Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 134

"To be honest, I don't believe it either. But after this thing happened, I think it's better to be more careful. The Taoist priest said that as long as a woman was fated to be unlucky, the man by her side would become dazed and lose the ability to judge correctly. It could lead to the failure of his work or business, an undeserved catastrophe, or the damaging of his body. See, Essie was bitten by a snake. Zac sucked out the poison in her blood for her, and as a result, he was the one who probably got poisoned. What happened to him is all because of Essie!"

Elizabeth took a sip of her tea and added, "There is no harm in following superstitions. I'd rather believe them than take a risk. You'd better be careful. After all, Zac is the heir of the family. He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He can't just get any woman he wants. As the hostess of the family, his wife must bring luck to the whole family."

The more Mary listened to her, the more sense it made. The Taoist priest in the temple was really miraculous, and he was right about her son's marriage.

She couldn't even say how disgusted she was at the sight of Essie's face. She didn't like her from the very first time she saw her.

If this woman was harmful to her son, she must do everything to kick her out.

Looking at Mary's serious expression, Elizabeth knew for certain that she didn't like Essie very much. All she needed to do now was use some tricks to get her to do what she wanted, and Mary would make up her mind about driving the little bitch away.

As it turned out, Essie recovered very well. After staying in the hospital for two days to make sure that she was fine, she left the hospital.

When Alice and Holy found out about her injury from WeChat, they immediately rushed to Zac's house to visit her.

The moment Essie saw her sister and brother, she felt very happy. When she called her mother the day before, she wanted to tell her that she had seen her sister, but she was afraid that it would affect her mother's mood, so she had no choice but to hold back her words.

In all of those years, Essie and her mother never mentioned anything about Alice and her family, but Essie knew that her mother always had her sister in her mind because she always looked at Alice's photos in secret. She would be very happy if she knew that her daughter was now living a good life and had even become the deputy CEO of Hengyuan.

Essie took out fruits, desserts, and drinks to entertain her siblings.

"Holy, help yourself."

Holy nodded and put a cherry into his mouth. After eating it, he asked, "Sister Essie, does your leg still hurt?"

"It's okay now," she replied with a smile.

"That's good." He blinked his beautiful big eyes and turned to Zac. "Brother Zac, you have to take good care of sister Essie and never let her get hurt again," he said like a small adult.

Zac smiled and caressed his head lovingly. This little boy had the innocent soul of a child. He might end up being the one who would decide the future of his family. Vinton, the son of Elizabeth, was a typical playboy. All he knew was how to ride a car, show off his wealth, and play with women all day long. No matter how large his family's fortune was, he would use it all up and end up in poverty if he was put in charge of it.

Alice took a sip of black tea and said to Essie, "These days, Elizabeth and her daughter have been causing you a lot of trouble, haven't they?"

Essie shrugged and said, "I have taken the seat that she would do everything to have. Of course she sees me as a thorn in her flesh."

Hearing that, Holy took her in his arms in a hurry with a nervous expression on his little face. "Sister Essie, you must be careful. The evil witch and her daughter are vicious. They must have come up with many bad ideas to hurt you. My mother was killed by them. They wanted to kill me too because they are afraid that I will try to get the family inheritance from them once I grow up. Fortunately, Sister Alice has protected me all this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived."

Hearing that, Essie found herself shocked again. She knew for a fact that Elizabeth couldn't stand Holy and his mother, and she had also guessed that Elizabeth had something to do with Holy's mother's death, but she didn't expect that Holy, himself, knew about it. Oh, how much he hated them since he knew about it!

At the same time, Alice cast a glance in Zac's direction. She had asked Holy beforehand to deliberately say that. Mary and Elizabeth were best friends, so generally speaking, the only thing Zac saw was the hypocritical side of Elizabeth and her daughter. She had to remind him to be mindful of Elizabeth and her daughter's true colors and let him pay special attention to it.

She pulled Holy towards her and said, "Holy, this is our family's matter. You might frighten Essie by telling all of this to her."

"I just wanted to let Sister Essie know their true colors and be on guard against them all the time. They are really bad and evil," Holy said seriously. "Got it. I'll be careful. Thank you, Holy," Essie said with a smile as she stroked his head.

Zac didn't say anything. He knew that Alice had a fierce fight with Elizabeth and her children. But he didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of their family. Nor did he want Essie to be used as a pawn in their fight. However, he didn't expect that Essie was bound to join the war.

The maid brought them some freshly made juice.

"There's peach juice, grape juice, orange juice, and blueberry juice here. Which one would you like?" Essie asked Holy.

"I'd like some grape juice," said Holy.

Essie handed the grape juice to him, and the blueberry juice to Alice.

The moment she did that, Alice's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened up. "How did you know that I like blueberry juice?" she asked.

Essie's body trembled a little again. She hadn't realized what she was doing. As her sister, Essie knew her likes very well, and she had always liked blueberries in everything.

So she had asked the maids to squeeze this blueberry juice for her on purpose.

How could she slip up like that?
