The pastry chef they had hired was from Britain. He was simply amazing at making cakes.
With the help of a maid, Valery was walking toward the garden.
Essie spotted her from the corner of her eye but chose to ignore it.
But Valery didn't want to let her go easily. She walked into the pavilion and sat down without asking her anything.
In Valery's mind, she was the future hostess of the family. She thought it was better to already start acting like it and suppress Essie as much as possible.
Essie suddenly fell into a bad mood. The cake did not taste the same today, because the woman in front of her had affected her appetite.
"Don't you feel like this house is a wonderland, since you're such a poor girl? I'm afraid you won't get to enjoy such a good day in a big garden for a long time after this..."
Essie ignored her deliberately. Infuriated but unwilling to argue with her, she took out her phone and started playing a game on it.
The maid poured a cup of fruit tea for Valery. "You know, I can give you enough money to enjoy the upper class life for your remaining days...only if you divorce Zac."
"Miss Valery, my husband has given me a VIP card. I can afford a plane if I want to buy one. What makes you think I am poor?" Essie sneered, finally meeting her eyes.
Valery fell silent. She hadn't expected Zac would have given her a VIP card! Was he really planning to live with her for a long time? In that case, she and her child would lose their status...
"Humph...how naive. Don't you realize he is only interested in you temporarily? When he gets tired of you, you will be dumped back to your pathetic life," Valery remarked with a cunning smile.
"It doesn't matter. At least, I still hold the position of his wife, which is better than a nameless relationship..." Essie maintained a poker face as she played her ace, shutting Valery's mouth.
Essie's blunt words enraged Valery.
"You are forgetting that my son will remain the eldest grandson of this family!" She stared into Essie's eyes fiercely. Her gaze was sharp like a sword.
"Really? What I have heard is that this family is different than yours. They only care about the children of their own wives, and the concubines' are left to rot."
Valery's face flushed. If she wasn't pregnant, she would jump and strangle the little bitch who had dared to threaten her. "And are you fortunate enough to give birth to Zac's child?" Valery could spend all her life trying to make Essie infertile.
"Save your own child first. Protect him from your own bad behavior, otherwise he might get retribution for your evil deeds," Essie commented with her composure unstirred.
