A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 633 Find The Scapegoat

Even if Mary was unpardonable, she was his mother who had brought him up for thirty years. It was not surprising that he chose to stand by her side.

"Essie, I've been through this. I knew this day would come when you married Zac. In such a rich family, the daughter-in-law was always in a passive position to be beaten. No matter how fair and independent a son was, he would eventually choose to stand on his mother's side and let his wife bear the grievance. Mary is more capable than Vicki in making troubles. As long as she is with you, you and Zac won't have a peaceful life. " Lucy sighed heavily.

"She did win this time." Essie lowered her eyes, and her thick long eyelashes cast two sad shadows on her eyelids. People were always like this. They always forgot the lessons of the previous generation and thought that they would be different by luck. It was not until they bumped into the cliff that they realized that they had chosen the wrong path.

"Don't be too pessimistic. That evil woman won't be complacent for long. As long as the real Mary regains her memory, she will be beaten back to her original state," Lucy comforted.

Unfortunately, Essie didn't feel better. She was sad not because she lost to Mary, but because she was disappointed in Zac.

She thought their relationship had become indestructible after going through so much hardship and test. Now she realized that she was wrong. Their relationship was still so fragile.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just want to calm down." She forced a smile and didn't want her mother to worry about her.

At this time, Zac was having a serious father son conversation with Albert.

"Daddy, are you really going to divorce Mommy?"

"What? Did she send you here as a lobbyist?" Albert lit a cigar and took a drag slowly. There was no expression on his face, as if he was determined to divorce this time.

"I also know something about my mother-in-law. You can't just listen to her one-sided words, but you should give mommy a chance to explain. I believe that it was Elizabeth who did all these things. Mommy was also used by her, so she did something stupid," Zac advised.

"I know whether she has done it or not." There was a slight fire between Albert's thick eyebrows. Apparently, he had convicted Mary in his heart.

"You have been together for more than half of your lives. Is there anything that can't be solved? Maybe she did something wrong about Luce. But if it weren't for you, how could she hate Luce? How's your relationship? In my eyes, you respect each other as guest and you are a model couple in the eyes of outsiders. But in my eyes, your relationship is as plain as water. At least, this is how you treat your mommy. Have you ever loved Mommy wholeheartedly for so many years? " Zac said in a critical tone.

"You won't know what happened between me and your mommy." Albert waved his hand. It was not that he didn't love Mary, but that she had changed and he couldn't love her anymore.

"I really don't have the right to ask about your affairs. I just hope that you can calm down and don't easily deny Mommy. After all, your have spent most of your lives together," Zac said in a low voice.

Just then, the phone rang. It was a call from a servant. Mary committed suicide by cutting her artery in the bathroom.

Zac hurried to the hospital with his father.

The doctor was giving first aid to Mary.

"Didn't you keep an eye on her? How could she commit suicide? " Albert asked.

"Lady said she wanted to take a shower in the bathroom. I didn't expect that she would commit suicide. Fortunately, I have a good ears. When I heard the sound of mirror breaking inside, I immediately called someone to open the door of the bathroom," the servant explained hesitantly.

Half an hour later, the door of the emergency room opened and the doctor came out. Fortunately, the servant found it in time and Mary had been out of danger.

The nurse pushed her into the ward. When she woke up, it was already afternoon and Elizabeth came.

Hearing the news of her suicide, Elizabeth showed a very sad expression. "Mary, why are you so silly? It's all my fault about Luce's matter. It has nothing to do with you. You just pitied me and helped me."

Tears streamed down Mary's face. "No matter how hard I explain, it's useless. They all believe in Luce's one-sided words. No one will believe me. What's the meaning of my life?"

Elizabeth turned to Albert, "In fact, I don't want to talk about the past. Since it has affected your marriage with Mary, I have to say it again. It has nothing to do with Mary. My brother Pitkin did it in the name of Mary. You should remember that Pitkin was Mary's driver at that time. He often followed Mary in and out. Everyone in the celebrities circle was very familiar with him. At that time, he knew that I was infatuated with Baron, and he wanted to play up to me, so he set up me and Baron in the name of Mary. After that, he did that in the name of Mary in the matter of the ligation in order to help me drive Luce away. I didn't know these things until later. After all, he is my brother and he wants to help me. I have to hide these secrets and let Mary take the blame. "

Albert looked at the two with sharp and gloomy eyes.

