"I'm not afraid of him at all. I, Eva, have never been afraid of anyone." Eva clenched her fists.
With a sigh, Essie said, "you are indeed enemies for three lifetimes."
"Jim is the type I hate most. Every time I see him, I have an impulse to beat him up." Eva curled her
lips. It was a pity that she couldn't defeat him no matter how she worked hard or found a new way.
With a slight smile on her face, Essie said, "it's better to make a friend than to make an enemy. How
about I find a time to help you reconcile on one day?"
"Forget it. After this movie, I will never cooperate with him again. From now on, he will take his own
path and I will cross my single plank bridge. We have nothing to do with each other. Out of sight, out of
mind." Eva said angrily with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Then you have to pay him back as soon as possible." Eating the fruit, Essie said slowly.
"Of course, I hate to owe others' favors the most." Eva picked up a grape and put it into her mouth.
When they were talking, Essie's phone rang. It was Zac. She pressed the answer key. When she heard
the voice on the phone, her face changed slightly and she quickly stood up.
Marlon brought the suspicious people they found to the secret interrogation room. Before the trial
began, he told them everything. To Marlon's surprise, he was Luce's nephew, Essie's cousin, Joy.
As soon as she arrived at the Blue Sea and Sunny Sky, Essie asked, "Zac, where is Joy?"
Zac waved his hand, and Joy walked out of the side hall with his head down. "Cousin." He whispered.
"Joy, what's going on?" Asked Essie in a hurry.
"On Wednesday, aunt Lucy called me and said that your mother-in-law was very bad and often bullied
you. She wanted to teach her a lesson. She said that you would come to FuJi for dinner on Friday. Your
mother-in-law was allergic to peanuts. At that time, she and your mother-in-law would order a desert
respectively. At that time, I would try to change the two dishes so that your mother-in-law could eat
peanuts. So that day, I asked for a leave. Then I sneaked into the restaurant from the back door and
hid in the corner outside the kitchen, waiting for the opportunity. When I saw the assistant chef leave, I
took the opportunity to go over, picked up the plate and handed it to the waiter. I told her the wrong
information. "
Essie was shocked. She didn't believe her mother would do such a thing. "Did my mother call you with
her phone?"
"No, it's a public phone." Said Joy.
"Are you sure it's my mother's voice?"
"It was very noisy on the phone. I was in the kitchen at that time, so I didn't carefully distinguish her.
Besides, she said that she was aunt Lucy. Could it be someone else who pretended to be her?" Joy
scratched his head and said, "your mother-in-law is a bad woman. Last time I heard that she came, I
specially went out to say hello to her. I didn't expect that as soon as she heard that I was your cousin,
her face became very bad. She deliberately picked up thorns on the dishes I cooked, saying that I was
not good at cooking. She said that I didn't have the talent for cooking, which almost made me fired. I
want to teach her a lesson even if aunt Lucy doesn't ask. "
When Joy was caught by Marlon, he was scared, but after he was taken to Zac, his fear was reduced a
little. After all, he was his brother-in-law. He wouldn't kill him, would he?
Now that he saw Essie, he was not afraid at all.
He believed that Essie would protect him.
A sharp light flashed through Essie's eyes. It was one hundred percent that someone wanted to frame
her mother, but who would do that?
"Icy guy, Joy is still young and thoughtless. I will teach him a lesson when we get back."
Taking a faint glance at Joy, Zac said, "for the sake of your sister, I'll spare you this time. Be more polite
to me in the future."
"Got it." Joy nodded.
After he left, Essie grabbed Zac's hand and said, "let's go back and ask my mother about it. I believe
that someone must have deliberately tried to frame her. She is usually reluctant to step on an ant to
death, and it's impossible for her to hurt your mother."
"Forget it. Just forget it. I've told the police to block the news and no one else will know it." Said Zac in
a low voice.
"Zac, are you suspecting my mother?" Essie asked.
"I just think that since my mother is fine, this matter is over and don't make things worse." Explained
Zac.
Marlon had found out that the phone call Joy received that day was from a public phone booth near
Phoenix Road. There was no monitor in that place, so it was difficult to find out who made the call. The
public telephone booth was only seven or eight minutes away from the villa, so Lucy couldn't get rid of
the suspicion.
"No, now someone is clearly trying to frame my mother. We have to find out the truth. I can't let my
mother take the blame." Essie said seriously. If Mary knew about it, she must take the opportunity to
make use of it.
