Chapter 324 A Exposed Secret
"Grandma." Hearing that, Essie lowered her head. She knew that Alena and Abel had come to try to hook them up again. However, their marriage was cut off and they would not go back to be together again.
"I know that you're still upset about the child. We're indeed responsible for this matter. We shouldn't indulge that evil woman too much." Alena sighed. "Your aunt Bonney is right. That child is a troublemaker. A family won't be peaceful wherever she goes."
"Grandma, let bygones be bygones. I don't worry about them," Essie shook her head in denial. She didn't want to talk about what had happened between her and Zac at all.
"Then come back as soon as possible. If there is anything wrong with Zac, I will teach him a lesson for you." Said Alena. It was a happy marriage between her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and she didn't want to just break it up.
"There are still a lot of things in the Xu's Group, so I didn't think too much about what I should do. I don't want to consider it until my father wakes up." Essie said in a low voice. Essie didn't want to say anything to make them sad or disappointed. Alena and Abel treated her so well.
"The affairs of the Xu family are too complicated. Don't take it all by yourself. Let Zac help you." Alena took hold of her grandson's hand and placed it on the hand of Essie. And Essie didn't break free for that woman. Instead, she nodded obediently.
"As the new year is coming, please come back to have a family reunion dinner with Zac." Said Abel.
"Okay, Grandpa." "Uh huh." Essie said obediently. Alena and Abel looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Mary was peeping at the side hall, feeling very upset. After dinner, she secretly called Essie to the room and wanted to talk with her alone.
"Grandpa and grandma were old-fashioned, so they hope you can remarry each other. But since you have divorced, it means that you are not suitable for each other. It's better for you to look for a new partner." She said slowly but in a sharp tone.
Hearing this, Essie smiled and said, "Why don't you want me to come back? Is it because you dislike me or you are afraid of me?"
Mary paused, "I'm afraid of you. What am I afraid of?"
"You know it better than anyone else." Essie sneered.
Mary was shocked. Her face was pale. Did Essie already know what had happened at that time?
"I don't know what you are talking about." Mary pretended to be calm.
The corners of Essie's mouth lifted into a mocking smile. "The day has eyes, the night has ears. Maybe your son is to pay his debt for you. But I don't accept it. Some debt can be paid off, while others can't forever. "
"I don't owe you or your mother anything. She asked for it." Mary could no longer control her emotions. She jumped up from the chair.
"God is watching. One day, you'll pay for what you have done." finishing her words, Essie walked out of the room. Mary slumped into the chair. A chill rose from her feet and quickly spr
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ible, impossible!
Zac sighed, "I knew Cathy since she was born. I still remembered she was in the cradle, pink and lovely, like a doll. Maybe I fell in love with her a long time ago, but I didn't know. " He said to Leila. Maybe it was because that he thought Cathy was different with other women in his heart, so he had the hidden disease and didn't want to touch other women.
"No, she was only seven years old when she left. How could you have feelings for each other?" Leila retorted harshly.
"But I'm already twelve years old." Zac shrugged. He was well aware of love at that time. Besides, his grandfather arranged a marriage for him. His feelings for Cathy changed subtly.
Leila was on the verge of breaking down. She had thought that he would be happy and excited when he heard the news, and that he would have a feeling that all sufferings had their reward like her. But she did not expect that he would refuse her without hesitation.
It was all because of Essie. He wouldn't have cared for her if Essie wasn't Cathy. Although Cathy was only seven years old, she enjoyed great popularity in Dragon City. Everyone called her a genius. Every rich family in Dragon City had the rule of discussing marriage from childhood. They would become more powerful if they cooperated with each other forcefully. The Jing family, the Rong family, and even the Qin family all came to propose a marriage. At last, the Xu family chose the most powerful Rong family.
"Zac, let's start over. If you don't love me anymore, I will give up on you. Okay?"
"Leila." He pushed her away, "don't waste time on me. I don't love anyone else."
"Zac!" She cried. She was not reconciled! She was not reconciled at all! If she could know her origin earlier, it was impossible for Essie to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to him.
"I'm sorry, Leila." Zac said apologetically.
"You will love me if there is no Essie in your life, right?" Raising her eyes, Leila asked bitterly.
