Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 303 If We Are Not A Couple, Then We Will Be Enemies

Vinton was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you know?" Essie pouted, covering her mouth with her hand, pretending to be surprised. "Your

assistant works for your uncle. He works according to your uncle's orders."

"What?" Vinton was so angry that he almost jumped up from the chair.

"Your uncle wants you to be indifferent to anything, so that he can plant his trusted subordinates into

the Xu's Group." Essie continued, "Your uncle has his own son. If he is in charge of the situation, the

person he will take care of is definitely not you. I have heard that he and your mommy are planning to

arrange your cousin to the board of directors. You are the eldest grandson of the Xu family. They don't

want to arrange you to sit on the board of directors, but they only want the eldest grandson of the Wang

family to come in. Why? "

"It's outrageous!" Vinton clenched his fist, didn't they plot to replace him with his cousin? The Xu's

Group belonged to the Xu family. How could it have anything to do with the Wang family!

"I need to talk to my mommy about it." As he spoke, he was about to rush out, but was stopped by

Essie. "It's useless to go there. They will only use a pile of lies to fool you, and you will only alert the

enemy. You'd better pretend that you know nothing and don't ask anything about your assistant."

"Am I going to sit back and wait for death and watch my cousin take my place?" Vinton said, pounding

the table.

"Didn't I tell you last time? You have to find out all the people that your mother and uncle had planted in

the Xu's group and replace them with your own ones. You are the director of human resources, and

your uncle and Mommy won't be on guard against you, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to do it, right?"

Essie said.

After a moment's silence, Vinton looked up at her and asked, "Why do you want to help me?"

Essie smiled and thought, 'It seems that he is not stupid. He just put his foot in the wrong.'

"I'm not helping you." She shook her head, "I'm helping Cathy to get back to America early. I'm helping

myself. You know my major business is clothing design. Now if she's gone, I can also get back to work

on my summer100℃. Third, I'm just helping my best friend, Eva." She paused and looked seriously.

"Mr. Xu, to be honest, you want to marry our Eva, or just for fun?"

"Of course I am serious. I can get our marriage certificate as long as she wants right away," Vinton said

in a serious manner.

"In this case, you should plan for your future. Now that Eva is a popular star, she deserves a successful

president. If you don't have anything to do but keep yourself in the name of a member of a rich and Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

powerful family, then you'll lose everything as long as the Xu family's properties are taken away by

someone else. If she marries you, she will have to earn money to support you," Essie slowly said.

"I'm a man! How could I let her raise me?" Vinton glared at her with displeasure. This was so

frustrating.

"That's why I should give you a hand and some suggestions." Essie's thick eyelashes flickered. "You

are an outstanding student of Columbia University, who is well-educated, talented and promising. How

can't you not manage the family business well? It's just that your mommy and uncle don't want you to

get involved in the company affairs at all. They just want you to be a puppet at the mercy of them. They

just waste your talent."

Her words made him relax again. Vinton puffed out his chest and said, "From now on, I will study hard

on the company's business, and I won't be as careless as before."

Essie gave him a thumbs up. "Eva will be very happy to see you like this."

"Please put in a good word for me in front of her." A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"I will help you if you are serious." With these words, Essie made an 'OK' gesture.

"I am one hundred percent serious." Vinton raised his palm to show his frankness. He had never been

so serious in his life.

As soon as he got off work, Zac came to pick up Essie. "How about eating French cuisine tonight?"

"Okay." Essie nodded.

It was supposed to be a nice dinner time, but as soon as they entered the restaurant, they bumped into

someone they shouldn't have met.

"Zac." Leila's word of calling spoiled the good mood of Essie. She came here with her sister Christina.

When they saw her, both of them showed a long face. Essie was their rival in love.

Seeing that Essie held Zac's arm intimately, Leila was very jealous. It was she who stayed with him for

the past three years. Why did she take him away from her as soon as she came back?

Christina's face was shining with anger. On one hand, Essie still didn't let Zac go even though she still

had a connection with Hanson. On the other hand, she just wanted to make two boyfriends at the same

time. She was so greedy.

"Let's go inside first." Zac nodded to them slightly and then walked into the restaurant with Essie.

Leila took her sister's hand and followed them. As soon as they sat down, she ran over and sat next to

them. "Brother Zac, let's eat together, shall we?"