"Why do you trust your mother so much?" Said Zac in a low voice. He felt uncomfortable at the thought
of what Mary had told him about the relationship between Luce and his father.
"I know what kind of person my mother is!" Essie said firmly. She believed in her mother.
Zac looked at her. When the extramarital affair between Luce and his father happened, she was not
born yet. Of course, she wouldn't know about the past. He didn't want to tell her, either. He didn't want
to destroy the image of Luce and his father in her heart, so he had to temporarily put it aside.
"Be good." He said two words in a commanding tone.
"Zac, it's obvious that you are suspecting my mother. I have to figure it out." Essie was a little annoyed
by Zac's attitude.
"Essie, the only thing you need to do now is to take care of yourself and the baby. Don't worry about
anything else." Zac's tone became harsh.
Enraged, Essie grabbed the handbag on the sofa and was about to go out. Zac picked her up from
behind, went upstairs and locked her in the room.
"Just stay inside and don't go anywhere." His tone was extremely domineering.
"Zac, don't you suspect my mother? I want to ask her about it." Essie was almost roaring. She was so
angry. This big devil, a tyrant, had only been gentle for a few days, but he had been dictatorial again.
"As I said, this matter is over." He said resolutely and coldly. His mother and mother-in-law had a deep
grudge against each other, and he didn't want to add another one.
Knowing that she had never been able to fight against him, plus her physical condition, Essie could
only sit on the chair and sulk.
In the afternoon, the phone rang. It was Bob calling. The police came to the villa and wanted to take
Lucy to the police station to assist in the investigation.
At this moment, Essie couldn't stay calm any more. She rushed forward and slapped Zac hard on the
face without saying anything. "You are so despicable. You pretended not to hold the accountable while
secretly calling the police to arrest my mother. Today, I finally know what kind of person you are."
Zac didn't care about the slap. He was just a little disappointed and injured. He didn't expect that after
so much experience, this muddled fool's trust in him was still so fragile.
"Listen up, Essie. I don't need the police to get involved in anything related to me."
"Only you know about it. Who else can it be except you?" At this moment, Essie was so angry that she
had no idea what was going on.
"Go to the police station." Zac opened the door and walked out.
Joy was also in the police station. When he came out of the Blue Sea and Sunny Sky, he was taken
away by the police before he reached the door.
Lucy didn't know what had happened at all. Because of her special identity, the police in charge was
polite and didn't dare to make things difficult for her.
When Essie arrived, Lucy learned from the police that the murderer of Mary's food allergy was her
nephew, Joy.
"Who reported it?" Zac asked in a low voice.
"She is your mother, Mrs. Mary, so we attach great importance to this case and dare not neglect it."
The policeman said.
Zac was shocked. How did her mother know about it?
Essie was also surprised. Mary was so quick. If she chose to call the police, she would not let it go.
Because of the lack of evidence, only a phone call was not enough to prove that Lucy was the
backstage manipulator. Lucy was fine, but Joy was miserable. He had caused intentional injury and
could be sued at any time.
Zac bailed him out and returned to the villa in Phoenix Road. Lucy was worried and angry.
"Joy, you are so stupid. Why don't you call my phone or home to confirm with me?"
"Aunt, isn't it really you?" Joy was totally confused.
"How can I let you do such a illegal thing?" Lucy sighed.
"If it wasn't you, who would it be?" Joy scratched his head.
"It depends on how many enemies Mary have." Lucy snorted.
Zac glanced at her with deep and sharp eyes.
He had decided the dinner plan on Tuesday and informed Mary and Lucy, so that they could make an
early arrangement. If Lucy didn't do it, who else could it be?
No one would know that he was going to invite Lucy and Mary to the Fuji restaurant for dinner.
Who would know that Lucy had a grudge against Mary?
Who would know that Lucy's nephew, Joy, worked in Fuji?
If there was no such person, it was Lucy who was lying.
Essie was also thinking about this question.
It was a good plan to kill Mary and frame her mother.
This person must not be an irrelevant outsider.
What was his purpose?
Revenge on Mary?
To intensify the hatred between Mary and her mother?
Or did he want to destroy her marriage with Zac?
She had imagined many possibilities. There were several suspects in her mind, including Elizabeth,
Bles, Valery and their biggest rival, Willi.
But there was no camera near the public telephone booth. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack
to find the real murderer.
