"I overheard you talking to someone on the phone last night." Alice shrugged. "Can I go with you?"
"Of course." "We're all friends. Since you're back, you should meet them."
Alice was very happy. She had been preparing for the party the whole afternoon. This was the first time they had seen her with such enthusiasm.
She used to be cold and indifferent. She had no interest in anyone or anything. She attended parties only because of the need of social communication. If she could choose, she would rather stay at home to read books and listen to music.
She had locked herself in the cloakroom for a long time, trying all the evening dresses on.
Holy was confused and said, "it seems that she has changed a lot. She is totally different from she was before."
"People will change after they lose their memories. When Zac was amnesiac before, his personality was also different." Smiling, Essie stroked his head.
"I miss my big sister before." "Now she treats me like a stranger. It's so awkward," Holy added, pouting.
"Her brain is capable of self recovery. I believe she will regain her memory soon. Now we need to be patient and take good care of her." To be honest, Essie was not used to this kind of occasion.
Holy was eager to get his sister back as soon as possible.
The party was held in the Phoenix Century Club.
The two sisters of the Xu family entered the stage together. They attracted the attention of all the people present like stars and sparks.
Zac came with Leila. A deep and sharp light flashed in his eyes when he saw Alice. He turned around and walked away. Leila followed him at once.
"Alice, I'm glad you're fine." With a profound smile on his lips, he continued, "the police have searched many times in Dave Village, but they didn't find you. Did you hide yourself out of fear?" He said in a joking tone, as if he was just joking, but his eyes were a little cold, as if he could see through no matter how deep her secret was hidden.
Alice flipped her hair beside her ear, showing a confused expression. "Excuse me, but you are..."
"He is the second son of Rong family, my husband and your ex-brother-in-law." Not waiting for the answer of Zac, Leila stepped forward and interrupted. She was afraid that Alice did not know that she was the current lady of Rong family.
The woman's words surprised Alice. Alice turned to look at Essie and asked, "is he your ex-husband?"
Essie nodded.
Raising her eyebrows, Alice continued, "I don't know that you have been married. Tell me more about you when you have time." She asked with curiosity.
There was a slight smile on Essie's face, but she didn't want to talk much about her own business, especially things about the children. She had specially told Pana and Holy that they couldn't tell anyone about the secret of the children.
"Alice, now you're back, and the Xu group has another person to take care of it. Will your sister feel uncomfortable?" Said Leila in a voice dripping with sarcasm. She used to be a superior queen, and Essie was just a poor sparrow in the slum. However, Essie was splendid and gorgeous, while she became a vulture with Phoenix fur. It was hard to find it out, and all kinds of jealousy and hatred filled her heart. If they fail to make peace with each other and Alice drive Essie out of the company, Leila must feel relieved.
Alice asked in confusion, "I don't know what you're talking about. "
"I mean..." Leila still wanted to sow dissension among them, but was interrupted by the low voice of Zac, "you talked too much." His tone was light but chilly. Leila shivered and shut up immediately.
Giving her a cold glance, Essie held Alice's arm and said, "let's say hello to others." It was better not to talk with someone who was so mean.
Alice nodded and left with her.
Looking at the disappearing figure of grace, Zac' eyes became sharper. With a sneer on her lips, Leila believed that a good show would soon begin in the Xu family.
Seeing that Essie came in, Fell was ready to strike out. But since Zac had walked over, he had to temporarily retreat his steps.
At this moment, seeing that Essie had left, Fell rushed towards them like a tornado, fearing that they would be taken away by others again.
"Cathy, let's go to the bar counter and have a drink." He smiled charmingly and invited her in.
"Okay." Essie said with a smile.
After they sat down at the bar counter, Alice kept her eyes on Fell, as if he was trying to figure out something, or as if she was making fun of him.
Fell didn't notice that. He kept his eyes on Essie.
