A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 206 Self-Injury Trick

Chapter 206 Self-Injury Trick

Zac came back very late. As soon as he entered the door, Essie walked towards him. Her small mouth opened, revealing a lovely smile.

"Honey, you're back. Are you tired?"

Zac's heart trembled like a plucked string.

In addition to putting on a show of affection, this little fool had never taken the initiative to call him 'honey'.

'Does she a changed woman after upgrading of her brain?'

Before he could respond, she pounced on him like a happy bird, twined her arms around his neck and gave him a hot kiss on his cheek.

He took advantage of this opportunity to hold her in his arms, he was very romantic in front of her.

Mary was taking a walk with Valery in the garden. She frowned at the sight of the two forgetful people in the hall and coughed, "This is in public area. Behave yourself."

It was really a torture for Zac to release the woman in his arms. He hadn't finished yet. Her rarely response made him ecstatic. How he wished she could be melted as part of him instantly.

"Mommy, we will go to our room first," he replied flatly. He then carried her in his arms and carried her upstairs, not even casting a glance at Valery.

Valery was so angry that she wanted to cry. If he had given her one tenth of his tenderness he gave to the little bitch, she would be very satisfied. But he was so stingy, and was reluctant to give her at all.

Mary patted her on the shoulder, "Right now, Zac is young and ambitious. You are pregnant, so you can't accompany him. When the baby is born, you will have the chance."

'Will I?'

Valery wasn't confident in this at all.

When they were in America, she was naked and stood in front of him. He didn't touch her as if he didn't have any feelings for her.

"Mommy, what do you think Zac likes about her?" He was the center of nearly all the girls, no matter in Dragon City or in America. He was always surrounded by beautiful women with yellow skin, fair skin and black skin. But he was like an iceberg living in the north pole, who was cold as ice. People would doubt his sexual orientation if he was not accompanied by Leila.

"She's good at seducing men." Mary's eyes flashed cold light. She won't be the only one who good at seducing men. She would certainly find her an opponent.

Zac walked into the room and put the shy beauty on the sofa. He continued what was happening in the living room.

While he was kissing passionately, a drop of warm tear fell down from her eyes and dropped between his fingers.

He let go of her in a hurry, and a flicker of panic flashed through his eyes. "What's wrong?"

She shook her head, and another drop of tear fell down.

"Is it my mommy and Valery who makes things difficult on you again?" He frowned. If he was not at home, they would unite in two against one. This little fool would inevitably suffer wrongs by them.

"No, I just feel sad," Essie murmured. Then, she sat up.

"Aren't you having a good time with Alice and Holy watching lotus today?" He gently touched her tears and felt a little uneasy.

If this little fool acting abnormally, there must be something wrong.

Essie walked to the window and opened it. A gust of night breeze blew in, ruffling her hair. "The weather is going to change. A storm is coming soon tonight." She looked at the dark sky and muttered thoughtfully.

"Silly girl, when did you become such a sensible person? Don't think too much." He shook his head and sighed, hugging her from behind. "I'm here. What are you worried about? Even if the sky falls, I will support you."

"False friends are worse than bitter enemies. In the past, Baron must have wanted to protect

Holy's mother, but she was still killed by someone." Her words made Zac tremble.

How could he allow such a thing to happen? If anyone dared to hurt his woman, he would destroy his whole family!

"You little fool." He put his arm around her shoulder and made her look at him. "Did Alice say anything to you today?"

"She said nothing." She shook her head. "In this period of time, Elizabeth has been busy helping her son fight for the planning right of the bid, and she has no time to take care of Valery. Valery's little tricks alone is not a big threat. Now the bid is over and Elizabeth is going to shift her attention to Valery. I don't know what a big trouble she will cause in the future."

Zac sighed in a low voice. It seemed that someone deliberately spread the crisis to his wife. "You little fool, Is this what the Alice told you? Aren't your little head upgraded? How you let her influence you?"

Essie sniffed and looked at him with tearful eyes.

'He thought that it was my sister who told me these words?

How deep was he biased against my sister?

I assumed that every time Elizabeth came here, she would speak ill of my sister in front of Mary. He had listened to it too much, so he had a prejudice against her.'

"Icy guy, I know you are worried that I will be used by her to be involved in the power fight of Xu Family, but I have to tell you a secret..." She paused on purpose, and a mysterious smile climbed up the corners of her mouth.

"What secret?" Zac was shocked. His little fool seemed to become a mystery to him.

