As soon as Zac received her phone call, he rushed back. "What happened?"
Biting her lips, Essie told him everything that had happened last night.
Sweat trickled down Zac's forehead. His wife was really infected by the gossip spirit of Ivy. How dare
she get involved in such a bold thing? Did she forget that she was not alone now?
"I didn't want to get involved. I was just worried that they would make trouble, so I followed them to
have a look. And I don't believe there is a ghost in the ghost yard at all. There is no ghost in the world.
But I didn't expect that we really saw something. Sister-in-law seemed to be crazy all of a sudden, as if
she was really haunted by a ferocious ghost. " She said haltingly. She couldn't explain these strange
things.
Zac sighed and put his arm around her shoulder. Now the most important thing is that this muddled fool
and the baby in his belly are safe. He can let go of everything else.
"Listen up, Essie. Don't do anything behind my back anymore. Otherwise, I will lock you up for three
years." His tone was rather warning.
Essie shivered and nodded. She didn't want to touch a tiger's butt.
After coming out of the room, they went to Walt's room. At this time, Walt came back from the company.
To be honest, he didn't care about the life of Leila, but now that they were in the same boat, he didn't
want anything to happen to her. The most important thing was to keep her mouth shut and not let her
reveal her identity crazily.
Lying on the bed, Leila was in a coma and kept talking nonsense.
Seeing this, Zac was slightly shocked. At that time, Jim was also like this. Even the doctor couldn't tell
what kind of illness he had.
Mary was furious. It was a good chance to blame Essie. She wouldn't let it go.
"Essie, you will be the hostess of our family in the future. It's your duty to implement the family rules.
You know that Ivy and your sister-in-law are messing around. You not only didn't stop them, but also
participated in their play. You really disappoint me. If the family is handed over to you in the future, don't
you make a mess? "
Knowing that she was responsible for this matter, Essie didn't explain but said in a low voice, "I'm sorry,
mommy."
"There are national laws and family rules. As the future hostess of the family, you have openly violated
the family rules. I have to punish you severely, or else I can't convince the public." Mary put on an iron
and selfless expression. She would lock Essie in the basement for a few days to frighten her.
"Mommy, Ivy has confessed. It was all sister-in-law's idea. Essie went to see them and worried that
they would make trouble. After all, Essie hasn't taken charge of the family yet. Besides, sister-in-law is
the eldest sister-in-law. She just entered the house not long ago. The reason why Essie didn't stop her
in public is that she didn't want to create any conflict between them in the future. " Zac clearly and
forcefully defended his wife. With him, no one could hurt her, let alone Mary.
Mary's face turned blue. It seemed that her youngest son was blaming her.
But she didn't lose her temper. She tried her best to hold back her anger and said, "Zac, I know you
care about your wife, but she has to follow the rules of the family when she came in. The north yard is a
forbidden area of our family. According to the family rules, anyone who breaks into the forbidden area
will be expelled from our family. I gave her a lenient punishment for the sake of Mili and Dot. She can
be forgiven for a serious crime, but she can't escape a minor crime. " She changed to a helpless tone,
pretending that she didn't want to punish Essie either. She was forced by the family rules and had no
choice.
"All right." Albert shook his hand and said, "Essie is pregnant, and Zac has explained that it has nothing
to do with her. She can be punished to copy the family rules ten times."
"But what if someone else follows this example in the future?" Mary was unwilling to give up. So what?
The baby in her belly was not the child of the family, but a bastard. How could she rely on it?
"Mommy, it's all Laura's fault. Laura has always been curious. If she is curious, she wants to find out
the truth. No one dares to get close to the yard when the accident happened to Laura. You don't need
to worry that someone will follow them. The most important thing now is to save Laura. You shouldn't
be so stupid, right? " He was afraid that his mother would punish Essie for hurting the baby in her belly,
so he unconsciously increased his tone.
Mary's face turned pale.
"Okay, okay. Since you all protect her, what else can I do?" She waved her hand angrily.
In the mansion, the news of Leila had been spread among the servants.
"This young lady is so bold that she even dare to touch the yard. Isn't she asking for trouble?"
"Yes, I'd rather take a detour than get close to that place. I'm afraid that I might irritate the ghost inside."
"I heard that the corpse of the rat that Mrs. Laura put in has been found outside the yard."
Everyone was terrified.
People couldn't be too curious, or they didn't know how they died.
Essie peeped out from the gap of the curtain. She was so curious that there was really no need to send
her sister-in-law to the hospital. Could she be cured just by uncle Li?
She couldn't believe it.
Zac came over and put his arm around her shoulder. "I will flatten that place in the future."
"In fact, it's also our fault this time. It's in its territory, and we're in our territory. Everyone has been safe
and sound. If we didn't disturb it, it wouldn't take revenge." Essie sighed. She turned around and saw
that Albert, who was sitting not far away, had a calm expression on his face, as if he was not worried
about Laura's illness at all. He was sure that she would recover after uncle Li used the spell.
As the third generation leader of the family, he must have known the secret of the ghost yard, but not
for Mary. Looking at her walking back and forth like ants on a hot pan, she might not know the secret of
the ghost yard.
She believed that Zac would inherit the throne in the future, the secret as well. However, he was a
scheming man. Perhaps like Albert, he wouldn't reveal it to his wife.
Walt stayed by Leila's side not to take care of her, but to prevent her from talking nonsense and
revealing her identity. But in the eyes of outsiders, he was worried about his wife's safety and showed
deep affection.
After a while, Leila stopped talking nonsense and woke up. She burst into tears.
It was a big mistake this time. She almost lost her life. These mysterious things couldn't be used to
make fun of casually. If she didn't work well, she would be harmed.
Seeing that she was fine, others were relieved.
After lunch, Essie leaned against the sofa and read an electric book. At the same time, Zac took a look
at her. He was shocked by the book Essie was reading. It was a book about ghosts.
Essie began to study this.
"If you see too much of this kind of messy thing, your brain will be short out." Zac grabbed it for her and
didn't allow her to read it again. Pregnant women should read some relaxing reading materials and
cultivate their temperament.
