"I really underestimated my mother-in-law." He sneered.
"What do you mean?" Essie's two eyebrows frowned. Of course she knew what he meant.
Zac didn't answer, but said lightly, "My father has asked someone to cancel the case of Jonas. You can
rest assured."
"Zac Rong, you haven't answered me yet. What do you mean by that?" Essie didn't intend to let him
go.
Zac's dark and cold eyes twinkled in the light. "Nothing. It's late. Go back to sleep." Without waiting for
her response, he stood up and went upstairs.
A hint of resentment flashed across Essie's face. When she returned to the room, she didn't say
anything with her back to Zac, and so did Zac.
It was the first time that the room was so quiet in the long night.
Essie was a person who couldn't hide her feelings. She wouldn't die in silence, but burst out in it.
She sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. "Zac Rong, tell me what you should say, or you
won't be able to sleep."
Zac sighed. He knew his wife very well. She wouldn't stop until a problem was solved.
He sat up, walked to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of red wine. After taking a sip, he opened his
thin lips and said, "Daddy has come back from your mother's house and is going to divorce Mommy."
"So you think it's my mother's fault?" Essie sneered. Her tone was like an earthquake lurking at the
bottom of the Pacific Ocean, with surging and gloom before the huge wave came.
Looking at the bright red liquid in the cup, Zac's eyes were as deep as an invisible ancient well. "I just
think that your mother and my father are really close. I'm afraid that one sentence of her is as important
as ten sentences of my mommy. "
"Zac Rong, you don't have to imply. My mother didn't say anything to your father. She just told him the
truth about the past, and I asked her to say so. My mother is a very simple person without any
scheming. She won't harm others behind their backs. She will only be killed. Otherwise, she wouldn't
have been stabbed in the back by your mother, who has always regarded her as a good friend. " Essie
raised her voice all of a sudden.
The muscles at the corners of Zac's mouth tightened, as if he was gritting his teeth. "Is this the result
you want?"
"It's your mommy who has gone too far. My father took Jonas to apologize. It's okay that she doesn't
accept it. What's more, she insulted my mother in front of us and asked her to report her guilt on the
newspaper. I'm curious. She doesn't care about the truth at all. She doesn't care about who the real
murderer is. She only cares about my mother. What's her intention? Did she make up and act the
whole thing? "
Essie's words were like a machine gun, constantly shooting out. Regardless of Zac's mood, she turned
a blind eye to his terrible face.
"My mommy is seriously allergic to peanuts. If the ambulance didn't arrive in time, she would have died
of suffocation. Planning such a thing is equivalent to suicide. Don't you think it is too much to suspect
her like this?"
"It's her behavior that makes people confused, and she meets all the speculations. She knows that
Jonas was working at Focus Restaurant. She knows that you are going to invite us to dinner. She
knows that she is allergic to peanuts, and my mother likes peanuts very much. It's not difficult for her to
make a plan. Isn't that the so-called 'Put oneself in danger and fight for life later'?"
Zac's fingers holding the glass tightened a little. He raised his head and drank up the wine in the glass.
"Essie Yi, I find that as long as it concerns your mother, you will lose your mind and become
unreasonable."
A trace of coldness flashed across Essie's beautiful and stubborn face. "When I left the Xu family at the
age of seven, I swore that I would protect my mother well and never let anyone hurt her! If your
mommy wants to frame me, I can tolerate it, but if she wants to frame my mommy, I won't tolerate it. If
she dares to hurt my mommy, I will go all out! "
"It's not that my mommy is going to frame my mother-in-law. It's that Jonas admitted that it was mother-
in-law who called him. Unless she has sufficient evidence to prove that she didn't call him, she can't get
rid of the suspicion," Zac said in a low voice.
"Who is the real murderer? Just let the police investigate. But your mommy can't wait to sue Jonas.
What does she mean? Does she want to threaten my mommy with him and force her to be wronged?"
Essie snorted.
"So you used my father to threaten her and force her to withdraw the lawsuit?"
Shrugging, Essie acquiesced.
A sharp look flitted across Zac's dark and cold eyes. "Essie Yi, have you known what happened
between your mother and my father?"
Hearing what he said, Essie knew that he had known it. Perhaps he had heard it from Mary, which
must have added fuel to the fire.
"Zac, do you think I should help your mother hide those ugly behaviors in the past and let her deceive
your father for the rest of her life?" Her tone was extremely sharp.
