"Will your family's interests be compromised if you speak for me?" Leila felt like she was kicked into an
ice hole because of the cold air. It was too cold to feel any warmth.
Zac was not in a hurry to answer her question. He took a sip of the tea and asked slowly, "Tell me, if
there is a conflict between the Qin family and the Rong family, who will you stand by?"
Leila bit her lips and whispered, "I won't help anyone, okay?"
"No way!" Zac said simply.
"Why?" she asked in confusion. Staying neutral was the best choice for her.
"If you, as the hostess of the Rong family, can't maintain the interests of the Rong family
wholeheartedly, you are not qualified to be in this position." Zac said in a cold and cruel tone. "The
reason why the elders ask you to renounce with Qin family is that there are always fights between our
family and Qin family in the business field. However, no matter who is right or wrong, you must
unconditionally stand in the position of the Rong family and protect the interests of the family
wholeheartedly, even if it requires you to do something harmful to Qin family. You can't refuse our
family affairs."
Leila couldn't help but shiver. When she was determined to marry Zac, the Qin couple had only one
request. She could be neutral in the conflict between the two families, but she could not do anything to
damage the interests of the Qin family. Otherwise, she would not be part of the Qin family anymore.
Power and business conflicts were always cruel. As a member of a wealthy family, they could only
survive in honor as partners or destroyed as enemies. Whether it was the internal strife or the external
strife, a great clan's century old business would be destroyed in a day. Therefore, everyone placed
great importance to the interests and unity of the family, especially the overlord and the hostess of the
family, and they could not be blurred at all.
But Leila didn't know much about the real situation. The Qin couple ranked the third in their family, not a
family member. They worked for the Qin group, and they protected their children well, without letting
them be contaminated by power struggle. Therefore, unlike Essie, Leila didn't know the cruelty of
power struggle. It was inevitable that she was naive and stupid. She was also not as righteous as
Essie, who was willing to give up her own interests for the sake of family interests.
The two seniors of the Rong family and Albert were people experienced thousands of conflicts in both
power and business circles. They had a good understanding of people and things. They didn't take
Leila as their good daughter-in-law. Only Essie qualified.
"Zac, please give me some time. I will think it over," Leila said perfunctorily. She still put her hope on
her future baby. Or that was her last straw. She wanted to get pregnant first. And everything could be
considered later on.
The next day, the antidote was sent to the hospital by a deaf and mute person. He didn't read a book,
neither did he write, and he only knew how to recognize money. It must take a lot of work to find such a
person, and the accomplices behind the scenes are extremely cunning.
Of course, Essie was not aware of that. She went to the hospital with William.
The antidote injection needed to be tested and drawn in the lab. After the result was sure that there
was no problem with it, the antidote injection was injected into Essie's body.
"Mrs. Rong, are you going to the company or home?" William asked.
Essie smiled again and said, "William, we have known each other for so long, so you don't have to be
so restrained to be with me. Besides, I have divorced your boss, not your boss's wife. You can call me
Essie from now on."
William nodded. Since his boss was not here, he didn't care how he called her.
On the way back, she heard a joke from him. "William, what about you and Daisy? When are you going
to be your boss's cousin?"
William lowered his head and said with a smile, "Let nature take its course. We are still young and
there is no rush."
"You can't say that." Essie shook her head. "You'd better hurry up. Don't let Daisy wait too long. Girls
have a limited amount of youth."
"I will have enough time to consider my own business after you and boss restore your relationship."
William switched to a teasing tone. "So for the happiness of me and Daisy, you two shouldn't exhaust
yourself for too long, or you will be guilty of separating a couple."
With a weird smile on her face, Essie continued, "What if we can't make it up? Then you won't marry
Daisy, will you?"
"Yes. The boss is single, so I have no choice but to stay single with him. He will freak out when he sees
that I have a happy marriage with a son and a daughter," William threatened her with a helpless tone
on purpose.
Essie believed what he said, and she was stunned. 'Oh my God! So the devil would not allow his
subordinate to have a happy marriage since he doesn't have one?'
"He's a horrible man. Why are you still wanting to work for him? How about you hopping to my
company? I'll pay you three times more salary than he does. What do you think?"
Wearing a smile on his face, William shook his head and said, "Mrs. Rong, something is not right. Boss
and I have signed a life and death contract. I can only jump to another job if I'm dead."
Essie was shocked again. God! He even signed a contract with the devil and sold his life to Zac? It was
so terrifying.
