Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 102

Finney was feeling absolutely frightened. She picked up her phone, getting ready to call the police. Meanwhile, Essie ran into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife. She thought that if her cousin-in-law failed to deal with him, then she'd be able to scare him away using the knife.

Zac gasped and grabbed the knife from her hand at once, afraid that she would hurt herself by accident. "I'm here. What are you worried about?"

Indeed, he was a very tall man. The strange man was no match for him. Once he caught sight of Zac, he would probably be scared to death.

"Be smart later. If brother-in-law fails to deal with him, you should go out to rescue him." Essie patted him on the shoulder.

"I think he will be fine." After he finished talking, Zac got lost in thought. He had very sharp and keen eyes. It was almost as if he could see all of the secrets hidden in the dark that others couldn't see. He usually never cared about other people's affairs, but Finney was his wife's cousin, so she was also his relative. He tried his best to be kind-hearted when he said, "Finney, have you seen your husband's property certificate for this house?"

"No, he said it was with his mother." Finney shook her head.

"Have you been to his company?" asked Zac.

"No. He forbade me to see him in his company for fear of the bad influence around him." Finney looked at him in confusion and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Essie finally understood what was going on. She might be easily confused about a lot of things, but she understood some things faster than anyone else.

"Let's go out and have a look." Essie opened the door just a crack and looked outside, only to find that Antony and the middle-aged man were gone.

When she walked up to the elevator, she found them sitting in the garden outside.

Then, she made a "shh" gesture to Finney, and they hid themselves behind a pillar.

"This house is nice. We still want to live here, but the rent is too high. Can you lower it a little?" Antony said.

"I still want to raise it. How could I possibly lower it?"

Hearing his words, Essie was shocked again. 'It's just as Zac had predicted. I thought this house had been bought by Antony?' she thought. Was her cousin-in-law a liar?

Finney started trembling with anger, then like a bolt coming out of the blue, she cursed, "Antony, you bastard!" She rushed towards Antony angrily and slapped him across the face.

Perhaps it was because he was too shocked from everything that was happening, or perhaps he was just too stunned from being slapped, but Antony did not say a word for a long time.

Essie asked the landlord if he could just come back later, then she made Finney sit down on the chair to calm herself down. However, Finny could not control herself anymore. She was extremely restless, and she wanted to kill the man in front of her.

"You don't own the house and the car, do you? You're poor. You're not a CEO, am I right?" She then started punching and kicking Antony as she shouted, "You're a liar! Rascal! Bastard! I'll divorce you!"

"Fine, I'll divorce you too. You are a gold digger. Whoever dares to marry you will be doomed," Antony retaliated. He was so annoyed by Finney's beating that he raised his fist and was about to hit her back. However, Zac grabbed his fist mid-air and said, "You are a man, so you shouldn't beat women."

Antony knew that he was not as tall and powerful as Zac and he wouldn't win a fight between them. So he put down his fist awkwardly, clasped his head, and complained, "I have been on more than 20 blind dates. All the girls who looked good would ask me if I had a house and a car. I'm a salesperson. If I do well, I can get over ten thousand a month. But my family is in the countryside and I have a lot of siblings. It's impossible for me to borrow money from my family to pay for the down payment. That's why I came up with this idea. Once we've gotten married and had children, it would be too late for you to go back on your word."

"You're so shameless. You're nothing more than a toad. How could you dream of being with a swan? I must have been blind to be cheated by you." Finney burst into tears.

"I've spent a lot of money on you. I bought everything for you, including food and clothing. If you want a divorce, you have to pay me back for everything," he threatened.

"You are just a rascal," Finney was screaming now. Essie held Finney in her arms and shot Antony a cold look. "Antony, you deceived us. My sister can sue you, and if that happens, now only will you lose all your properties, but you will also have to compensate for wasting her youth on you." Essie said everything she could to frighten him.

Antony knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't say anything more.
