Chapter 408 Ruined by You

Almost at the same time, they looked away, mercilessly splitting their eyes contact, and then drank a
mouthful of champagne, borrowing the alcohol to numb the severe pain in the heart.

The action was so tacit as if it had been set in advance. Even if two people were separated from each
other, the connection between them would not disappear or change.

Looking at them, Albert sighed deeply. His son suddenly divorced Essie and married Leila. It was so
abnormal. He couldn't understand it at all. Most importantly, it was harmful to the Rong family. He
believed that his son would understand. He hoped that Zac could be stupid for the moment and that
there would be still room for him to reconcile with Essie.

"The Xu family and the Qin family will have a lot of cooperation in the future." Alice opened her mouth
suddenly, which broke the peace on the table.

She deliberately reached out and held Fell's arm. Fell was slightly shocked, but he didn't pull his arm
out. He just smiled and said, "of course our Qin family is willing to establish a cooperative relationship
with Xu's Group."

"What a big surprise!" One of the directors said with a smile. The business was changeable, so was the
affection.

"I also didn't expect that the children have grown up and many things are not up to us." Fell's father
said with a big smile. He had been hoping that his son could get married with Essie, but he didn't
expect that Fell would fall in love with Alice so soon. Whether Essie or Alice was the same good to Qin
family.

"I will take over the Xu's Group with Essie together." The gentle and soft words of Alice shocked
everyone in the hall. Take charge together? It was a new word. Everyone knew that a mountain cannot
accommodate two tigers. Even relatives would have different opinions and had a dispute.



A deep expression flashed through Zac' eyes. He knew that Alice was not easy to deal with. It was
definitely not a coincidence that Alice came back this time. She came here to compete with Essie for
power.

"Alice, I heard that you have lost your memory. You'd better pay attention to your health first. Find a
brain doctor for you. It's a big problem." He used a dragonfly tone, as if it was a kind care.

Alice raised her eyebrows. "Thanks for your concern, my ex-brother-in-law. I just lost my memory and
have a normal brain. It won't affect my working ability. And it was too tired for Essie to manage the Xu's
Group alone. The burden is too heavy for her, so of course I should help her with it. "

"It's a good thing to share the burden. Don't make more troubles." Zac's deep eyes reflected a sharp
cold light. When Alice felt that he wanted to see through her, she almost subconsciously lowered her
eyes to cover her perhaps leaking pupils.

"Fell." She called him in a very low voice and asked him for help. Fell and Zac were sworn enemies to
each other. Since Alice was on his side, he would certainly defend her.

"Zac, you are not the son-in-law of the Xu family anymore. They will deal with the affairs of the Xu
family themselves. Don't worry."

"I wish you could marry into the Xu family," A unfathomable cold smile drew across the corners of his
mouth.

Fell didn't understand what he meant. He snorted and kept silent, glaring at him.

The atmosphere became more tense.

Essie understood what Zac meant bur she didn't believe that Alice had the ambition to usurp her
power. In fact, Alice had been in charge of the Xu's Group for Baron for a long time and she was more



experienced than Essie. If Alice hadn't lost her memory, Essie would have resigned and handed the
company over to her.

However...

She forced herself to calm down and smiled, "during so many years in the Xu's Group, Alice has more
experience in management than me and she is more capable than me. She is the most suitable
candidate for management in the Xu's Group." As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Alice,
"sister, amnesia can be restored through treatment. During this period of time, you'd better find a doctor
to examine carefully, and you should regain your memory as soon as possible, so that I can get rid of
the burden quickly."

Essie had made up her mind that she would hand Xu's Group over to Alice as long as she got her
memory back. But before that, she wouldn't give up. It was also possible for what Zac was worried.
Just in case, everything could happen. She had to be extremely cautious.

When Alice heard her, a sinister and cold light flashed through her eyes. "Sister, don't worry. My ability
will not be affected by the loss of memory. I will let you see."

Essie nodded with a smile and said nothing. What she worried about was not the ability, but the will.
Her mind had totally changed since she lost her memory. Essie didn't know why she would become like
this. The loss of memory was not all the reason. Essie was worried that there was really something
terrible that she had no idea during her disappearance.

"After the big change in the Xu's Group, the most important thing we need is to be stable. Alice is
always a steady person. I'm sure she will put the overall situation above everything." Said Albert with a
meaningful look. They needed a stable relationship instead of a fake one.

