Chapter 97 You Are A Liar (Part Two)

Finney was feeling absolutely frightened. She picked up her phone, getting ready to call the police. Meanwhile, Essie ran into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife. She thought that if her cousin-in-law failed to deal with him, then she'd be able to scare him away using the knife.

Zac gasped and grabbed the knife from her hand at once, afraid that she would hurt herself by accident. "I'm here. What are you worried about?"

Indeed, he was a very tall man. The strange man was no match for him. Once he caught sight of Zac, he would probably be scared to death.

"Be smart later. If brother-in-law fails to deal with him, you should go out to rescue him." Essie patted him on the shoulder.

"I think he will be fine." After he finished talking, Zac got lost in thought. He had very sharp and keen eyes. It was almost as if he could see all of the secrets hidden in the dark that others couldn't see. He usually never cared about other people's affairs, but Finney was his wife's cousin, so she was also his relative. He tried his best to be kind-hearted when he said, "Finney, have you seen your husband's property certificate for this house?"

"No, he said it was with his mother." Finney shook her head.

"Have you been to his company?" asked Zac.

"No. He forbade me to see him in his company for fear of the bad influence around him." Finney looked at him in confusion and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Essie finally understood what was going on. She might be easily confused about a lot of things, but she understood some things faster than anyone else.

"Let's go out and have a look." Essie opened the door just a crack and looked outside, only to find that Antony and the middle-aged man were gone.

When she walked up to the elevator, she found them sitting in the garden outside.

Then, she made a "shh" gesture to Finney, and they hid themselves behind a pillar.

"This house is nice. We still want to live here, but the rent is too high. Can you lower it a little?" Antony said.

"I still want to raise it. How could I possibly lower it?"

Hearing his words, Essie was shocked again. 'It's just as Zac had predicted. I thought this house had been bought by Antony?' she thought. Was her cousin-in-law a liar?

Finney started trembling with anger, then like a bolt coming out of the blue, she cursed, "Antony, you bastard!" She rushed t

sie pouted, but her tone was straightforward.

'It's not so bad!' Zac consoled himself in his heart. It's not like he lied to her about marriage or sleeping together. Neither did he lie about love. It was just a white lie to make her happy.

The air was filled with a moment of silence.

Essie then sat up and stared at him with a very serious look in her eyes. She asked, "Did you really lie to me about something?"

He gently touched her forehead and said, "You are so silly. If I lie to you, I'm the one who will suffer great losses."

'Humph! I'm not that stupid,' Essie thought.

Essie wrinkled her nose and lay back on the bed. She was not worried that he was swindling her for money or sex at all. She was just worried about...

"I heard that the stock has plummeted. Have you lost all of your money?" She was afraid that Zac had lost all his money and refused to tell her.

"Don't worry. I've already withdrawn my money." A smile tugged at the corners of Zac's mouth. He was actually the one behind the turmoil and bustle in the stock market, and he was only making use of others' shares.

Seeing how calm he was, Essie felt relieved.

The recording of the third round of the Beauty on Runway went very smoothly. Sunny had been warned, and she did not dare to act rashly.

This particular session was not held in the studio. Instead, it was held in a stadium that could contain 10000 people.

'What is this?'

Essie wondered.

'Will something serious happen?'

She and Nicole got out of the car and walked into the stadium. All of a sudden, she was shocked.
