A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 252 An Unsolved Problem



Chapter 252 An Unsolved Problem

Valery felt so depressed that she almost fainted. She had thought that she would save her love, Purple Love, for the sake of self-appreciation. But she didn't expect that she would give it to someone else so easily.

Sensing something was wrong, Mary tried to lighten the atmosphere. "Valery and Essie used to get along very well with each other in Rong family. They are like sisters. In Valery's absence, Essie missed her very much. She also told me that she wanted to visit her in the Xu family."

Elizabeth added immediately, "Yes, you are right. My daughter, Valery, said that Essie was very nice to her during her stay in the Rong family. So, I have to give her a gift."

Of course, Baron took the hint and sighed, "Albert, you have a good daughter-in-law."

"Zac has always been a rebellious king since he was a child. I can't interfere with his affairs any more. If I interfere too much, he would run away from home, and he won't come back again. So he can do whatever he wants." Patting his shoulder, Albert turned his tone, "Something is predestined. No one can predict the future, in the end, we might still be relatives by marriage." Her words sounded ambiguous and intriguing.

Upon hearing this, Valery felt happy and thought that her future father-in-law had accepted her as her daughter-in-law.

Both Essie and Zac thought that he was comforting Baron to prevent him from being embarrassed, so they didn't take it seriously.

Baron thought so, too. He waved his hand and said, "Valery doesn't have the luck to do that. If Cathy still..." He stopped and didn't continue. Ever since he met Essie at Holy's birthday party, he thought of his other daughter now and then.

Hearing what he had said, Essie couldn't help clenching her fists under the table cloth.

"Dad, why did you mention her? She was thrown out of the house, and she was no longer a member of our Xu family anymore," Valery shouted angrily at her father as he mentioned Cathy in front of her.

"Nonsense. Cathy was never thrown out of the Xu family. She just chose to live with her mother. She will always be a member of our family, my daughter, your sister." Baron said with certainty.

"Daddy is right. Kinship is a mystery. It can't be severed by anything. Cathy will get back to the Xu family someday in the future." Alice chipped in.

At this moment, Essie's internal organs were twisting into a ball, and all kinds of sour, sweet and bitter feelings crowed her chest. But she did not show any emotions, as if she were wearing a mask, and her face was only gentle and quiet. Only her eyes were darker and darker than the night outside the window.

Elizabeth didn't want to waste her time on them. Whether Cathy would came back or not didn't make a difference to her. She wasn't a boy, and she had no right to fight against Vinton for property.

Holding the glass in his hand, Albert clinked glasses with Baron and said, "Cathy was a nice girl. She's smarter than other kids. Now she's grown up and more or less has a problem with her. She'll go home when she's solved."

He was afraid that she couldn't untie it. Baron heaved a sigh, raised his head and took a sip.

With a look of determination on her face, Essie swore to herself that she would never go back to the Xu family again. Her family name was Yi, and she was from Yi family. She had only one father, and his name was Bob Yi.

During the banquet, many people had their own thoughts, but they were all in harmony. After the ring incident, Elizabeth and her daughter could only keep a low profile and no longer talk much. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

When they returned to the Rong Mansion, Albert went upstairs first. Seeing that only Mary was in the hall, Essie walked to her and extended her finger in front of her, "Mommy, I've found Purple Love. Don't worry about it, okay?"

"It's good that you found it back." Mary curled her lips into a pretentious smile. But her heart sank. The little tramp was so shrewd and horrible.

After they went back to the room, Zac pulled his wife to sit on the sofa. He was still waiting for her answer.

Essie smiled.

Maybe Alice had taken Holy back to the villa at this time.

In the afternoon, Holy went to the villa of the Xu family, chatting and playing chess with Mrs. Xu. As soon as she and Elizabeth left, he sneaked into Valery's room, opened the safe and took out the ring.

After going downstairs, he threw the ring at the stairway deliberately so that Mrs. Xu could notice it.

When the old lady picked it up, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Isn't this the Purple Love that Zac gave to our sister? How careless sister is! She didn't even know she it had fallen here!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu would ask, of course. She remembered that Purple Love belonged to Essie.

Holy replied: "Grandma, I heard from my second sister that Zac had taken back sister Yi's ring and gave it to her as a gift for her child."

When she heard this, the old lady was overjoyed.

Holy pretended to be shocked. "Oh, no, if my second sister found that the ring is missing, she will be anxious. I'm afraid that she might think it's lost? If brother Zac knows about it, he must be very angry. Grandma, please send to her as soon as possible."

