"I know he endured it, but he must be very unhappy about it. Besides taking advantage of his personal interest, he has no feelings for Alice anymore. If you set up another fire between them, it will burn Alice to death." Zac comforted her while patting her on the shoulder.
"Mommy said that now they are on alert and can't act rashly, they have to think of a perfect plan," Leila murmured.
Zac nodded slightly. "The wedding date is in October. There's still time. Don't worry. You can take your time. You will knock them with one shot next time. After that, Alice won't be able to turn over again. "
"I won't let you down, brother Zac," Leila promised. With the help of Mary, she felt much relieved. If the Qin family found out about it, she would put all the blame on Mary and walk away from it.
In the following week, Essie was busy preparing for her and Hanson's engagement ceremony. Although the demon king looked gloomy every day, the engagement ceremony still had to be held.
The day before the engagement ceremony, she went to Venice Hotel in Yang City with Hanson to observe the site layout.
Although it was only an engagement ceremony, the celebrities from Yang City and Dragon City were invited to attend the engagement ceremony. It was hailed as the 'cross city century engagement party' by the media.
After checking the flower arrangement, Essie was about to go to the pastry shop, but a MMS was sent to her.
In the message, there was a very sexy photo. She seemed to be shocked and suddenly, her phone fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Hanson helped her pick up the cellphone. When he saw the photo on the screen, his body was twisting violently and finally fell down to the ground.
"Essie, you... Let me explain. It's not what you think. " He grabbed the shoulders of Essie and said in fear, "That day, I was so drunk that I didn't know what happened. I didn't know why Christina was with me. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I'm just afraid that you won't talk to me after you know it. "
Essie stared at him. And there was a long silence. It seemed that Christina didn't give up him, just like Ivy. In fact, they were all better than her. No matter which of them he chose, he would be happier than being with her.
They loved him wholeheartedly, but she gave herself to Zac, both her body and heart were incomplete.
She didn't and had the right to blame him. She just wanted him to be happy and have a good marriage.
"Hanson, Christina is pretty good. In fact, you can consider..."
"Essie!" Hanson interrupted her words, his eyes filled with shock and pain. "You don't want me anymore?"
"No, I just feel that I don't deserve you." Essie's face was full of sorrow. If it weren't for her mother's hard word, she would have made it clear to him and she didn't want to waste his time.
"Excuse!" Hanson raised his voice. "You're blaming me. You don't want to forgive me, right?" He fell down to the ground, cupping his head in hands, and his fingers plunged into the thick black hair. He clenched his hair and said, "It's all my fault. Why did I drink? I'm a good drinker. I've only drunk a few glasses, and somehow I've lost my consciousness. Damn it! "
"Hanson." She rushed forward and hugged him. "I didn't blame you, really, it's not your fault at all. I just think that Christina is better than me. I'm incomplete and don't deserve you. "
"She is no match for you. No one can compete with you! In my eyes, you are always the perfect girl," Hanson said in a firm and forceful tone. If it were not because of Zac's swoop in, she would always belong to him, and all the mistakes were caused by Zac.
Thinking of this, Essie felt that her mind was in a total mess. There was a demon in her heart. She was eager to take this opportunity to cancel her engagement with Hanson.
But what she couldn't bear was that tomorrow would be the engagement ceremony. If she suddenly cancelled, it would be equal to slapping Hanson in the face. She couldn't do anything to hurt him, or she would hate herself and feel guilty all her life.
"Hanson, let's forget about it, as if it had never happened. Don't let it affect our engagement ceremony tomorrow." She tried her best to sound calm.
Hanson raised his head to look at her with tears in his eyes. He held her in his arms tightly, not wanting to let her go. "Thank you. Thank you for forgiving me. Essie, thank... Thank you, thank you very much."
Essie sighed. What right did she have to forgive him? It was her who asked for his forgiveness.
In the evening, she went back to the Dragon City alone. According to the local customs, whether it was the engagement or the marriage, the couple had better not meet each other the night before the event.
As soon as she got off the car, she was pulled into his Bentley by Zac.
She was a little panicked. "I'm going home tonight. I can't..."
"I know." He interrupted her in a low and hoarse voice.
"Do you have anything to tell me?" She rubbed her hands, and her heart was a little uneasy and bitter.
He raised his hand and grabbed her by the tip of her chin. "I allow you to get engaged, but I will never allow you to get married. I will never take back what I have said. If you want to marry another man, you can only step over my body! " He said that word by word in a cold, decisive and full of threat.
