It was about two hours later.Magdalene did not dare to waste any second. She quickly dialed Melody’s number.Melody picked up soon after the call went through. “Magdalene, what’s wrong?”She sounded calm.Obviously, she knew nothing about what was going on.Magdalene forced herself to calm down, but her voice trembled uncontrollably. “Do you have time? Wendy wants to talk to you about something.”Melody was puzzled to hear Magdalene speak like that. “What happened? Is it about the engagement? Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Byron…”Wendy and her parents felt guilty when they heard Byron’s name.Magdalene only dared to say, “You’ll know when you arrive…”Then, she hung up the call.She believed Melody would come!As expected, half an hour later, Melody was already in the living room of the Fuller family’s residence.Looking at the gloomy faces of the three people, Melody’s heart sank, and she frowned. “What happened? Why are you all like this?”Suddenly, Wendy pounced at Melody
Wendy and her parents were disappointed that they had failed to beg for mercy.Melody glanced at them coldly. “How dare you cheat me all these years and have the guts to beg mercy from me now?!”The three of them had their heads down, not daring to say a word.After a moment of silence, Melody turned around and left. “I wish you luck!”There was a long silence among the three in the living room.Suddenly, Henry stood up and looked at his daughter, who was half kneeling on the ground. He could not bear to let Byron hurt her. “I’ll send you abroad!”Wendy lifted her head in shock.“This is the only way!” Magdalene sighed. “If you leave, we can at least keep you safe. Otherwise, we might lose both our money and you.”Wendy hesitated.Going abroad…Would Byron let her go if she was abroad?Besides, would Byron give her a chance to go abroad?Thinking of these concerns, Wendy could not make herself agree.In a blink of an eye, it was half past one.Wendy and her parents had no
When Lucian and Nox heard they were going to their daddy’s place, they were overjoyed.The little boys thought Daddy was worried about Mommy and wanted to take her over.However, they did not understand why he would want to fetch Mommy there.If Daddy was worried about Mommy, would it not be easier for him to come over and take care of Mommy?The little ones were confused when they walked out of Rosalie’s bedroom.Before they could think of an answer, Luther was already downstairs knocking on the door.Rosalie had changed her clothes and went downstairs to get the door.“Miss Jacobs, Master asked me to pick you and the kids up and drive you to his manor,” Luther spoke respectfully.Rosalie nodded. “I know. He called me. The kids are coming down. Please wait for a moment.”Lucian and Nox trotted down the stairs as soon as she said that.Luther took them to the car when they were ready.On the way to Lawrence Manor, Rosalie could not help asking, “Do you know why Byron is aski
After Rosalie assured Estelle that she was fine, she took the little ones to Byron.“Mr. Byron, why is this uncle following and investigating Mommy?”Lucian was cautious and observant. He had been observing Kevin when Rosalie was talking to Estelle.Rosalie also frowned and glanced at Kevin when she heard Lucian’s question.She had a hunch that the reason Byron had called them here had something to do with Kevin.What she could not figure out was why he wanted her to bring Lucian and Nox along.She looked at Byron, worried. “Should we let the kids play upstairs?”Byron, however, shook his head thoughtfully and said, “It has something to do with them.”The ones Wendy needed to apologize to most were these three kids.Rosalie and the little ones were stunned.They were just kids. What could possibly make Byron put on such an expression?Suddenly, something struck Rosalie, and she looked at Byron while hesitating to speak. “Is it…”“Have a seat and wait for a while.” Byron bec
Two o’clock sharp.The Fuller family of three walked into the manor pathetically.Henry was still well-dressed and looked fine.Magdalene and Wendy looked pathetic. They had been crying all the way to Lawrence Manor. Their eyes were swollen, and their hair was disheveled.“Go in there and apologize sincerely!”Henry glanced at his daughter as they walked into the manor.Wendy naturally nodded without hesitation.What else could they do now?The family of three walked into the manor nervously.When they were in the living room, the first thing Wendy saw was Byron and Rosalie sitting on the same sofa. Although they were seated a distance apart, it was their kids between them.Displeasure and viciousness flashed in Wendy’s eyes.Even when she was close to Byron, Byron had never let her sit on the same sofa as him.He had always sat on the single sofa, trying to avoid her.They looked like a family sitting like that.The flame of jealousy ignited deep down in Wendy. Then, she
“Miss Fuller, since you can’t remember, why don’t Mr. Grimes remind you about it?”Byron only felt disgusted when he saw Wendy crying. “You can speak out if you think Mr. Grimes is not saying the right thing.”With that, Byron glanced at Kevin coldly, indicating he could start.Kevin understood, cleared his throat, and spoke, “Miss Fuller hired me to follow and investigate Miss Jacobs…”Just those few words made Wendy pounce on him like a maniac.“Shut up! I don’t know you! You crazy man! I don’t know what you’re talking about! Go to hell!”Before Kevin could react, Wendy had already pounced on him.Kevin was a man, after all, and Wendy did not have any strength left.With little effort, Kevin could easily push her away from him. “Stop it. Are you crazy?”He pushed Wendy to the ground, yet she stared at him viciously. “You’ll pay for what you’ve done! Do you think the Lawrence family will let you off after what you’ve done?”Kevin turned a deaf ear to her words and looked at
“Rosalie, you b*tch! Why are you framing me? Byron loved me! It’s because of you! You keep clinging to him, making him want to leave me! I want you dead!”Wendy pointed Rosalie in the nose as she cursed, “I’ll never let you off for this! Who do you think you are? How dare you snatch Byron away from me?! Byron will see who you truly are! You’re just a sl*t—”The villa hall echoed with Wendy’s hysterical scolding.“I forbid you to speak of Mommy like that! Mean lady! I hate you! I hate you the most!”Estelle lost her temper. She cried as she took things she could reach to smash them on Wendy.Rosalie quickly cuddled Estelle, feeling remorseful.She should have let the little ones go upstairs.This scene was too hysterical for the kids, especially Estelle, whose mood had always been unstable.“I don’t want the mean lady!” Estelle cried out of breath, “Mean Auntie scolded Mommy. She even pinched my arms and legs! Mommy! Estie wants Mommy!”Rosalie felt sorry for the little girl an
Estelle shrieked and grabbed Rosalie’s shoulder tightly in fear.Rosalie instinctively hugged the little girl and tilted her body, preparing to bear the pain herself.She heard a dull thud.However, the expected pain never came.Rosalie was startled for a few seconds. When she lifted her head, she glanced at Wendy.All she saw was Byron gripping Wendy’s hand that was holding the ashtray, and the ashtray fell to the ground.Wendy’s expression changed.The madness that led her to try and kill Rosalie did not fade, but fear gradually took over.“You are crazy!”Byron’s grip on her wrist almost killed her.When Wendy snapped out of her madness, she endured the pain in her wrist and apologized in a panic. “I-I don’t know what’s going on! Byron, please show mercy on me!”Before she could continue, Byron pushed her away.Wendy staggered and fell to the ground a distance away. She could not be bothered by the pain and begged for mercy, “I’ll never dare to do that again. Please forg
