In fact, everyone saw it, but they pretended not to see it.
Two bowls of soup in front of Zac were poured back by Ivy. While pouring, Ivy said to herself in the tone
of pity, "Wow, the soup is delicious. It's your loss if you don't drink it. But Essie is right. You need to add
some salt to stew it for a while." Then she asked the maid to take it out.
Everyone at the table breathed a long sigh of relief.
After dinner, Alena put the wedding of Zac and Essie on the agenda. The wedding ceremony finally
officially began to count down. Alena had already asked aunt Bonney to check the date and put the
wedding in a good day of October in golden autumn.
"Aunt Bonney once said that you would be reunited." Alena said with a smile.
Zac put his arm around Essie's shoulder. This time, he would never let go of her and let her run away.
"Mili and Dot are on the plane. They will arrive at Dragon City tomorrow." He smiled. Willi's home had
been destroyed. Even if they hadn't caught him yet, he wouldn't be able to make a big trouble.
Sitting next to them, Mary wore a smile on her face, but deep inside, she was extremely angry. She
really didn't expect that the little tramp, Essie, would come back. Leila was too weak to be the second
Elizabeth.
Mary would never let this tramp stay in the family. She thought Essie was a big trouble for her, so she
would drive Essie away from her son in any way.
There was another person in the house who was as gloomy as her. The man was Walt.
It was beyond his expectation that Zac and Essie were reconciled. He had thought that Essie was
dating with Jim. It seemed that the gossip between them was just a cover. Jim and Zac grew up
together. They were best friends. I don't think he would steal Zac's girlfriend.
"Congratulations!" He said in a low voice.
With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, Zac said, "now she is my wife and your sister-in-law
again. You don't have to goad me into doing anything." Since Walt didn't dare to admit his feelings in
front of Essie, he had to play dumb and take it as a trick. After all, they were brothers of the same
mother. He didn't want to treat her as an enemy all the time.
There was a malicious look in Walt's eyes, but he didn't show it or respond. He just smiled faintly,
hiding all his emotions.
"Don't just talk about Zac. You have to think about your own business." Alena looked at him lovingly.
"Maybe my lover hasn't arrived yet. But don't worry. Maybe one day I will bring you a granddaughter-in-
law." Walt smiled.
"You have been playful since you were a child. If you can really behave yourself, I will be thankful."
Alena smiled kindly.
"One thing conquers another? If I meet a woman who can conquer me, I will definitely raise my hand to
surrender. " Said Walt jokingly, making a strange face at her. If it weren't for Zac, he would have been in
pairs with his own little sun. Why did he still have to love her secretly?
"I really want to see which woman is so capable to subdue you." Alena laughed.
It was the calmest day in the house. Although it was a little cloudy, the sky above the house was still
sunny and clean. However, the peace here was quite short. One day, it would be enveloped by the dark
clouds hidden in the sky.
The second day, when Essie returned to the villa on Phoenix Road, she found that Finney had come
and bought a large box of cherry. She knew that Essie liked cherry the most.
Coincidentally, Essie also had something to talk to her.
Since Finney divorced, she had been single. Aunt Wendy was very anxious. She often called her and
asked her to introduce a suitable person to Finney. Now that she had time, she carefully selected
several suitable candidates for her.
"Finney, didn't you always say that you wanted to hook up with a diamond man? As your sister, how
couldn't I take care of you? So, I have seen so many men for you and finally picked out three supreme
beautiful diamonds for you! " Then she took out her iPad from her bag and opened the first photo, in
which there was a man shining like the morning star.
"This is the son of the jewelry king. He is 30 years old, get a doctor degree from Medical College of
Pennsylvania. He is a brain surgeon. He has never been involved in any gossip. He is elegant and
refined, and there is a little sense of humor in his words."
Finney's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed. "It's good." She nodded, feeling absent-minded.
Essie opened the second picture. The man in it was as bright as the moon. "He is the son of the mayor
of E City. He is 28 years old and graduated from the Oxford law school. Now he is a lawyer. He is low-
key, modest and easy to get along with."
Finney smiled. A lawyer was a career between an angel and a devil, but she liked it. However, she was
not in the mood to talk about her own marriage at all.
"Well, the last one comes out." Essie smiled and opened the third picture. It was a military officer as
brilliant as the morning sunlight.
"Well..." With her eyes wide open, Finney got closer and felt that she was a little familiar with him, as if
she had seen him somewhere.
