"Have you all been here before?" Byron’s footsteps stopped under a big tree.Rosalie also stopped and looked around before shaking her head. "No."The tree was at the edge of the woods. Yesterday, she was with the little ones in the woods and just by the waterfall. They had never been to this exact spot at all.Byron nodded clearly and motioned her to look under the tree.Rosalie followed his line of sight and looked closely, only to see faint footprints under the tree. It belonged to an adult. As they followed the footprints to the edge of the lawn, they gradually got lighter and lighter. There was no way they could know whether the owner of these footprints had ever been near the tent. One thing for certain was that besides Rosalie and the little ones, there was someone else here yesterday.Even when she was playing with the little ones, this person was always watching. For a moment, Rosalie shuddered in fear at that realization.Byron concluded, "Someone was following you. A
The two took the little ones to put away the tent and tidy up the camping equipment. They then went back into Byron’s car. Rosalie's car was left in the same spot, and they got a mechanic to tow it away.Back at Rosalie's house.Rosalie took the two boys out of the car, and Byron also got out of the car to help them unload the trunk.After that, Rosalie said goodbye to the two of them and prepared to go into the villa with the two little boys."Auntie..."Little Estie stood beside Byron's legs, stretched out her little hand, and grabbed the hem of Rosalie's clothes. After a full day spent with Auntie and the little brothers, she was reluctant to leave just like this.Rosalie's heart softened at her voice. She lowered her eyes and touched the little girl’s head."Estie, are you hungry? Come in and have something to eat."When the little one woke up in the morning, her stomach rumbled. She must be starving now.Estie's eyes lit up slightly, and she happily came to Rosalie’s sid
Estie raised her head aside and looked at her expectantly.Rosalie's eyes flickered twice, and when she heard Byron’s words, she managed to suppress the worries in her heart."I see. I’ll take good care of Estie these few days."Byron nodded noncommittally, quickly said goodbye, and left.After she watched his car go away, Rosalie brought the kids into the villa.The three kids were already famished at this point.Rosalie did not delay and made a quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.After breakfast, Rosalie let the kids play by themselves. She then got up and went into the study.She could not ignore the person who caused the kids to be infected with bacteria. Now that Byron had placed Estie with her, she wanted to catch that person as soon as possible and relieve the potential danger around the kids.As far as she knew, not every research institute was able to create this strain of bacteria.‘In the entire Coast City, there are only a few research institu
Rosalie sighed at her best friend’s questions. "It's a long story."Mary took the little ones into the living room and skipped the formalities. "Then tell me slowly. But before that, feed me." She came over as soon as she got up, and she was about to starve to death.Rosalie took the extra sandwiches she made just now to fill her friend’s stomach.While Mary ate, Rosalie recalled their experience yesterday.When she heard that the little ones were infected with bacteria yesterday, she felt as if the sandwich in her mouth had instantly turned bad."Who dares to do this to my godsons?!"‘And they caused them unbearable pain at that!’Mary hugged the little ones beside her in distress as she thought of the pain they endured yesterday.The boys knew that their godmother loved them and said sensibly, "Godmother, don't worry. We’re all okay now!"The boys even jumped up and down a few times as if to physically prove they were alright.Estie was still unfamiliar with Mary, so she
Once they heard what the person on the other side said, Rosalie and Mary, looked at each other with suspicion in each other's eyes.They had asked almost all the research institutes in Coast City that had been qualified to develop this kind of bacteria. Only this one confirmed a loss of bacteria strains.Moreover, from half a month ago until now, as long as the bacteria was stored properly, it can remain active!Realizing this, Mary asked without hesitation, "How did the bacteria get lost? Did you find anything now?" The other side did not disappoint and said bluntly, "It must be taken by a researcher."Mary was puzzled."Although there was no definite evidence, we came to the same speculation. Two days after the bacteria was lost, that researcher suddenly resigned, and we have no news of her after that."This time, Rosalie took the lead before Mary spoke "What's the name of that researcher?" The other side seemed to be a little confused about the sudden change, and after a f
After Nox left, Rosalie and Mary began to check Nancy's resume.When Mary saw a research institute where she used to work, her face suddenly changed.Rosalie noticed the change in her girlfriend's expression and asked inexplicably. "What's wrong?"Mary pointed to the name of the research institute on the screen, and said firmly, "This is one of Fuller Industries' businesses."Mary had been in Coast City for so many years, she had cooperated with almost all of Coast City's research institutes.She also knew the background of these institutes.Due to the entanglement between Rosalie and Wendy, Mary paid special attention when cooperating with Fuller Industries’ research institutes. Coincidentally, this was the one she once worked with.Rosalie's brows gradually frowned at her best friend’s words.Upon a closer look, the timing of Nancy's resignation from the Fuller Industries Research Institute was also debatable. Only half a month after leaving the Fuller Industries Research Ins
At the same time, Byron also asked Luther to investigate the matter.With the Lawrence Corporation’s financial resources, the investigation was effortless.Within an hour, the private detective was brought to the Lawrence Corporation by Luther. The private detective realized that something was wrong when he was taken to the entrance of the Lawrence Corporation."Boss... What did I do wrong? Why did you bring me here?"Luther glanced at him coldly, "You’re wrong. I'm not the boss, you'll meet the real boss soon, just wait."As he heard these words, the private detective's legs trembled subtly.All he could think of was Byron Lawrence, the boss of the Lawrence Corporation.When he followed Rosalie according to Wendy's instructions, he did see Rosalie in contact with Byron. However, he never thought much about it.After all, he just took a few photos to make some quick money, and never did anything out of bounds. He never expected that he would be caught by Byron today...He thou
As soon as Kevin said that, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.He carefully looked up and saw that Byron had already stood up from his seat and was walking towards him.The man’s threatening force when he was sitting was strong enough, but as he stood tall, that suddenly made Kevin feel a little breathless.Byron stood in front of Kevin expressionlessly, his voice cold. "I was negligent, you are a private detective, of course, you did things for money."After that, Byron glanced in Luther's direction.Luther took the order, went out and brought in a check, and handed it to him.Kevin only heard brisk footsteps, and then, a cheque was held by a sharp-boned hand and dangled in front of his eyes."Tell me who did this, you can fill this check as you like.” Byron’s voice softened a bit.Hearing this, Kevin's eyes turned tightly in the direction of the check. He has worked as a private detective for so many years, and of course, he only did it for money.A blank cheque promised by
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
