After Melody and Benedict left, Rosalie looked at the time."It's getting late, I should go back. I don't feel at ease when the children are at home by themselves."Byron frowned slightly, then said, "I'll send you."Indeed, it was late now. With Wendy's whereabouts unknown, she may appear at any time to threaten Rosalie's life. Byron was worried about letting her go back by herself.Rosalie knew that he was worried about her, so she did not refuse. "Alright, thanks for the ride."The two got into the car. Byron started the car and drove towards Rosalie's house.On the way, they talked about Wendy."I wonder where Wendy is now. I will never be at ease if she is still at large..."Rosalie looked at the scenery outside the window with melancholy in her eyes.Byron slowed down the speed of the car. His deep voice soothed her. "The evidence is solid. The police will not let her go unpunished, and I will do my best to locate her whereabouts. Before that, I will have my men protect
There was some hesitation in Rosalie's eyes."I want to know, what you do think of Lucian and Nox? Be honest with me. Is it because of me that you choose to accept them?"Byron's embrace did not waver in the slightest. "You know my character. Apart from Estie, I don't have any patience with children. Somehow, Lucian and Nox are different. Maybe it's because they are your flesh and blood. I felt close to them from the first time we met."He let go of the little woman in his arms. His gaze was deep. "When I saw them for the first time, I was ready to accept them. True to my statement, from now on, they will be you and my children, just like Estie."Rosalie's heart was flooded in waves from his answer.‘Byron said that he felt close to Lucian and Nox the first time he saw them. He wondered if it was because those two children were my flesh and blood.‘In fact, the real reason should be that their bodies bleed Byron’s blood as well…‘It turns out that blood bonds can be so strong.’
Byron’s heart melt as he saw Nox take the initiative to admit his mistake. The man quickly urged the kids. "It's getting late, sleep early, and don't go anywhere in these few days."The little ones all nodded.Lucian said, "Then, we’ll go back to bed."Then, he led his younger siblings into the room as if nothing had happened.Byron watched the three little figures disappear on the balcony. Then, he did not speak again.Rosalie's ears felt faintly hot.‘All this time, the kid only ever caught me and Byron hugging.‘But this time, the little ones almost saw us…’Thinking of this, Rosalie gave Byron another look.Byron looked at her innocently. "It's already late. I thought they had slept."Rosalie was silenced by his confidence which made her a little mad. She huffed, "Yeah, it’s late. I'm going to bed too. You should go back soon, President Lawrence!"Byron doted on her even more from her little tantrum.As soon as Rosalie walked past him, he grabbed her wrist, forcing her
"Sis Wendy, how is it? Any solution?"The clock was ticking, it was getting late. Andrea felt increasingly anxious.Finally, something clicked in Wendy. She gritted her teeth. "The man that night, did you find anything about him?"Andrea's eyes widened in astonishment. "You want to find him? Didn't you say that he is with Rosalie? What if he rats you out?"Wendy's eyes were full of desperation. "This is my only way! That man has an imposing demeanor, he must have some influence!""But...how could such a person be Rosalie's lackey?" Andrea's eyes were full of puzzlement."Did you find anything or not?" Wendy could not be bothered to explain further, and asked in a cold voice.Andrea nodded hesitantly. "I checked the surveillance, trailed him and found his residence."Wendy did not hesitate. "Take me there!"Andrea could only agree.The two took a taxi on the curb. Andrea gave the address, and the car slowly drove away from the hotel entrance.The car stopped at the gate of a
Wendy clenched her hands that hung by her side tightly. Her fingertips dug deep into her flesh."Who said I was begging you? I'm threatening you, can't you see it?""Threat?" Alistair's eyes became more playful, "I don't think you’re in any position to threaten me, darling."Wendy gritted her teeth. "If you don't help me, I'll call the police! What you did to me that night is enough for you to go to jail!"The smile on Alistair's face suddenly dissipated. His whole demeanor turned sharp as a blade when she threatened him about going to jail."If I was afraid, I wouldn't have done it that night. Do you have evidence on me to put me in jail?"Hearing this, Wendy's eyes trembled imperceptibly.‘Evidence... I had thought about using this man at the time, so how could I leave evidence?’"If you don’t have any, then you better behave yourself. Don't be mistaken that I have a crush on you just because I’ve touched you. If you hadn't had a relationship with Byron, your looks alone woul
“Speaking of which, you haven’t told me why Byron wanted to break off his engagement tie with you.”Alistair stared at Wendy’s face in bewilderment.Wendy’s anxious mind relaxed a little upon hearing that question. She was relieved. “You have nothing to do with Rosalie?”Puzzled, Alistair asked, “Why do you think I have anything to do with her?”Relieved, Wendy did not hide her hatred for Rosalie. “If not for that b*tch, I would have already married Byron! I’ll never forgive her for snatching what was mine.”Alistair’s gaze on her changed. After a while, he smiled suddenly and said, “I can help you.”That was out of Wendy’s expectations. Delighted, she looked into his eyes.She was unsure if she was thinking too much, but she seemed to notice a glimpse of malicious intent in his eyes.Alistair did not want to waste his time putting on an act. He stated his suggestion frankly, “I can send you abroad, but you must listen to my arrangement. It might be a little challenging. So, ar
There was no news of the arrest for the next two days.The Lawrence family had sent their men to look for Wendy, but they could not find her anywhere in Coast City.Troubled, Luther looked at Byron, who was standing in his study. “Sir.”“Are there any updates on the investigation of Wendy’s whereabouts?”Byron’s voice was cold upon mentioning Wendy’s name.Luther could sense Byron’s anger, and he was afraid. “We found nothing. Even the police can’t find her.”Byron’s mood sank, and it made a chill run down Luther’s spine.“What about Henry and Magdalene? Wendy didn’t contact them?”Byron’s gaze was sharp, and it showed how displeased he was.Luther’s voice sounded nervous. He answered cautiously, “No. I’ve looked into that. They lost contact with Wendy since the photo got exposed online.”Then, he glanced at Byron’s expression before speaking out what was in his mind, “I suspect Wendy might have fled. She hasn’t contacted Lucille for a long time, maybe because she noticed som
Andrius’ expression looked serious when he hung up the call. He strode out of his room and stood before Andrea’s room.Since Wendy left, Andrea had been hiding in her room out of guilt.When she heard someone knocking on the door of her room, she almost darted out of her bed in shock.“Andrea, it’s me. Open the door.” Andrius’ demanding voice came from the door.Andrea did not dare to face him. She pretended to sound ill and said, “I’m not well. Let’s talk some other day…”“If you don’t open the door, I’ll get the key and open it myself.” Andrius did not plan to compromise this time.Andrea got up from her bed and opened the door. “Andrius, what’s so urgent that you…”Andrius stared straight into Andrea’s eyes and asked, “Two and a half million is missing from our company’s account when you worked there. What did you spend this money on?”At first, he thought his sister had bought some luxury goods.After all, it was not a lot of money. Thus, Andrius just turned a blind eye to
