"Mom, there's one thing I want to tell you. I haven't really divorced Zac, and he hasn't married Leila
either. He just used an excuse to fool Leila," Essie said in a low voice.
Yesterday, when Zac told her about this, she was surprised, delighted and a little angry. He had lied to
her for so long that she had always thought that she was a mistress and had always been regarded as
a mistress by outsiders.
Lucy was shocked, which was a new situation she had never imagined.
"Essie, look at you. Many things has happened since you were with Zac. This shows that you are not
the right person for each other. Why don't you just divorce? In case you delay each other's time and
miss the right person. "
"Mom, it's just because we have experienced so much that we have truly seen our hearts and feelings.
We want to cherish this fate, and please give us a chance, okay?"
she said honestly and pleadingly.
The corners of Lucy's mouth twitched. "Essie, the reason why I stopped you from being together is not
for myself, but for you. I know Mary very well. She is ten times more cunning than Vicki. She is
insidious and cunning. She won't let you and Zac have a good time. She won't stop until you are really
divorced. "
"Mom, she seems to have changed a lot recently. She is much kinder to me than before. She is not as
vicious as before. Maybe she is forced to accept me,"
Essie said thoughtfully. Although Mary's change was a little weird, she would rather think in a good
way.
"It might be her tricks. She seemed to be on good terms with me before, and I treated her as a sister. I
didn't expect her to stab me in the back, making me unprepared," Lucy said. She didn't believe that
Mary would change at all.
"Mom, why did she do that? How did you get into trouble with her?" Essie couldn't help but ask. Mary
was a petty and vengeful woman. Her mother must have done something wrong to make her unhappy,
so she came up with such a vicious trick to hurt her.
"How do I know? Maybe she has mental problems. " Lucy snorted. Mary was too insidious. Even if she
hated you in her heart, she wouldn't show it. She was always careless and never cared about anything.
She wouldn't know when she offended her.
A trace of sadness flashed across Essie's face. If her mother didn't even know it, it would be difficult to
resolve this resentment. To be honest, she didn't want to forgive Mary at all. What she had done to her
mother and her family was unforgivable.
But, after all, she was Zac's biological mother. For the sake of Zac, she was willing to let go of the past
grudges and forget hatred.
However, Lucy didn't think so. She had experienced it before. In her opinion, if the conflict between
mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't be properly handled, the couple wouldn't live in harmony for
a long time. Moreover, she hated Mary to the bone. She couldn't accept her son, let alone see her
daughter treat her as a mother and treat her with filial piety.
Therefore, she would do anything to force her to divorce Zac.
At this time, in the villa by the lakeside, Leila was standing on the rooftop with tears all over her face, as
if she was going to commit suicide. Of course, she didn't really want to commit suicide. She just made
up a tragedy play to win the pity of Zac.
Zac looked at her expressionlessly, as cold as the ice in the South Pole. "Jump as soon as you want.
Don't waste my time." His tone was even more cold, as if the cold air from Siberia had frozen the air on
the entire rooftop.
"Brother Zac, I know you must hate me very much. I don't want to hurt you either. It was Liam who
forced me. If I don't do as he said, I will die," she said in a trembling voice.
Zac sneered and looked at her with disgust, as if she was a beggar walking out of the trash heap.
She burst into tears, her face full of panic, fear and disappointment. "Brother Zac, do you know how
much I love you? I'm not afraid of death. The reason why I don't dare to disobey Liam's order is that I
want to live one more day with you. "
"I don't want to see you for even a minute." A murderous look gradually appeared on Zac's handsome
face.
A nerve on Leila's face was beating violently. The strong resentment gradually filled her eyes, which
were as thick as fog. "Brother Zac, don't you love me at all?"
Zac looked at her with his dark and cold eyes, which were like an ancient well that had existed for
thousands of years. He said coldly, "I just take you as a friend. You are flattering yourself. You think too
much."
"Aren't we the first love of each other? Aren't we happy together? " She felt as if she had been struck
by lightning, and her whole body had a spasm. She didn't believe that he had never loved her. He had
changed his heart just because he had fallen in love with Essie.
"You really have a severe delusion." Zac sneered, "It's all my fault to be soft hearted on you. So you
become so bold." He remembered that when they were cliff-climbing, Leila helped him block the stones
falling from the mountain. Her legs were injured and she lost the chance to become a dancer of
ballet. That was why he treated her different from other women.
