Essie was frightened to look at him, like a punctured leather ball. She suddenly collapsed in the seat.
She knew that he wouldn't let her go. In his eyes, she was just a tool. He would not care about her self-
esteem, feelings, or cherish and care for her.
She stared at him ferociously, "I hate you, Zac. I hate you!" She shouted insidiously, sadly and angrily.
"It doesn't matter. You can hate me if you want." He said weakly. He would rather be hated by her than
lose her.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her head and tried to hold them back. She didn't want to cry in
front of him. She didn't want him to see her weakness. However, tears flood like a flood, more and
more turbulent. Essie bit her lip as if she was angry with those disobedient guys.
He put his arm in front of her and said, "don't bite yourself. I am the one who should be blamed." He
knew her too well. When she was sad, she would punish herself. But he would not let her do that. Even
if there was only a little injury on her body, he would be very distressed.
She released her lips with anger and pushed his hand away. "You can go now. Leila is still waiting for
you at home. It's better to find a psychologist and cure the hidden disease than to constantly torture
me. "
"It's no use if it's cured. Even if I don't want to vomit, I only have feelings for you." He shrugged his
shoulders and said firmly.
"You... You'd better go back with your wife as soon as possible. We're done. " She turned away angrily.
"Didn't I tell you? I have never had any relationship with her. " He bit her ear and whispered.
She gently pushed him away to keep a safe distance, "she came to see me today." She answered
casually.
He froze for a second and then straightened up. He frowned and asked in a serious tone, "what did she
say to you?"
"To show off the love between you two." She sneered.
A hint of coldness and cruelty flashed across his eyes. Fortunately, he had given the information to her
in time, or the dull and inarticulate woman would be very angry. By that time, she would lose her mind
and do anything impulsive.
"Just turn a deaf ear to what she said."
"I don't care about you. Of course, I don't care about her." She muttered in a sullen tone, pretending not
to see his darkened face. She swallowed and raised her voice, "I guess she's here to strike me and find
out whether the gossip between you and Zac is true."
Zac slightly raised his eyebrows, and his gaze became very deep. "Then what did you say?"
"I told her you were a playboy. You pretend to be unconcerned with women on the surface, but actually
had a lot of women in private."
As she spoke, Essie moved towards the car door as far away from him as she could, in case that he
would burst into rage and burn her.
To her surprise, instead of getting angry, he smiled, bending his lips, and said in a mischievous way,
"that's a good idea, from now on. You can label me as a dissolute man. Please don't have any mercy
on me."
She was confused and didn't know his intention. Why did he go all out to slander himself? It was too
weird! Was it because of his marriage with Leila?
"Are you all right?" She looked at him with a little worry.
"Don't worry." He stroked her head, stopping laughing. His face turned serious. "As long as you believe
me, that's enough. I don't care what others think of me."
'It's impossible for me to trust you!' She thought. A man with superior intelligence, indescribable
personality like him couldn't be easily believed.
"Alright, you should go back to accompany your wife now. Don't waste your time on me, your ex-wife."
After that, she opened the door and was ready to go out, but was pulled back by his big hand.
"Do you remember what I said before?"
"What saying?" She pouted her lips and felt her brain was in a mess. She couldn't remember what Zac
had said at all.
He flicked hard on her forehead to help her to calm down. "No more risk-taking things in the future. If
anything happens, call me immediately. I'll send someone to do it."
"It's none of your business." She covered her forehead and glared at him. She had decided not to rely
on him anymore, and to rely on her own ability to maintain the Xu's Group.
"Are you naughty because I didn't teach you these days?" He touched her with his long finger.
She shivered as if she got an electric shock. She hurriedly shook off his hand and said, "I... I will listen
to you whatever you say. "
This man smelled of danger. According to his unrestrained character, it was not surprising that he sent
away the bodyguards and punished her on the spot in the car. She had better compromise for her own
safety.
"That's my good girl." He caressed her head and texted her an address. "I bought a villa in Jade
Mountain. We will meet there."
She took a deep breath. Was he trying to keep her as his mistress in his love nest?
"Don't you ever try to attract me. You are not so charming!" She was shy and annoyed.
"It's not a golden house. It's our new home," He said slowly word by word, and his tone was like a
goose feather gently stroking her face.
She was a little confused. He played stars and had an affair. Was he bored with the new life recently?
"Mr. Zac, I'm not in the mood, and I don't have time to have an affair with you. I have a fiance. From
now on, I will love him wholeheartedly. You'd better keep your hands off me."
As a fleeting cold light flashed through his eyes, Zac held her chin tip fiercely. "Remember what I said,
you won't marry someone else until I die!" Every word was squeezed out of his teeth with anger.
She shivered and said, "It is just a remarriage, not marry others when you die." She corrected him in a
low voice.
"All right!"
Her heart was filled with fear.
This man was horrible. Once someone dared to provoke him, he would follow behind him like a shadow
and could never be get rid of.
Essie dashed into the house and was about to change her clothes when Dot noticed something
different.
"Mommy, what's wrong with your mouth? It's red and swollen. "
She was embarrassed. She really wanted to dig a hole and hide for a while before she came out.
"Well... I ate some spicy food. It was too spicy and swelled up. " She stuttered to explain.
"I thought you were bitten by some insect." Dot took out a bottle of iced water from the refrigerator. He
was so considerate. Mom used to drink iced water when she ate spicy food.
Essie touched her son's head dotingly, took the bottle and drank a big gulp to release her anger. She
was indeed bitten by a big bug, a domineering, hateful and ferocious one.
"Mommy, your clothes are so dirty. Did you fall down on the ground when you walk?" Mili walked down
the stairs and looked at her worriedly. She was like a muddled egg who are not care about the stones
and branches under her feet when she went out. It was not strange that she fell over by stones or tree
branches.
"I'm not a kid. How could I fall down? I went to a construction site today and got stuck with dust. " Then
she made up an excuse. She didn't tell her family about the explosion, or they would be worried all day
long.
She went upstairs, took off her clothes and went to the bathroom. Her mind was in a mess. Apart from
the weird behaviors of Zac, she was still thinking about the explosion today.
'Did Elizabeth set a trap for me on purpose? Does she want to blow me up?' Or did Bles find out that
Elizabeth was helping her, so he and Liam had set a trap to lure Elizabeth in by taking advantage of
her?
Fortunately, Zac was present today, or she would definitely be disabled or dead.
Anyway, he couldn't count on Elizabeth anymore. Her enemies were too strong, and she had to be
more careful from now on. She couldn't trust anyone easily.
After leaving Essie's residence, Zac didn't plan to go back to the villa by the lake. Instead, he called Jim
out to the club for drinking. Ever since the incident with Landis happened, this man who was really
interested in gossip had called him countless times to ask what was going on. Zac did it just to satisfy
his curiosity.
"Finally you are free." Jim came over at supersonic speed, fearing that he would change his mind and
stand him up.
"I asked you to drink with me, not gossip." Zac opened his mouth. Of course, Jim didn't buy it. "I just
think your second marriage is too weird. I really can't figure it out."
Zac poured a glass of whisky and some ice. He shook it and had a sip. Then he said in a casual way,
"don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Don't damage your brain."
"If you really don't want to be with Essie, I'll have to make a move for her." Jim provoked him on
purpose. Before he finished his words, he saw a beam of extremely cold light shoot at him. "You can
try."
