Zac snorted. This was called check erroneous ideas at the outset.
He could see that his mother-in-law was still trying to break up the couple. She wanted to make a
match between Essie and Hanson and drive him away as the real son-in-law. Essie had always been
obedient to his mother-in-law. She might compromise one day. He would never allow such a possibility
to happen.
"Listen, Essie. You are my woman. Don't have any other fantasies in your mind for the rest of your life."
Essie took a deep breath. She remembered clearly that she had been monopolized by him all her life.
How could she have any other illusions?
"It's late. Go to bed." She closed her eyes and decided to play dumb.
But how could he let her go? He lowered his head and kissed her hard.
The second day, early in the morning, they went to the airport. Lady Rose and her daughter Irene came
from Provence.
"Mrs. Rose, miss Irene, welcome to Dragon City." Said Essie enthusiastically.
"I'm glad to see you again." Lady Rose said with a smile.
It was the first time for Irene to arrive in the East. She was very excited. Sitting in the car, she looked
around with her big eyes.
"Dragon city is much more prosperous than I thought. It's just like Paris."
"Dragon city is one of the financial center in the world, and also the economic capital of our country. It is
as prosperous as Paris or New York." Said Essie proudly.
"I must have a good time here." Irene said with a smile.
Essie had booked a presidential suite in the Intercontinental Hotel for them. She hoped that their trip in
Dragon City would be a happy one and their cooperation would go smoothly.
For Lady Rose, this trip was not only for cooperation, but also for seeing Zac's mother, who looked
exactly like her.
Zac booked a VIP room in the Scenery Sea Food Restaurant and made an appointment with his
mother. He didn't mention Lady Rose in front of Mary before and wanted to surprise her.
Because her son had an appointment with her, Mary came early. She drank tea alone in the box and
waited.
Zac and Lady Rose arrived at seven o'clock on time.
When the door of the box was pushed open, Mary turned her head slightly. At a casual glance, her
beautiful face suddenly turned as white as paper, and her whole body trembled violently. She knocked
over the cup on the tea table by accident, and the amber tea fell down, dyed the white jade flowers on
the carpet red.
"Who are you?" She jumped up from the chair with her eyes wide open, as if she had seen a ghost.
Zac didn't expect his mother's expression to be so exaggerated, much more shocked than he had
imagined.
Lady Rose was also surprised, because she looked more like herself than expected, but she was not
as scared as Mary. After all, she had been mentally prepared.
The waiter cleaned up the table and brought another cup of tea. Mary seemed to be still in shock, her
hand holding the cup still was trembling slightly. After taking a sip of tea, she slowly raised her eyes
and carefully looked at Lady Rose. After confirming that she was a person, her expression softened.
"Mommy, this is Lady Rose from Provence. I know you must be surprised, because she looks almost
exactly like you. When I saw her in Provence, I took her as you. " Said Zac slowly.
Mary breathed a sigh of relief. She really thought she had seen a ghost with her eyes. "Nice to meet
you, Mrs. Rose." She said in a low voice, trying to calm herself down.
"Nice to meet you, too, Mrs. Mary." Lady Rose smiled.
"Oh my God, Mr. Zac, your mother and my mother are so similar, just like twins." Irene exclaimed, half
covering her mouth.
The word "twins" flashed through Mary's mind like a sharp lightning. She was very sensitive to this
word, because she did have a twin sister, but she had died many years ago.
"Was Lady Rose born and raised in France?" She asked slowly and seriously, like a undercurrent
lurking at the bottom of the sea.
Lady Rose nodded, "I have never left France. This is my first time to go abroad."
"Really?" An indescribable look flashed across Mary's eyes.
Then, the whole restaurant was shrouded in deathly silence. Except for a few crows occasionally
burying themselves in the branches, it was so quiet that the sound of wind blowing over the hair could
be heard.
After the waiter served the dishes, Irene's voice broke the silence. "In addition to French cuisine, my
favorite food is Chinese cuisine."
"There are many styles of Chinese cuisine, including Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan
cuisine, Anhui cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine How about I take you to eat it all by then? " Said Essie with a
smile.
"Great! I never refuse delicious food." Irene said with a smile. She turned to look at Zac and asked, "will
Mr. Zac go with us?"
"He didn't like spicy food, so he can't enjoy many delicious food." Said Essie jokingly.
