The wedding was an exhausting affair for Andrius and Mary.The newlyweds complained endlessly. They never expected to be so tired.Fortunately, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Andrius pulled Mary in for a passionate kiss after exchanging rings. The wedding ceremony ended successfully."Wow, I never thought Andrius could be so sensual! I guess I was too reserved at the beginning!" Byron looked at his wife with an ambiguous smile.In Rosalie's eyes, she felt that the moment the couple hugged and kissed was so beautiful.She turned around and was pulled into her husband’s embrace, who could not help kissing her passionately too.Fortunately, they were watching the newlywed kiss from a spot backstage. There were not many people around.Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to still behave like lovesick teens considering they were a long-time married couple.When the banquet started, Byron and Rosalie originally planned to stay for the whole event. However, Detective Carter called
In a villa in the suburbs.Violet was fidgeting all over. She held the phone in her hand, checking the clock from time to time.Ethan was lying flat on the sofa. His arms were motionless because of the plaster casts. He was just like a disabled person.He hated Byron so much. ‘Of all the things that wretched man could do, he broke my arms. Now, I can't even play poker or go on my mobile phone.’Ethan murmured disapprovingly at his anxious mother. "Mom, aren't you worrying a little too much? You were unshakeable like a mountain while you were in the police station. Why are you so scared now that you've been released?""What do you know? I'm really worried. Rosalie's wretched mother left behind evidence of our crimes in her heirloom."Violet gave her son a vicious look.Ethan was slightly startled, but then said coldly, "What evidence? What does it have to do with me?! I don't remember whether I was involved or not. You poisoned Rosalie's mother yourself."Violet listened to how
Violet entertained the four private detectives with delicious food and drinks. Then, she went up to the second floor with Sophie for a detailed discussion.Sophie gritted her teeth angrily when she saw her brother in such a mess."Rosalie is going to drive us all to death, but don't forget, even rabbits bite when they're cornered. If we can't survive this, we'll put her three children up for slaughter!" Violet's eyes flickered with sinister coldness.From Violet's tone, Sophie could understand that her mother was worried."The best way now is to find a way to leave Coast City. Once we arrive at Crystal Wharf, we can consider going abroad," Sophie's original plan was to find a way to get Rosalie's mother's heirloom, but this was impossible from the way things were now."However, if you think about it, the police must be watching me now. It won't be that easy to leave Coast City," Violet looked worried.Sophie nodded. Suddenly, she thought of a plan, and a small smile appeared on t
"Mom, the vehicle that just got out must have been followed. With Byron's powerful influence in Coast City, we may even have difficulty leaving the villa now," Sophie stood by the window and gently opened the curtains with her fingers to reveal a little gap. She observed the surroundings.Outside was eerily quiet.Sophie expected many eyes to be surveilling them around the villa.First, she asked two private detectives to drive out with the goal of approaching the Jacobs old home. Her intention was not to find the heirloom but to disrupt Byron's arrangement.Immediately afterwards, she picked up her mobile phone and said, "You can go too!"In the courtyard of the villa, the lights of another car were turned on. This car belonged to Ethan, and there were two other private detectives sitting in it. The destination of their trip was the airport.Sophie believed that Byron had predicted the destination of the two cars and it was the focus of their surveillance.Sure enough, not long
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
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
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
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
