At Hengyuan Co., Ltd, in the special assistant office of the president. Vinton asked what happened as soon as he came in.
Essie locked the door and drew the curtain. With a strange and cautious look, she said, "I have something to show you."
"What is it?" Vinton raised his thick eyebrows and was a little curious.
Essie didn't immediately answer, but invited him to sit on the sofa and make a pot of Kung Fu tea. She poured a cup and handed it to him, "Has your mother been away from Dragon City for a long time?"
Vinton thought about it carefully and nodded, "Indeed, she had asthma and went to Hawaii to recuperate for a year." After a pause, a fire flashed in his eyes, "Holy was also born at that time."
"Asthma?" Essie sneered, "I should give you a late congratulations. You have two younger brothers in this year."
Vinton was shocked, "Does my father have an illegitimate child outside?"
"It's not your daddy, it's your mommy." Essie took out a folder and opened it. There was a stack of materials and photos in it. "The child's name is Loren Xu, and his Chinese name is Ruifeng Xu. This is his birth certificate in the hospital of Saint Mary in Hawaii. It clearly records the date of birth on December 21, 2004. His mother, Christian Wang, is your mother, his father, Eric Xu, and your uncle."
"Mommy, she and uncle..." Vinton angrily clenched his fist and hit the tea table. Even if she didn't have a good relationship with his father and was lonely, she could have other entertainment methods. How could she hang out with his uncle? It was just a wanton behavior!
Essie took a sip of tea slowly and said, "I used to think that your mother wanted to be the chairman herself just because her desire for power was over inflated, but now I don't think it's that simple. She must have conspired with Bles to get rid of your father and sister, and let your mother be the chairman of the Xu group in your name, and then pass the position to their son, Loren Xu."
"No way!" Xu Wenkang was furious and his eyes were full of hatred. "I knew that John was not that simple. He didn't care about anything on the surface, but even my mother in private. He was so mean, shameless and obscene."
"Calm down." Essie patted him on the shoulder and said, "After all, this is a scandal of your Xu family. Don't spread it unless you have to. Now you have to fight back. They have begun to deal with Cathy. If something happens to her again, you will have to fight alone."
Vinton clenched his teeth and said, "Wait for me." He ran out and came back soon with a big folder in his hand. "This is a copy of the list of people I stole from my mother's safe. There are also evidence that they have taken kickbacks and bribes in the Xu family for so many years. She should want to use these evidences to control them."
"Great." There was a flash of excitement in Essie's eyes. It was time for the Xu family to change their personnel.
She didn't do it on her own. She asked Vinton to do it. For one thing, he was the director of human resources and the future master of the Xu's group which qualified him the most suitable person. On the other hand, she wanted to win his trust and make him believe that Cathy had no idea of seizing power at all.
The first personnel Vinton wanted to change was his assistant, followed by the engineering department and the financial department. Essie reminded him to make a peaceful transition step by step, otherwise it would cause the employees' uneasiness.
However, no matter how peaceful it was, these period of time were destined to be the most restless days for the Xu family.
First, someone jumped off the building to protest, and then Elizabeth came to get even with Vinton. She tried both hard and soft to make him stop the personnel change. But since he learned about the affairs between her and Bles, Vinton was determined to fight against her to the end. The Xu's Group was his. How could he let a little bastard inherit it.
The threat that Essie received was upgraded from verbal threat to article threat. The skinned cat, the decapitated dove and the mouse bone. However, to her surprise, it seemed that the other party just wanted to frighten her and scare her away from the Xu family. They had never taken any substantial harm. Was it because they were afraid of the relationship between her and Zac?
These days, Pana stayed in the villa and didn't go out. She was the first target of the enemy. As long as she, the imposter Cathy was in charge, the enemy would not want to be in charge.
In the lakeside villa, Zac poured a glass of champagne for Essie. "Although you won a small victory this time, don't be too proud. The list that Vinton got may be only a part, and there are still bigger corners that haven't been dug out."
"If you dig at it little by little, you can always dig it out. Nothing can be hidden under the ground for too long." Essie shrugged.
Zac suddenly reached out his hand and put his arm around her slender waist. "There is one thing you have to make clear. You need me. Only I can help you defeat those people."
Essie's face changed a little. She was always clear about this and didn't need him to remind her. She broke off his hand and took two steps back. "You will help me, won't you?"
Zac raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "Why should I help you?"
Essie took a sip of champagne and slowly opened her red lips. "If I'm going to be killed, so I can't give birth to a baby for you." This should be a chip, right?
Zac snorted. This woman was good at finding a reason. "I can consider this, but..."
