Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 102 You Are A Liar (Part Two)

Finney was feeling absolutely frightened. She picked up her phone, getting ready to call the police.

Meanwhile, Essie ran into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife. She thought that if her cousin-in-law

failed to deal with him, then she'd be able to scare him away using the knife.

Zac gasped and grabbed the knife from her hand at once, afraid that she would hurt herself by

accident. "I'm here. What are you worried about?"

Indeed, he was a very tall man. The strange man was no match for him. Once he caught sight of Zac,

he would probably be scared to death.

"Be smart later. If brother-in-law fails to deal with him, you should go out to rescue him." Essie patted

him on the shoulder.

"I think he will be fine." After he finished talking, Zac got lost in thought. He had very sharp and keen

eyes. It was almost as if he could see all of the secrets hidden in the dark that others couldn't see. He

usually never cared about other people's affairs, but Finney was his wife's cousin, so she was also his

relative. He tried his best to be kind-hearted when he said, "Finney, have you seen your husband's

property certificate for this house?"

"No, he said it was with his mother." Finney shook her head.

"Have you been to his company?" asked Zac.

"No. He forbade me to see him in his company for fear of the bad influence around him." Finney looked

at him in confusion and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Essie finally understood what was going on. She might be easily confused about a lot of things, but she

understood some things faster than anyone else.

"Let's go out and have a look." Essie opened the door just a crack and looked outside, only to find that

Antony and the middle-aged man were gone.

When she walked up to the elevator, she found them sitting in the garden outside.

Then, she made a "shh" gesture to Finney, and they hid themselves behind a pillar.

"This house is nice. We still want to live here, but the rent is too high. Can you lower it a little?" Antony

said.

"I still want to raise it. How could I possibly lower it?" From NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing his words, Essie was shocked again. 'It's just as Zac had predicted. I thought this house had

been bought by Antony?' she thought. Was her cousin-in-law a liar?

Finney started trembling with anger, then like a bolt coming out of the blue, she cursed, "Antony, you

bastard!" She rushed towards Antony angrily and slapped him across the face.

Perhaps it was because he was too shocked from everything that was happening, or perhaps he was

just too stunned from being slapped, but Antony did not say a word for a long time.

Essie asked the landlord if he could just come back later, then she made Finney sit down on the chair

to calm herself down. However, Finny could not control herself anymore. She was extremely restless,

and she wanted to kill the man in front of her.

"You don't own the house and the car, do you? You're poor. You're not a CEO, am I right?" She then

started punching and kicking Antony as she shouted, "You're a liar! Rascal! Bastard! I'll divorce you!"

"Fine, I'll divorce you too. You are a gold digger. Whoever dares to marry you will be doomed," Antony

retaliated. He was so annoyed by Finney's beating that he raised his fist and was about to hit her back.

However, Zac grabbed his fist mid-air and said, "You are a man, so you shouldn't beat women."

Antony knew that he was not as tall and powerful as Zac and he wouldn't win a fight between them. So

he put down his fist awkwardly, clasped his head, and complained, "I have been on more than 20 blind

dates. All the girls who looked good would ask me if I had a house and a car. I'm a salesperson. If I do

well, I can get over ten thousand a month. But my family is in the countryside and I have a lot of

siblings. It's impossible for me to borrow money from my family to pay for the down payment. That's

why I came up with this idea. Once we've gotten married and had children, it would be too late for you

to go back on your word."

"You're so shameless. You're nothing more than a toad. How could you dream of being with a swan? I

must have been blind to be cheated by you." Finney burst into tears.

"I've spent a lot of money on you. I bought everything for you, including food and clothing. If you want a

divorce, you have to pay me back for everything," he threatened.

"You are just a rascal," Finney was screaming now. Essie held Finney in her arms and shot Antony a

cold look. "Antony, you deceived us. My sister can sue you, and if that happens, now only will you lose

all your properties, but you will also have to compensate for wasting her youth on you." Essie said

everything she could to frighten him.

Antony knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't say anything more.

Finney didn't even give her marriage a second thought. She went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce

him in the afternoon, and then she packed her things to live in Essie's for the time being.

That evening, Essie chatted with Finney until midnight. Once Finney was asleep, Essie went back to

her own room.

When she opened the door, she found the handsome man lying on her bed, waiting for her to give him

some love. The outline of his perfect and fascinating face was marked with tenderness and charm as if

he was trying to seduce her.

She swallowed hard to control her erotic feelings. "Are you going to sleep here again?"

"It's for your own good. If Finney sees us sleeping in separate rooms, she will ask your parents about it.

She might even tell your parents about it if she gets worried about you, and they will have to come here

to keep an eye on you."

To be fair, Zac sounded quite reasonable.

That man would never pass up on any chance to bully her.

She leaned against the bedside and picked up a pillow. "Damn it! Antony fooled us. He did not deserve

her. Finney was kind enough to him. If I were her, I would've kicked him until he became a eunuch."

"Yes, she has learned her lesson. She need to be careful next time," Zac said while holding the back of

his head with his hands. She turned her head and shot him a meaningful look. "Ice guy, have you ever

lied to me?"

Under the light, there was something incomprehensible in Zac's dark eyes. "If I have, what would

happen?"

"If it's very serious I will break off all contact with you!" Essie pouted, but her tone was straightforward.

'It's not so bad!' Zac consoled himself in his heart. It's not like he lied to her about marriage or sleeping

together. Neither did he lie about love. It was just a white lie to make her happy.

The air was filled with a moment of silence.

Essie then sat up and stared at him with a very serious look in her eyes. She asked, "Did you really lie

to me about something?"

He gently touched her forehead and said, "You are so silly. If I lie to you, I'm the one who will suffer

great losses."

'Humph! I'm not that stupid,' Essie thought.

Essie wrinkled her nose and lay back on the bed. She was not worried that he was swindling her for

money or sex at all. She was just worried about...

"I heard that the stock has plummeted. Have you lost all of your money?" She was afraid that Zac had

lost all his money and refused to tell her.

"Don't worry. I've already withdrawn my money." A smile tugged at the corners of Zac's mouth. He was

actually the one behind the turmoil and bustle in the stock market, and he was only making use of

others' shares.

Seeing how calm he was, Essie felt relieved.

The recording of the third round of the Beauty on Runway went very smoothly. Sunny had been

warned, and she did not dare to act rashly.

This particular session was not held in the studio. Instead, it was held in a stadium that could contain

10000 people.

'What is this?'

Essie wondered.

'Will something serious happen?'

She and Nicole got out of the car and walked into the stadium. All of a sudden, she was shocked.
