Because he had always had a grudge against her when Alice helped her escape to the United States. Therefore, when the Xu group had a crisis and she came to him for help, he not only ruthlessly refused, but also planned to take advantage in the war the Xu family had with others.
If it weren't for him, nothing would have happened to Alice, and he was also one of the accomplices!
"You little fool, trust me. My decision won't be wrong." Zac held her face and looked at her seriously and calmly.
She sneered.
She couldn't imagine how scheming and shrewd he was. She had never understood him.
She foolishly believed him. She regarded him as the sky and the ground. Maybe she would be so naive to count the money for him after he sold her one day.
"From now on, I only believe in myself!" she said word by word resentfully and shook off his hand. She didn't want him to touch her again.
A touch of injury flied into Zac's eyes. The biggest shortcoming of this little fool was not only confusion, but also emotional action. When it came to family affection, his brain would be completely in chaos.
"Essie, think about it carefully. Since Willi dared to let Cherry pretend to be Alice, it means that he might know where the real Alice is. Only when we find him can we find Alice. "
Covering her ears, Essie said, "I don't want to listen to you. I don't want to hear a word of what you say. I want my sister, I want my sister!"
Zac sighed heavily. She was in a fit of anger now. No matter how he explained, she might not listen to him. He could only wait for her to calm down.
However, it was difficult for Essie to calm down this time.
As soon as Zac went to the company, she packed up and went to Phoenix Road. She didn't want to see this liar, the accomplice who hurt her sister. If something really happened to Alice, she would never forgive him for the rest of her life!
Seeing his daughter come in with a suitcase, Lucy's first instinct was that the young couple had a quarrel. Since Mary came back to the Rong Mansion, she began to worry about her, fearing that she would be against her daughter again and hurt her.
"Have you had a conflict with Zac again?" she asked in a hurry.
"No, I'm not. I come and go to breastfeed Dawny every day. I'm so tired. I want to steal some leisure moment and stay here for two days to rest. I will be busy again when the two elders come back in a few days. " A smile appeared on Essie's face.
"You didn't lie to me?" Lucy raised her eyebrows and questioned.
Bob was playing with his grandson on the sofa. When he heard her question, he interrupted, "Don't ask too much. Essie has become the hostess now. She has a lot of things to do. It's normal for her to come back and have a rest."
Lucy glared at him and said nothing. After moving the suitcase into the room and closing the door, Essie lay down on the bed, covered her head with the quilt and cried bitterly.
She felt terrible. Her internal organs were as painful as being cut by a knife. The stuffy air in her chest was expanding like a fire balloon, as if it would burst out at any time.
She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about the worst and the most terrible possibility. She couldn't accept that her beloved sister had died. The most hateful thing was that she couldn't tell the truth to Lucy and Baron, nor could she
use the force of the Xu family to look for her.
The truth was like a sharp knife, cutting her heart into pieces every minute.
She hated herself so much. She hated herself for being useless. She had to rely on Zac for everything. Once he ignored her, she would be like a disabled person with a broken arm and could do nothing.
If Alice was still alive and suffered terrible injuries because of this delay, she would not forgive herself, nor would she forgive Zac. She and Zac were over, their marriage would come to an end!
In the afternoon, Zac called countless times, but she didn't answer. She turned off her phone directly. When Zac returned to Blue Sea and Sunny Sky, he heard from the housekeeper that she was going out with a suitcase, so he rushed to the Phoenix Road.
Not letting her parents notice anything wrong, Essie went out with him into the car. As soon as the door was closed, her face instantly darkened. "You can go now. I don't want to see you now."
"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Zac frowned, feeling depressed and at a loss.
"Zac, tell me if you still have a grudge against my sister for sending me to the United States that year?"
The tone of Essie was very sharp. She looked at Zac with criticized eyes, which hurt his heart. "Essie Yi, we have experienced so much. How can you still question me till now?"
"I just think that you don't want to see my sister on purpose. You want her to have an accident. You are cold-blooded. Her safety is worthless in your eyes, so you are unhurried. That's why you put it aside." Essie roared angrily. She was so angry that she couldn't control her tongue anymore.
Zac hit the steering wheel hard, and his handsome face was distorted with injury and disappointment. "I didn't expect you to look at me like this all the time."
"Am I wrong? If you hadn't stood by coldly, my sister wouldn't have been in trouble. She is my sister, my only sister. If something really happens to her, we will divorce! " She couldn't control her voice. The resentment in her chest was expanding sharply, and her whole body was trembling in excessive excitement.
