Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 134 Sow Dissension

"To be honest, I don't believe it either. But after this thing happened, I think it's better to be more

careful. The Taoist priest said that as long as a woman was fated to be unlucky, the man by her side

would become dazed and lose the ability to judge correctly. It could lead to the failure of his work or

business, an undeserved catastrophe, or the damaging of his body. See, Essie was bitten by a snake.

Zac sucked out the poison in her blood for her, and as a result, he was the one who probably got

poisoned. What happened to him is all because of Essie!"

Elizabeth took a sip of her tea and added, "There is no harm in following superstitions. I'd rather believe

them than take a risk. You'd better be careful. After all, Zac is the heir of the family. He has a heavy

responsibility on his shoulders. He can't just get any woman he wants. As the hostess of the family, his

wife must bring luck to the whole family."

The more Mary listened to her, the more sense it made. The Taoist priest in the temple was really

miraculous, and he was right about her son's marriage.

She couldn't even say how disgusted she was at the sight of Essie's face. She didn't like her from the

very first time she saw her.

If this woman was harmful to her son, she must do everything to kick her out.

Looking at Mary's serious expression, Elizabeth knew for certain that she didn't like Essie very much.

All she needed to do now was use some tricks to get her to do what she wanted, and Mary would make

up her mind about driving the little bitch away.

As it turned out, Essie recovered very well. After staying in the hospital for two days to make sure that

she was fine, she left the hospital.

When Alice and Holy found out about her injury from WeChat, they immediately rushed to Zac's house

to visit her.

The moment Essie saw her sister and brother, she felt very happy. When she called her mother the day

before, she wanted to tell her that she had seen her sister, but she was afraid that it would affect her

mother's mood, so she had no choice but to hold back her words.

In all of those years, Essie and her mother never mentioned anything about Alice and her family, but

Essie knew that her mother always had her sister in her mind because she always looked at Alice's

photos in secret. She would be very happy if she knew that her daughter was now living a good life and

had even become the deputy CEO of Hengyuan.

Essie took out fruits, desserts, and drinks to entertain her siblings.

"Holy, help yourself."

Holy nodded and put a cherry into his mouth. After eating it, he asked, "Sister Essie, does your leg still

hurt?"

"It's okay now," she replied with a smile.

"That's good." He blinked his beautiful big eyes and turned to Zac. "Brother Zac, you have to take good

care of sister Essie and never let her get hurt again," he said like a small adult.

Zac smiled and caressed his head lovingly. This little boy had the innocent soul of a child. He might end

up being the one who would decide the future of his family. Vinton, the son of Elizabeth, was a typical

playboy. All he knew was how to ride a car, show off his wealth, and play with women all day long. No

matter how large his family's fortune was, he would use it all up and end up in poverty if he was put in

charge of it.

Alice took a sip of black tea and said to Essie, "These days, Elizabeth and her daughter have been

causing you a lot of trouble, haven't they?"

Essie shrugged and said, "I have taken the seat that she would do everything to have. Of course she

sees me as a thorn in her flesh."

Hearing that, Holy took her in his arms in a hurry with a nervous expression on his little face. "Sister

Essie, you must be careful. The evil witch and her daughter are vicious. They must have come up with

many bad ideas to hurt you. My mother was killed by them. They wanted to kill me too because they

are afraid that I will try to get the family inheritance from them once I grow up. Fortunately, Sister Alice

has protected me all this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived."

Hearing that, Essie found herself shocked again. She knew for a fact that Elizabeth couldn't stand Holy

and his mother, and she had also guessed that Elizabeth had something to do with Holy's mother's

death, but she didn't expect that Holy, himself, knew about it. Oh, how much he hated them since he

knew about it!

At the same time, Alice cast a glance in Zac's direction. She had asked Holy beforehand to deliberately

say that. Mary and Elizabeth were best friends, so generally speaking, the only thing Zac saw was the

hypocritical side of Elizabeth and her daughter. She had to remind him to be mindful of Elizabeth and

her daughter's true colors and let him pay special attention to it.

She pulled Holy towards her and said, "Holy, this is our family's matter. You might frighten Essie by

telling all of this to her."

"I just wanted to let Sister Essie know their true colors and be on guard against them all the time. They

are really bad and evil," Holy said seriously. "Got it. I'll be careful. Thank you, Holy," Essie said with a

smile as she stroked his head.

Zac didn't say anything. He knew that Alice had a fierce fight with Elizabeth and her children. But he

didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of their family. Nor did he want Essie to be used as a

pawn in their fight. However, he didn't expect that Essie was bound to join the war.

The maid brought them some freshly made juice.

"There's peach juice, grape juice, orange juice, and blueberry juice here. Which one would you like?"

Essie asked Holy.

"I'd like some grape juice," said Holy.

Essie handed the grape juice to him, and the blueberry juice to Alice.

The moment she did that, Alice's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened up. "How did you know that I like

blueberry juice?" she asked.

