"Well, let bygones be bygones. Since you and rose look so alike, it's a kind of fate. Maybe you can
become good friends. " Albert comforted Lady Rose.
"I feel as if we are old friends at the first sight of Mrs. Mary." Lady Rose smiled faintly.
"Me too." Mary said perfunctorily. It seemed that she didn't want to continue this topic.
After dinner, Essie and Zac sent Lady Rose and Irene back to the Intercontinental Hotel, and then
returned to the Blue Coast.
Leaning against the sofa, Essie remained silent for a long time with a serious and deep expression on
her face.
Zac picked up a black grapes and fed it into her mouth. "What are you thinking about?"
After eating the grapes, Essie said slowly, "I'm thinking about Lady Rose. If she is really not your aunt,
then why did she dream of the Rong mansion?"
Zac raised his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't explain it either. Coincidence didn't make sense at all. No
one would dream of a place they had never been to for no reason.
"In fact, whether Mrs. Rose has anything to do with my mommy or not will be known after a medical
appraisal. But it seems that mommy is not willing to do so."
"It should be a good thing for sisters to meet each other. How about we..." Essie whispered in his ear
and he nodded slightly. It was not a bad idea.
"Let's prepare the celebration party tomorrow. After it's over, I'll go back to the Rong mansion."
Essie nodded. Tomorrow's banquet was indeed very important, because it was the first time for Baron
to meet others after he woke up.
She had made up her mind that she would attend the party with Zac as his wife, not the president of
the Xu Group. After all, the protagonist was Baron, so she couldn't be the heroine.
That night, in the incomparably luxurious George Hotel, many famous people and celebrities got
together.
The guests were all politicians and business celebrities.
When Zac and Essie entered the hall of the hotel at the same time, all the cameras were turned on.
Zac was wearing a luxurious midnight blue evening dress, a white dress shirt, a silk tie collar, and a
handsome face that instantly killed all the people. His slender and tall body was aggressive, and people
around only dared to look up at him secretly at forty-five degrees.
On the other hand, Essie was wearing a beautiful dress with embroidered petals on her shoulders. Her
long dress was light and gauze, and her steps were as gentle as water. It was like princess Sissi's old-
fashioned updo, with a strand of black hair hanging casually. Noble and elegant, it also added a bit of
charm. This time, she put on some fresh and bright makeup, revealing a bit of charming charm from the
innocence.
Vinton came in after them. Judging from his appearance, he was more beautiful than a peerless
beauty, but his tall body and cynical attitude made people can tell the gender at a glance.
"I heard that besides the project cooperation, daddy has another thing to announce. Do you know what
it is?" He looked at Essie curiously.
"Really?" "I've never heard of it from Mr. Baron. Is it about the cooperation project?" Essie asked in
surprise.
"Something unimportant." Zac's fingers inadvertently swept across the top of the long glass, with an
indifferent expression.
"Daddy is so mysterious. It's not like him." Vinton slightly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly
froze.
Following his gaze, Essie saw a beautiful woman walking in gracefully.
She wore a long dark V dress, and her body was as beautiful as white jade, as if the rippling lake water.
Her makeup was very light. The fresh smoke and natural nude makeup, but the lighter, the more
beautiful and charming she was.
"Who is that woman?" Vinton murmured to himself. His voice was as soft as a silk, but it went smoothly
into the ears of Essie.
"I don't know." Essie shrugged her shoulders. It seemed that she had never seen this woman in the
celebrity circle of Dragon City.
When they were confused, Elizabeth walked to the woman, held her hand and walked over with her.
"Vinton, let me introduce her to you. This is your aunt's niece, called Wendy."
Wendy looked at Vinton with tenderness. "Vinton!" She called her sweetly and softly. Normally, men
couldn't bear such a coquettish look, and their bones would melt. But now, Vinton's mind was all on
Eva, and he had no interest in other women, no matter how beautiful the woman was.
"Hello." He greeted her indifferently.
A hint of disappointment appeared on Wendy's face. She was looking forward to seeing Vinton fall in
love with her at the first sight.
A sharp light flashed through Essie's eyes. Her intuition told her that Elizabeth had a bad idea about
her son.
At the beginning of the banquet, the guests all took their seats.
After the opening remarks and several speeches, the last one to come onto the stage was Baron, the
chairman of Hengyuan Group. He walked in an elegant and leisurely way, like the king of beasts.