"So, you are all wronged on this matter. Is Pitkin the chief culprit?"

"Yes, he committed all this crimes in a moment of confused." Elizabeth sighed.

"Okay, I'll ask the Dragon City Evening newspaper to give Pitkin a front page report tomorrow. Ask him to list all his crimes and apologize to Luce. As for the criminal liability involved, I will hand it over to the police," Albert said clearly and forcefully.

Elizabeth twitched violently, "Albert, it's been so long. Can we keep a low profile? We are all dignified people, and it was not good for us to report it in public. I will ask Pitkin to apologize to Luce in person. "

"He deserves it." Albert's expression was cold and resolute. Obviously, he didn't want to give in.

Elizabeth glanced at Mary, and Mary nodded quietly, indicating her to do as Albert said. She and Elizabeth had made a plan last night. The two of them had been tied to the same rope more than twenty years ago.

If Mary was in trouble, and Elizabeth couldn't stay out of it. If Elizabeth was in trouble, Mary couldn't stand by.

Now, as long as the two people could be proved innocent, let Pitkin be the scapegoat to the end.

On the second day, in Phoenix Road villa, Essie was reading the Dragon City Evening newspaper with a sneer on her face.

No wonder they were two cunning old foxes. They pushed out a scapegoat and let him bear all the crimes. They got rid of the crimes and became innocent.

The Wang family relied on Elizabeth. If Elizabeth fell, the Wang family would be ruined. Pitkin couldn't escape even if he did not want to.

Zac came here in the evening.

The resentment of the last generation had become clear to all. He believed that the knot in

the heart of his mother in law and wife should be solved.

However, when he entered the room, he found that Essie didn't look well.

"Have you read today's newspaper?" he asked in a low voice.

"So what? Can you solve the problem by finding a scapegoat at will?" Essie sneered. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing this, Zac's eyes darkened and his handsome face darkened. "Essie Yi, can I say that you are paranoid?"

"Elizabeth is innocent, and so is your mommy. It's all Elizabeth's brother Pitkin's fault. Do you think I'm a three year old child that can be fool by such a childish trick? "

"If you want to testify against my mommy, you have to show evidence. If not, don't suspect for no reason! My mommy almost committed suicide because of this. What else do you want? " Zac's tone was mixed with anger. It took him a long time to calm down, and he didn't want anything else to happen.

"Well, Essie, what is black cannot turned white. The truth will come to light sooner or later." Lucy's voice came from the stairs.

It was natural for a son to protect his mother, and she didn't want to blame Zac for anything. But she also didn't believe what the newspaper said. Obviously, Elizabeth and Mary wanted to escape from their guilt. She wouldn't believe a word of their words.

"Mom, I just hope that you and my mom can dissolve the resentment and get along well with each other, so that as the younger generation, we won't be put in a dilemma," Zac looked at Lucy and said in a low voice.

"Zac, make it clear. Your mother is aggressive now. She doesn't want to get along with us. Why don't you focus on persuading? Or your advice doesn't work at all? She wanted to drive me away and divorce me. Since you are so filial to her, why don't you listen to her? In this way, she is good, you are good and we are all good. I don't need to see my mother-in-law's face all day long. " Essie was a little excited and her voice rose unconsciously.

"Essie, you are pregnant now. You can't be too excited." Lucy hurried to her and held her up.

Zac didn't say anything more, fearing that she would be too angry and hurt the child. "You

little fool, no matter who is right and who is wrong, let's put it aside for the time being, okay?" My mother won't pursue the matter of Jonas anymore. Go back with me first. " He tried to calm himself down.

"I don't want to go back yet. I need some time to calm down," Essie replied coldly.

Zac looked at her helplessly and took a deep breath. "Well, think it over tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow." After saying that, she greeted Lucy and went out.

Holding her hand, Lucy sat down and said, "Essie, if it was in the past, I would have persuaded you to leave him and divorce him. But now I just want to say that if you really fall out with him, the happy person is Mary. Don't let her succeed."

"Mom, I'm sorry." Lowering her head, Essie was in a mess.
