After the nurse gave her the injection, Valery loosened her grip.
"You are insane." Vinton shook his badly bitten hand and shook his head with a sigh. He thought that it was his mommy's fault. His mommy was too soft hearted to treat his sister. Otherwise, his sister wouldn't have suffered so much pain.
After the nurse cleaned and bandaged his wound, he left with Essie.
When they got into the car, Essie sighed and said, "I hope she can recover soon."
Vinton turned his head and gave her a meaningful look, "do you really care about my sister?"
Essie said with a slight smile, "although we have different mothers, both of us are members of the Xu family? We shouldn't have fought against each other. Just as the saying goes, 'when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter.' If we fight against each other, the winner would an outsider. As long as the Xu family is still alive, we can still eat and sleep well even if we are not involved in the affairs of the Xu family. If the Xu family collapsed, we would lose everything. "
"Will the powerful Xu family fall?" Vinton teased, the corners of his mouth quirking up. The Xu family was so wealthy that it would never go bankrupt.
But Essie wasn't as confident as Vinton. "There is one thing that I haven't told you yet. There are people who want to take advantage of this fight to get benefits and annex our Xu family at one stroke. "
"Who are they? Do they want to die?"
"They have a powerful background and have hidden themselves well. Even Zac haven't found them out." Feeling a little uneasy, Essie continued, "Your mommy and uncle Bles' plan this time is likely to be provoked and arranged by them."
"Then will my mommy and uncle Bles know the background of them?" Vinton asked with a frown.
"I don't know." "Even if they know, they won't tell me," Essie added.
"I will find an opportunity to check it." Said Vinton in a low voice.
Essie replied with a nod. In her opinion, the best way to keep invincible was to know oneself and enemy as well as to make clear the identity of his opponent.
In the villa by the lake, Zac was sitting on a deck chair and sipping a glass of red wine.
His neckline was open widely. In the sunlight, his wheat skin and thick pecs indistinctly reflected the perfect and cold face. He was like a god descending from the sky.
Standing at the door, Essie enjoyed it for a long time before he went in. He didn't want to destroy such a wonderful scene.
Zac had already known that she was here. He put the red wine on the table without making any sound and pretended to close his eyes for rest.
"How is your friend now?" His tone was casual.
"Anyway, you are the boss of Eva. Why don't you help her solve the problem?" Essie said with discontent.
"Don't you have my brother-in-law? If I did it on my own, is it necessary for him to protect Eva? " A faint smile played at the corners of Zac's mouth.
On the other hand, Essie nodded her head in agreement. They were determined to give Vinton more chances to improve himself, or else he wouldn't be able to make Eva impressed.
"Valery is in the Gina psychiatric hospital now." Essie sat on the chair opposite him and poured a glass of wine.
"Is she really insane?" Zac said as he raised his eyebrows.
"I planned to lock her up for a few days to frighten her, in case she would do anything to hurt Eva again. But the doctor said that she was really sick and suffered violent depression." Essie swayed the wine glass in her hand, and the bright red liquid in it rippled and dazzled her eyes.
"Treat her as soon as possible." Zac said in an icy tone.
"Think about it carefully. She is a poor woman. She has been loving you for so many years. It was hard to find a chance to set you up and get pregnant. She thought she could marry you, but she didn't expect to make a fuss and carry someone else's baby. Then she pretended to be insane and locked herself up for three years for fear of your punishment. No matter how strong the person is in mental health, he still can't stand it after going through such a series of blows. It's no wonder that she has a mental problem. " Essie sighed.
"Those who are pathetic must have a cause for having sunk to their lows." Zac snorted. It was all her own fault. She would not live like this if she stop hurting others.
"Her tragedy may be caused by her paranoia inherited from Elizabeth." Essie shifted her gaze to the shrubbery outside the terrace, the darkest place in the garden. She said, "in order to get the position of CEO, Elizabeth kept harassing Mr. Baron for nine years. She was like chewing gum sticking to his hair. It was difficult to clear his hair unless his hair was cut off."
"My father-in-law is softhearted, or he wouldn't have suffered today's trouble." Zac took a sip of the wine. His face was cold and deep.
Essie then turned her head and looked at him. She said slowly word by word, "he is not your father-in-law. You only have one father-in-law. His surname is Yi, and his name is Bob."
Zac shrugged. The other result for his being kind was to make his family members hate him, while his enemies happy.
