Elizabeth would not care about him under this situation. She was afraid that the mud would splash on her body. She said, "Butler, I didn't expect you to do such a thing." She pretended to be surprised.
Essie sneered and said, "These are copies. I have handed the original document to the police and your son has been fired by Hengyuan Co., Ltd due to his embezzlement and participation in corruption. Now he is drinking tea in the police station. You will soon go inside to keep him company."
The Butler fell down on the floor.
In the servant's room, Sage was packing up her belongings and preparing to escape. She knew that Essie wouldn't let her go. In the past, she had followed Elizabeth to set up Luce, and now, she was following Valery to frame her. She had committed a crime more serious than that of the Butler. But she didn't know that her only dear son had been sent to the police station.
Someone was doomed to have a bad new year this year.
After the butler was taken away by the police, Essie arrange to bring the old butler, who had been driven away by them earlier, and asked him to supervise and reorganize the servants in the manor. And she changed all security guards as well.
'A cornered beast will do something desperate.' Elizabeth was anxious to find a way to deal with the situation. In order to defeat Essie, the most important thing was to make her lose the support of Zac. Of course it was Mary who could help her.
On the lunar new year's Eve, Essie arranged the family reunion dinner at noon. After that, she went to the Rong family's house.
Rabi ran to her in her arms as soon as he saw her and said, "Mommy, I miss you so much."
"I miss you too, my little baby." Essie hugged him and kissed him on his cheek.
Zac sat on the sofa, poker faced. There was something flickered in his dark eyes.
Essie greeted the elders one by one, then Alena took her to sit beside her. "It is said that 'The rainbow always comes out after the storms'. I believe that you and Zac will overcome the barrier, and will cherish each other in the future."
"Yes, we will." Essie nodded with a gentle smile on her face. She wasn't sure whether they could make it this time, but she didn't want to disappoint the grandma.
Alena patted her hands lovingly. "In the future, if Zac dares to bully you, just tell me and I'll teach him a lesson."
"Grandma, what if she bullies me?" Zac asked her back with a smile.
"That's also your problem." Alena glanced at him, pretending to be annoyed.
"It seems that you don't want your grandson after you have your granddaughter in law." Zac said with a humored smile. It was obvious that he was joking with his grandma.
"I need to care more for my granddaughter in law so that I can have a great grandson as soon as possible," the old lady said with a smile.
"Now that since you have this wish, I'll hurry up and make one for you next year," Zac said with a smile.
