Chapter 187 United In the Fight For Love (Part One)
"Let bygones be bygones. There''s no need for us to talk about it again," she replied lightly.
"Yes, it has been four years, after all." Walt smiled bitterly. She had totally forgotten him, whereas he
had always thought of her and looked for her desperately.
After a moment''s silence, he said, "Aren''t you bothered by that matter between Zac and Valery?"
"I have no problem with anything that happened before I knew Zac," she said lightly with a shrug,
deliberately putting on a nonchnt demeanor. In the Rong family, there were Valery and Mary, who
were scheming and malicious toward her at every turn. They intended to have her kicked out of the
family, so she must be extremely cautious with every word she uttered and every move she made.
Walt''s eyes darkened. "It is good that you don''t mind. That way, your rtionship won''t suffer."
"Don''t worry, my rtionship with Zac is stronger than the moorstone," said Essie with a lightugh, full
of confidence in what she had just said. However, she thought she overdid it a bit. Acting for a few
months was manageable for her, but putting on a performance for the rest of her life? That would

probably drive her crazy. At times, Essie really admired Zac''s proficiency in that department. The way
he portrayed the perfect husband who ever constantly really impressed her. Even though in his eyes,
she was but a troublesome headache, he was able to endure her presence. Sometimes, she even
thought that her husband could give Jim a run for his money.
Walt didn''t want to hear such words. The better the couple''s rtionship was, the greater the blow was
to him. However, he did not wear his heart on his sleeve, and only a gentle expression was evident on
his face. "We will be family in the future. If you need any help, just let me know. I''d be happy to help
you out."
"Thank you, brother," Essie said with a smile. She had no idea that being addressed as such cut him
deeply.
Hiding behind the rockery not far away, Valery was spying on the pavilion''s upants.
''It''s the first time that Essie had met Walt, but they''ve already be so familiar with each other. They
even talked andughed while talking. Is Essie buttering up Walt so that he would support her?
I may have Mary and Mandy behind me, and they''re my most important supporters at this time. Essie
has Zac and Albert on her side. If she manages to lure Walt over on her side, I would have one less
backer than her.''
She shook her head vehemently. ''That''s not going to happen. I need to find a way to sabotage her
alliances and increase my supporters.''
She ruminated on the thought multiple times, and one person popped into her mind. It wouldn''t be too
difficult for her to convince that person to go against Essie.
She hurried back to her room, and she couldn''t wait to send a message to Mandy on QQ. During the
first meeting, it was not her who met up with the other woman. Instead, she had hired an actress to
pretend to be Zac''s ex-girlfriend who was visiting Mandy. The two of them were rivals of the same
woman, so it would be easy for them to form a united front against theirmon enemy. She asked
that paid actress to add Mandy as a friend on QQ, and she took over the conversation from there.
Mommy had told her not to dirty her hands, so she would find a scapegoat. Even if Zac found out one
day, the consequences would never fall on her.
Soon enough, Mandy went online. Essie was greatly revived thest time, and now, returning to Zac
was driving her mad.
"What do you have in mind this time around?"
"Bring Essie to Mint Coffee House on Street A tomorrow and let her meet her first love..." Valery sent
an evil smile.
On the next day, Mandy went shopping with Essie again as nned.
"Aren''t you very busy with your work recently? Do you still have time to go shopping in Dragon City?"
Essie asked with a smile. After all, Mandy was the most popr anchorwoman in Yang City Satellite
TV, and she was in charge of the two most popr shows.
"As a woman, no matter how busy you are, you should never forget to dress up." Mandy smiled lightly
to hide the malicious expression on her face. She could never forgive this bitch who took away her
dream lover. She swore that she would make her pay for what she had done.
After wandering around for a long time, she took Essie to the Mint Coffee House at the time arranged
by her and Valery.
No other customer was around because Valery had booked the entire cafe. She didn''t want other
people to interfere with her ns.
Looking around, Essie asked in confusion, "This ce used to be packed. Why isn''t anyone else
here?"
"I don''t think it''s a good idea to have so many people around, since we''re both public figures at this
point. If we''re recognized, they woulde to have photos taken with us and ask for our signature.
That''s so annoying," Mandy said to reassure her.
Essie nodded, not suspecting anything. Both women sat by a table in the corner.
Mandy ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, while Essie asked for a cup of cappino.
After taking a sip of coffee, Mandy said casually, "You know, a rich man is pursuing me recently. He''s
very loyal to me. What do you think, should I ept him?" She cooked up this story to make Essie
believe that she was no longer interested in Zac. In the future, even if she was the one who got to sell
Essie to someone, thetter would never think that she was the backstabber and would even count
money for her.
"Based on your words, it''s obvious that you already know the answer," Essie said with a smile on her
face. She was d that Mandy was able to finally let go of Zac and had a prospective lover waiting in
the wings.