Essie's body trembled a little again. She hadn't realized what she was doing. As her sister, Essie knew

her likes very well, and she had always liked blueberries in everything.

So she had asked the maids to squeeze this blueberry juice for her on purpose.

How could she slip up like that?

"Oh, I just reached for it casually. Sorry, I didn't ask you first," she replied in a low voice, trying to cover

her sadness with a forced smile. It was such a tragedy that they could not know each other as sisters.

Essie wanted so badly for Alice to recognize her, but she couldn't tell her. She had severed her

relationship with her family. From the moment she left, she was no longer a member of that family, nor

was she Baron's daughter, nor was she Alice's sister.

Besides, when her mother left, she swore that she would never see them again.

Now her mother and stepfather were living a good and happy life. She didn't want anyone or anything

to disturb them and ruin their happiness.

"Don't worry. I like blueberry juice a lot." The light in Alice's eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and

took a sip silently.

Holy walked up to them and sat down. While drinking juice, he said, "I'm turning eight years old this

Wednesday. Would you like to come to my home and attend my birthday party with Brother Zac?"

"I..." She really wanted to celebrate Holy's birthday, but she didn't want to see Baron and her

grandmother for the rest of her life.

Holy's long eyelashes blinked. "I'm holding the party at my sister's house, and only my friends are

invited. My father is in the United States right now, so you don't have to worry that he will ask you about

Valery."

"Okay, we'd like to go." Hearing Holy's words, Essie felt relieved.

Zac blinked his deep black eyes and said in a careless tone, "Essie, you seem to be forgetting that you

have a shooting for the show on Thursday, and you have to start preparing for it on Wednesday."

To be honest, he didn't want Essie to get too close with Alice and Holy, but as he was speaking, Essie

started thinking about what birthday gift she should get for Holy, and she had no chance to recognize

what he actually meant. And even if she had recognized it, she would have ignored it anyway. Holy was

her biological brother, after all.

She smiled and said, "It doesn't matter that I have to participate in the competition. Holy's birthday is

more important."

Holy smiled and when he turned around, he winked at Alice cunningly.

He had a feeling that his birthday party was going to be very lively.

A while later, Zac received a phone call and had to go upstairs to deal with some business. Then, Essie

took Alice and Holy to the garden for a walk.

They stopped in front of a jasmine field and looked at the pure white flowers among the leaves. After a

long time, Alice said slowly, "I have a younger sister who should be as old as you now."

"I'm the only child of my parents. I envy you for having some brothers and sisters in your family. You

always have someone to hang out with and it's always lively." Essie's face was still calm, and her faint

smile concealed all the emotions she was feeling.

"My parents divorced when my sister was seven, and my mother took her with her. I haven't seen them

even once since then. In all the years since they left, I have tried very hard to find them, but I haven't

heard a word about them." She fixed her eyes on some spot in the distance. Her voice was vague and

filled with sadness and confusion.

Essie felt a stabbing pain in her heart, and she plucked out a jasmine flower and smelled it to ease the

uproar of feelings in her heart. "Don't be sad, Alice. You'll meet them again one day," she said.

"Perhaps she still hates me and doesn't want to see me."

"How could that be? You two were so close before that no matter how much hatred there is between

you, you will be able to dissolve it. Besides, she was only seven years old at the time. She was just a

child. Perhaps she didn't even have a concept of hatred yet." She tried her best to comfort Alice as

casually as she could, trying to hide everything she knew from her. Essie's heart was shouting at her to

tell her sister that she had never hated her nor blamed her for anything that happened. The only reason

she ever told Alice she hated her was that she didn't want to be separated from her.

While Essie was thinking, Alice looked at her with sharp and meaningful eyes. It was as if she was

trying hard to figure out something about her. Essie raised her head, looked into her eyes, and smiled.

"What's wrong? Is there anything on my face?" she said, bringing a hand up to her face.

"No, there isn't." The moment she finished her words, Alice turned to look at the garden.

At a nearby path, Zac walked towards them slowly. When Alice saw him, she looked at her watch and

said, "It's late. Holy and I should go now." She waved Holy over, and he ran towards her happily. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Bye, Sister Essie. Bye, Brother Zac. Don't forget to attend my birthday party!" He waved his hand to

say goodbye to Essie and Zac.

Essie nodded with a smile. "OK, see you on Wednesday."

After they left the villa, Holy got into his car and fastened his seat belt. Then he turned to look at Alice

and asked, "Will sister Essie help us deal with those evil witches?"

A complicated expression flashed across Alice's eyes. "Yes, she will," she said as she started the

engine.

In the villa.

Essie sat on the sofa again, picked up the iPad, and began to look for something on the internet. "Zac,

what present do you think I should give Holy?" she asked.

Zac stroked her head and said in a low voice, "Just send the gift. Don't go to the party."

After a short pause, she asked, "Why?"
