A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 934 Destroy The Alliance

Fordidy Landen came to Dragon City to discuss his daughter's wedding. Of course, there was another purpose, which was to help his son-in-law regain the position of successor of the Xu family.

Elizabeth was very happy to have an alliance. Now she needed a capable assistant and a good relative to help her.

After getting off the plane, Fordidy first met Elizabeth in private and the two talked for a long time.

In the Xu family's manor, Fordidy looked at Holy up and down.

It turned out that he was just a teenager and was not a threat at all.

He looked at Essie again.

Elizabeth once said that she was a powerful person. Baron listened to her daughter very much. She had the support of the Rong family, so he should be careful.

However, Ingrid said that she had a good relationship with Vinton, and such a person seemed worthy of him to win over. Becoming an alliance was definitely better than being an enemy.

Baron gave him a list of betrothal presents, and he looked at it with satisfaction.

After all, the Xu group was developing the market in Southeast Asia. The marriage with Fordidy Landen family was helpful for the Xu group's business.

"My Ingrid is a good girl. You will be satisfied with her," Fordidy said with a smile.

"We do like Ingrid very much. She and Vinton is like the old saying in our country that 'A marriage is made by a single red thread connecting the couple who may be a thousand miles apart'," said Mrs. Vicki with a smile.

"It's not easy for Vinton to come back and reunite with us. Don't send him to Southeast Asia. Just stay in the group. If I can't see him for one day, I will feel losing something in my heart," said Elizabeth.

"No, I won't. send someone else to manage the Southeast Asia first, and Vinton will continue to be the vice president," said Mrs. Vicki.

Baron nodded and said, "Let's cure his leg first. It's time for us to prepare for their wedding."

"Yes, we have to hold the wedding before Ingrid's belly gets too obvious. Otherwise, it's not good to hold a wedding with a big belly." Mrs. Vicki nodded slightly.

Holy was playing his iPad. What they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

Fordidy looked at him and smiled. "Baron, your younger son are so young. Do you really believe that you can hand over such a huge family business to him?" he said in a casual tone, as if he just mentioned it casually.

"Fordidy, at that time, everyone thought that something had happened to Vinton, so he made this little child the heir. Now that Vinton has come back, of course we have to reconsider the successor," Elizabeth said.

Baron took a puff of his cigar and glanced at her, "Since the head of the family has been appointed, how can we change it at will? I will check on Holy's performance after he grows up. Holy is so smart that he can take on a great responsibility."

"It's unfair to deprive Vinton of his rights," said Elizabeth.

"In F Island, I will let several sons compete fairly. The one who is more outstanding will be the island owner in the future. I advise you to do the same. Let your two sons compete. The one who is more capable will be the successor," said Fordidy.

"Fordidy, you are here to discuss about the marriage of our children. The problem of the heir is my family affairs. Vinton and Holy are both my sons. I will make a reasonable arrangement. You don't have to worry about them," said Baron. Obviously, he wanted Fordidy not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Xu family.

Noticing his displeasure, Fordidy didn't say anything more. As an outsider, he couldn't tell him about it in public. He had to do it secretly.

Then he made an appointment with Essie alone to sound about her stand.

Last time, Zac said that Fordidy would meddle in the competition for the heir of the Xu family, so Essie had already understood his intention.

"Mr. Fordidy, my elder brother and Holy are both my brothers. No matter who becomes the crown prince of the Xu family, I will support them. I will bias to either side," she expressed her stand firmly.

"So if Vinton becomes the head of the Xu family, you will support him, won't you?"

"Of course," said Essie.

Fordidy took a drag on his cigar and said tentatively, "I heard that your mother used to be the hostess of the Xu family. She was kicked out of the Xu family because of the intervention of Vinton's mother. You must hate Vinton's mother very much, right?"

"I really don't like her, but it doesn't hinder the relationship between my brother and me."

Taking a sip of tea, Essie said slowly, "Mr. Fordidy, you're new here. You don't know much about our family, do you?"

"Miss Xu, please help me understand," said Fordidy.

"When you were in the Xu family's manor, you should have known that the relationship between Mr. Baron and Elizabeth has existed in name only," said Essie slowly.

Fordidy was a little surprised. No wonder he felt there was something strange between the two of them. They were not like a couple at all. They didn't even sit together.

"They are going to divorce?"

