"Who?" Essie asked.
Zac picked up the fresh pineapple juice on the table and took a sip. Then he said the name unhurriedly,
"Mrs. Vicki."
Hearing that, Essie's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't she think of Vicki? She loved Vinton the most. As long
as she asked, they couldn't get married. However, Elizabeth had just saved Vicki. Vinton still had to
work hard to persuade her.
On the second day, Vinton went to the film set to visit Eva.
Seeing him, Eva finally calmed down after struggling for several days.
"Vinton, are you not angry with me?" She walked to him and asked in a low voice.
"I was too reckless." Vinton held her shoulder and looked at her sincerely, full of tenderness. "Eva, I will
wait for you. I will wait until you are really willing to accept me and fall in love with me. You should also
have some confidence in me and don't doubt my sincerity, okay? "
"Okay." Eva kept nodding. She was so happy that Vinton was still with her.
Not far away, Jim stared at them with deep and intriguing eyes. It was said that there was a trap for a
carrot. It seemed that the spicy degree of heaven pepper dropped sharply when she was with Vinton.
Should Vinton be suitable for her?
"Uncle, aunt to be." Mili ran towards them. Vinton was pleased to hear Mili call Eva aunt to be.
"Honey, you usually call her mommy Eva. Why do you call her aunt to be now?" He asked deliberately.
"Mommy Eva said I should call her aunt to be when we were outside, and call her mommy Eva when
we were at home. Anyway, you are going to get married in the future. She is my aunt to be. " Mili said
seriously.
Eva was choked by her words and couldn't help but feel two waves of heat on her face. She had
planned to disassociate herself from Jim, so she asked Mili to change the address. It seemed that she
was going to make Vinton misunderstand her again.
Vinton's handsome face was beaming with joy. It seemed that what Essie said was right. It was not that
Eva didn't have feelings for him, but that she was afraid of marriage because of the shadow of
childhood.
"Honey, why don't you just call her aunt to be wherever you are?"
"Okay, uncle Vinton. You should try your best to marry my aunt to be as soon as possible so that I can
just call her aunt. Mili nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Vinton smiled and stroked her little head.
Seeing Vinton reconcile with Eva, Essie was very happy. She knew what she said yesterday would
work.
After Mili finished her work this week, Essie took her back to Dragon City. There were still a lot of things
to deal with in the company.
As soon as she entered the office, Alice came over. She looked very serious and seemed to have
something important to tell her.
"I think of something in the past recently." She said in a low voice.
Hearing that, Essie was a little stunned. With excitement in her eyes, she asked, "really?"
"I remember that I went to see Zac after I received the news of my father's accident."
"Were you all in C City at that time?" Essie asked, shocked.
"Yes." "We just attended the development and mourning ceremony of the Perfect World together. When
I received the call from Dragon City, I felt something was wrong. I hoped that Zac could help me and
the Xu Group get through the difficulties, but... "
"But what?" The corners of Essie's mouth twitched slightly.
"He refused. He said that he had nothing to do with the Xu Group and he didn't want to get involved."
Although Alice's voice was very low, it was very clear. When she spoke, a strange light quietly flashed
through her eyes.
"Why?" Essie was shocked.
"I really can't remember exactly what he said, but you can ask Malcolm. Isn't he my assistant? I trust
him very much and won't avoid him in anything. He must be the most clear person about the situation
at that time." Said Alice.
Essie called Malcolm in a hurry. She wanted to know why Zac refused to help her sister. The Xu family
and the Rong family were partners. If something happened to the Xu family, it would do no good to
them.
It seemed that Malcolm didn't want to talk about the past anymore. He just said lightly, "it's all in the
past. Now that the Xu Group has passed the crisis, we don't need to mention it anymore."
"You were there too, weren't you?" Looking at him without a blink, Essie insisted.
He didn't answer, which meant he acquiesced.
"Malcolm, I just want to know the truth. Don't hide it from me, okay?" Said Essie in a pleading tone.
Malcolm sighed. "Mr. Zac didn't say that he wouldn't help Miss Alice. He just asked Miss Alice to tell
him where you were, but Miss Alice refused, so..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Alice. "It's just an excuse. In fact, he has
already had the ambition to annex our Xu Group." As she spoke, she threw out a pile of documents on
the desk of Essie. "I've already asked someone to investigate Mr. Gold. He is a member of Zac. In
other words, the major shareholder who really owns twenty percent of the shares of our Xu Group is
not Mr. Gold, but Zac!"
