Almost at the same time, they looked away, mercilessly splitting their eyes contact, and then drank a mouthful of champagne, borrowing the alcohol to numb the severe pain in the heart.
The action was so tacit as if it had been set in advance. Even if two people were separated from each other, the connection between them would not disappear or change.
Looking at them, Albert sighed deeply. His son suddenly divorced Essie and married Leila. It was so abnormal. He couldn't understand it at all. Most importantly, it was harmful to the Rong family. He believed that his son would understand. He hoped that Zac could be stupid for the moment and that there would be still room for him to reconcile with Essie.
"The Xu family and the Qin family will have a lot of cooperation in the future." Alice opened her mouth suddenly, which broke the peace on the table.
She deliberately reached out and held Fell's arm. Fell was slightly shocked, but he didn't pull his arm out. He just smiled and said, "of course our Qin family is willing to establish a cooperative relationship with Xu's Group."
"What a big surprise!" One of the directors said with a smile. The business was changeable, so was the affection.
"I also didn't expect that the children have grown up and many things are not up to us." Fell's father said with a big smile. He had been hoping that his son could get married with Essie, but he didn't expect that Fell would fall in love with Alice so soon. Whether Essie or Alice was the same good to Qin family.
"I will take over the Xu's Group with Essie together." The gentle and soft words of Alice shocked everyone in the hall. Take charge together? It was a new word. Everyone knew that a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Even relatives would have different opinions and had a dispute.
A deep expression flashed through Zac' eyes. He knew that Alice was not easy to deal with. It was definitely not a coincidence that Alice came back this time. She came here to compete with Essie for power.
"Alice, I heard that you have lost your memory. You'd better pay attention to your health first. Find a brain doctor for you. It's a big problem." He used a dragonfly tone, as if it was a kind care.
Alice raised her eyebrows. "Thanks for your concern, my ex-brother-in-law. I just lost my memory and have a normal brain. It won't affect my working ability. And it was too tired for Essie to manage the Xu's Group alone. The burden is too heavy for her, so of course I should help her with it. "
"It's a good thing to share the burden. Don't make more troubles." Zac's deep eyes reflected a sharp cold light. When Alice felt that he wanted to see through her, she almost subconsciously lowered her eyes to cover her perhaps leaking pupils.
"Fell." She called him in a very low voice and asked him for help. Fell and Zac were sworn enemies to each other. Since Alice was on his side, he would certainly defend her.
"Zac, you are not the son-in-law of the Xu family anymore. They will deal with the affairs of the Xu family themselves. Don't worry."
"I wish you could marry into the Xu family," A unfathomable cold smile drew across the corners of his mouth.
Fell didn't understand what he meant. He snorted and kept silent, glaring at him.
The atmosphere became more tense.
Essie understood what Zac meant bur she didn't believe that Alice had the ambition to usurp her power. In fact, Alice had been in charge of the Xu's Group for Baron for a long time and she was more experienced than Essie. If Alice hadn't lost her memory, Essie would have resigned and handed the company over to her.
However...
She forced herself to calm down and smiled, "during so many years in the Xu's Group, Alice has more experience in management than me and she is more capable than me. She is the most suitable candidate for management in the Xu's Group." As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Alice, "sister, amnesia can be restored through treatment. During this period of time, you'd better find a doctor to examine carefully, and you should regain your memory as soon as possible, so that I can get rid of the burden quickly."
Essie had made up her mind that she would hand Xu's Group over to Alice as long as she got her memory back. But before that, she wouldn't give up. It was also possible for what Zac was worried. Just in case, everything could happen. She had to be extremely cautious.
When Alice heard her, a sinister and cold light flashed through her eyes. "Sister, don't worry. My ability will not be affected by the loss of memory. I will let you see."
Essie nodded with a smile and said nothing. What she worried about was not the ability, but the will. Her mind had totally changed since she lost her memory. Essie didn't know why she would become like this. The loss of memory was not all the reason. Essie was worried that there was really something terrible that she had no idea during her disappearance.
"After the big change in the Xu's Group, the most important thing we need is to be stable. Alice is always a steady person. I'm sure she will put the overall situation above everything." Said Albert with a meaningful look. They needed a stable relationship instead of a fake one.
The underlying meaning behind Albert's words irritated Alice, but she didn't dare to say anything. It was obvious that the Rong family supported Essie. If she wanted to win over the Xu's Group, she had to win the support of the Qin family. Otherwise, she would not be able to achieve her goal.
Zac's sharp eyes were focused on her face, so he observed every subtle expression on her face.
On the way back, the look on Albert's face became serious. "Alice came back in a sudden. I'm afraid that the Xu's Group will suffer a lot again."
"I know." Zac nodded slightly and looked out of the window. The speeding car and the colorful neon made a mess of shadows, and his thoughts became unstable.
He had decided to erase the Essie who had made him upset and depressed from his world. He would no longer care about her matters.
However, as soon as he saw her at the dinner party, he couldn't help but worry about her.
Damn it! He hated this feeling of getting out of control. Now, he would correct everything. As the number one in Dragon City, how could he be controlled by a woman?
Staring at his son in silence, Albert frowned and asked, "are you worried about Essie now?"
