"Essie, I'm your elder after all. Don't make up stories here. You're slinging mud at me." The veins on Elizabeth's forehead were throbbing violently.
"You're good at doing this. It's not the first time. I've kept the evidence. But for the sake of your future daughter-in-law, Eva, I don't want to pursue it anymore. Please stop where it should stop." After saying that, Essie changed her tone slightly, "As for Wendy, in the past, the royal family was most afraid of the relatives of an emperor on the side of his mother or wife to involve in politics, and now the rich families are the same. Aunt Elizabeth, I can understand that you want the relative on your side could get a share of Xu family. Because of our Xu family, your mother's family has been prosperous. Why do you ask too much? There are too many relatives in the group, and it will be difficult for eldest brother to handle
the business in the Xu's group. So it will be better for the grand daughter-in-law of the Xu family to be simple."
This was equivalent to revealing Elizabeth's intention completely. How smart Vicki and Baron were? How could they not know?
Elizabeth was so angry that her mouth almost tilted to the ear. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. What Essie said was to make her lose her mind. She couldn't fall into a trap.
"Our Xu family is a rich and powerful family. Marriage requires a good match. Vinton's wife must be born in a good family. Eva is not only from a single parent family, but also from a poor family. How can she match Vinton? "
With a sneer in her heart, Essie thought she had forgot which slum she was from as soon as she became a mistress. But today, she didn't intend to reveal her past, in case of embarrassing Vinton and Baron.
"Eva did come from a poor family when she was a child. The one who caused her to be in such a situation is her heartless father, York, who only wants to flatter the rich and powerful. He is also your relative, and his another daughter, Shelly, has been chosen by you as your daughter-in-law. Since you don't dislike Shelly, why do you dislike her half-sister? "
Hearing this, Vicki frowned slightly. "If you don't mention it, I almost forget that this girl is the daughter of York."
Baron lit a cigar, took a drag on it and said, "Our daughter-in-law values moral quality, not family fortune. As long as she is clean and upright, everything else is a trifle. It's rare for Vinton to change his mind and want to get married, so that mom can have a great grandson as soon as possible. "
As the leader, he had a long-term view. It was the best thing for the Xu family that Cathy and Vinton got along well with each other. As Cathy's best friend, the marriage between Eva and Vinton would only strengthen the relationship between brother and sister and would not be sow dissension between them by Elizabeth.
Hearing her son's words, Vicki smiled and turned to Vinton, "You'd better hurry up and better to have two children in three years." Obviously, she agreed.
Vinton smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, "Okay, grandma, I will let you have a great grandson as soon as possible." As he spoke, he reached out to hold Eva's hand under the table.
Eva lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't plan to have a baby so soon. But Essie had told her that Vicki was the granddaughter of the Xu family. The most important thing for her after she married into the Xu family was to please her, so she kept silent whatever Vicki said.
Elizabeth clenched her fists and her fingertips pierced into the flesh. She still had many plans. As long as she was there, Eva would never be able to marry into the Xu family as she wished. Valery was connected with her mother. It was impossible for Eva, a bitch, to be her sister-in-law. She had a lot of ways to torture her to death.
Alice remained silent all the time. It was obvious that Elizabeth wanted to help Valery take over the Xu group, which was not good for her. She would benefit a lot from the internal strife between them and Vinton.
What's more, she was most concerned about her marriage with Fell. Baron didn't care about her at all. It seemed that he didn't intend to marry her into the Qin family at all. She found that Essie seemed to have a great impact on Baron. Perhaps he wanted to 'atone for his sin' and let her return to the family, so Baron loved her very much. If Essie could say something to herself, maybe Baron would pay attention to her marriage.
After the party, when Essie was about to get in the car, she quickly came over and held her arm. "Essie, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's take a walk together."
Essie nodded, closed the door and went to a nearby park with her.
"Sister, how are you doing recently?" Essie asked with a smile.
"Not so good." Alice curled her lips. "I think you care about the marriage of Vinton and Eva. I'm your biological sister with the same father and mother. Why don't you care about me?"
With a sigh, Essie said, "I give you my advice. But you think I'm against you, so I have to leave you alone."
Alice sat on the stone bench, picked up a withered leaf on the table and played with it. "I've thought about it these days. You want me to quit the Xu group and be a rich lady who takes care of my husband and children. It's actually good. Women should put their family first."
"It's good that you can think so." A relieved smile appeared on Essie's face.
"It's useless for me to think about it. Every time when it comes to marriage, Fell will try his best to deceive me. What do you think I should do?" Alice lowered her head in frustration.
Essie knew that she had fallen into a dead end. She could only think of no one but Fell. If he continued to suggest her to separate with Fell, it would definitely make her unhappy and the two of them would break up in discord.
Anyway, she was her biological sister. She couldn't just watch her being bullied by Fell without asking.
