Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 548

His two beautiful thick eyebrows twisted when hearing her words. He took a deep breath from the gap of his teeth, as if somewhere was painful. "Do you think I will care about your company?"

"Why not? The capitalist's pursuit of interests is endless." She frowned and looked at him as if he was a stranger.

He gritted his teeth, and the muscles around his lips were very tense. A malicious and ferocious aura covered his face. "So what? Business is like a battlefield, and I don't need to show mercy. I don't feel guilty about this, and you have no reason or qualification to blame me. "

Elizabeth had hurt his child, and he would never let her go. And he would neve forgive Alice for letting him lose his wife. Taking away the Xu Group was the biggest blow to them.

However, Essie had a different thought. She had already taken herself as the daughter of the Xu family. Even if he didn't know that she was the daughter of the Xu family, she couldn't ignore his coldness, let alone pretend that nothing had happened.

"It turns out that I don't know you at all."

A flame of fury swept over his knitted eyebrows. He stared at her for a long time, and a touch of indescribable sadness and disappointment quickly surged into his eyes. "Essie, are you still saying that till now?"

"I'm just telling the truth." An invisible resentment was spreading in her throat, and her voice became vague.

His chest heaved heavily, and his face was as pale as death. His cold eyes were dark with cold light, and his face was full of gloom and anger. "This can only prove that you are a heartless woman!" He said through gritted teeth. And then he turned around and went upstairs angrily, ignoring her. It seemed that he was extremely disappointed in her and didn't even want to say anything more.

Hiding at the stairway, Mili and Dot peeped at them. As soon as they saw Zac, they rushed into the room to hide, fearing that he would see them.

Tears welled up in Essie's eyes. She fell onto the sofa and couldn't help sobbing. Tears fell down on her collar and soon wetted it.

She didn't do anything wrong. He was the one to blame. It was all her family who had suffered. He had already known the enemy's actions, but he was indifferent. If he could help them at that time, they would not have been hurt.

She had no sense of security when she was with such a cold, ruthless, sophisticated and unpredictable man. If one day he had no feelings for her, he would even sacrifice her mercilessly, regardless of her life and death.

In the room, Mili sighed, "Daddy and mommy have just been together for a few days. Why did they quarrel again?"

"Adults are always like this. They have to fight for the past, the present, and the future. There will always be endless arguments." Dot sat on the sofa, crossed his arms and said seriously.

"Will they make it up?" Mili was very worried. It seemed that her daddy was very angry and didn't mean to coax her mommy.

"They have gone through a lot of ups and downs. They won't be separated for a little thing. At most, they will have a cold war for a while." Dot said thoughtfully.

Mili let out a long sigh. Her parents were a happy couple. One was a fire, and the other was an oil. When they were together, they would definitely burn fiercely.

In the evening, Zac didn't go back to his room but slept in a guest room.

Essie tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She felt like a python stirring in her heart, uncomfortable and resentful.

So she got up and went to the living room to drink.

To her surprise, when she went downstairs, she found that Zac was sitting in front of the bar counter, drinking sulkily. He was obviously more irritable than her.

She lowered her eyes, neither looked at him nor spoke to him. She went straight to the bar counter, took out a bottle of red wine, poured a glass, and drank it up in a gulp.

He glanced at her, grabbed the bottle and cup from her hand and said, "go upstairs and sleep."

"It's none of your business." She jumped up and grabbed the glass from his hand. He frowned and grabbed her waving little paws. "Do you want me to carry you up?"

"I can't fall asleep." She stamped her feet in anger.

An indescribable mischievous look flashed through his eyes. "Stupid woman, do you need a lesson?"

"You deserve a lesson, cold-blooded beast!" She rolled her eyes at him and felt a little sad.

"Can you teach me a lesson?" He snorted, his eyes full of mockery and contempt, looking at her as if she were an insignificant ant.

She was furious. Although it hurt her self-esteem and she was unwilling to admit it, it was true. She couldn't fight against the great devil, so she could only be enslaved and plundered.

"I'm going to sleep." She stamped her feet hard and walked towards the stairway. Suddenly, a huge force came and she was lifted into the air.

It turned out that the big devil rushed over and carried her on his shoulder.

"Let go of me, cold-blooded beast. I'm going back to sleep." She kicked his shoulders with all her strength, but it didn't work at all.

He kicked the door open, walked in and threw her on the bed.
