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
It was getting late.Rosalie noticed the two elders were tired and told them to go to bed early.After all, young people could occasionally stay up late, but older people needed more rest. Otherwise, it might disrupt their sleeping schedule.Benedict and Melody nodded and told Rosalie to rest early too.However, Rosalie was unable to sleep. After dealing with her father’s death, she wanted to plan the investigation of her mother’s death.Before long, Luther hurried to the manor.He reported everything he knew after he entered the manor. The villa Violet and her son lived in belonged to Sophie. It was now listed for sale in the real estate company.“They want to flee?” Byron frowned and said coldly, “Purchase the villa and remember to delay the procedure. Pay part of the deposit. As long as they don't get all the money, they'll be reluctant to leave.”Although he could prevent others from buying, they might be able to control the situation better if they were the buyers. By then
Byron took Rosalie to the entrance of the cemetery, so that she did not have to see the process of them digging up her mother's grave.“Honey, don’t worry. These officers are very professional. They just need some bones for the investigation. When they're done investigating, they'll place them back like how they were before. They won’t go missing!” Byron comforted her.Rosalie was not superstitious, but she had something in her mind.“Hubby, can we move my mother’s grave after the investigation? Although I don’t think my dad deserves to be buried with my mom, my mom loved my dad all her life. That’s why she had no regrets. In fact, if she had been willing to give up on him, her life might have turned out differently!”Byron nodded. Moving the grave was fine. This cemetery was small, and it was far from the manor. It might be inconvenient for Rosalie to visit her.After nearly three hours, Detective Carter walked over with a group of police officers.They nodded at Byron and Rosal
Byron was really worried. His wife's mood swings in the past few days had been erratic. She was so angry that she collapsed, recovered after the collapse, then immediately collapsed again. He was worried that this repeated cycle would take a toll on her body.While his wife waited for the news at home, he went to the police station in person to urge progress.Fortunately, the arrest warrant was officially issued. Four police officers went to the suburban villa and soon brought Violet back to the police station.At present, Violet could only be called a suspect. She was ordered to cooperate with the investigation.She could only be detained for only 24 hours.At the police station, there was a lack of fear on Violet’s face. She had a smug sneer when she only saw Byron but not Rosalie."You can’t place any charges on me without any evidence. It’s pointless no matter how you investigate."Violet was so blatantly arrogant that even the police officers were a little irritated. They b
Rosalie's mood calmed down a little.Byron deeply considered Detective Carter's input, so he asked for some details about his mother-in-law before her death.Rosalie tried her best to recall.At that time, she was too young as she was just around five to six years old. Her memory was vague.She only remembered that her mother had been ill for a long time. However, every time she came home from kindergarten, her mother would smile sweetly and cook all kinds of delicious food for her.Her mother adored flowers and had a lot of potted plants, so many flower pots filled the entire yard.As a result, Rosalie felt that her childhood was accompanied by the fragrance of flowers all year round.At that time, Gordon had just started his business and built a small factory. He often went outstation, and when he came back, he always brought back many small souvenirs and snacks from various places for Rosalie.He would also buy her mom a lot of gifts. Each time, it would be either clothes or
In the police station, Detective Carter drank twice as much coffee to refresh himself. Then, he instructed the police officers to take Violet back to the detention room and stop the interrogation.Immediately, Detective Carter called for a discussion with the two police officers who were interrogating her.However, the results were dismal.Violet was so psychologically tough. Her expression was calm no matter what kind of question was asked.Detective Carter had been observing the changes in her pupils during the interrogation.There was still nothing."I have met suspects like this. Due to all the crimes they've committed, all their guilty conscience and morality have been spent. In their subconsciousness, they convince themselves by self-hypnosis, forcibly suppressing the truth by carving an alternate memory in which they're innocent. Therefore, they can act as if they didn't do it when facing interrogation.”Detective Carter taught the two young police officers.Then, he add
This afternoon, Andrea Quirke, Andrius' younger sister, hurried back from the north.Andrius and Mary went to the airport to pick her up.It had been a long time since Andrius saw her. He was somewhat taken aback when he finally saw her.Even Mary, who was merely an acquaintance of Andrea, found that Andrea had lost a lot of weight.However, she did not look haggard. Instead, she looked accomplished and strong.Andrea smiled when she saw Mary. She rushed over and hugged her."Hello, Sister-in-law. Forgive me for coming back so late. I was delayed because my project just happened to be in a critical period!"Mary was stunned as she felt Andrea's tight hug. She was not sure if she should return the hug or not.As Mary’s arms hovered in mid-air for a few seconds, they finally landed on Andrea's back. She patted her back lightly."It's okay. Everyone's very happy that you've come back!" Mary said with a smile.Such a warm hug puzzled Andrius a little.Immediately afterward, her
