Irene knew that Zac liked fresh orange juice, so she went to the kitchen to make a small bottle. She
took out the small bottle given by Leila and put the liquid in it.
When she was taking the glass, she accidentally touched the rose red wine that she had drunk. The
cork of the bottle was not stuffed, and bright red liquid flowed out from it and splashed all over her
body.
"Damn it!" She cursed from her throat, put the juice aside, and quickly went to take a shower and
change her clothes. Zac must dislike the smell of alcohol.
As soon as she went upstairs, Mrs. Rose walked into the kitchen. She was also here to make juice.
The habits of Zac and his father were very similar, and they both liked orange juice.
When she saw a jar of fresh juice in the kitchen, she guessed that it was Irene who made it. However,
she didn't expect that Irene had poison it. After she finished squeezing it, she didn't care too much and
just took a can of it and went out. Albert was still waiting for her in the Chateau.
Irene put on her pajamas after she washed herself well. She went to the kitchen and went upstairs with
the orange juice she had made.
Mili was still video chatting with Zac. She wouldn't turn it off until it was bedtime.
"Cousin, I have made a pot of orange juice for you. Let's talk while drinking." She smiled, poured the
orange juice into the cup and handed it to Zac.
"Thank you." Zac took it and took a sip. As Irene saw it, a mysterious smile appeared at the corners of
her mouth. "Can I have a talk with Mili?" she asked.
Hearing what she said, Mili pouted and said, "Aunt Irene, you can go out now. Daddy and I are talking
something secret. Outsiders can't hear us."
"How old are you? Do you have a secret?" Irene said with a smile.
"I'm a prodigy. I know more than you do." Mili raised her eyebrows proudly.
"How do you know more than I do?" Irene pursed her lips with a faint smile. How dare this little girl
mock her intelligence?
"Can you recite the six hundred and fifth number behind the Pi?" Mili Michelle.
Irene was a little nervous. She couldn't!
"Can you calculate how much for thousand six hundred and ninety two times two hundred
and ninety four in ten seconds?" Mili asked again.
Irene was sweating wildly. Of course she couldn't!
Mili sneered, "Look, this is the difference between the ordinary you and prodigies like me."
"It seems that there is a generation gap." Irene smiled awkwardly.
"Honey, be polite. Don't talk to auntie Irene like that." In the video, Essie scolded in a low voice.
"I'm just telling the truth. Is it wrong to be honest?" Mili pouted, looking wronged.
Zac shook his head and smiled. She was such a naughty girl. She didn't even care about her father's
face, let alone Irene.
"Irene, why don't you go out first? This little girl has a lot of secrets to tell me."
Irene was so depressed that she could only turn around and sulkily walk out. However, she didn't go
downstairs. Instead, she went to the opposite room and peeped through the crack of the door. Leila
didn't say how long the thing she gave would work, so she had to wait patiently.
Two hours later...
The door of the opposite room finally opened. Seeing [荣振烨] come out, she opened the door and
walked out in a hurry.
"Cousin, have you finished talking with Mili?"
Zac nodded slightly, "Are you still awake?"
"I'm going to sleep." She took a deep look at Zac. There was no unusual reaction on his face. It couldn't
be more normal. She wondered if what Leila gave her was useless?
"Cousin, the heat is on. Don't you feel hot?" she asked tentatively.
"I think it is okay." Zac shrugged.
"That's good." Irene was depressed. 'Did Leila buy fake and inferior goods? It didn't work at all.'
While she was thinking, Zac went into the bathroom and closed the door after bathing.
Irene was completely desperate. Her plan had failed!
Zac had planned to stay in Rose Manor for two days. He would go back to Dragon City with Mrs. Rose
after she dealt with the business in the Chateau. However, Mrs. Rose changed her plan and decided
not to go back to Dragon City for the time being.
Irene was a little unhappy. She didn't want to stay here. But Mrs. Rose was very determined. She had
no choice but to stay with her.
Albert, who boarded the private plane, looked very serious. He looked out of the window in silence.
Zac was keenly aware of it and asked, "Dad, yesterday you went to the Rose Chateau. What do you
think?"
With an indescribable complicated expression on his face, Albert said, "Good." He said in a low voice.
"Is there anything unpleasant between you and aunt?" A sharp light flashed across Zac's dark and cold
eyes.
Albert's mouth twitched slightly. "No." When he spoke, he kept looking out of the window, as if he was
worried that his son would notice something wrong.
Zac's eyes darkened. His father was a calm and composed man, but this time he unexpectedly
revealed an unusual emotion, which was really weird.
