“I’m really sorry, are you alright?”

Seeing the other’s drunken state, Rosalie was vigilant as she apologized repeatedly in a way that she was hoping to avoid trouble if possible.

Saying that, the person in front of her started smiling maliciously suddenly instead. His voice was a little erratic, “Hey beautiful…I’m just fine. You’d know if you joined me for a few drinks! Make me happy and I won’t nitpick on you today!”

Rosalie frowned slightly. Aware the man in front of her was obviously drunk and being unreasonable, she did not intend to pay any more attention to him. She lowered her head and thought of bypassing him from his side.

The drunk's voice sounded again the moment she reached his side. "Don't go, beautiful! I’m very rich. If you agree to come with me, I’ll make sure you have the time of your life forever!"

He chortled lecherously twice as he said this and his eyes roamed Rosalie’s body unscrupulously.

The beautiful woman in front of him had a delicate and beautiful face and a curvaceous body. Her skin was fair and dazzling under the light, looking like it would feel good if he copped a feel!

The drunkard felt an insatiable itch, he wanted to caress the beautiful woman's face and have a feel.

Seeing him reach his hand out, Rosalie’s expression chilled slightly. She then stepped back and kicked the man in the stomach.

Since it was the first day of her reporting at the research institute today, she was dressed formally and wore a pair of thin high heels on her feet. With one leg flying, the force from that was not light.

The man had drunk too much. He had not been that stable on his feet to begin with and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. When he came to his sense, he had already been landed a solid kick. His face turned white. He clutched his stomach and shook twice before falling to the ground.

"B*tch, you shameless little. You should be honored that I took a liking to you, yet you dare to kick me!"

After shuffling about on the ground for a long time, the man gritted his teeth and raised his head. His eyes were blood-red.

Rosalie glanced at him with disgust and tried to go around him from the side.

The man suddenly yelled toward a corner, "Somebody! This b*tch had dared attack me. Take her into the booth! I want to see how she's going to cross me tonight!"

After he said that, two large bodyguards rushed out from the corner. Noting the man’s mess of an appearance, the bodyguards hesitated, "Master..."

"Don’t mind me! Get her!"

The man shouted angrily.

They immediately walked toward Rosalie.

Hearing footsteps approaching her from behind, Rosalie tensed. She shoved her hand into her bag and grabbed a powder pack tightly.

If these people dared approach her again, she would give them a taste of this drug!

Just when she turned around with the medicine bag, one of her bodyguards who had been just about to lay his hand on her suddenly screamed and flew past her.

In the next second, the other disappeared from in front of her in the same manner.

Rosalie was stunned. Then she realized that there seemed to be more people behind her.

She turned and looked over and saw a slender figure standing a few steps away.

Rosalie’s heart tightened, she felt her head splitting from panic and instinctively turned to run.

Byron’s expression was dark. He was dressed in a tailored shirt and a pair of pants, and his sleeves had been rolled up to his forearms. The buttons at his collar had also been unfastened. He looked at the woman in front of him, eyes gleaming.

He had been halfway through a business dinner when he felt bored in the booth and decided to come out for air.

He absolutely did not expect that he would bump into this woman.

Rosalie Jacobs!

It really was her!

His gaze deepened. Just as he was about to say something, he noted that the woman was about to run.

Byron’s brows furrowed tightly, and he shot forward and clenched her arm.

Rosalie’s own heart was beating in her ears. She did not even know when he had caught up to her. Caught off guard, she was frozen where she was, her mind a sea of chaos.

“Rosalie Jacobs!”

The man's voice, mingled with his concealed anger sounded in her ear. "Where else are you going to hide?"

Rosalie returned to her senses at this and subconsciously struggled for a bit.

Feeling her movements, the man increased the force in his hand.

“Unhand me!”

She gave up on struggling, steeling herself to turn back around as she met the man’s gaze through gritted teeth.

“Unhand?”

Byron’s voice had practically seeped through the crevices of his teeth. His dark eyes fixed dead-set on the face in front of him.

He had not seen her for six years, there was a bit more of a mature charm to this face, it was still as good-looking as ever.

However, it was lacking the obedience and gentleness from his memory. It also lacked the submissiveness it once had for him. On the contrary, it was a bit more imposing and fiercer.

There was even some distance in her gaze!

Realizing this, Byron was enraged. He looked at Rosalie's eyes coldly and enunciated each word, "Do you think I’d let you get away again?"