She stuck out her tongue secretly and said in a consoling tone, "William, don't worry. Everything can be
forgiven. After all, you are going to marry his cousin, so he won't go crazy."
She felt restless as long as she thought that her separation with Zac would delay the wedding of
William and Daisy. She could not afford to be the culprit to split a couple. She would be blacklisted by
Daisy. That was horrible.
"No, I can't do that. Our boss and I can share happiness and difficulties together. He is in trouble now,
so I can't leave his feelings behind. I can't be happy beside him. So I hope you can get back together
as soon as possible and don't affect my marriage,"
William said in a pleading tone. Hearing her words, Essie did not know whether she should nod or
shake her head.
The future of her and Zac was unknown to everyone. Whether they were on good terms or not, it all
depended on fate.
"He and Leila have got married now. If he will remarry me, then, he will have to go through divorce and
remarry procedures. The procedure is very complicated. It may take several years to make it. Don't be
silly," While persuading William, she had made a decision that she must try her best to convince Zac.
She couldn't let their matter affect William and Daisy's happy marriage.
Looking at her serious face, William felt even more guilty. He was just joking. He couldn't expect that
boss's wife took it seriously. What a kind and innocent woman she was! How he wished she could
marry his boss after what she had been through this time.
Zac stayed at the lakeside villa these two days. On the third day, they went to the Jade Mountain villa.
Two days was the extreme of his tolerance. If he could not see her in one day, it was like three years.
Two days was like ten years to him. He would go crazy if he couldn't see Essie.
As soon as Essie came in, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her wildly. He didn't stop until she
was out of breath and almost passed out.
She felt that he belonged to the fire Element. The fire in his body was so strong and his energy was so
strong that it almost burned her to death.
After sitting on the sofa and calming down for a long time, she began to speak, "Icy guy, I used to think
that you were very domineering, but I never thought you could be so domineering," she said in a tone
of half reproach.
Taking a faint glance at her, Zac asked, "What do you mean?" He didn't remember what he had done to
upset her.
"Since your marriage is not smooth enough, you will not allow your subordinate to have a happy
marriage, right?" Essie pouted at him and said, "If you want to be single, they must be single, too. If
you want to divorce, will they also have to divorce?"
Zac was choked. He coughed to ease the air. Confused, he didn't understand what she meant at all.
"What happened to you these days when I was away?" He stroked her head and was worried about
her inexplicable behaviors.
Essie flung his hand away. "I'm fine. I'm just worried about William and Daisy."
This reason amused Zac. "How many brain you have? You could not handle well your own business,
why do you bother to care about others' business?"
Essie jumped up from the sofa, with her hands resting on her hip as she glared at him displeased.
"William is your brother who went through life and death with you. Daisy is your cousin. Don't you care
about their happiness?"
Zac raised his thick eyebrows slightly. "Did they have a fight?" Her tone was casual. It was normal for
the couple to quarrel. They would be back together in two days.
Feeling that he was pretending to be ignorant, Essie decided to come straight to the point and stop
beating about the bush. "Today I asked William when he will marry Daisy. William said that he won't get
married until your marriage is successful. If you can't remarry me, then you will be alone, and he won't
get married, either. He will stay single with you. Is this your rule? "
Zac was speechless. Was William helping him or just slandering him? Or was she making excuses for
not getting married?
But only a little fool as his little fool would believe such lame reasons.
She was a warm-hearted person and didn't want to cause trouble for others because of her own affairs.
It was a good idea to use the matter of William and Daisy to urge her.
Therefore, he cleared his throat and pretended to be serious, "We're best friends. We should share
weal and woe together. As soon as we get back together, he and Daisy will get married. Otherwise, he
will be single." He deliberately used a tyrannical tone, which seemed very ruthless.
Putting her hand on her forehead, Essie felt a little helpless. Marriage was a lifetime issue. Even a
tyrant couldn't hinder other people's marriage?
"Zac, if we can't make it up forever, will you stop William from getting married in his whole life?"
"It's possible." Zac said slowly.
Essie glared at him with her mouth agape in disbelief for a long time, and then she raised her head and
looked down at him as if a meteor streaked across her face. "Are you bisexual? You like William?"
At the moment, Zac was drinking tea with a teacup of purple sand. His mouth was choked and the tea
water spilled out of his mouth. Fortunately, he covered his mouth immediately to prevent the water from
splashing.
