Looking at the sparkling waves on the water, Eva felt as if her heart was wrinkled by the wind.
"Do you really think that Holy and Vinton can let go of the past and get along with each other like
biological brothers?"
"Why not?" Essie smiled. "Anyway, they are brothers. They should support each other in the future.
Even if he has a grudge against Elizabeth, it has nothing to do with my brother. "
Eva sighed, "You are also Valery's sister. It's just that you and Valery are incompatible as fire and water,
and there will never be a moment of reconciliation in your life."
Patting her on the shoulder, Essie said, "If my brother were like Valery, you wouldn't fall in love with
him, would you?"
"Of course not. Whoever dares to be with people like them will be doomed for eight lifetimes." Eva
pouted.
"So, if my brother is as cruel and vengeful as Valery, I won't force him to make up with Holy." Essie
picked up a cherry and put it into her mouth.
Holding the coffee cup in her hand, Eva took a sip of the coffee and looked at the lake where the wave
was rippling. She thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Essie, can you tell me the truth? Vinton
and Holy, who do you think will be the leader of the Xu family? "
"Why are you suddenly interested in this matter?" Essie asked, casting a meaningful glance at her.
"Just ask." Eva shrugged her shoulders and said in a casual tone, not wanting to arouse the slightest
suspicion of Essie.
With a playful smile on her face, Essie said, "As for me, I hope you can be the hostess of the Xu family
as soon as possible and take charge of it."
Eva smiled. She didn't care about the position of hostess at all, nor did she care if Vinton could be in
charge. But Elizabeth's words still frightened her. What if Holy became the head of the group and took
revenge on Vinton because of Elizabeth?
Elizabeth was Vinton's biological mother. If Holy wanted to avenge his mother and kill Elizabeth, Vinton
couldn't just sit by. If he stopped, he would definitely have a conflict with Holy. At that time, it would be
impossible to be an idle shareholder as Elizabeth said.
"Essie, have you ever thought that Holy's situation is different from yours. Although you have a grudge
against Elizabeth, it is not a deep-rooted hatred. But Holy is different. Elizabeth has a grudge against
him to kill his mother, which is unforgivable. I guess he will kill Elizabeth and avenge himself with his
mother in a minute. "
Looking at her, there was a strange expression on Essie's face. "Eva, are you worried about your future
mother-in-law?" she said in a teasing tone.
"How is that possible? I don't care about her life at all. I'm just worried about Vinton. I'm afraid that Holy
will hate Vinton and get him involved in the revenge," Eva explained hurriedly.
"You worry too much." With a smile, Essie pointed at the direction of Holy and said, "Don't you see that
he is talking and laughing happily with my brother now?"
Eva glanced at the two people in the cabin. Now Holy was still young, so he would naturally be more
naive. When he was a little older, he might not be sure. Moreover, Holy, who had been bullied since he
was a child, must be more mature than his peers. If what Elizabeth said was true, it would be terrible if
he pretended to be friendly to Vinton and didn't treat him as his own brother at all.
"Essie, if one day Holy and Vinton turn against each other because of Elizabeth, which side will you
take?"
"As long as I am here, such a thing will not happen." Essie said in a firm tone. Then she put her arm
around her shoulder and asked, "Eva, what's wrong with you? You look strange today."
"Nothing. I just think the Xu family is too complicated." A faint smile appeared on Eva's face to hide the
unnaturalness on her face.
"Rich families are all like this. Poor family had a bad luck on almost everything while rich families are
always scheming against each other." Essie said lightly, as if she could see through the world.
"I just want to live a peaceful life with Kelvin. I don't want to get involved in the family strife," Eva said in
a low voice.
Essie sighed slightly. Of course she wanted to do so. However, as soon as she entered the rich family,
she had to do many things involuntarily. Elizabeth and Mary were both people who liked to make
waves. It was destined that Eva, like her, would have ups and downs in endless conflicts between
mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Don't worry. Brother and I will protect you," she comforted.
Eva nodded and held her hand. "Essie, except for Vinton, you are the one I trust most."
"We are good friends. We will soon become good sisters in law and our relationship will become
better." Essie smiled. In her heart, friends and family were always the most important.
In the evening, after returning to his room, Vinton poured a glass of milk for Eva. Before falling asleep,
Eva was used to drinking a glass of milk.