It seemed that Essie was hit by a thunderbolt. She shook violently, picked up the documents on the
table and read them carefully. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Why did he do that?"
"If my guess is right, he has already known Willi, and he also knows that Willi colluded with Elizabeth
and uncle Bles to usurp the throne. He didn't take any action on purpose, just in order to take
advantage of the chaos to annex the Xu Group. " Said Alice angrily.
It was hard for Essie to believe that Zac had hidden himself so deeply. He was like a snake king hiding
in the deepest part of the forest, waiting for the most lethal blow to his opponent all the time.
"Did you tell daddy about it?"
"No, daddy is too kind. He doesn't even believe that aunt Elizabeth and uncle Bles conspired with each
other. How could he believe that his son-in-law has such thoughts?" Alice shrugged and said, "the
reason why I tell you this is that I want you to be on guard against him. He is too powerful to be
exposed. You can't trust him too much, or you won't know if he betrays you."
There was a heavy cloud in Essie's dark eyes. "I will definitely ask him about it."
At dusk, the sky was overcast, and thick haze was floating in the air. The rolling mountains in the
distance were only blurred.
As soon as Essie returned to the Blue Coast, she opened the window. The warm wind blew in, like a
pair of powerful hands covering her face and strangling her neck, making her out of breath.
After a while, it began to rain. Thin raindrops, like dust in haze, floated in the air.
The distant mountains, dense forest and buildings were all submerged in the large net of rain and mist
and twilight, leaving only blurry shadows.
When Zac came in, she didn't turn on the light. She stood quietly in front of the window like a faint
shadow.
"Your hair is wet." He gently stroked her hair and pulled her into his warm arms. Then he closed the
window, blocking the wind and rain.
At this moment, her heart was like a horse galloping and trampling, and it was difficult to calm down.
The man who once gave her protection and support, and who she thought she could trust
unconditionally, suddenly became so strange, which made her a little scared.
"Zac, may I ask you something?" Her voice was as soft as silk, as if she was holding her breath.
"What?" He put his head on her shoulder and gently leaned against her with his chin.
She swallowed and said slowly, "did my sister come to you after Mr. Baron's accident?"
Zac trembled slightly, but she still had a keen sense. He straightened up, grabbed her shoulders and
turned her around to face him. "What did Alice say to you? Has she regained her memory? "
She raised her head and looked at him intently, with a touch of doubt in her eyes. "Aren't the Rong
family and the Xu family partners? Why didn't you help her? Why did you just stand by and watch her in
trouble? "
A malicious and cold light flashed through Zac's eyes. "Why should I help her? If it weren't for her, can
you escape to America? Without her, can you hide in America for three years without any news? If it
weren't for her, I should have known that I was a father."
His breath was heavy, like a slap in the face, making her face burning. "You know everything?"
"I've been looking for you for the past three years, but she didn't mention a word even though she knew
it clearly." His expression suddenly became so serious and fierce. Her escape had always been an
indelible scar in his heart.
"Even if you are unwilling to help my sister, why did you take the opportunity to buy the shares of Xu
Group? Is Mr. Gold your man?" She frowned slightly and said in an aggressive tone.
His dark and cold eyes flashed, and his perfect lips were tightly pursed into a straight line. After a while,
he sighed in a low voice, "since you have known, I have nothing to hide. He is indeed my man. In the
past three years, I have been closely monitoring every move of Elizabeth. I have already known her
plan with Bles and Willi. Even if you don't come back, Elizabeth won't be the chairman of the Xu Group.
"
"If I don't come back, will the Xu Group change its surname to Rong?" Essie sneered.
"You are the only one I miss." He admitted frankly. He had always been ruthless and cold. If he wanted
to do something, he had to do it perfectly. According to his original plan, he would give Elizabeth and
the people behind her a fatal blow, leaving them no chance to turn over.
But her return not only messed up his plan completely, but also helped Willi and Elizabeth intangibly,
giving them a chance to live on and have time to make subsequent arrangements.
"I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite!" A mocking and sad smile appeared on Essie's face.