The crowd burst into applause.
After introducing the blueprint for the future of the Xu Group, he went to another topic, announcing the
good news that his eldest son, Vinton was engaged to Wendy.
"Damn it!" Under the stage, Vinton cursed from his throat. Now he knew what kind of mystery his father
was playing.
"If I'm not wrong, it must be your mommy's idea," said Essie, patting him on the shoulder to keep him
calm.
"You don't need to tell me." Vinton's eyes were burning with anger, and his eyebrows were twisted in
anger. Wendy was his mother's relative.
"Don't tell Eva about this." Said Vinton. He was worried that Eva would refused to talk to him after she
knew it.
"Paper can't wrap fire. Tomorrow your marriage news will surely be on the front page. Your mommy's
purpose is to separate you and Eva." With a heavy sigh, Essie said, "you have to be careful. It's
obvious that your mommy has planned it for a long time. She has arranged everything secretly, and
then asked Mr. Baron to announce the marriage. She will give you a surprise, so that you have no way
back."
Vinton snorted, "he underestimated me."
After the party, Vinton went straight to Elizabeth's bedroom in a rage.
Elizabeth leaned against the chair, with a cup of coffee in her hand. She looked at her son calmly, as if
she had expected him to come.
"Mommy, shouldn't you discuss with me before you decide my marriage?" Vinton glared at his mother
with his hands on the desk.
"I think it's a good marriage. Wendy was suitable for you with her conditions." Elizabeth took a sip of
coffee and said calmly.
"But that's your idea not mine. I will never marry a woman I don't love." Vinton's tone was as hard as
rock.
"It's not up to you." Elizabeth's face darkened and said, "I have the final say on your marriage. I won't
allow you to continue your nonsense."
"Do you want to control me and let me be your puppet?" Vinton questioned.
"Are you brainwashed by Essie? I'm your mother. I'll only do it for your good. I won't hurt you. She is
the one who has ulterior motives and wants to drive the three of us out of the Xu family. "
Vinton laughed with unspeakable sarcasm and sadness. "You say you are for my good, but you only
trained me to eat, drink and play and didn't educate me to do something serious. The person who hurt
me in your words is trying to help me, making me feel that I am a useful person. Who do you think I
should believe? "
"Vinton, what's wrong with you?" Elizabeth stood up and banged the table angrily. Vinton was still
smiling, but his smile became colder and colder. "Mommy, have you really cared about me?"
This sudden question stunned Elizabeth. Her hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly. "What do
you mean?"
Vinton didn't ignore this action, and the sadness in his eyes deepened. "You don't know what I like and
what I don't like. You care about my sister ten times, a hundred times more than me. So you have no
right to influence my marriage. " Viton said, shaking his head and walking out.
"Vinton, I tell you, no matter what, you must marry Wendy, or I will break off the mother child
relationship with you!" Elizabeth's trembling voice came from behind.
Vinton stopped but didn't look back. His cold laughter which was full of sarcasm echoed around the
study, "I don't have a mommy." He left, and the laughter remained in the room for a long time.
Elizabeth trembled with anger. 'What a bastard! He is getting more and more unreasonable.' It was all
because of that woman, Eva. She must have colluded with Essie in secret and taught her son badly.
On the Blue Coast, Essie stood in front of the window and looked out at the dark night. She frowned
and looked worried.
Zac walked over and put his arm around her shoulder. "Are you worried about Vinton's marriage?"
Essie sighed slightly. She was worried about Eva. "Elizabeth is afraid of Eva because of me. I'm
worried that she will do something bad to Eva." Elizabeth was ruthless and could do anything, so Essie
had to be on guard against her.
"I will send more bodyguards to protect Eva." Zac said in a low voice.
"Vinton is Elizabeth's trump card. She will definitely not allow him to get out of her control. The reason
why she wants Vinton to marry Wendy is to better control him." Essie said thoughtfully.
"Maybe she can't succeed but lost his son." Zac snorted coldly. Vinton was not a person who would be
obedient to others.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Baron would agree to the marriage." Essie went back to the sofa and sat down.
She picked up the green tea on the tea table and took a sip.
"His ears are so soft. How can he persist himself after being persuaded by Elizabeth?" Zac shook his
head. From the fact that he had indulged the brothers of Elizabeth to make trouble in the Xu Group
again and again, it could be seen that Elizabeth had found his weakness and knew how to control him.