After hearing him, Vicki called the most loyal servant over and asked him to send the ring to Valery in the tavern.

After telling Zac the plan of cooperation between her and Holy, Essie didn't forget to praise him, "Thank you. If it was not for the bid, you helped sister Alice for the first time, she and Holy would not help me like this."

Zac touched her nose and said, "My little fool, your head is quite useful when you are not confused."

Hearing that, Essie raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, I have an IQ score of more than 160. It's not a blow!"

Shaking his head, Zac smiled, "You are really good at showing off yourself with the slightest compliment!"

With a naughty smile, Essie leaned against the sofa again. After a long silence, she slowly said, "Icy guy, if Cathy didn't leave the Xu family, will you marry her?"

There was a shadow in Zac's face. "Well, why did you mention that moody fairy?"

With a cheeky grin, she placed her arm on his shoulder and said, "I'm just curious? Will you?"

"Of course not." Zac said resolutely.

Hearing that, Essie pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. She said, "If we were in a parallel world where you didn't meet me and Cathy didn't leave the Xu family, what would happen to her when she grew up? She would grow up to be a slender, pretty, gentle, considerate girl. Wouldn't you marry her?"

"Of course not!" Zac said every word clearly and forcefully. He was traumatized by that evil woman. She kept him away from women for so many years and did not allow any woman to touch him. He would never accept her unless that accident happened.

He had almost pushed her to the edge of despair. How could he be so resolute, decisive, ruthless and cold?

"What did she do to you to make you hate her so much?" She was only seven years old then, and no matter how naughty and mischievous the seven-year-old child was, she would never go too far!

Zac flicked her forehead. "You little fool, curious could kill the cat." The past was the deepest and the darkest corner in his heart, and he didn't want to be touched by anyone.

"You two are engaged, she would be your future wife. Whatever she has done to you was not excessive. Besides, she was only seven years old, and was still a child who was naive. You should be generous and forgive her." She rested her hands on her hips and looked at him as if she was preaching.

Zac shook his head. He didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. Was she being kind enough to protect a person who had nothing to do with her?

"Honey, she is your rival in love. If she were in the Xu family, she would have joined hands with Valery to deal with you. She is far more cunning and evil than Valery. You probably can't deal with her." The daughters of the Xu family were so weird one after another. It was better for them to keep away from him.

"No, no, it's not the truth." Essie raised her index finger and shook it. "Sister Alice and Holy are my allies, and she will definitely stand by their side, so she will definitely be my allies as well. How can she be Valery's ally? How can she make friends with Valery? Unless her brain is as blank as mine."

Zac smiled and held her waist. "All right. The topic is getting farther and farther. I'm the only one that can stay in your mind now. Everyone else can be ignored."

Thinking of this, Essie sighed and felt sad for no reason. She wondered what made him hate the childhood self so much. If he knew who she was, would he divorce her without hesitation and not even allow her to be a substitute?

She took off both rings and put them on the night stand. Then she took a shower to calm herself down.

There was nothing else to do. Zac picked up the ring in his hand and played with it. He carefully compared the two rings, and a sharp cold light suddenly flashed through his eyes.

When Essie came out from the bathroom again, he quickly drew her to him and said, "You silly fool, Neither of these two rings is the Purple Love. They are all fake diamonds. Have you been cheated by Valery?"

"Really?" Essie took them over and asked, "But why didn't I find anything different?"

"Of course you can't tell, you have no experience." Zac stroke her head.

"You sounded like you are very experienced. Although Purple Love is yours, there are no devices here. Is there something wrong with the naked eye?" She pouted.

Zac thought that she was worried that if she didn't find Purple Love, she would be blamed by his mother. So he put his arm around her shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry. Mommy doesn't know the truth now. We're secretly looking for it. I'm sure we will find it." The man who dared to steal something from the Rong family was doomed to lose his life! His eyes were glaring with cruelty.

"Oh, gosh, maybe you have mis-evaluated it. It needs a device to identify the real diamond and fake diamond. If the real diamond can be seen with the naked eye, then why does the appraiser need to

do?" She took a closer look at the diamond ring in her hand and took out the other one. "This one is bright and shiny. It must be true."

Zac smiled and shook his head. "My great grandfather started his business with jewelry. He made a rule that every inheritor must be capable of identifying a jewelry. Therefore, even without any tools, I can tell if it's true or false."
