"Don't always accuse my mom of the commission. The whole thing was planned by the lawyer and it
had nothing to do with my mother." Explained Valery.
"Even if the lawyer played tricks on it, nobody would doubt her if aunt Elizabeth could take the initiative
to leave the position to elder brother instead of herself." Essie sneered.
"Vinton is naughty. I'm afraid that he can't take up such a heavy task of the Xu's Group, so I want to
help him run it first." Elizabeth gave Essie a stern look and didn't notice that another man was staring at
her.
Noticing what was going on, Essie walked up to Vinton and patted on his shoulder. "Auntie, you're
wrong. Vinton has been trying his best to get things done. Now the personnel and Resources
Department of Hengyuan is well managed. After the new year, I'm going to ask him to manage the Xu's
Group together with me. After he gained rich business experience, he could be a capable assistant of
Mr. Baron when he wakes up. "
Hearing what Essie said, Vinton was very happy. He smiled at her and turned to Elizabeth. "Well,
mommy, since daddy let sister take over the Xu's Group, it means that he trusts her. As a member of
the Xu family, we should help her rather than go against her. We shouldn't have done anything harmful
to our family's interests by competing against her secretly. Now, it is the most difficult time for the Xu
family. We have to unite as one. Otherwise, those who have ulterior motives will easily seize the
opportunity. "
Vicki looked at him with a knowing smile on her face. Her grandson had finally grown up.
Eric took a sip of tea and said, "I am in the army base and Calvin is abroad most of our time, and we
know nothing about business. The only thing we can do is to respect our elder brother and support
Cathy. I'm a soldier. In a word, whether it's a son or a daughter, the Xu family can only be run by
someone within the blood of the Xu family. If a outsider dares to fight for it, I will shoot him! "
Obviously, his words were cheering for Essie. A cold shiver ran down Elizabeth's spine.
Essie walked up to him, raised her hands and made a military salute like a soldier, "Colonel, you are
awesome!"
Uncle Eric smiled and said, "this little ghost is as clever as it was in her childhood."
After dinner, she took Holy to the garden to have a chat with her cousins.
"What's wrong with the elder cousin? It has been a long time and there is still no news." Said Angel
sadly.
"We've sent a company's salvage and diving men to look for river courses for more than a month, but
there's no body found. I believe sister is still alive." Said Essie.
"She used to be the most beautiful officer in the special force, and no one could defeat her. Our special
forces often carry out all kinds of training in the river, so it's not difficult for her to escape in the water. "
Carl analyzed.
"God bless her. She must be fine. Maybe sister will come back the day dad wakes up. " Holy believed
that a miracle would definitely appear on Alice.
"The most hateful thing is that the bastard who wanted to kill Alice died. Otherwise, I will have to twist
his head off and throw him into the mountains to feed the wild dogs." Carl clenched his fists.
Essie sneered in her mind. The one who died was only a scapegoat, and the real murderer was still
beyond the law. However, she would find it out and make sure that this bastard would receive the
punishment he deserved.
"I think there must be some people who want to be the Empress Wu? She was so cold blood and don't
even care about her relatives. It's normal that she kill her own sons and daughters. " After hearing this,
Angel pouted and turned to look at Vinton, saying, "cousin, you should be careful."
A gleam of coldness flashed in Vinton's eyes. Everyone knew that Elizabeth's intention was so obvious
that even Angel could see it.
Carl shook his hand and said, "it's impossible for her to be the Empress Wu. But she still have a
chance to be the empress. The most important thing is that our cousin can deal with it. We can't let the
empress take full control of it."
"Don't think you're stronger than me even though you're the captain of the special forces. When I'm
strong, I can kick others our like the leaves are blown by the autumn wind. But you didn't see it." Said
Vinton angrily.
Carl smiled and said, "you'd better tell me about your affair with Eva. I'm her fan."
Vinton coughed slightly and cast another glance at Essie secretly. Since Essie was the best friend of
Eva, it was impossible for him to cook up a story.
How could not Essie read his mind? She smiled and said deliberately, "It seemed that Eva would
become our sister-in-law before long ."
Vinton was quite fond of that, but not for the person who were eavesdropping not far away.
"You are so smart, aren't you? You set up a honey trap and let your bestie stay with my brother. All you
want is to take control of him, right?" Valery came over and said to Essie angrily.
