"Not sure. Up until now, no one can be sure that there are ghosts in this world, and no one can be sure
that there are no ghosts in this world." Said Essie, shaking her head violently.
"Even if there is, it is just an invisible energy body. Nothing can be done. A living person is much more
terrible than a ghost." Zac said with a mocking smile.
It sounded quite reasonable.
With her head in his arms, Essie didn't say a word, but sped up in silence. No matter what, she still felt
scared in her heart. She thought that it was better for her to leave at once.
On the first day of Chinese New Year, Essie got up early to greet the elders. Essie looked like she
didn't get enough sleep but Zac looked very energetic and refreshed. It seemed that he was very
satisfied with it.
In the hall of the Rong Mansion, after the firecrackers were set to celebrate the new year, Albert, Mary
and other peers went to wish new year to their parents, uncles and aunts. And then, Zac and Essie led
their generation to wish new year to the elders.
Looking at the harmonious and joyful scene of the people in the Rong family, Essie couldn't help but
think of the complicated disputes in the Xu family. Once a family had internal conflict, outsiders would
take advantage of it. At the beginning, Mary's trick was successful because there was an irreconcilable
conflict between Vicki and her mother. Now the person who hid in the darkness and coveted the Xu
family took advantage of the information that Elizabeth and Bles to collude with each other and covet
the family property.
Essie had no idea if she could keep the Xu's Group well or not, because she had thought that the big
tree which she could fully trust and rely on was unreliable. But she couldn't show it out and could only
observe it in secret. Even if he was a scheming tiger, she would still rely on him and rely on his power
to frighten the enemy. Because she had one thing for sure. Even if the tiger wanted to eat her and the
Xu's Group, he had to wait until the enemies hiding in the darkness were killed.
After they wish happy new year to each other, Zac and his grandpa went to the garden to play chess.
Essie decided to go back to her room and have some rest. To her surprise, Rabi dragged her hand and
asked her to play with him.
She forced herself to cheer up and went to the toy house with him.
Mary followed her. She was afraid that Essie would do something to hurt Rabi.
"I've been wondering why Rabi likes you, and now I finally understand that you two are related by
blood." She said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
Essie smiled and said nothing.
"But what I didn't expect is that you would be the one who has the final say in Xu family."
"You think too much. I am just temporarily in charge of the Xu family, and don't let it fall into the hands
of the disloyal people. When Mr. Baron wakes up, he will be back to take charge. " Essie said slowly.
"Don't you have any ambitions?" Mary sneered. Now she had shuffled. Both the core management of
Hengyuan and the manager of the Xu family's villa were replaced by her. Isn't this the first step of
politics?
"I'm the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, and the future hostess here. My main responsibility is to
win over the Rong family. After Mr. Baron recovers, I will come back and help you run the Rong
Mansion together. " Essie said lightly on purpose, as if she was talking about an insignificant chess
game.
"As long as I'm alive, you're not in charge of the matters of the Rong family," said Mary in a cold tone.
Another faint smile appeared on Essie's face. She didn't say anything, because she had expected that
Mary would say such words. Mary was afraid that her power would be shaken by Essie.
"Then please don't interfere with the matter of the Xu family, lest unnecessary suspicion come." She
changed the subject immediately. She already knew about the meeting between Elizabeth and her.
Needless to say, they were going to collude with each other again.
"You can do whatever you want in the Xu family. But don't get Zac involved. He was shot for you. You
should stop harming him." Mary snapped.
"He helped me not only for me, but also for the sake of Rong family. That Xu family was handled by me
is more advantageous than that by others." Essie replied unhurriedly.
"I can't see what does it do to the Rong family," Mary snorted. Business interest was what a man
should consider. She only knew that it was best for herself to get rid of this tramp.
"You married a successful businessman when you were still a college student. You are responsible for
your family and children's education. You have no idea of business. It's common for you to have a bad
taste in business." A hint of mockery appeared on Essie's face.
Mary's face darkened slightly. She could tell that Essie was satirizing her for her lack of sight, but she
didn't care much about it. The reason why Luce came here must be to help her daughter declare war
on her and Elizabeth. She couldn't sit still and wait for death.
"I care about my son's happiness. You are not fit to be his wife."
"If I am fit or not, only Zac can tell. How could you know that?" Essie sneered at her. What Mary did
was not for Zac but for her own interests.