"That's a pity." Irene shrugged.
Taking a sip of tea slowly, Zac looked at Essie with a doting look in his eyes. "When it comes to food,
I've always been willing to sacrifice my life to accompany a beauty." Spicy crayfish, fried snails, spicy
crabs, spicy noodles... He had eaten a lot with a girl before.
With a mischievous smile, Essie said, "so I understand you and won't let you accompany me."
Looking at the two of them, Irene's eyes were full of envy. How much she hoped that she could have a
perfect husband like Zac. "Mrs. Essie, you are so lucky to marry such an excellent man as Mr. Zac."
Holding the hand of Essie, Zac said with a charming smile, "I'm luckier than her, because I found the
best woman in the world."
Hearing this, Essie felt sweet and happy. Although she had never heard the three words from Zac
himself, she believed that he had feelings for her.
Seeing that her son and Essie loved each other so much, Mary was very unhappy, with a malicious
look in her eyes. From head to toe, from inside to outside, she couldn't see anything special about
Essie. She didn't know what her son was infatuated with her and was loyal to her.
Lady Rose smiled and said, "It's the most difficult thing for two kids to grow up together and understand
each other's thinking."
Mary turned to her and asked, "how many days are you going to stay here, Mrs. Rose?"
"We are here to study the domestic market. Maybe we will stay here for more than ten days." Lady
Rose said casually.
Mary nodded slightly, "I hope you have a good time in Dragon City."
Zac poured a glass of rose red wine produced by Rose Chateau for his mother. "Mommy, this is the
best rose red wine in France. Have a taste."
Mary picked up the glass, shook it gently, took a sip and nodded perfunctorily. "Not bad." She said the
words lightly. To be honest, she was not in the mood to taste the wine at all. The sudden appearance of
this woman who looked exactly like her made her still have a lingering fear, and she always had a
feeling that she had seen a ghost.
How could Essie know what Mary was thinking? She turned to Lady Rose and smiled, "it's a pity that
such a good wine hasn't entered China, so I'm going to cooperate with Lady Rose and introduce it to
the Chinese market."
A cold light flashed across Mary's eyes. 'damn it! You are the only one who is meddling.' She knew that
this woman was her nemesis, just like her mother. As long as she was still in the family, she would try
her best to stir up trouble.
Now she found this French woman who looked exactly like her. Maybe there was a plot. She had to be
careful and be vigilant all the time.
"Any investment is risky. It's better to be cautious. After all, there are many good wine factories in China
now."
"So, I plan to inspect the local market first." Lady Rose answered.
Essie didn't worry too much. The domestic factory was in the low-end market, and she was going to the
high-end market, mainly for the upper class. They pursued quality and didn't care about the price at all.
The red wine in Rose Manor could meet their needs.
Mary didn't say anything more, but she was very angry. The delicious dishes on the table tasted bad.
As soon as she left the restaurant, she called her assistant and asked her to investigate the real
background of Lady Rose.
Soon, the assistant responded.
In the Rong Mansion.
The light sun shone through the emerald branches and flowers, coming in from the huge ring-shaped
floor to ceiling window, and dyed the luxurious silk gauze curtain red.
The shattered shadow of flowers swayed on the curtain. Sometimes it was alienated, sometimes thick,
sometimes clear, and sometimes hazy, like unpredictable slides.
Mary stood in front of the window, holding the background information of Lady Rose, lost in thought.
She didn't find anything special in the information, but that face was too similar to her. It was terrible!
Her heart was still fluttering with fear, as if she had seen a ghost coming out of the ground.
Did she come back to take revenge on her?
No, she was dead. There was no soul, no ghosts, no ghosts in this world!
She shook her head hard and threw the horrible shadow out of her mind.
The wind blew from the woods.
The window gauze fluttered.
The leaves of the fragrans swayed in disorder.
In a trance, she seemed to see the shadow hiding among the dense leaves, looking at her with the
most malicious eyes.
That shadow was not an illusion, but hidden in her memory.
She knew.
It overlapped Lady Rose unconsciously.
Was there a third person in the world who looked exactly like them?
How could it be possible? Unless her mother gave birth to triplets, not twins.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. What worried her most was that this
little bitch Essie would secretly plan a terrible plot to deal with her mother-in-law.
She couldn't let her scheme succeed. She had to find out who this Lady Rose was!
