A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 473 Who Is The Trouble Maker

Chapter 473 Who Is The Trouble Maker

Zac pondered for a while and said slowly, "If I'm not wrong, this person is your sister, Alice."

A violent convulsion struck her internal organs. "That's impossible. My sister would never do that," she said. She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it either.

"She will soon be the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. If she wants to let the Xu family unite with the Qin family, she has to sabotage our relationship. If I'm not mistaken, the last time your mother came to this villa, it was her who did it," Zac said in a solemn and low voice.

"Anyway, it's just my guess. There's no evidence. Every time I came to the Jade Mountain, I was very careful. How did my sister know?" Essie tried to defend her sister. She hoped that it was Zac who misunderstood her. It was normal for Zac to hold grudge against her sister as a result of the fact that her sister decided to marry Fell.

"Your phone has a GPS tracker, and all she needs to do was just find a technical nerd to check it. Then she will know where you are," Zac said slowly.

"I won't believe it was my sister unless there is evidence. We are siblings. She won't hurt me," Essie said, shaking her head violently.

With a wave of his hand, Zac flicked her forehead. As long as it was related to the family relationship, her brain would have a serious brain fart.

"I just want you to stay alert and be on guard against her."

"I'll keep that in mind." Essie mumbled, "I don't want to compete with my sister. Is profits and power really so important? For their sake, can we ignore the kinship?"

"Remember, I'm the only one you can trust now!" Every word was said clearly and forcefully.

'If not for the benefits of Rong family, do you still have a little sincerity to me?' She thought. They were just an alliance tied up by profits. If not for this benefit, they would probably be like a pair of birds flying to different direction in front of a big trouble.

"I hope you are reliable," she muttered in a very low voice and just talked to herself. But Zac heard it. He frowned unhappily. This woman always lacked trust in him. It was very annoying.

"You will be miserable if I am not reliable." He snorted.

Exactly! He was her backer and the mainstay of her life, so if he insisted on going against her, she might not be able to imagine how she would die.

She forced a smile and said, "Icy guy, we are in the same boat. I totally trust you." She gave him a sugar coated bullet to try to win him over.

A faint smile played at the corners of Zac's mouth. "I hope you're not deceiving me."

His eyes were as sharp as Eagle's, as if he could see through her little secret at a glance. She quickly lowered her eyes to cover her easy to leak out. "I have always been truthful to you. You must have misunderstood me." She smiled, embarrassed.

His handsome face suddenly got close to her, almost touching her. "Only when you are lying under me can you actually be truthful." His voice was so low that only the two could hear it.

His hot breath spread over her face, making her cheeks extremely hot.

Hooligan! Every time she was raped, how could she be willing to do that?

As soon as she thought that her weak spot was seized by him and she would surrender to him in the future, she felt chilly from her back to every part of her body.

"I have to go. My mom will question me when I get home." She sighed, tidied up her clothes and walked outside.

Zac didn't stop her. This place had become a dangerous area and they couldn't meet here anymore.

Soon after she went out, she received a call from Lucy, who asked where she was. She answered perfunctorily. When she just came back from City C and was about to go home, Lucy told her to go to the villa of Alice. She wanted to be the peacemaker and arrange the relationship between the two sisters.

As soon as she came in, she yawned, pretending to be very tired. "Mom, I'm very tired. I didn't sleep well last night," she said.

At the same time, Alice stared at her without a blink. It was clear that her mobile phone was located in Jade Mountain. How could it be possible that she disappeared? She must have been hiding somewhere.

"Essie? Are you really on a business trip to City C?"

"Sister, it's funny. Is there any truth or fake about the business trip?" Essie laughed and looked at her with mocking eyes on purpose.

"I just said that the general shareholder's meeting was just over. You should have a victory banquet," Alice responded in haste.

"Celebrate for what? For me defeating my sister?" There was still smiles on her face, yet her eyes turned more serious.

At her words, Alice's face turned a little bit pale. "Essie, you are not blaming me for it, are you?"

"Sister, you have changed completely since you came back. Sometimes I wonder if you are my sister or not." There was a hint of judgment in her voice. She didn't want to play dumb anymore. She must let her give up the idea of competing for the power, not only for the Xu group, but also for herself.