"I have eaten more food than you do. I don't think you're right. You were just blinded by the so-called
love, and you'll know over time that you're not meant for each other." Mary said in a very positive tone.
She insisted that the daughter-in-law who was not accepted by her was not suitable for her son.
"The only place that I am not suitable for Zac is that I am the daughter of Luce." She didn't want to beat
around the Bush anymore, and she said word by word.
Mary's face turned pale. She was not sure how much Luce and Essie knew about what had happened
in the past. But in any case, she couldn't let Albert know. He would not spare her.
"I have no grudge against your mother. She has nothing to do with me,"
"Really?" Raising her eyebrows, Essie continued, "Elizabeth has told me everything that what you did
together."
Her face turned pale in an instant. "How... How could she tell you? "
"She wants me to hate Zac and leave him. But unfortunately, I've made a mistake. On the contrary, I
want to live with him for my entire life. I hate to do anything that will satisfy my enemies." Essie slowly
told her. Elizabeth wanted to ally with Mary to deal with Essie, so Essie tried to take them apart.
Mary swallowed hard to calm herself down. She was a woman who had experienced a lot of occasions.
She couldn't lose her head over such a trifle.
"Since you know that she wants to separate you and Zac, you should know that she is talking
nonsense. Even though I have a good relationship with Elizabeth, I can't help her to do something I
shouldn't do. " She said seriously.
"As long as you have a clear conscience." Essie sneered.
"Of course I have a clear conscience." Without a blush or a beat of her heart, she tried to keep calm so
as not to be noticed by Essie.
Hearing that, Essie sniffed and smiled. She dared not to admit what she had done. It was a miracle for
such a woman to have an outstanding son like Zac.
Rabi ran to the sofa and asked Essie to build blocks together. Then, Essie ignored Mary and sat at the
table.
In the afternoon, Essie went back home. She had to make some arrangements in advance because
Zac would come to visit her on the second day of Spring Festival.
Eva didn't return to Jiang City, but took his mother to Dragon City to celebrate the new year together.
She decided to ask Pana to take Mili and Dot to her house for a day. Then she had to persuade her
mother. They'd better be friendly at the new year and not cause any trouble.
"Mom, do you know that now Elizabeth and Mary have allied to separate me from Zac. Without the
support of Zac, it would be easy for Elizabeth to get rid of me and occupy the Xu family. "
"The Xu family has already been torn into pieces by them. Why can't they stop?"
"In the beginning, she tried every means to seek the position was to get the power of Xu family. How
could she give it up if she couldn't get it?" Essie told her mother.
Bob held Lucy's hands and said, "it's a special period now. You must try your best to put up with it and
treat Zac kindly tomorrow. He has lost his memory now. His relationship with Essie can't be as close as
before. We can't make more troubles, or Elizabeth and Mary will succeed. "
Lucy nodded slightly. They should solve the problem of Elizabeth and protect her daughter's safety first.
As for the grudge between her and Mary, she would deal with it later.
She held the hands of Essie. "You have to promise me that as soon as this matter is over, you will
divorce Zac and marry Hanson."
"Mom, don't worry. I know what to do." In fact, she didn't know how to deal with this matter at all. Her
marriage was just like a tangle of thoughts, which had been lasting and meaningless.
"You won't do anything that makes me sad, will you?" Lucy stared at her without blinking. She wouldn't
be relieved until she got Essie's promise.
"No, I will never do anything that makes you sad." Essie lowered her head and said in a low voice. If
love and filial piety can't be decided at the same time, she could only choose to leave herself sad.
Early the next morning, Zac and Essie went to the villa of Alice with many bags.
"Dad, mom, happy new year." Zac said with a gentle smile on his face. His cool expression was
replaced by a warm one now.
This guy is quite good at acting. Essie thought.
Bob greeted him with a smile and asked him to sit on the sofa. Then Lucy brought tea and fruits to
them.
"Where is Holy?" Zac asked. There was no trace of his "little spy" in the hall.
"I'm here, brother Zac." Holy went downstairs while speaking. He had just talked with his uncle in the
room.
The new year's gift Zac gave him was the newest games console.
"It's so cool. Thank you, brother Zac." Holy said happily.
Zac smiled and stroked his head. This was the reward for him to be a 'little spy'.
