Mary would rather die than apologize to Lucy. She thought about it for a long time and decided that the only way now was to play the trick to make herself suffer to buy time.
This time, she didn't ask the servant to help her downstairs. In the middle of her walk, she deliberately twisted her feet and screamed and rolled downstairs.
In order to act the play, she really fell down. After all, she was an old woman. Her forehead was scratched, and her legs were broken. She rolled downstairs and passed out directly. Zac called an ambulance to take her to the hospital.
After the check-up in the hospital, they were assured that there was no cerebral hemorrhage.
"Mommy, why are you so careless?" Leila was filial to her. The two elders of the Rong family parents hadn't accepted her yet. She had to behave well.
"I was thinking about something else and absent-minded for a while," Mary said weakly.
"The new year is coming. It will take you one hundred days to recover for the wound on your leg. Aren't you going to lie here for the new year?" Leila sighed sadly.
"The bad thing come in succession. It doesn't matter. I don't have a good time this year anyway." A drop of tear fell from the corner of Mary's eyes, looking miserable. She had to put on a full play. Otherwise, how could she let Abel forgive her?
"Mommy, have a good rest. Don't think too much," Zac said.
After returning to the mansion, he reported Mary's injury to the two elders and Albert, and then called Essie to her room.
He told her that in today's family meeting, the two elders of the Rong family asked Mary to make an apology to her and her mother.
"We didn't expect that mommy had an accident. Grandpa, grandma and dad have discussed it. Mommy has to pay back what she had owed you in person, but she can't get out of bed at all now. She can only postpone it until she recovers. Please forgive her for this period of time."
Essie knew what he meant. Mary fell so heavily that she didn't expect that she did it on purpose. She just thought it was an accident.
"Mommy and I are fine. What you need to do is to persuade Mili and Dot. They are not ordinary children and have a good understanding of the world. Our opinions can't affect them." On the one hand, her words showed her tolerance. On the other hand, they also told Zac that she and her mother had never encouraged the children.
"I'll talk to the kids tomorrow." Zac put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Come with me to see someone now."
"Who?" Essie was slightly shocked.
"Aren't you investigating the adulterer of aunt Sally?" Zac said casually.
Hearing that, Essie was stunned. She didn't expect that Jay would betray her so soon? Was Zac's subordinate so loyal to him that they even report such a trivial matter to him?
She pursed her lips and said, "Do the young master of the Rong family need to do this kind of thing in person?"
"Honey, your IQ hasn't been improved for a long time. You can't tell important things from trivial things, can you?" Zac glanced at her with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Essie glared at him. The cold war between them hadn't ended yet. She just didn't want to talk to him.
They drove all the way to the secret interrogation room of Zac.
There were also many new 'toys' added in it. Zac really had time to invent and create.
There was a man tied to the interrogation rack. Except for a bruise on his face, the other parts were still complete. It seemed that he hadn't been 'extorted confessions by torture'.
At the first sight, Essie recognized that he was Peri's boyfriend.
"So you kidnapped him here?" She wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Zac winked at Jay. Jay said, "This man's name is Ken, a coach of the Sunshine Fitness Club. Three months ago, he opened a platinum account at a bank and deposited five million dollars cash. Then he hooked up with Mrs. Sally who often came for the workout. A month ago, he hooked up with Peri again. "
After he finished speaking, Zac said slowly, "It's the best way to bring the suspicious person here for trial, in case of him being killed."
"That makes sense!"