The corners of Alice's mouth twitched slightly, trying to keep himself calm. "Essie, I also feel that you've changed. Once a person gets in a higher position, she will have greedy desire for power, right? I have never thought of competing with you. I just want to take over the Xu group with you as father wishes. But you never let me get involved in the business. You always give me some trivial things. Am I wrong to return to my position? "

"Sister, the infrastructure construction of the project is very complicated. You have to study hard. Since you want me to hand over a billions project to you, you have to prove to me and the board of directors that you are capable of it by your own ability,"

Essie said seriously. When she just took over the Xu group, she also didn't know anything about it like a piece of blank paper. If it was not because of Zac who had taught her and checked on her, how could she run the Xu group so well?

Her sister was in a hurry for success and deemed investment as a play. As the chairman, she couldn't allow her to do whatever she wanted.

"I can make achievements as long as you give it to me." Alice snorted. She just turned a deaf ear to her words.

"Alright, sister, you can stay home and look after your husband and children in the Qin family

in the future. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Xu group any more. It's good to be a leisurely shareholder." Essie interrupted her with a straightforward tone.

The more Essie said, the angrier she became. She got so mad that she wanted to jump up and choke her to death, but she didn't show her anger. Instead, she threw herself into Lucy's arms and burst into tears. "Mom, did you hear that? She is trying to get me out of the Xu group! She doesn't have any family affection at all. She just takes me as a thorn in her flesh. "

Lucy sighed. "Alice, Essie had been in an extremely difficult situation during this half year. She was assassinated so many times by those bad guys. She has gone through so much to build up the Xu group. You need to understand her. "

"That's why I want to help her. We are sisters of the same father and mother. Do you think we can compare with those outsiders?" Alice, hiding in Lucy's arms, tried her best to squeeze out tears.

"Sister, you have lost your memory. You have forgotten our common enemy. Now you are on good terms with Elizabeth and uncle Bles. Are you planning to ally with your enemy to deal with me, your younger sister?" Essie said bluntly. Now that things had already happened, she couldn't compromise any more. She should give her sister a reminder that she shouldn't let the killer get away with it.

Hearing this, Lucy was shocked. She held Alice's arm and asked, "Alice, is that true? Are you on the same side with Elizabeth?"

"No, she decided to help me because she thought I'm more suitable than Essie to run the Xu group. I know she's our enemy, so I ignored her," Alice explained in a hurry. A trace of queer light was hidden in her eyes.

"That woman was up to no good. She just wanted to stir up trouble between you and your sister. Don't take her for a fool," Lucy said angrily.

There was a deep look on Essie's face. She could tell that her sister hadn't told the truth. She knew very well what kind of person Elizabeth was. She would not do a business at a loss. There must be a

secret between them.

"I know, mom. Don't worry." Alice tried her best to dispel Lucy's misgivings, in case Lucy decided not to support her any longer.

Essie didn't want to say anything more. She held her mother's arm and said, "Mom, I'm so tired after a day's journey. I even haven't had my lunch yet. Let's go home now, okay?"

Lucy nodded, stood up and said a few words to Alice before she left with her.

Alice was peeping out from the window at their backs. Her face turned cold and gloomy.

In the afternoon, Zac went back to the villa by the lakeside.

The look on Leila's face for the whole day was plaintive. When she saw him, she hurriedly hid her feelings and showed a smile. "Brother Zac, you're back."

"If you do this again next time, I will never come back. I don't want to be annoyed," Zac said coldly, as a warning to her.

"I... I was wrong. " Leila lowered her head.

Zac stroked her head and said in a gentle tone. "This is a critical moment. Be good. Don't cause me any trouble."

Leila nodded. Although she was full of doubts about the matter in Jade Mountain, she didn't dare to say a word, fearing that he would be unhappy and abandon her.

A servant brought coffee to him. Zac sat beside her, took a sip of coffee and said, "Is it you who did this to Alice?"

Leila trembled slightly. She bit her lower lip for a long time and then said, "It is... Mommy came up with this idea for me." She told him half frankly. She didn't want Zac to think too bad of her, because she wanted to maintain a pure and harmless image.

"You did a good job." Zac grinned. "This is what my wife should do."

Hearing his praise, Leila was relieved. "Zac, as long as I can help you, I'm willing to do anything."

Zac put his arm around her shoulder. "I have interceded with grandpa and grandma for you. As long as you can successfully sabotage the marriage between Alice and Fell and maintain the interests of our family, they will make an exception to accept you as a granddaughter in law of our family."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Leila was so excited that her eyes lit up and she became gloomy at once. "But it's so difficult. I thought at first that my cousin wouldn't get engaged to Alice because her reputation was ruined. I didn't expect that he could endure such kind of thing."
