As soon as Alice hung up the phone, she walked out of the washroom. Lucy was waiting for her in the living room.
She had heard about what happened at the general shareholder's meeting. She was afraid that there would be conflicts between the two of them, so she came to the villa of Alice's early morning to persuade her not to fight with Essie for the position of president.
At this moment, Alice hated Essie very much. She wished that Essie could die at once so that the Xu group would be hers.
But she didn't show her feelings on her face, which was full of grievances. "Mom, I don't want to compete with her. I just want to help her run the Xu group. I don't want to burden her too much. But she was afraid that I would get involved in her business. She would always give me some trivial things, and she was always on guard against me. "
She sighed deeply. "But I don't think it's her fault. It's all because of Zac. He was worried that the interests of his family would be damaged when I engaged with Fell, so he deliberately provoked our relationship in front of Essie." She purposely threw Zac out in order to pave the ways for what she was going to say.
"You must have misunderstood. Essie has broken up with Zac. They haven't seen each other for a long time," Lucy said.
"Mom, don't you know that? They have been together secretly all the time. After the general shareholder's meeting yesterday, sister went to the Jade Mountain to meet Zac. She won't leave today. The two of them are going to have a romantic day inside." At the same time, Alice gave a look of pretended astonishment.
Lucy's face twitched violently. "That's impossible. Essie is on a business trip in City C. She will be back tomorrow."
"She lied to you. Now if you are going to the Jade Mountain, you can catch her," Alice said affirmatively.
Lucy jumped up from the sofa. Although she didn't believe that her daughter would still have connection with Zac since she had threatened her with her death, she still wanted to go to the Jade Mountain to find out what had happened. It was always wise to play safe.
There was an imperceptible weird smile on the corner of Alice's mouth, and she was going to watch a huge drama.
The mother daughter of Lucy's team arrived almost at the same time as the mother and daughter in law of Mary's team.
Lucy recognized Mary at the first sight, but Mary didn't because Lucy had a plastic surgery.
"Mary, we haven't seen each other for eighteen years. It seems that we have to get even with each other for the old and new grudges today!" Lucy said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Mary was shocked. She didn't know Lucy, but at the first time she knew Alice, so she soon realized who he was. "Luce Du? Why did you become like this? "
"Thanks to you and Elizabeth!" Seeing her enemy, Lucy's heart was filled with endless hatred.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I'm here for my son." A muscle on Mary's face was twitching violently. She would never admit what happened at that time, not even death.
Lucy was about to speak again, but Alice interrupted her, "Mom, let's go to look for Essie first, and then we'll talk about it later."
Mary snorted, "Like mother, like daughter. Your daughter is just like you. Both of you are evil sluts. My son has already abandoned her, but she still harasses my son all day long. "
Hearing that, Lucy's face turned red in fury. "Your son's heart must be as insidious, hypocritical and vicious as yours. He has no right to be with my daughter."
"Don't worry. My son has already married. My daughter-in-law is much better than your daughter. As long as your daughter doesn't pester him, he won't even take a look at her."
While they was talking, the door opened. It was Zac. He was surprised to see them. "Mommy, auntie, why are you here?"
"I am looking for Essie!" Lucy pushed him away and rushed into the room. Others followed her.
But there was nobody in the living room.
"It must be in the room." As she spoke, Leila rushed to them, but was stopped by Zac. "What are you doing here?" He growled in a low voice, and the cold air suddenly froze the air in the living room.
"Zac, are you with Essie again?" Tears welled up in Leila's eyes.
"So you've put in so much effort just to look for Essie?" Zac snorted, "Who told you that she was here at my place?"
"A woman called me and I didn't know who it was." Leila stammered.
"You believed it when a strange woman called you. Were you insane?" With a sudden shake of his hand, she fell to the ground.
Mary hurried to help her get back on her feet. "Zac, take it easy, Leila was just worried about you."
"Mary, watch your mouth. Don't insult my daughter. Bad guys like you will pay for it sooner or later." As soon as she heard her enemy abuse her daughter, Lucy became furious.
It had never occurred to Zac that the two mothers would get together in such a lively atmosphere. Then he turned to Alice and then to Lucy and asked, "Aunt, who told you that Essie was with me?"
Lucy turned to look at her. "Alice, you received a call from a strange woman and thought Essie was here again, right?"
