Rosalie and Byron walked to the 16th building as written on the address.It was a villa with three-and-a-half stories that was located in the suburbs and cost less than ten million.Outside the villa was a yard surrounded by an iron fence. Lights were brightly lit on the second floor, and Violet was obviously still awake.Rosalie put on a gloomy expression and rang the doorbell.Before long, someone shouted from inside, “Who's at the door in the middle of the night?”Rosalie’s pupils constricted, alarmed. It was a male’s voice, and she was familiar with it. That man must be Ethan.Ethan smelled like alcohol as he approached the gate. When he saw Rosalie’s face through the bars, he was startled. Then, he saw Byron, who had a cold expression on his face.The husband and wife could see Ethan’s expression changing under the dim streetlight.“Rosalie? Why are you here at this hour?” Ethan’s voice sounded less aggressive than just now. He seemed more sober.“Open the gate. I came to
Violet rushed downstairs and saw a group of people in the dark. She was shocked and started yelling at them.“What do you want? I've already called the police! Get out of here!“Violet, do you think you have the right to call the police after what you've done?”The bodyguards made way for Rosalie to approach Violet.When Violet saw Rosalie and Byron, her expression changed, and she was flustered.“Rosalie, what are you trying to do?” She sounded guilty as she looked at her son’s condition.Although she did not see blood, Ethan was baring his teeth in pain and was drenched in a cold sweat.Violet dared not approach him or even look into Rosalie’s eyes.“Violet, you're really shameless and ruthless! You're a homewrecking mistress who chased my mother away. You even instigated your children to bully me. None of these matters now, however. But how dare you murder my mother?! Don’t you feel guilty about it?”Step by step, Rosalie walked toward Violet. She could no longer suppress h
The pain stimulation through dry needling did not last long. After a few minutes, Violet climbed up from the ground. Clusters of snow were stuck on her face as she looked at Rosalie in fear.“Violet, if you don’t want to experience this pain again, you’d better be honest. How did you poison my mother back then?”Rosalie was still burning in anger deep down as she glared at Violet.At the same time, Byron had turned on the recorder.Violet sat on the ground as she said, “Rosalie, I didn't do it. Gordon is dying, and he wants to frame me.”Her expression changed vaguely.Looking at the murderous bodyguards in front of her and looking at her son’s broken arms, she suddenly realized something.With Rosalie’s current ability, Rosalie could indeed destroy her and her family.Not to mention she had the Lawrence family backing her up.Admitting it did not seem to matter anymore.As she pondered about it, she sneered.Rosalie and Byron spotted that.“Why would Gordon frame you? Quit
“So what if it’s me? Do you have proof?”Violet sneered smugly, not intending to lie anymore.After Rosalie attacked her, her anger grew and she had no place to vent it.Only by looking at Rosalie getting angry could she ease the rage in her.They could hurt her again, but she knew Rosalie would not dare to kill her.She lifted her eyebrows. Sensing that she could move her arms, she wiped her face and slowly stood up. “Rosalie, your mother has been dead for more than ten years. Can you find any proof now? Even if you know I did it, so what? Hahaha... You can continue to use your needles and make me suffer from the pain. Maybe I'll be healthier after the stimulation.”Rosalie was startled.She had endless rage burning in her like a volcano erupting.At the last moment of her outbreak, she was suffocated by something.No one could be more evil than Violet in words or actions.For the first time, she knew what it felt like to be so angry that her heart ached.She could barely b
Rosalie dragged her weary body back to the manor.Byron brought her a cup of warm water. After getting her to take a sip of water, he brought a mug of hot chocolate for her.“Honey, what you need to do now is to calm down. We need to figure it out together and find enough evidence. By the way, Gordon might have found out something. We’ll go back tomorrow and talk to him to make him recall as many details as possible.”Byron was calm. Now, he had confirmed that his mother-in-law was murdered after being poisoned by Violet. However, he needed witnesses and evidence.“Hubby, we have to file a case first. So, I’ve decided to get a forensic team to examine my mother’s body!”Tears rolled down Rosalie’s cheeks when she suggested this.Her mother was in so much pain before she died. Rosalie did not expect they would have to dig out her body and examine her again after death.Everything was because of Gordon.According to Rosalie’s memory, before the homewrecker managed to replace her
Byron told the housekeeper to calm down and dialed Luther’s number. He ordered Luther to go to Gordon’s place and prepare for the funeral.That night, Rosalie refused to go over. She did not want to see her scumbag father, even for the last time.Byron chatted with his wife all night until it was dawn, and they finally fell asleep.Even after Rosalie dozed off, Byron still gently held her.After a short nap, the couple woke up.After all, many things had to be done.Benedict and Melody learned about Gordon’s death, yet they did not feel sorry or sad about it. They wondered why Gordon would choose to commit suicide. Did he do it out of remorse for his first wife, or was he trying to protect his mistress?“Dad, Mom, we plan to make Gordon’s funeral simple. There’s no need to announce it! We'll bury him tomorrow right after getting all the things done!” Rosalie told them her thoughts.“Alright. Let the kids take a day off from school. They should go and send him off. Gordon was th
The funeral was simple.That night, Rosalie stayed back in the house where the body was. She suddenly felt emotions gushing through her.Now that Gordon had died, she no longer had parents.She felt sadness surging through her as she thought about this.As a doctor, she had seen too many deaths. She tried to restrain her emotions, but she felt too sorry for herself.Byron returned after sending the kids back home.Looking into that man’s gentle gaze dispersed her negative emotions.The two of them sat by the coffin, guarding it. The temperature dropped gradually, and Byron draped two coats over Rosalie’s shoulder.A while later, Benedict and Melody returned and said, “Luther is watching after the kids, and the bodyguards are around. They'll be fine.”Rosalie was grateful for what Byron’s parents had done for her.They came to accompany her even at late hours like this.“Dad, Mom, it’s too cold here. Why don’t you go home? Byron and I can manage it here. Everything will be se
Byron had been accompanying Rosalie all along. He could be there for Rosalie if she was tired.When they got home, the children seemed quiet and came to hug Rosalie.“Mommy, go get some rest. We'll be good and won’t make any noise!” Estelle said as she touched Rosalie’s belly, comforting her twin siblings.Lucian and Nox nodded, promising they would look after Estelle.Rosalie took a nap until it was eight at night. Melody came to call her for dinner.When she went downstairs, there were many people in the living room.The Quirke family was there. Andrius was with his father and mother.Lucas, Jonah, and Tamsine from the Montgomery family were also there.Even Mary and Camelia were in the living room.The ladies approached Rosalie once they saw her and expressed their condolences.“Rosie, did you sleep well? Your eyes are puffy. Quickly eat something. I brought some nutritious food for you. You should eat some to replenish your nutrition!” Clara was anxious and concerned.Ta