"Is he so handsome? This is a real one. It is not a PS photo."
Finney licked her lips and said, "He is very handsome and I like officer. Who is he?"
"Haven't you seen the standard gene of the Xu family?" said Essie with a smile.
"Xu family?" Finney was shocked. She stared at the photo for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "No
wonder I think he looks familiar. He is your cousin, the son of the military officer, right?"
"He is the son of my second uncle Eric, and now he is a military colonel. Don't think he is cool, but he is
very considerate. Besides, he only use to have a girlfriend. I promise he will be faithful." Essie nodded.
Finney sighed, "the people you introduced to me are all rich men. They are great, but will they take a
fancy to me?"
"How can you know whether you can make it if you don't give it a try?" Hearing that, Essie pouted. Aunt
Wendy had high requirements. The man had to be rich, born in a rich family and be single-minded in
love. It took her a lot of efforts to pick them out.
"Well, it's my own business. I can handle it myself. Don't worry about it." Finney smiled and seemed not
to appreciate it.
With a sigh, Essie thought, 'nowadays, the women who keep single are too excellent, so when they find
mates, they will not willing to be with men inferior to them and can't reach the men better than them.
After the lunch was ready, Lucy invited Finney to have lunch. It seemed that Finney was in a good
mood and drank several glasses of red wine. She was a little drunk after lunch, so Essie helped her to
have a rest in her room.
But she didn't fall asleep. When she heard no sound in the corridor, she got up quietly and sneaked
into the room of Essie.
There was a notebook in it, which was owned by Essie and stored a lot of confidential documents. She
opened her ears and listened carefully outside, but there was no sound. She was relieved and took out
a hacker software and inserted it into the computer of Essie...
Downstairs, when Essie was sitting on the sofa and playing with her iPad, her phone suddenly rang.
Her phone was installed with a special software that was transplanted by Martin, which could be
connected to the computer. As long as there was any illegal invasion or downloaded, the phone would
have a message alert.
When she saw the message, Essie was shocked and a sharp look flashed across her eyes.
The computer in Essie's room was equipped with the latest communication equipment improvement
technology developed by Brightness Telecommunication Group, which was owned by Hengyuan. It
would be used to participate in the bidding of Baker Telecommunication Company in Europe this
weekend.
On Monday, when Essie and the bidding team came back from Europe, there was a great uproar in the
Brightness Telecommunication Company. The competitor of Brightness Telecommunication Company
used the same technology as theirs, so Essie resolutely chose to give up the bidding.
Then, the stock of the Brightness Telecommunication Company plummeted, and the shareholders were
very dissatisfied. Elizabeth and Bles took the opportunity to ask for a board meeting to impeach the
president, Essie.
Essie calmly attended the board meeting.
"Essie, what you did confused me. Even if the other company uses the same technology as that of
Brightness, it doesn't necessarily mean that Brightness will lose. Why did you suddenly decide to give
up the bidding and let others get the contract? As the president, haven't you ever thought that it will
cause a great loss to Brightness? What's more, Brightness is preparing to purchase the Seine. In this
way, it will greatly enhance its strength. How can we do anything about it? " Bles questioned.
"Bles, it's not a bad thing to lose the battle. Don't worry too much. I will try my best to make up for the
loss." Said Essie calmly.
A malicious and cold light flashed across Bles's face. "Essie, to be honest, you are a woman after all,
and you are a designer. You have no experience about it. I think you'd better learn to delegate power."
Casting a sidelong glance at him, Essie said, "Uncle Bles, as the president, I will certainly arrange it.
You don't have to worry about it."
Bles's face darkened, "then how are you going to clean up the mess now?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet. There will be a way, please give me more time. If I can't deal with this
matter properly, I will resign from the position of president of Brightness."
"Don't try to buy time on purpose. If you can't think of a good way to clean up the mess, you can take
the blame and resign." Bles snorted. He didn't believe that Essie had the ability to change the situation.
If she couldn't do it, she wouldn't blame him for being rude.
Now he had to take measures one by one to separate all the groups under the Hengyuan group from
Essie, so that she only had Hengyuan left. He didn't believe that an old man like him couldn't defeat his
niece, the tender grass.
He had disguised and planned for so long, waiting for the day to get the Xu Group. He would never
give up. No matter what kind of method he would use, he would do it even if he cooperated with the
devil.
However, what he didn't expect was that the mantis stalks the cicadas and the Oriole is behind them.
