Mary changed her strategy this time. Since her son was determined to protect the little tramp, she would turn to Luce, the old tramp. Her son would never protect his mother-in-law regardless of her feelings.
"Mommy, it's time to settle the grudge between you and my mother-in-law. How about you find a time to apologize to her?"
"Apologize? I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize to her? Don't believe her words. It was Elizabeth who hurt her that year. It has nothing to do with me. I helped Elizabeth because I saw that the three of them were pitiful. I didn't expect that Elizabeth would be so cruel to do so many things behind my back. Otherwise, I wouldn't have interfered in these affairs. " Mary said with a heavy sigh deliberately, "I have explained it to the two of them, but they don't believe me and insist on blaming me for all the sins. What benefit can I get from hurting them like this? Because of this matter, your father even brought Minny home to piss me off. I've become a wronged person. "
In fact, Zac didn't want to believe that his mother was the mastermind. After all, it was Elizabeth who destroyed the marriage of Baron and Luce. He knew what kind of person Elizabeth was. She was very likely to use others to kill someone. She must bewitch her mother, alienate her relationship with Luce, use her power of the Rong family to deal with Luce, and then impute all the charges to her mother, letting her take the blame.
However, many years had passed, and Elizabeth had done a lot of things in the name of her mother. It was not easy to clear her grievance.
Seeing that Zac didn't say anything, Mary continued, "in fact, Essie is not a bad girl. I don't believe she did hurt grandma on purpose. It was likely that Luce sow dissension among us and constantly provoked her hatred for me that Essie was confused and took the risk."
"Mommy, let's put aside grandma for the time being. The most important thing now is to find a way to cure grandma."
"If you let it go this time, can you guarantee that your mother-in-law won't cause any other trouble? I heard that she always supported Hanson and didn't allow Essie to be with you. Since she hates me so much, she must seize any opportunity to revenge on me. That's all. " Mary pouted.
Zac shrugged. If it was before, he was still a little worried. But last time, Mary's attitude towards him had changed a lot and seemed to be ready to accept him.
"Mommy, I went to my mother-in-law's house for dinner two days ago. Our relationship has eased a lot."
"She tried to win you over because she felt guilty. You are a smart man. Can't you see that? If she really accepted you as her son-in-law, why didn't she allow you to enter the house? Why did she change her attitude suddenly when your grandma had an accident? She is obviously hypocritical. She doesn't want you to pursue your grandma's matter anymore. " Mary analyzed slowly.
Zac glanced at her and found that his mother-in-law changed her attitude all of a sudden. He was indeed surprised. He guessed that there must be a reason.
"Mommy, I will deal with my relationship with my mother-in-law. Don't worry too much." He comforted her.
"Anyway, she is determined to take revenge on me. Her daughter is my daughter-in-law now. It's easy to hurt me. I might be killed one day." Mary sighed.
"Mommy, you think too much. I know my mother-in-law well. Although she hates you, she can't do anything vicious."
"I used to think that Elizabeth couldn't do anything out of line, but I didn't expect that she still did a lot of little things behind my back." Mary pretended to be extremely nervous. She had made up her mind to put all the previous things on Elizabeth. Anyway, it was a fact. Elizabeth was not innocent at all, and it was impossible to prove her innocence. But she was different. She was not involved directly, and she could still get rid of the blame.
"I'm here. You're my mommy. I'll protect you." Zac held her shoulder to relax her. It seemed that she had suffered a lot from what happened to his grandma. As her son, he had to try his best to comfort her.
After returning home, Zac discussed with Essie and invited his mother-in-law and mother to have dinner together. They put the past grudges on the table, and could figure out who was right and who was wrong.
At the same time, he also told Essie that he thought Elizabeth was the one who started the whole thing and that his mother was just used by her. Essie didn't deny it. According to Elizabeth's situation at that time, she would definitely try her best to use Mary to deal with her mother.
She was good at disguising herself and sowing dissension. At that time, Albert did not completely forget her mother. It was inevitable for Mary to be angry and willing to be her spear.
Although she didn't think it was easy to untie the knot, she couldn't object to Zac's attempt.
She could only try to persuade her mother to attend the banquet.
Lucy didn't want to go, but after the persuasion of Essie, she reluctantly agreed.
Zac booked a private room in Fuji restaurant. Mary arrived first, and Lucy and Essie arrived soon.
"Nice to meet you again, Lucy." Mary greeted with a faint smile on her face.
Lucy knew at a glance that she was faking a smile. This woman was faking it from beginning to end.
Zac poured wine for the two.
"Mother-in-law, mom, I invite you two here this time because I hope you can untie the knot in your hearts and let go of the past grudges."