"Mr. Baron has always been planning on this." Essie said, "You won't know that in fact, nearly two years ago, my brother had the chance to be the leader of the Xu family, but unfortunately, his mother wanted to be the Empress Wu and pulled him down."

"How could it be?" Fordidy trembled violently.

"At that time, the Xu group encountered a crisis and Mr. Baron was in a coma. Elizabeth colluded with a lawyer to forge a fake commission to monopolize the Xu group," said Essie.

"Is a woman so ambitious?" Fordidy frowned.

"She did it not only for herself, but for her illegitimate child outside," said Essie.

"What?" Fordidy almost jumped up from the sofa.

"Originally, this family scandal cannot be publicized, but you are also the relative of our Xu family, so it doesn't matter to tell you." Taking a sip of green tea, Essie continued, "Mr. Baron have a half-brother, my uncle Bles. Elizabeth and my uncle Bles committed adultery and gave birth to an illegitimate child, who is kept in the United States. It's impossible for her to let my brother take charge of the Xu group. Her purpose is to occupy the Xu group through my brother, and then let her and my uncle Bles' illegitimate children inherit it."

"I can't believe there is such a thing in the world. This woman is so hateful, isn't she? Isn't Vinton her own son?" said Fordidy.

"She didn't treat my brother well since he was a child. She doesn't look like his biological mother at all, so the relationship between my brother and his mother is very light," said Essie. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"My brother is a very capable and excellent man. The reason why Mr. Baron doesn't intend to change the successor is that he is afraid of Elizabeth would control my brother. He is afraid that my brother will be used by Elizabeth and the Xu group will fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Mr. Fordidy, you speak Chinese so well that you should know something about Chinese culture and history. There is a famous female emperor in China called Empress Wu. She took over the Tang kingdom from her son and became the emperor herself."

"Besides, there is a Chinese saying that the son are valued by the mothers. If a husband likes his wife, he will like the son of his wife. If he hates his wife, he will also hate his wife's child. I've told my brother that he'd better keep a distance from Elizabeth in case he gets involved."

The reason why Essie said so was that she wanted to destroy the alliance between him and Elizabeth. If she guessed right, Fordidy must have secretly plotted with Elizabeth. She had to make Fordidy hate Elizabeth, so that the two of them could not be together.

After a long silence, Fordidy said in a low voice, "Women in your country are very powerful. Women in our country can't do so much."

"China is a democratic country. We value gender equality," said Essie.

"It's not good to give women too much power." Fordidy pouted.

"Mr. Fordidy, you need to know that half of the world is created by women," said Essie with a smile.

"I heard that Miss Xu is a very powerful person." Fordidy said, "Miss Xu, please take care of Ingrid from now on."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fordidy. It's our duty to take care of her since she left her country to come all this way to our home," said Essie.

"I heard from Ingrid that Vinton has a fiancee in Dragon City. She is a good friend of Miss Xu. I don't know how Vinton is going to deal with this matter now," Fordidy asked.

"Mr. Fordidy, don't worry. She has found her perfect husband and will get married soon," said Essie.

"That's good. That sounds good to everybody," Fordidy said with a smile.

At this time, on the other side of Dragon City, Jim was cooking Italy food for his wife to be.

He had been worried that Eva would get morning sickness, but he didn't expect her to have a good appetite. It seemed that the baby in her belly was also a foodie.

Eva kept swallowing. She was hungry and just waited for the meal.

"Here comes the spaghetti bolognaise." Jim put a large plate of noodles in front of her and said, "Let's eat, big greedy cat and little greedy cat."

"Scum Jim, do you want a boy or a girl?" Eva said while eating.

"It's good to have either a boy or a girl. Since Dot is so anxious and wants his wife to be born as soon as possible, in case of generation gap, we will have a daughter first and a son in the future," said Jim.

"Okay, I will just listen to you." Eva nodded with a smile, "If we don't have a daughter, Dot's mouth will be pouted."

"Mili and Dot are two smart kids. I guess our children are as smart as them," Jim said with a smile.

"The baby have to be as smart as you. If she follows my genes, she will be stupid." Eva pouted.

"It doesn't matter. IQ can be comprehensive." Jim stroked her head and comforted her.

"Oh, that's good." Eva breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Nicholas came with Janice.

Nicholas didn't want Janice to come here, but Janice was on hunger strike, so he had to take her here.

"I heard that Eva is pregnant. I came here with Janice to congratulate you," said Nicholas.