Leila had been hypnotizing herself for a long time and had reached the point of incurable extent. She
had subconsciously believed that Zac loved her.
"If it weren't for Essie, we would have been together, wouldn't we?"
"That's impossible." Zac's tone was as cold as ice. From beginning to end, he only loved one person,
that is, Essie.
Leila covered her ears and shook her head desperately. She didn't believe it, nor did she want to
believe it. She kept comforting herself in her heart that Zac loved her, he loved her! It was all Essie's
fault. It was Essie who took him away. Why was she still alive? Why didn't she die? Then no one could
compete with her for him.
"Zac, I won't divorce you. Even if I die, I will continue to be your wife. I will never let Essie return to this
position, absolutely not!"
With a sneer, Zac said, "Leila Qin, I'm telling you three things. First, we have never been married. The
marriage certificate is fake, and it was only a show in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Second, we are never a
real couple. The person with you is not me, but my double body. Third, the seed you used for artificial
insemination is not mine. I have never donated the sperm. I just found someone to do it for me. "
Leila's eyes widened in an instant, and the strong spasm ran over her limbs and bones, as if she was
trembling. "You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense -" she screamed hysterically, and her
beautiful face twisted into a ferocious mass in extreme fear and resentment.
Zac's eyes were as sharp as blades, ruthlessly and coldly scratching her face. "Leila Qin, I'm never
threatened, and I won't let the person who threatened me come to a good end. If you don't jump down
today, you'll live a life worse than death."
A chill rose from the soles of Leila's feet and spread all over her body along her spine. She looked
down at the third floor under the rooftop. Even if she was lucky enough to survive from the jump, she
would be half disabled. She didn't have the courage. The reason why she stood here was to pretend to
be sad and show it to Zac.
"Zac Rong, don't you remember that I pushed you away regardless of everything at that time? I was hit
by a stone and my ankle was injured. I can't dance my favorite ballet or be a little swan anymore. I can
do anything for you, even at the cost of my own life. Isn't it too ruthless for you to treat me like this for
such an insignificant woman like Essie? "
A cold light flashed through Zac's eyes. If it weren't for the debt of gratitude in the past, she wouldn't
have stood here safe and sound.
"Leila, your biggest mistake is to hurt Dot!"
"Every man is for himself, unless Heaven and Earth will destroy him. What's wrong with me to do it for
the sake of my own child?" Leila roared ferociously and wildly. She didn't think she was wrong at all. It
was Essie's fault. She shouldn't have given birth to this baby. She deserved it. She and the baby
deserved it.
Zac gritted his teeth, "It doesn't matter if you are stubborn. You have plenty of time to repent." He
gnashed his teeth. She would spend the rest of her life in a mental hospital. That was the most suitable
place
for a lunatic like her.
At Yang City.
The bar at midnight was full of restlessness and passion.
In the mist of the glass light, many drunk and hazy faces flickered.
The man and woman were dancing crazily and smiling frivolously, hiding the loneliness and empty in
their hearts.
Hanson was already drunk. He held the bottle and danced frivolously on the stage. Men and women
flocked to the stage, screaming and dancing with him.
He had become a regular visitor here, getting drunk every night.
And Ivy became his protector. Every time he was about to get drunk, her bodyguards rushed to the
stage to support him, and then took him out of the bar and back to the apartment.
She took off his dirty clothes. He kept calling the name of Essie, tears streaming down from the corner
of his eyes and wetting his temples.
She touched his face, jealous and distressed.
'Brother Hanson, you idiot. There is not only one woman in the world. Why do you love Essie so
wholeheartedly?'
In fact, she had been secretly loving him. Why couldn't he pay more attention to her?
She sighed sadly, wrung a towel and wiped the tears on his face.
Since Essie had made up with her cousin and become her sister-in-law, he would give up sooner or
later. Now, a lot of women in the celebrities circle of Yang City were showing their affection to him. She
had to make a move. She couldn't let others get ahead of her.
She didn't leave this evening and stayed in the apartment to take care of him.
On the second day, Hanson was awakened by a strong smoke.
When he opened his misty eyes, he saw thick smoke floating from the door of the bedroom, like the
mist, spreading the whole space.
