Chapter 560 Between Father And Daughter


    After greeting the guests, Baron called Essie into the study.


    "Cathy, y chess with dad. We haven''t yed chess together for a long time."


    Essie nodded and sat down. She knew that Baron must have something more than ying chess with


    her.


    The servant brought two cups of ck tea.


    Baron took a sip and smiled, "I still remember that you were very active when you were a child. You


    always couldn''t sit still, so every time you yed chess, you ran away halfway."


    With a faint smile on her face, Essie thought that she was never fit to y such a game that required


    her to think a lot.


    "Mr. Baron, my sister is much better at ying chess than me. You should ask her to y with you."


    Baron sighed, "Cathy, when will you call me daddy again?"


    Essie lowered her eyes and a touch of sadness swept across her face. "Mr. Baron, you have sister,


    brother, Valery and Holy. It''s dispensable to have me as daughter. But my father is different. He only


    has one daughter, so... " Her voice was very low. Father Yi had devoted all his father''s love to her since


    she was a child. It was enough for her to have a father, and she didn''t need another one. Since she left


    the Xu family at the age of seven, Baron, this father had been redundant to her.


    His words stabbed into Baron''s heart like a dagger. He had done a father''s duty to his kids


    from Alice to Holy, except for her. He hadn''t been a good father, and he had been absent for so many


    years.


    "I know. I''m sorry for you and your mommy. I want to make it up to you and give me a chance," he said


    in a low voice.


    With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, Essie said, "I''m fine now. I don''tck anything, so you


    don''t need topensate me anything." She didn''tck money, nor did sheck her father, nor did she


    lack his love. What could hepensate her? The only thing she wanted was a happy childhood, but


    he would never make it up to her.


    Baron''s heart was in turmoil. He knew that she hadn''t forgiven him. She was smarter and more


    sensible than other children since childhood. From the moment Elizabeth entered the Xu family, the


    way she looked at him had changed. She no longer regarded him as the person she worshiped and


    respected most, nor was she as intimate as before, as if he was no longer her father. Therefore, when


    he divorced Luce, she resolutely chose to follow Luce andpletely abandoned him, her father.


    "No matter how good Bob is, he is not your biological father after all."


    "After leaving the Xu family, Elizabeth sent killers to assassinate us, trying to kill us all. It was him who


    saved us. Without him, my mother and I might not have lived to this day. He is not my biological father,


    but gave me a new life. So, in my heart, he is more important than my biological father. " There was


    firmness in Essie''s tone.


    Baron heaved a heavy sigh and said, "I know Elizabeth is a woman who always reaches her goal by all


    means. But after all, she is the mother of Vinton and Valery, and she has saved your grandmother''s life,


    so..."


    "You don''t need to exin to me. She is your wife and has nothing to do with me." A sad smile


    appeared on Essie''s face. She knew that Vicki had forced him not to divorce Elizabeth. He had always


    been obedient to Vicki, and it was the same until now. For him, she no longer held any hope. If it


    weren''t for Holy, she would have quit the president of the Xu group andpletely severed the


    rtionship with the Xu family.


    "You must hate her very much, right?" Baron said slowly.


    "Yes." Essie said frankly. "When you were in aa, she tried to kill me again and again. Do you think


    I should forgive her generously?"


    "But Elizabeth is Elizabeth, and Vinton is Vinton. After all, he is your brother," Baron said in a low voice.


    "I know what you mean. She must have told you that I introduced Eva to my brother and wanted to y


    a honey trap on him. I don''t care whether you believe me or not, and I don''t need to exin. My family


    name is Yi, and I''m the daughter of the Yi family. The property of your family has nothing to do with me.


    As long as you say a word, I can immediately resign from the position of president of the Xu group, and


    I don''t want to be involved in any family or any old thing. "


    "Cathy, that''s not what I mean," Baron exined hurriedly.


    Essie waved her hand, with her eyes full of disappointment. "Mr. Baron, I don''t know how much aunt


    Elizabeth has poured dirty water on Eva, but as her best friend, I have to let you know that Eva is a


    good girl. At that time, she refused to ept the hidden rules of the agency. She had offended many


    producers and investors, and was banished and suppressed. The reason why she could achieve


    today''s achievements was all because of her own efforts. She was not influenced by the ck water in


    the entertainment circle, and Zac and I would not allow anyone to pollute her and insult her. As for


    Wendy... "


    She paused and changed her tone slightly. "I remember that in order to control uncle Bles, Vicki


    married her niece to him. Now I think aunt Elizabeth must be following Vicki''s example. She married


    her rtives to my brother, controlled his every move and made him her puppet. It''s not like what a


    biological mother can do. As for you, Mr. Baron, do you want your son to be a puppet of his mother? "


    The corners of Baron''s mouth twitched slightly. To be honest, he had never thought about this. After all,


    Elizabeth was Vinton''s biological mother. How could she hurt her son?