"Sister." Christina was a little embarrassed.

"Christina, take a seat next to miss Yi. We're all good friends. You don't have to be so polite. Right,

brother Zac?" The smile on her face was so exaggerated so hypocrite.

"Let's eat together." Zac said in an indifferent tone.

Christina had no choice but to sit down next to Essie. It was very reluctantly of her for she didn't like

Essie. It was all because of her that Hanson hadn't accepted her.

Essie remained silent, but in fact, she was also upset, especially when the waiter served the first dish

of appetizer. She felt like this dish of orange goose liver paste, which could last for years but was not

on the list of main dishes.

"Miss Yi." Christina's voice came through from the side. "Are you back with Zac?"

"We are now..." After hesitating for a while, she said the word 'friend'. Zac had said that they were not

even friends, but she really couldn't find a word to describe their current relationship.

A touch of gloom flashed in the eyes of Zac. It seemed that she had no plans to be together with him

again. Was he reluctant to leave Hanson?

"Don't get it wrong, Christina. Hengyuan Co., Ltd and the Emperor have cooperation in Sea City. Only

business matters are involved between brother Zac and miss Yi. Today, they go out for dinner, probably

for business matters." Leila explained, avoiding the possible ambiguity between them.

Zac took a sip of wine and didn't say anything. He was in a bad mood because of Essie's intention to

distance from him. He didn't want to explain. He didn't care what Leila and her sister thought.

With a slight smile on her face, Essie continued, "We are more familiar with each other because of our

working relationships. But now, both of us haven't had our love. So it is possible for us to be together

again." She said these words on purpose to fight against Leila and remind Zac that she was not a

substitute for her. Otherwise, she would destroy her and take the place of her completely.

"A good horse will never turn round to graze on an old pasture. Brother Zac will not do such a degrade

thing." Leila stared at her angrily.

"Didn't he go back together with you once, you old pasture?" Essie sneered.

Leila's face turned red as she was choking. She was not the old pasture. In fact, in Zac's heart, he had

always cared about her and had never broken up with her. Only a person like Essie who had become

his past could be called as an old pasture.

Zac coughed and changed the topic in a hurry, lest the lying gun beside them kept shooting. "Codfish is

very good. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it's cold."

Essie turned her eyes back to the plate in front of her and kept silent.

The air around the dining table became extremely quiet. Then, Leila intentionally talked about their past

with Zac. She wanted to provoke Essie so that she could see that their love could not be replaced.

Essie continued to eat her food, ignoring her words.

On her way back, she looked out of the window and ignored Zac.

When the car stopped at a crossroad and waited for the traffic light, Zac pulled her chin tip and forced

her head over. "Are you jealous of Leila?"

Essie rolled her eyes and said, "Even if you put a jar of vinegar in front of me, and I won't feel sour."

Zac frowned slightly and a hint of gloom flashed through his eyes. At the intersection, the green light

was on. He turned around and started the engine.

The tone of silence gradually spread in the car. After a long time, Zac said in a low voice, "Leila and I

can only be friends all our lives, and we will never be friends with you all my lives."

"Why?" she asked in disbelief. She questioned him. Couldn't he even take her as a friend?

"We have only two types of relationship, husband and wife or enemy."

He said firmly and forcefully.

"Then what's our position now?" She was shocked. When she heard the words 'enemy', a chill rose

from her back.

"I've told you that you're my mistress, and my mistress is my wife's probation period. If I am satisfied

with your performance, I'll permit you to become a regular wife," He said in a slowly but tantalizing tone.

She was a little shy and a little annoyed. "I have never thought of being your wife again. We have

nothing to do with each other except friends."

"You have only two choices. Either a husband and wife or an enemy." His cold voice was full of threats.

"You don't have a third choice?" She felt depressed as if she was facing a dead end. Blade mountain

was in front of her and fire sea was behind her.

"No, you don't." He answered in a ruthless and cold tone. "If you choose to be an enemy, you should

be prepared to live alone for the rest of your life. If you dare to marry another man, you will never have

a better life. I can still find you even if you hide yourself to the ends of the earth." Every word was so

forceful and powerful.

Essie's overwhelming possessiveness of the whole universe had driven her crazy. Why couldn't he let

her go even after they got divorced?