"The reason why I am willing to maintain the relationship with her is that I also want to make use of her!" She spoke slowly and clearly.

A trace of surprise flashed across Zac's handsome face. "How are you going to use her?"

She didn't answer him immediately, but deliberately keep him in suspense. She went to the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of wine and one of them handed to him.

She swirled the wine in the glass and took a sip. The red color of the wine made her lips more beautiful. "I intend to use Alice to pin down Elizabeth before Valery's baby is born, so that she will be too busy to deal with Valery's matters. No matter how powerful you are, you can't always be with me. I have to learn to protect myself. I don't want to be kidnapped and tortured again, and I don't want to die for no reason like Holy's mother."

She pursed her lips and looked a little sad. "Unfortunately, my plan is to fall through. Alice said that Elizabeth's men had leaked her development plan. This bid is likely to fail, and Elizabeth will certainly grasp the opportunity to hold a board meeting, dismissed Alice from the position of vice president, and let Vinton replace her. After she got rid of Alice, she could pin down all her efforts on me. She's working with your mommy and Valery. I can't even be safe hiding in my house. Maybe I would be killed before Valery's child is born. " She smiled bitterly and drained the cup. This was a self-injury trick. She wanted to bet the value of her as a substitute in his heart.

Although Alice's proposal was copied, it was still attractive and worth investment. In addition, as a long- term partner of the two families, if the project was handled to the Xu Family, the latter would not let the Rong Family suffer any loss.

If she was the best and irreplaceable cannon fodder in his heart, she would probably seize the chance to grab this case for Alice.

If in his heart, she was dispensable. He didn't care whether she was alive or dead, then no matter how hard she tried, she would be in vain.

There was a violent spasm on Zac's face. Here came the deep shadow of the night on his handsome face.

"Stop talking nonsense." He put down the wine glass and held her tightly in his arms. He had tasted the bitter of loss. He had once witnessed his best friend died in front of him. He could not allow such a tragedy to happen again. He would protect her with his life, because without her, his life was meaningless.

"Icy guy, didn't you say that 'A blessing is not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided'? Is it an inevitable curse for me to have you in my life? I can't even protect myself now. Please let me go. I don't want to hate you more before I fall in love with you."

She was lying on his chest and crying bitterly. Her tears burst out like a flood that wet his clothes and burned his heart.

"Trust me, you little fool. I will protect you and no one can hurt you." His voice trembled, and so did his insides.

Essie didn't say another word, but just kept crying, as if she wanted to shed all her tears.

She was really sad, because she was in a sad situation, and because of the man who did not love her but was unwilling to let her go.

She had planned to play two tricks. The self-injured and the beauty's trap. However, she was so devoted to the self-injured scene that she could not act in another tricks in a short time.

She was not in the mood to please him anymore. She had hidden her new underwear.

She decided to play the self-injured trick before the bidding result was announced.

This evening, instead of 'torturing' her, the man also seemed to be in the same depression as her.

The next day, when she woke up, he was no longer beside her.

She went to the garden alone and happened to notice that he was talking about something with Valery.

Could it be that Valery was also here to inquire about the result of the bid?

Then she hid herself quietly behind the rockery.

"Zac, my sister asked me to ask if the bidding results of the CBD commercial city have been decided. I know it's a work business and it's not convenient for me to get involved. But she keeps badgering me, so I have no choice." Valery put on a helpless expression.

Essie snorted in her heart again. It was Elizabeth who asked you to ask this question. My sister wouldn't ask you this favor!

Zac cast a deep and sharp glance at Valery, and said, "The project proposed by Hengyuan Co., Ltd is very similar to that of another company. I've discussed it with my dad, and we both decided to abandon both of them."

"Do you mean that our bidding has failed?" She pouted her mouth and pretended to be sad, but in fact, she was ecstatic in her heart. 'Great! This time Alice was over. She would be blamed for failing the bid. She would have to step down from her position for that. Otherwise she wouldn't be able to soothe the anger of the board of directors. No matter how much her father wanted to protect Alice, he couldn't. She just couldn't bite off more than she could chew and fight with my brother. She deserved it.'

"It's the confidential information of the company until the result is released to the public. You just need to keep it to yourself and do not reveal it to others, not even to Alice," Zac said as a sly light flashed across his eyes.

"I know. Don't worry. I won't tell her." Valery nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face.

And the people hiding behind the rockery was almost collapsed.
