A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 175 Fierce Competition (Part Two)

The photos sent to her through email must have been taken during that ball.

Even an eight year-old child could tell that he was an unfaithful lover.

"I see. So, he didn't behave well when I was away. How should I punish him tonight?" She stroked Holy's head and looked at Zac with a faint smile, but her eyes were cold.

"Punish him by having him kneel on the CPU all day and not allowing him to eat anything," Holy said with a gloating grin. Zac glared at him.

This bloodthirsty little kid kicked him while he was down and tried to sow discord between him and Essie!

Zac reached out his big hand and frantically rubbed his little head.

Holy made a funny face to him, bowed his head, and took a bite of the muffin. Unexpectedly, he said, "Sister Essie, Brother Zac has a first love. Do you have a first love?"

After the smallest of pauses, Essie replied, "Yes, I do." Essie nodded her head deliberately and took a sideways glance at Zac. His handsome face suddenly became cloudy, and the little devil inside him stuck his horns into his heart.

"Is he handsome?" Holy asked.

"Yes!"

"Is he awesome?"

"Awesome!"

"Is he nice to you?"

"He is very nice to me. I'm the one he loves, no one else."

They continued chatting with each other and took no notice of the man with them.

The man picked up his juice box and sucked vehemently to vent his rage.

After hearing Essie's reply, Holy rolled his big black eyes and blinked in confusion. "Then, why did you break up with him and marry Brother Zac? I know Brother Zac is handsome and powerful, but he's too fickle. Besides, he is not faithful to you. Isn't it bad for you to marry him?"

Zac had a sudden mental image of him chucking this little hellion into the lake and was sorely tempted to turn it into reality. To restrain himself, he picked up a black grape and stuffed it into his mouth. "Eat up! If you don't finish all the food on the boat, then we won't go back to the shore!"

He had to seal his troublesome small lips with food.

Essie let out a deep sigh, and her voice trailed off like a comet. "Holy, I love beauty. I love everyone and anything beautiful." She paused, reached out her thin index finger, and tilted up Zac's chin. "I was taken by your brother Zac's handsome face. That's how he managed to make me board his boat."

The corners of Zac's drooping mouth slowly raised up, and a diabolical grin formed on his face. "I can't let any passenger off of this boat until it reaches the destination. Besides, your sister Essie can't swim, so she has no other choice but to stay on this boat obediently for the rest of her life."

His words held a lot of meaning, but Holy was too young to understand. He heaved an adult-sounding sigh and commented, "Love is really a complicated thing."

Zac gently pinched his little ear and growled, "Children should focus on their studies and not mind grownups' business, you understand?"

"I don't care about grownups' business. I only care about my sister Essie." Holy stuck out his tongue at him. After eating a few black grapes, he said, "Brother Zac, my bad sister lives in your house. Does she annoy you every day?"

The little kid knew exactly what his answer was, but he asked anyway.

A touch of gloom flashed across Zac's face. "What do you think, you little devil?" he asked.

"She's a black widow spider who spins a silk web. You won't be able to get rid of her after you get caught in her net." Holy patted Zac's hand sympathetically and changed his tone. "But at this time, the attention of that evil witch would not be focused only on Sister Essie."

"Why not?" Essie interrupted.

"My bad brother came back from America. She is helping him win the bid event for developing the CBD commercial center in City A."

Hearing that, Essie's eyes flashed coolly. No wonder she hadn't seen Elizabeth come to the Rong Mansion to visit Valery these days. As It turned out, she was busy with something more important.

"Who is holding the bidding event?" she asked casually.

"Brother Zac's family." Holy pointed at Zac.

"Well, why don't you play nice with your Brother Zac and ask him to award the development project to your family?" Essie teased while caressing his head.

"I don't know if my dad will hand over this case to my sister Alice or my bad brother." Holy crossed his arms over his chest, pouted, and said, "If dad leaves the task to my bad brother, I won't help him please Brother Zac."

"If your dad leaves it to your sister Alice, then that would be too late for you to please me," Zac said teasingly.

"It doesn't matter. I have Sister Essie. You always listen to her." Holy smirked at him again. Zac knew he was right, anyway. He had promised his wife that he would do anything for her to make up for the days of being harassed by Valery. If he didn't agree with this small request, he might end up having to sleep on the sofa every day.

He pinched Holly's cheek and said, "Well done, you've figured it out."

Holy laughed a little smugly. Men conquered the world, women conquered men. Everything was a food chain.

Essie looked at them thoughtfully.

There was no such thing as a permanent friend or enemy within a business community, only permanent interests. As an investor, the Rong family should consider their prospective developers comprehensively.

She took a sip of juice and asked, "Holy, are the competitors this time powerful?"

"Yes, they are awesome. Even Brother Jim also participated in it. We all want to be the CBD developer," Holy said. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"Looks like there's going to be a fierce competition," Essie remarked in a flat voice. 'If Alice can take charge of this case, I have to help her out; otherwise, my role as the young lady of the Rong family would be pointless.'