Rosalie suddenly trembled, she wanted to say something, but Byron did not give her the opportunity at all. His voice was eerie as he instructed Luther behind him, "Deal with these b*stards!"

With that, before Rosalie could even respond, he immediately yanked her arm and strode into a booth at the side.

Rosalie realized that the situation was bad, but she could not get away no matter how she struggled. She stumbled as she was dragged away by him.

    Estie obediently stretched out her injured hand for him to look.Bryon frowned slightly when he saw the injury on her hand. “How did this happen? Did the kids bully you?”Estie was stunned for a moment but then she forcefully shook her head. She was not bullied?Byron did not understand. “Then what happened?”Estie picked up the drawing pen again and wrote stroke by stroke into the small notebook. She wrote a few letters.S-L-I-P-E-DAfter she wrote that, she tilted her head, feeling somewhat lacking in confidence.The word was too hard to spell.Whenever she comes across a word that she did not know how to spell, she would usually make an educated guess from how it sounded or skip it entirely.She did not come across this word often and did not know if she had spelled it correctly."You slipped?”Byron looked at the letters and confirmed with her.Estie nodded.Byron let out a sigh of relief as he touched the area of the injury. “Did the teacher give you any treatment f

    After the little ones went upstairs, the smile instantly fell from Rosalie’s face."What's the matter? What's on your mind?"Mary switched off the television and came to worry over her.After a moment's hesitation, Rosalie explained what happened tonight in a brief manner. "I met Byron at dinner just now."She could not talk to anyone about what happened six years ago except for Mary.Hearing this, Mary was stunned for a moment. She could not help but sigh. "Just what kind of ill-fated relationship do you guys have... Coast City is huge and here I was thinking if you don’t take the first step to go looking for him, the possibility of a meeting would be almost zero."Rosalie lowered her gaze, she seemed to be thinking of something."So, what are your thoughts now after meeting him?" Mary asked."What can I think? We already ended six years ago, now we’re just two strangers. I won't be influenced by him anymore. I just want to take good care of Lucian and Nox and live a good life

    Looking at Estie being fetched away by the teacher, Byron looked away and instructed Luther, "Let's go."Luther nodded and drove to Lawrence Corporation.After arriving at the company, Byron attended multiple high-level meetings consecutively.When the meetings were over, more than an hour had passed. Byron went straight back to the office."Byron, you’re back."He heard Wendy's voice the moment he entered the room.Hearing that, Byron frowned slightly.Wendy, dressed in a small black suit, was standing at his desk with a smile. She looked like she had been waiting inside for a while."When did you arrive?”Byron strode to his desk. He glanced at the documents on the desk before finally looking at Wendy's face.Watching him take a seat, Wendy also sat down with him, smiling gently. "I just arrived a little while ago, Luther said you had gone to a meeting."Saying that, she suddenly noticed the scab at the corner of Byron's mouth, and her heart constricted. "Your mouth...di

    Byron ignored Wendy's response after he said that.The reason why he decided to marry Wendy at the beginning was just to repay her grandfather's saving grace.This was the reason why he had gotten close with the Fuller family. Hence, when the elders had proposed that he marry Wendy, he had accepted it noncommittally.He had even thought that Wendy was the woman of his dreams.After learning that woman had left without saying goodbye six years ago, he then realized that his feelings for Wendy was not the love he had imagined.The elders from both families had urged him multiple times to complete the marriage procedures as soon as possible after that, but he had made excuses and shelved them.He had also done everything possible to ease the life of the Fuller family over the past six years.

    Rosalie was stunned.The Fullers?From her understanding, there was only one family in the medicine business in Coast City with the Fuller surname.And she happened to have a history with that family.Thinking of this, Rosalie frowned slightly.

Don't try to slander me!" She nervously argued.As everyone knows, she had fallen into Rosalie’s verbal trap."You haven't done it? Didn't you ask Ethan to help you poison Mama? It's mercury. Just a little bit could affect my mother slowly. Just two or three times a month is enough. The long-term accumulation of toxins was enough to shorten my mother's life to a few years. Ethan was so young then and you are willing to use him. Aren’t you afraid that he would accidentally ingest it?"Rosalie's angry face and hateful eyes made Violet look away in fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Violet, you still insist on arguing until now. I really couldn't do anything about you a few days ago. However, I can come to you now, which means that I have enough evidence to prove that you used your good son Eth

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.

    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