"Vinton, can I ask you something?" Taking a sip of milk, Eva looked a little melancholy.
"What's the matter?" Vinton sat beside her and smiled gently.
"Do you want to be the leader of the Xu family?" Eva's voice was very low, like a breeze passing by.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Vinton put his arm around her
shoulder and looked serious. He loved Eva, so he had to be a person who deserved her. In his opinion,
only by becoming the leader of the Xu family could he really match her. So he had to work hard in this
direction to make her the hostess of the family.
"Will you compete with Holy?" She frowned slightly and felt a little depressed.
"Holy is still a child. When he grows up and has the ability to take over the Xu group, dad will be old.
He won't be so stupid to hand over the Xu group to a young and inexperienced child, will he? " Vinton
smiled lightly, as if he didn't take Holy as a competitor for the family property at all. He believed that as
long as he worked hard and made outstanding achievements, Baron would hand over the Xu family to
him.
Eva leaned her head on his shoulder. As the son of a rich family, how could he not have any ambition
to seize the throne? As his fiancee, it was natural for her to support him and help him, instead of being
a stumbling block to his future.
"Vinton, no matter what decision you make, I will be on your side and support you," she said firmly.
"Don't worry. I will make you the hostess of the Xu family. Essie is the hostess of the Rong family now.
You are her best friend. You can't be worse than her. " Vinton kissed her forehead dotingly. He thought
that what Eva asked was to urge him to work hard to be the leader. He couldn't let her down.
Eva remained silent. She didn't want to be the hostess. She just hoped that Vinton, Essie and Holy
could get along well with each other and that they wouldn't hurt each other.
At this time, Essie and Zac were watching the stars by the lake. The city was far away from here, and
the stars were shining all over the sky.
Essie was a little absent-minded. What Eva asked at the bow today made her a little worried.
After all, after Eva and Vinton got married, they would officially get involved in the disputes of the Xu
family. Her state of mind must be different from before, and she would no longer be indifferent to
anything else.
"Mr. Baron came to see me. He intended to nominated the candidate of his successor, but I dissuaded
him." Her voice was as low as a mosquito's.
"He wanted Holy to be his successor?" Zac asked casually.
Essie nodded. "I don't think it's the right time. On the one hand, Holy is still young. Once he is
determined, he will be the target of public criticism. On the other hand, when my brother hears the
news, he must be very disappointed. Maybe he will turn to side with Elizabeth again. Then all my
previous efforts will be in vain. "
"Your concern is reasonable." Zac nodded slightly. It was not easy for the Xu family to settle down. Now
it was time to recuperate, and they could not afford another round of family struggle.
Lowering her head, Essie sighed, "In fact, in my heart, it's the best for my brother to run the Xu group
with Holy. Holy is still young, and he needs my brother's help. As for my brother, he is gentle, pure and
kind. He needs the decisiveness and sharpness of Holy. They are complementary to each other. "
"You are emotional now." Zac put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Now your relationship with
Vinton has improved, and your best friend Eva has become the sister-in-law. Naturally, you will turn to
them. But don't forget that a mountain can't accommodate two tigers. The leader of the family can only
be one person, and the division of power means division. At that time, there will definitely be two
different camps appearing and constantly fighting for power. "
"But if brother and Eva know Mr. Baron's decision, they must be very uncomfortable, right?" Frowning,
Essie looked as worried as the night around.
"You little fool, are you worried that this matter will affect the friendship between you and Eva?" Zac
said in a low voice.
Picking up a dead leaf at her feet, Essie played with it thoughtfully and said, "I just don't want to see
them disappointed. And now everyone thinks that I have the ability to influence Mr. Baron's decision.
Will they also misunderstand me like this? "
"Mr. Baron has already made a decision in his heart. Your opinion can only provide reference, and it
can't change his decision at all," Zac said slowly. All the people who had been in power for decades
had the ability to see people and things. Vinton was not suitable for the position of the ruler. Baron had
a clear mind.
"Anyway, I will try my best to help my brother strive for it and make him the second largest shareholder
of the Xu group. In this way, I can give him and Eva an explanation," Essie said slowly and clearly.
A smile played at the corners of Zac's mouth. He knew how Essie felt. She cared about friendship and
family affection. She didn't want to lose either of them, but sometimes she couldn't get both of them.
She might be disappointed.
