Looking at the sparkling waves on the water, Eva felt as if her heart was wrinkled by the wind.
"Do you really think that Holy and Vinton can let go of the past and get along with each other like biological brothers?"
"Why not?" Essie smiled. "Anyway, they are brothers. They should support each other in the future. Even if he has a grudge against Elizabeth, it has nothing to do with my brother. "
Eva sighed, "You are also Valery's sister. It's just that you and Valery are incompatible as fire and water, and there will never be a moment of reconciliation in your life."
Patting her on the shoulder, Essie said, "If my brother were like Valery, you wouldn't fall in love with him, would you?"
"Of course not. Whoever dares to be with people like them will be doomed for eight lifetimes." Eva pouted.
"So, if my brother is as cruel and vengeful as Valery, I won't force him to make up with Holy." Essie picked up a cherry and put it into her mouth.
Holding the coffee cup in her hand, Eva took a sip of the coffee and looked at the lake where the wave was rippling. She thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Essie, can you tell me the truth? Vinton and Holy, who do you think will be the leader of the Xu family? "
"Why are you suddenly interested in this matter?" Essie asked, casting a meaningful glance at her.
"Just ask." Eva shrugged her shoulders and said in a casual tone, not wanting to arouse the slightest suspicion of Essie.
With a playful smile on her face, Essie said, "As for me, I hope you can be the hostess of the Xu family as soon as possible and take charge of it."
Eva smiled. She didn't care about the position of hostess at all, nor did she care if Vinton could be in charge. But Elizabeth's words still frightened her. What if Holy became the head of the group and took revenge on Vinton because of Elizabeth?
Elizabeth was Vinton's biological mother. If Holy wanted to avenge his mother and kill Elizabeth, Vinton couldn't just sit by. If he stopped, he would definitely have a conflict with Holy. At that time, it would be impossible to be an idle shareholder as Elizabeth said.
"Essie, have you ever thought that Holy's situation is different from yours. Although you have a grudge against Elizabeth, it is not a deep-rooted hatred. But Holy is different. Elizabeth has a grudge against him to kill his mother, which is unforgivable. I guess he will kill Elizabeth and avenge himself with his mother in a minute. "
Looking at her, there was a strange expression on Essie's face. "Eva, are you worried about your future mother-in-law?" she said in a teasing tone.
"How is that possible? I don't care about her life at all. I'm just worried about Vinton. I'm afraid that Holy will hate Vinton and get him involved in the revenge," Eva explained hurriedly.
"You worry too much." With a smile, Essie pointed at the direction of Holy and said, "Don't you see that he is talking and laughing happily with my brother now?"
Eva glanced at the two people in the cabin. Now Holy was still young, so he would naturally be more naive. When he was a little older, he might not be sure. Moreover, Holy, who had been bullied since he was a child, must be more mature than his peers. If what Elizabeth said was true, it would be terrible if he pretended to be friendly to Vinton and didn't treat him as his own brother at all.
"Essie, if one day Holy and Vinton turn against each other because of Elizabeth, which side will you take?"
"As long as I am here, such a thing will not happen." Essie said in a firm tone. Then she put her arm around her shoulder and asked, "Eva, what's wrong with you? You look strange today."
"Nothing. I just think the Xu family is too complicated." A faint smile appeared on Eva's face to hide the unnaturalness on her face.
"Rich families are all like this. Poor family had a bad luck on almost everything while rich families are always scheming against each other." Essie said lightly, as if she could see through the world.
"I just want to live a peaceful life with Kelvin. I don't want to get involved in the family strife," Eva said in a low voice.
Essie sighed slightly. Of course she wanted to do so. However, as soon as she entered the rich family, she had to do many things involuntarily. Elizabeth and Mary were both people who liked to make waves. It was destined that Eva, like her, would have ups and downs in endless conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Don't worry. Brother and I will protect you," she comforted.
Eva nodded and held her hand. "Essie, except for Vinton, you are the one I trust most."
"We are good friends. We will soon become good sisters in law and our relationship will become better." Essie smiled. In her heart, friends and family were always the most important.