    "Cathy, maybe you think too much. How can a mother not care about her son?"


    "I''m also curious. My brother is Elizabeth''s biological son, and he is also her treasured sword.


    ording to the rules, she should love my brother very much, take good care of him and educate him


    seriously. However, what she did was totally different. She didn''t care about my brother at all and just


    wanted to train him to be a man who didn''t do his work. In fact, my brother is a very smart person. He


    has a good management of the project I gave him before. He is not a dissolute yboy as Elizabeth


    said. Why did Elizabeth treat her own son like this? " Essie said in an emotionless tone, as if she was


    just telling a fact.


    Baron fell into silence. His marriage with Elizabeth had existed only in name for a long time. For so


    many years, he seldom went back to the Xu family''s vi and had been living in the vi outside. He


    didn''t know how Elizabeth cared about his son and taught him.


    "It seems that you know your brother very well."


    "To be honest, before I knew him well, I didn''t like him and also opposed him to be with Eva. I don''t


    want my best friend to be fooled by him. But during youra, brother and I got to know each other


    more than before. In fact, he was kind, innocent and responsible. Unlike Valery, he was neither bossy


    nor ruthless. It seems that he doesn''t inherit the gene from aunt Elizabeth. He inherits all the


    advantages of your Xu family. I''m d for you and for your family,"


    Essie said frankly. At first, she just wanted to use Vinton to destroy his rtionship with Elizabeth, but


    now, she really treated him as her brother. She just hoped that he could get along well with Holy in the


    future and manage the Xu group well together.


    Baron''s dark eyes twinkled in the sun. He suddenly found that he didn''t know Vinton at all. For him, all


    he could do was anger and disappointment. He had never thought that he would have such a side.


    "It seems that I have to spend more time on Vinton."


    Taking a sip of tea, Essie pushed the chess piece forward and said, "Mr. Baron, I hope you can


    seriously consider my brother''s marriage. Even if he doesn''t marry Eva, his wife should have nothing to


    do with Elizabeth. This is good for him and for the Xu family." She had spent so much effort to eradicate


    the Wang n from the Xu n, and she didn''t want them toe back again.


    Baron didn''t say anything. He looked at the chessboard with an unreadable expression on his face.


    Essie didn''t know if he would take her advice, but she had tried her best. The rest depended on her


    brother.


    There was a moment of silence in the room. Baron seemed to pay attention to the chessboard. After a


    long time, he pushed the ''soldier'' forward and smiled, "Well, don''t just talk about your brother. Tell me


    about you too. How are you and Zac recently?"


    With a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, Essie said, "We are fine."


    Baron took a sip of tea and said, "Your mother came to see me. She is worried about you and is afraid


    that your mother-inw will treat you badly."

    Hearing that, Essie was shocked. Her mother had worried too much. After all, Zac was different from


    the person in front of her He had his own thoughts, and even Mary could not restrain him. Therefore,


    she believed that her fate and mother''s would not be the same.


    "In fact, my mother-inw has been nice to me recently. Maybe she has epted me." She smiled


    lightly.


    "No matter it''s Mary or Zac, as long as they dare to bully you, you must tell me. I''ll uphold justice for


    you," Baron said.


    His daughter was courageous, intelligent and resourceful. He believed that she could cope with Mary.


    Most importantly, the marriage with the Rong family was the best for the Xu family. Her daughter would


    be the hostess of the Rong family in the future, and her grandson, Dot, would undoubtedly be the


    future leader of the family. As a capitalist, it was impossible for him to help Luce to break up such a


    good marriage.


    With a slight smile on her face, Essie said, "Don''t worry. My situation is different from that of my mother.


    There are grandma and grandpa in the Rong family, and there is a father-inw. My mother-inw


    alone can''t do anything alone."


    Baron''s eyes darkened. Her words undoubtedly hurt him. Vicki had always been domineering at home.


    Since he was a child, he had been obedient to her and never dared to go against her will. Even now, he


    still didn''t have the courage to resist her.


    Outside the study, someone had been eavesdropping at the door. She followed them since they


    entered. She gritted her teeth, with a malicious light shining in her eyes.