The underlying meaning behind Albert's words irritated Alice, but she didn't dare to say anything. It was
obvious that the Rong family supported Essie. If she wanted to win over the Xu's Group, she had to win



the support of the Qin family. Otherwise, she would not be able to achieve her goal.

Zac's sharp eyes were focused on her face, so he observed every subtle expression on her face.

On the way back, the look on Albert's face became serious. "Alice came back in a sudden. I'm afraid
that the Xu's Group will suffer a lot again."

"I know." Zac nodded slightly and looked out of the window. The speeding car and the colorful neon
made a mess of shadows, and his thoughts became unstable.

He had decided to erase the Essie who had made him upset and depressed from his world. He would
no longer care about her matters.

However, as soon as he saw her at the dinner party, he couldn't help but worry about her.

Damn it! He hated this feeling of getting out of control. Now, he would correct everything. As the
number one in Dragon City, how could he be controlled by a woman?

Staring at his son in silence, Albert frowned and asked, "are you worried about Essie now?"

Zac turned his eyes and frowned. He took a deep breath and said, "No." with difficulty, a strong pain
flashed through his heart.

He cast a glance at his son, lit a cigar and took a slow drag. At the end of the cigar, a small flame
flickered in the darkness. "The God always likes to use various ways to test a couple's love. Only those
who pass the test can receive his blessing, but unfortunately, there are too many people and too many
emotions in this world can't pass the test."

"The test..." Zac raised his head, repeating the word. Out of instinct, he looked at the dark sky outside
the window. A ray of moonlight broke through the clouds and sprinted into the dark night.



"Alice now is with Fell. If I guess it right, she wanted to regain the control of the Xu's Group with the
help of the Qin group. If the Xu's Group fell into her hands, it would be extremely disadvantageous to
our company. No matter what has happened between you and Essie, you should put the interests of
the whole into the first place. " Said Albert in earnest.

"I know what I am doing." Said Zac in a low voice.

Next day, at dusk.

The evening glow was quietly burning in the sky. A moment later, it was thick red and a moment later, it
was dark purple and shone into the car window.

Zac was sitting in the car and waiting for people coming out of the Hengyuan building. His handsome
face was covered by the sunshine.

After a long time, the familiar figure appeared. The sunset shone on her black hair, like the light of an
angel. His heart was beating fast as if it had been filled with infinite energy.

Damn it! Why was he so anxious? What was he crazy about?

He came here for business, not for this silly woman who had no heart!

However, he was too impatient to wait any longer. He pushed the door open and stepped out
uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he saw her smile. Her beautiful face was like a jasmine that had just bloomed, pure and
sweet. She looked in the opposite direction, and the man who was greeting her was the last person he
wanted to see -- Hanson.



Hanson came back home from abroad today. Bella had set up a branch company in Europe, and he
had been dealing with the branch company there during this period of time.

The day before yesterday, he received a call from Alice, who told him that Zac had been pestering
Essie. He was very worried about her, so he came back in a hurry.

As soon as he got off the plane, he drove straight to Dragon City without taking his luggage home.

"Do you miss me?" His eyes were full of love and missing.

"Yes." Essie nodded, and she was overwhelmed by deep guilt.

He reached out and held her in his arms, kissing her regardless of the eyes of the people around.

Zac's heart wrenched. He was once again desperate and once again dejected. He fell back to the seat
and pressed his chest. It was painful, as if a dagger was mercilessly twisting and causing him to be
bloody and blurred.

The light of the setting sun disappeared from the horizon.

His eyes turned dark, so did the evening glow.

He couldn't recall how he came back to the villa by the lake. He suffered so much that he was out of
breath that he almost lost his memory.

He didn't return to the villa. He sat alone by the lake and gazed at the Barbie doll in his hand.

"Don't hang out with others. When I grow up, I'll come back to you. I'll be back..."

He had never forgotten her innocent and serious face. Even if he had a hidden disease because of her,
he had never really hated her.



God was a kidding guy.

He had found her back by accident, but she had already fallen in love with someone else and had no
place for him anymore.

He thumped his forehead in distress. With a flick of his finger, the doll fell into the lake.

In a hurry, he reached out to catch the doll, but it was sinking into the dim lake.

"Didn't you say that you couldn't sleep alone? If I'm not around in the future, you can sleep with it..."

Her voice echoed in his ears, and his heart trembled violently. He jumped into the lake recklessly.