"My mommy has said that it was Elizabeth who did all those things. It has nothing to do with her." Zac
frowned slightly, mixed with a trace of gloom.
With a sneer, Essie said, "You are smart for a whole life and stupid at this moment. Without your
mother, how could a woman like Elizabeth, a dirty nobody, have the chance to approach Mr. Baron?
Without her design, how could Mr. Xu be fooled and have sex with Elizabeth? If it weren't for the
coercion and temptation of the young hostess of the Rong family, even if the doctors of the Dragon City
hospital had one hundred guts, they wouldn't have dared to do a ligation operation for my mother."
Zac fell into silence. He couldn't find a reason to refute her question for the time being, but he believed
that his mother had been used by Elizabeth.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Essie continued, "Your father is so wise. I believe he will judge
whether my mother has wronged your mommy or not."
"A wise man will also be influenced by love and lose his mind," Zac said thoughtfully.
At this time, Essie had an impulse to tell him that the mother he had called for more than twenty years
might not be his biological mother, but she did not have any evidence to prove this. If she said it out, it
would definitely arouse his disgust and think that she was deliberately trying to sow discord between
them. He even thought she was crazy to come up with such ridiculous words.
Before Mrs. Rose regained her memory, she couldn't be impulsive and reveal a word. After all,
everything was possible. If she made a mistake, it would become the target of thousands of people.
Besides, Mary could do anything at all cost. Without any evidence, her arbitrary guess would alert the
enemy. If things went as she expected, Mary would take the risk to hurt Mrs. Rose.
"Zac Rong, it's your business of what you think, but I don't think I'm wrong." She touched her lower
abdomen, with a hint of coldness in her eyes. Mary never treated her as her daughter-in-law. She
always regarded her as a thorn in her flesh. If she wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, she
didn't have to respect her as her mother-in-law. 'If you don't attack me, I won't attack you. If you attack
me, you will pay double.'
Zac turned around and glanced at her. His eyes were deep and intriguing. "Do you hate my mother
very much?"
"You should ask your mommy this," Essie said indifferently.
"My mommy also has her own problem, Zac said in a low voice. If his father and Luce hadn't cheated
on her and hurt his mother, his mother wouldn't have held a grudge against her. She still couldn't let it
go.
"Only she knows what's on her mind." Essie sneered. She must think that Albert didn't love her enough
and was still thinking about other women. But a woman with evil thoughts like her didn't deserve an
excellent man like Albert.
"Essie, do you really want my daddy and mommy to divorce?" Zac looked at her with a study of
judgment and a bit of blame.
As a son, Essie naturally hoped that his parents could live in harmony with each other. But for her,
Mary and Elizabeth deserved the punishment, and they had to pay their debts.
"I'm just telling the truth. As for how to decide, it's daddy's business. I have no right to interfere."
"If this is what you want, then congratulations. You have achieved your goal." There was anger in Zac's
words. He looked at her as if she was the one who destroyed his parents' marriage.
The disappointment in Essie's heart was like the waves. It was the first time that she saw Baron in him.
She used to think that he was different from Baron. He had his own opinions and right judgment, but
now she found that she was wrong. Her mother was right. Once she had an irreconcilable conflict with
Mary, as a son, he would choose to stand on Mary's side. As her wife, she had been ruthlessly kicked
into the bottomless abyss. Even if she was full of grievances, she had no way to make an appeal.
She lay down with her back to him and ignored him. He didn't say anything more. His expression was
colder and silent than hers.
The second day, when she woke up, Zac had left. Perhaps he went to the company, or perhaps he
went to comfort his mother.
She smiled bitterly, packed two suitcases and took the children back to Phoenix Road. In this situation,
they'd better separate for a period of time and calm down.
Mili peeped at her sullen face, covered her mouth and whispered in Dot's ear, "Believe it or not, daddy
and Mommy had a fight. Mommy was angry and wanted to take us back to grandma's home."
"There is such a naughty grandma at home. They can't live a stable life," Dot sighed. They had also
overheard something about Mary and Lucy. Now needless to guess, they knew that their parents were
quarreling over it. Both of them helped their own mother. This conflict seemed to be irreconcilable.
When Lucy and Bob saw their daughter bring the children back, they guessed that she had quarreled
with their son-in-law.
Once the truth of the past was revealed, the Rong family would definitely be shocked. Zac didn't care
about the small quarrels in usual. Once there was a serious problem, he would definitely stand out.
