"Aunt Mary, don't listen to her. She must be lying to you. The baby was born secretly with her and Hanson in America. She said this because she wanted to cover up the fact that she cheated on Zac in America. " Leila hurried to explain, fearing that Mary would believe Essie.

Of course, Mary didn't believe what Essie said. In her eyes, she was a skittish tramp. It was normal for her to do this. But she had to prove it. Since Essie denied all the accusations, she had to wait until she made it clear in private.

"I know. I can tell whether it's black or white." Mary said in her usual soft tone.

Essie didn't want to talk to them anymore and went to the kitchen to cook. Since Zac had lost his memory, his patience had dropped a lot. He was sure to be furious if he saw the stewed beef brisket with radish didn't finished.

Since Mary and Leila wanted to stay for dinner, Essie cooked a few more dishes.

As soon as she heard the sound of door opening, she rushed over, took his slippers from the shoe cabinet and respectfully placed them next to the man's feet.

The man was very satisfied with her politeness. Although he hated her very much, he enjoyed her service, especially in the evening. So he kept her for the moment. He took off his coat and threw the briefcase to her. She went upstairs with it. When she came downstairs, she saw that Zac was talking to Mary. "Mommy, why didn't you call me before you came here with Leila?"

"We are not outsiders. Do I need to make an appointment by phone?" Mary said to Zac, pretending to be angry with him.

"Dinner is ready. Let's eat now. They won't taste good when they are cold." Essie went into the kitchen and prepared dinner for him.

As soon as Zac sat down, she picked up a brisket and handed it to his mouth. "Have a try. Does it taste good?"

Zac was pleased to eat it, but his face was as cold as ice. After swallowing it, he opened his thin lips and said in a light voice, "Not bad."

Hearing that, Essie knew that he was praising her. So with a faint smile on her face, she sat down beside him.

"Mommy, Miss Leila, you came here in a hurry, so I only prepared some home cooking dishes. Hope you don't mind." She said in a very polite tone. Even if she did not like someone, she had to be generous and discreet.

Mary's lips curled into a sinister smile. But there was no smile in her eyes, only coldness and insidiousness. She didn't need to be polite here. Nor did she want to pretend to be friendly to Essie.

"Don't be so formal with us. We are not outsiders."

"Zac has lost his memory now. In his eyes, Miss Essie is like an outsider, isn't she?" Leila took over Mary's words. She said it in a joking tone deliberately, as if she was just joking, but her smile was full of provocation.

"It doesn't matter, he will get familiar with me." With a light smile on her face, Essie said in a peaceful tone. After that, she picked up another brisket and placed it in front of his mouth. "Honey, eat more," she said.

Zac glared at her and opened his mouth reluctantly. It was very obvious that he did not want to cooperate, and

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.

ame so strange and completely another person.

He was a capitalist. His interest was always put in the first place. After he lost his memory, his affection for her disappeared, and all he cared about was his interest.

Now, in his mind, their marriage was nothing more than a political marriage.

While she was thinking, a strong sense of bitterness rose from her chest, turned into tears which slid down her cheeks and dropped into her clothes.

Was that the situation she was in now?

In the future, she should be more careful. She couldn't trust him completely, let alone rely on him without any precautions. From the beginning of mutual use, they might be completely over because of mutual use of each other.

She wiped off her tears and went downstairs as if nothing had happened. Then, she sat down on the sofa, picked up a cup of hot juice, and drank it slowly.

"Haven't Zac and aunt Mary come down yet?" Leila asked.

"They must be talking." Essie replied faintly.

"Are they talking about the divorce?" Leila sneered, making no secret of her provocation.

"Let's be realistic, Miss Leila." The corners of Essie's mouth lifted into a very deep smile. "Do you think that Zac will give up a billionaire like me and marry a worthless nobody like you?"

Leila trembled with fear and asked, "What... What do you mean? "

"He could give up on you for his family before. Now, in his eyes, profit is more important than love." There was a sense of bitterness in her voice. He was no longer the icy guy who used to be so good to her. He was just a business tycoon.

"Don't misunderstand him. You know nothing about him." Leila raised her voice, as if she was irritated by her.

"You grew up in a wealthy family. You are familiar with political marriage, aren't you? The past you can't be with him because of your family feud. Now you are worthless, so you can't be with him as well. You'd better to see it clearly. " There was a touch of sadness in Essie's eyes. She felt sorry for Leila as well as for herself. She was a loser though she defeated Leila.
