Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 129 The Fearless Mistress (Part Two)

The pastry chef they had hired was from Britain. He was simply amazing at making cakes.

With the help of a maid, Valery was walking toward the garden.

Essie spotted her from the corner of her eye but chose to ignore it.

But Valery didn't want to let her go easily. She walked into the pavilion and sat down without asking her

anything.

In Valery's mind, she was the future hostess of the family. She thought it was better to already start

acting like it and suppress Essie as much as possible.

Essie suddenly fell into a bad mood. The cake did not taste the same today, because the woman in

front of her had affected her appetite.

"Don't you feel like this house is a wonderland, since you're such a poor girl? I'm afraid you won't get to

enjoy such a good day in a big garden for a long time after this..."

Essie ignored her deliberately. Infuriated but unwilling to argue with her, she took out her phone and

started playing a game on it.

The maid poured a cup of fruit tea for Valery. "You know, I can give you enough money to enjoy the

upper class life for your remaining days...only if you divorce Zac."

"Miss Valery, my husband has given me a VIP card. I can afford a plane if I want to buy one. What

makes you think I am poor?" Essie sneered, finally meeting her eyes.

Valery fell silent. She hadn't expected Zac would have given her a VIP card! Was he really planning to

live with her for a long time? In that case, she and her child would lose their status...

"Humph...how naive. Don't you realize he is only interested in you temporarily? When he gets tired of

you, you will be dumped back to your pathetic life," Valery remarked with a cunning smile.

"It doesn't matter. At least, I still hold the position of his wife, which is better than a nameless

relationship..." Essie maintained a poker face as she played her ace, shutting Valery's mouth.

Essie's blunt words enraged Valery.

"You are forgetting that my son will remain the eldest grandson of this family!" She stared into Essie's

eyes fiercely. Her gaze was sharp like a sword.

"Really? What I have heard is that this family is different than yours. They only care about the children

of their own wives, and the concubines' are left to rot."

Valery's face flushed. If she wasn't pregnant, she would jump and strangle the little bitch who had

dared to threaten her. "And are you fortunate enough to give birth to Zac's child?" Valery could spend

all her life trying to make Essie infertile.

"Save your own child first. Protect him from your own bad behavior, otherwise he might get retribution

for your evil deeds," Essie commented with her composure unstirred.

Valery was shaken by Essie's threat. She couldn't believe what she had said. "How dare you curse my

baby, you lowly woman!"

Essie smiled with the corner of her mouth curled up. "I just want to remind you that everyone reaps

what they sow."

Valery could take it no more. She held her belly with a pale face, her eyes wide with rage. But she

quickly calmed down. She remembered her mother had once told her there was no such thing as

retribution in this world. The law of the jungle was that the weak became prey for the strong. God was

by the side of the strong and stood by them. How else did bad people go on to live forever and good

ones perish?

Whoever dared to block her way, would be killed.

"Count your good days, Essie. It is I who is going to be happy in the end when you will be sniveling in

tears," she said firmly, squinting at Essie with narrow eyes.

Essie snorted and spoke with her eyes rolling, "We'll see who wins!"

At night.

The young people sat on the sofa together, watching the latest episode of Beauty on Runway.

As usual, Zac considerately gave his arm to Essie to rest her head on. At the very sight of this, Valery's

eyes almost popped out. She had no interest in the show. In fact, she detested it. It was because she

wanted to be around Zac that she was putting up with it.

Ivy, on the other hand, was a little disappointed, because her dream lover, Hanson, hadn't come yet.

"Sister Essie, what's wrong with Hanson? Why was he absent from the review? You know what! He is

the new God for the girls in our class. He is so handsome, funny and witty! The appraisal will be boring

if he doesn't come."

Essie quivered internally, but said nothing. The thought of Hanson looking all over Dragon City for her

made Essie's heart ache.

She lowered her head and took a sip of water, trying to distract herself.

"I am not sure about that," she replied lightly. Zac had decided to turn over a new leaf. She didn't want

to piss him off again. Hearing all this talk about Hanson made Zac insecure. He cleared his throat and

glared at his cousin. "Is he as handsome as I am?" he asked. Essie couldn't believe that he would ask

something like that.

"Oh, different type. You are the president, while he is the sunshine type." Ivy puckered up her lips.

Zac rubbed her little head and said, "Work hard, sister. Don't keep dreaming of lovers."

"When I graduate from the university, I will find Hanson and marry him!" replied Ivy excitedly.

Ivy's innocence made Daisy chuckle. "Ivy, he is engaged to Sunny. By the time you graduate, his

children would have grown up!"

"Sunny isn't his type, and all the girls in my class think he doesn't like Sunny at all, because he always

gives her lower scores. And he always gives sister Essie highest scores!" Ivy spoke without a filter,

unaware of a man's cold gaze on her.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