But Albert didn't tell him and he didn't ask much. He could only keep it in mind for the time being.
On the same day as Zac, Essie arrived at the Rong Mansion.
As soon as Albert came back, Mary took the initiative to show their kindness and gave him the cigar
that they had specially brought back from Cuba. Albert was not as cold as usual and became gentle to
her. "I heard that you have a cold these two days. Pay more attention to your health."
The simple words made Mary's eyes wet. She hadn't been cared by Albert for a long time. She decided
to try harder to win back Albert's heart.
"Albert, I have been regretting these days. I did do a lot of wrong things in the past, and I know I was
wrong. I... I've always been jealous of Lucy. I'm desperate because I can't get all your love. I was out of
my mind." She sat on the sofa and burst into tears. "But the secret passage has nothing to do with me.
No matter how stupid I am, I won't hurt my grandson. If you don't believe me, you can ask Essie. She
has promised me to investigate it again. "
Startled, Albert turned to look at Essie.
Essie didn't expect that Mary would use her to get her out of trouble!
Albert and Zac were both shrewd people. They could tell at a glance whether she lied or not. Denying
was not good for her.
While thinking, she nodded. "Mommy told me that she was framed. I thought about it carefully and
found that except for the message Peri sent to her brother, there was no other evidence to prove that it
was mommy who did it, so I decided to investigate it again. As the hostess of the Rong family, I won't
wrong a good person, nor will I let go of a person who wants to make trouble."
Albert nodded, satisfied with her magnanimity, "I'll leave it to you."
An unnoticeable secret smile appeared at the corners of Mary's mouth. Aged ginger was always spicy,
and how could a tender young girl like Essie could fight against her?
Looking at Essie, Zac's face darkened.
After returning to their room, he forcibly pulled Essie to sit next to him.
"Do you really believe that mommy was wronged?" His tone was emotionless, as if he was just asking
a simple question.
"Half. If I believe her completely, would have let you know." Essie said lightly. "After all, your mommy
has a habit of lying. I can only judge from the evidence."
"Anyway, I'm gratified," Zac said in a low voice.
"I'm not doing this for Mommy. I'm doing this for the Rong family. It's my duty to manage it well," Essie
said seriously.
Zac looked at her affectionately and dotingly. "I lost for the first time in my life, but in return, I won the
luckiest treasure in my life."
A bitter smile appeared on Essie's face. "Am I lucky or unfortunate to marry you?"
Zac felt that he was severely hurt. "You deny me completely because of one thing?"
Hearing that, Essie frowned slightly. Her heart was originally full of happiness and happiness, but now
he had inserted a thorn in her heart, which made her painful and unable to be pulled out.
She raised her eyes and looked at him, "Whether it's luck or misfortune, I have to walk on." She had
cried, laughed, and felt pain, but she had never regretted. If she had to make another choice, she
would still choose this path.
"It's good that you know it." The corners of Zac's mouth were slightly drooping. He was a little hurt in
his heart.
After a long silence, his voice came again, "Aunt and Irene didn't come back with us."
"Why? Do they still have something to deal with in the Chateau? " Essie asked.
"No, I always feel that something unpleasant happened between aunt and daddy that night, so aunt
temporarily decided not to come back." Zac said thoughtfully, "In the morning, dad and aunt didn't say a
word. They seemed to avoid each other deliberately."
"Did daddy and aunt talk about the past?" Essie was shocked.
"My father is a man of sense. He knows that aunt has lost her memory and can't mention those
unpleasant past," Zac analyzed.
"Maybe the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it wrong." Essie shrugged. Regardless of who
the Mrs. Rose was, Charlotte, she had a relationship with Albert and had a child. These memories
could not be forgotten by Albert.
She picked up her pad and decided to make a video call to Mrs. Rose to sound it out.
At this moment, Irene was playing tricks with Mrs. Rose and asking her to go back to Dragon City. Mrs.
Rose was so upset that she locked herself in her room and ignored her.
Seeing the video call from Essie, she hesitated for a while and decided to answer it.
"Auntie, when are you and Irene going to come? Zac and I can pick you up at the airport," Essie said
with a slight smile.
Mrs. Rose flipped her hair at the temples of her ears with a strange expression on her face. "I'm used
to living in Provence. I think it's better here, so I don't intend to come over for the time being."
Essie and Zac looked at each other. It seemed that the situation was more serious than they thought.
"Aren't you still receiving treatment? If you don't come back, the treatment will be interrupted."
