did not answer immediately.Estie lowered her head and played with her fingers. "Tomorrow is the weekend. You should have time to spend with us, right?"‘Even if Daddy and Auntie got into a quarrel, they should be able to reconcile if we go camping together tomorrow, right?’She remembered that after their last vacation together, Auntie stopped avoiding them. This camp
Early the next morning, Estie got up from the bed and waited reluctantly at Byron's bedroom door.As soon as Byron opened the door, he saw the little girl at the door.Without a doubt, he already knew what her purpose was.Byron did not give the little girl a chance to speak and said directly, "Hurry down and have your breakfast. Auntie Rosalie will be here soon."The little girl shook her head as she wanted to speak, but her Daddy interrupted her instead."I’m going to work now. You listen to Auntie and call me if you need anything."After that, Byron did not give the little girl a chance to speak again. He walked around her and strode downstairs.Downstairs, Mrs. Zora had prepared breakfast.As Byron walked toward the door, Mrs. Zora asked with concern, "Master, breakfast is ready. Will you have some before leaving?"Byron kept walking. “It’s alright. Miss Jacobs will pick Estie up later. Please remember to open the door."Mrs. Zora frowned and wanted him to have breakfast
Rosalie got into the car with the kids and slowly drove away from the manor.At the same time, from a big tree at the entrance of the manor, a thin man jumped down from the tree with a camera in his hand.As he watched Rosalie's car drive away, the man walked unhurriedly to the car parked in the corner. He started the engine and opened his phone.Half an hour later, Wendy woke up from her sleep and grabbed her phone habitually.As soon as she turned on the phone, she saw a message on the screen.It was sent by the private detective she had assigned to monitor Rosalie.Wendy woke up immediately, got up from the bed, and opened the message.Several photos taken from a top-down perspective came into view.In the photo, Rosalie came out of the villa with a small suitcase, and the three little kids followed her obediently.The suitcase was pink. One would not need to think much to know it was Estie’s. However, the contents were hard to guess.In the next photo, the few of them wal
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
