"I have told you that no woman in this world is qualified to be my wife except Essie. You have no choice but to accept it. My father, grandfather and grandmother love Essie very much, and she has been recognized by our family. Your opinion can be ignored." Finishing his words, Zac turned around and was about to leave. But he was stopped by Mary. "Zac, I have to make it clear today. If you don't divorce her, I won't be your mother anymore."
"Mommy, grandma came to me yesterday. She said she liked her granddaughter-in-law very much. If I was bad to her and made her lose this granddaughter-in-law, she would break off the relationship with me. Do you want to force me to break off the relationship with Grandma by letting me make a choice?" Mary was stunned by his words. He was quick to response. He didn't make a direct choice but tried to suppress her with Alena's words. As Mary was still the daughter-in-law of Alena for so many years and she hadn't become a real hostess, in this family, Alena and Abel were the most powerful. What they said was the royal decree, and no one dared to disobey it.
"Don't worry. I will talk to your grandmother." A lack of confidence could be seen in Mary's eyes. After the fake monk made a fuss in the temple the day before yesterday, Alena was very disgusted with it. Now, if she went to say it again, it was possible to make her angry. But in order to drive away the little tramp, she tried her best. After all, it was a rare excuse, and she couldn't miss it.
After leaving the room, Zac didn't go back to his room, but went to Alena's to give her some advance notice. When Mary came to Alena's in the afternoon, Alena calmly gave her two words: calm down.
During the dinner, Essie sensed something different in the air. Because the disgust in the eyes of her mother-in-law was shown to her, as if she was a nuisance.
She didn't know what she had done to make her angry again. In Mary's eyes, Essie was totally a mistake.
But soon, someone took the initiative to help her.
"Essie, you will be not the granddaughter-in-law anymore." Valery wore an evil smile on her face.
"Really?" Raising her eyebrows, Essie asked, "why didn't I find that?"
"This morning, Mommy went to the Huang Temple to find a Taoist priest and ask him to check you out. You are the extremely evil figure that is rarely seen in a hundred years. The Taoist priest of the temple is famous in Dragon City. He's sure about it. There will never be a place for you to stay in the family. Mommy said that she would hold a family meeting tomorrow to discuss about your divorce with Zac. "
Valery was gloating. Valery thought her mom was really smart. After Valery came back from the temple, she told her mother about her failed plan. And Elizabeth immediately called Mary and asked her to go to the Huang Temple to find a master to make it clear. Then she secretly gave the master a large sum of money, asking him to say bad things for Essie. It was so horrible that Mary's face turned pale.
