"Don't always accuse my mom of the commission. The whole thing was planned by the lawyer and it had nothing to do with my mother." Explained Valery.
"Even if the lawyer played tricks on it, nobody would doubt her if aunt Elizabeth could take the initiative to leave the position to elder brother instead of herself." Essie sneered.
"Vinton is naughty. I'm afraid that he can't take up such a heavy task of the Xu's Group, so I want to help him run it first." Elizabeth gave Essie a stern look and didn't notice that another man was staring at her.
Noticing what was going on, Essie walked up to Vinton and patted on his shoulder. "Auntie, you're wrong. Vinton has been trying his best to get things done. Now the personnel and Resources Department of Hengyuan is well managed. After the new year, I'm going to ask him to manage the Xu's Group together with me. After he gained rich business experience, he could be a capable assistant of Mr. Baron when he wakes up. "
Hearing what Essie said, Vinton was very happy. He smiled at her and turned to Elizabeth. "Well, mommy, since daddy let sister take over the Xu's Group, it means that he trusts her. As a member of the Xu family, we should help her rather than go against her. We shouldn't have done anything harmful to our family's interests by competing against her secretly. Now, it is the most difficult time for the Xu family. We have to unite as one. Otherwise, those who have ulterior motives will easily seize the opportunity. "
Vicki looked at him with a knowing smile on her face. Her grandson had finally grown up.
Eric took a sip of tea and said, "I am in the army base and Calvin is abroad most of our time, and we know nothing about business. The only thing we can do is to respect our elder brother and support Cathy. I'm a soldier. In a word, whether it's a son or a daughter, the Xu family can only be run by someone within the blood of the Xu family. If a outsider dares to fight for it, I will shoot him! "
Obviously, his words were cheering for Essie. A cold shiver ran down Elizabeth's spine.
Essie walked up to him, raised her hands and made a military salute like a soldier, "Colonel, you are awesome!"
Uncle Eric smiled and said, "this little ghost is as clever as it was in her childhood."
After dinner, she took Holy to the garden to have a chat with her cousins.
"What's wrong with the elder cousin? It has been a long time and there is still no news." Said Angel sadly.
"We've sent a company's salvage and diving men to look for river courses for more than a month, but there's no body found. I believe sister is still alive." Said Essie.
"She used to be the most beautiful officer in the special force, and no one could defeat her. Our special forces often carry out all kinds of training in the river, so it's not difficult for her to escape in the water. " Carl analyzed.
"God bless her. She must be fine. Maybe sister will come back the day dad wakes up. " Holy believed that a miracle would definitely appear on Alice.
"The most hateful thing is that the bastard who wanted to kill Alice died. Otherwise, I will have to twist his head off and throw him into the mountains to feed the wild dogs." Carl clenched his fists.
Essie sneered in her mind. The one who died was only a scapegoat, and the real murderer was still beyond the law. However, she would find it out and make sure that this bastard would receive the punishment he deserved.
"I think there must be some people who want to be the Empress Wu? She was so cold blood and don't even care about her relatives. It's normal that she kill her own sons and daughters. " After hearing this, Angel pouted and turned to look at Vinton, saying, "cousin, you should be careful."
A gleam of coldness flashed in Vinton's eyes. Everyone knew that Elizabeth's intention was so obvious that even Angel could see it.
Carl shook his hand and said, "it's impossible for her to be the Empress Wu. But she still have a chance to be the empress. The most important thing is that our cousin can deal with it. We can't let the empress take full control of it."
"Don't think you're stronger than me even though you're the captain of the special forces. When I'm strong, I can kick others our like the leaves are blown by the autumn wind. But you didn't see it." Said Vinton angrily.
Carl smiled and said, "you'd better tell me about your affair with Eva. I'm her fan."
Vinton coughed slightly and cast another glance at Essie secretly. Since Essie was the best friend of Eva, it was impossible for him to cook up a story.
How could not Essie read his mind? She smiled and said deliberately, "It seemed that Eva would become our sister-in-law before long ."
Vinton was quite fond of that, but not for the person who were eavesdropping not far away.
"You are so smart, aren't you? You set up a honey trap and let your bestie stay with my brother. All you want is to take control of him, right?" Valery came over and said to Essie angrily.
With no response, Essie picked up the teacup on the table and slowly drank the tea. She had been waiting for the moment that Valery would irritate Vinton.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Something flashed through Vinton's eyes, and he said with a frown, "what's going on between Eva and me has nothing to do with Cathy."
"If you weren't knocked out by Peter, how would you defend this outsider against Mommy?" Valery almost roared to Vinton in fury. How could his brother be fooled by Essie with a little star? That's insane!
"I focus the issues, not the people. And I will help you if you are right." Leaning against the back of his seat, Vinton looked at Valery coldly and said, "sis, I know you're mad at Cathy because of what happened between you and Zac. But even without Cathy, Zac won't be with you. You're too stubborn."