With no response, Essie picked up the teacup on the table and slowly drank the tea. She had been
waiting for the moment that Valery would irritate Vinton.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Something flashed through Vinton's eyes, and he said with a frown,
"what's going on between Eva and me has nothing to do with Cathy."
"If you weren't knocked out by Peter, how would you defend this outsider against Mommy?" Valery
almost roared to Vinton in fury. How could his brother be fooled by Essie with a little star? That's
insane!
"I focus the issues, not the people. And I will help you if you are right." Leaning against the back of his
seat, Vinton looked at Valery coldly and said, "sis, I know you're mad at Cathy because of what
happened between you and Zac. But even without Cathy, Zac won't be with you. You're too stubborn."
"Vinton, you are really fascinated by that little star. You can't even distinguish who is your enemy and
who is your family." Then Valery patted hard on his head. Valery's action irritated Vinton and he
immediately jumped up in anger and said, "Valery, I hate being slapped on my head. Don't try to teach
me a lesson just because you are my sister. I know more clearly than you about the whole thing. I can
tell the right and wrong."
Carl cast a sidelong glance at Valery and said, "cousin, you are wrong. We are family, we have no
enemies."
"Shut up!" yelled Valery. She glared at Carl and added, "this is our family affair. You'd better keep your
mouth shut."
"What's wrong with you?" Carl furrowed his eyebrows and really wanted to slap her across the face
right now. But he didn't beat women or his family, so he endured it.
"I guess she's having a mental disease. Forget it. Let's go and play table tennis." After Vinton finished
his words, they all stood up and walked towards the activities room, leaving Valery alone in the pavilion.
Valery clenched her fists, her face twisting in fury. She thought that she couldn't deal with Essie, but
she could deal with the little star, Eva.
After dinner, Essie and Holy went back to the villa. Essie wanted to spend the new year with her son
and daughter, but some guy sent three messages to her, urging her to go back home. If she didn't
reply, he might fly to her and take her away. If he saw Mili and Dot, he would take them away too.
She sighed, lowered her head and went out.
In the Rong Mansion, Zac was lying on the big sofa and playing Essie's customized Barbie doll.
The doll looked exactly like the little fool. He should have thrown it into the trash can without mercy.
How could he allow it to lie in his safe? Fantastic! He must have been out of his mind years ago.
Hearing the familiar steps, Zac put the doll in the safe immediately and started to play his iPad.
Essie walked into the bedroom, took a glance at him, but said nothing. She went into the bathroom and
took a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she sat next to him and asked, "it's new year's
holiday. Why are you so hurried to ask me here?"
"How do you know that I was in such a hurry?" He slowly asked back.
"Three messages in a row." She pouted and thought that it must be emergency that he sent her
messages for three times.
But the man just spoke out four words leisurely, "I didn't mean that."
Essie's face turned a little red for a second and soon returned to normal. She raised her eyebrows
slightly and said, "what if I don't come?"
"It's Okay." He shrugged. His tone was as light as a goose feather. Seeing that Essie breathed a sigh of
relief, he opened his mouth again and said in a plain tone, "If you are late for one hour, I'll punish you
for one more time, and so on."
What an obvious threat.
Essie shivered. She knew that this cold-blooded demon would not let her go so easily. Fortunately, she
was quick witted and arrived in time. Otherwise, she would be in trouble.
She lay on the sofa, put her head on his laps as a pillow. "I've been exhausted after working the whole
day in the Xu family. Can I go to bed early?"
Zac looked at her with mixed feelings and said, "I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"Loren is missing."
"No wonder Bles didn't come to visit her grandma. It turned out that he went to the United States to
hide Loren." Essie snorted.
Caressing her cheek gently, Zac said teasingly, "don't worry. Even if he hides him to the ends of the
earth, I can find him out."
She smiled, "I've never worried about it with you."
"Really?" Zac raised his thick eyebrows slightly. "Are you worried that if I'm unhappy one day, I will
divorce you?"
"Don't worry." Essie said in a casual tone, "although you've forgotten me, you know it clearly in your
heart. That's enough."
Zac's face darkened. What a stupid woman! No woman on the earth could control him, unless he was
willing to.
"Maybe my hidden disease have recovered now." He gave a grim smile.
Essie was shocked and asked, "have you tried with other women?"
