Chapter 422 The Battered Body Trick Works

She didn't bother to make an appointment. Instead, she took it for her own business rather than for the
official process. After she called William to make sure that Zac was in his office, she drove there
directly.

Lying on the big chair and looking at her, Zac said indifferently, "what brings Miss Essie here today?"
His tone was polite and official, as if she was a stranger.

Essie rubbed her hands. She used to think that wherever he was, the air was warm. But now, even the
air into her lungs was cold.

"I'm here to send you an invitation," She took out a delicate marriage invitation card from her handbag
and put it on the desk in front of him. The scarlet color was as terrible as blood in his eyes, and every
word carved on it was like nails, deeply piercing his eyes and heart.

"It's not a big deal. Why bother you to come here in person?" He tried his best to control his tone so
that she wouldn't see his pain.

"I have another thing to discuss with you." She continued, "now that you don't want my Barbie doll,
could you please give it back to me?"

A cold light flashed through Zac's black eyes. "Who told you I don't want it?"

"You can take it to auction, which means that you don't want it anymore. Besides, you picked it up from
the trash can. " Essie became a little angry. She really thought her Barbie doll was not worth
mentioning. She shouldn't have given it to this wasted great demon.

"Do you have a poor memory or poor understanding? I said I was for charity, not for auction." Zac said
with a mocking smile.



"You take it for my poor understanding. There's no difference between the two. The only thing I know is
that you bid it because you don't want to get it back." She raised her voice and became agitated.

"Then I'll tell you clearly that no matter who bids, it will be bid back by me." Zac said it word for word,
with a bit of impatience on his face. She didn't know if he was tired of talking to her or annoyed by her
low balance.

"You have so many private collections. Why did you sell it for auction?" She thought that this guy was
just making a lame excuse.

"If it weren't for it, could yesterday's auction be so exciting and interesting?" Zac said with a sinister and
insidious smile.

Essie gave another violent tremble, and suddenly her head became unusually clear, as if her body was
enlightened.

The reason why he took out the Barbie doll for auction was to make fun of her!

"Zac, you... You did it on purpose! " She was so angry that she stamped her foot. The demon was so
horrible that she might be killed by him at any moment.

"Isn't it fun?" Zac said with a cold smile.

"No, not at all." She yelled at him as if she had been fooled and humiliated.

"No sense of humor." He sneered.

"I gave you the Barbie doll. But now I'm regretful and I don't want to give it to you anymore. Please give
it back to me!" She stomped her feet and walked to him. She reached out her hands, like a kid begging
for candy.



Zac opened his big palm and slapped her hand hard. "That's from my fiancee, Cathy. What does it
have to do with you?"

Feeling headache, Essie withdrew her hand and rubbed it. "It's me. I'm Cathy."

All of a sudden, the corners of his mouth were reduced into a grim expression. "You're Essie, not
Cathy." He said the sentence word for word.

Essie fainted again. Obviously, he was fooling. It turned out that this ogre could play tricks. "What's the
difference between Cathy and Essie?" She asked deliberately.

'It seems that Cathy's heart is totally occupied by me, and Essie's heart is actually filled with Hanson.'
Zayn thought inwardly, but pretended as if he didn't know it. He replied, "maybe he's smart, but I don't
know what he's like. Maybe he's stupid; maybe he's smart; maybe he's stupid; maybe we all like him,
yet I'm not that stupid. Maybe I like him; maybe he's a nice and considerate man, but this Miss Xia is a
troublemaker. Most importantly, Cathy is my fiancee who I want to marry, and Essie is my ex-wife who I
don't want. "

He said these ruthless words. Instantly, there was a buzz in her brain. She didn't know if she should cry
or laugh at this moment.

Although Cathy was her and Essie was her too. She took herself as Essie unconsciously and took
Cathy as a stranger.

"That bastard... Cathy is not your fiancee anymore. You've married another woman. Essie is the only
one in the world who you hate or dislike. There will always be only one person like her. "

"So you are not qualified to take my Barbie." He slowly replied. He would forget Essie, erase her from
his world, and wait for Cathy back. However, he wasn't sure how long he could wait. His heart was in
the flesh, without such nutrition, it would surely die.



Essie touched her forehead. It was hard to clear her mind. The only thing that Essie knew was that she
couldn't take the Barbie doll with her today.

"Never mind. I'll just keep it in your room. If you don't want it one day, don't throw it away and don't give
it to anyone else. Just give it back to me, okay?" She put on a begging tone.

"I'll return it to Cathy, not Essie." Zac said in a firm tone. He paused and a mischievous smile appeared
on his face. "I'm not sure whether I'll throw it away or not. I keep it because I want to wait for Cathy to
come back. If she really can't come back, it's useless for me to keep it. I'll definitely throw it away."

"Then you can give it to me, okay?" Essie curled her lips. She didn't care even if it was one hundred
million.

"No way. There's only one way to get it back. If you want it to be safe and sound, go to find Cathy
back." His voice was full of threats.

The situation made her want to cry. She was Cathy. How could she find her back? Should she be a
tomboy of seven years old?

"You are so unreasonable." She glared at him.

His face was as calm as water, "it's not the first time you know me."

Yes, he was the demon king, and there was no reason in his world. Only the respect and surrenders
were.

Essie bit her lips and said, "sorry to bother you." After saying that, she walked out without waiting for
his response.

After she left, he took the invitation card on the table and tore it into pieces without hesitation. He hated
the color of it and hated every word on it. The only way was to destroy it.



In the villa by the lake, Leila was overturning her suitcases and looking for the damn Barbie doll that
was brought back by Zac yesterday. She wanted to crush it and threw it away.

But she had seen him put it in a drawer casually. How could it disappear in the morning?

When Zac came back, she was just getting out of the bed.

"What are you doing?" He frowned and asked. The Butler had told him that she was looking for the
Barbie.

"Zac, your Barbie doll is missing. I saw you put it in the drawer yesterday, so I wanted to help you put it
away. However, when I opened the drawer, I couldn't find it. I was worried that the servants threw it
away by accident, so I am helping you find it. " Leila had already made up an excuse.

"Whatever. It's just a doll." Zac said in a casual way as if he didn't care about it at all.

Leila was bewildered. He jumped into the lake to look for it, asked for the auction later, and then spent
one hundred million to get it back. Now it was thrown away, he didn't have to be in a hurry. What the
hell did that mean?

"I thought it was important to you." She said on purpose.

Holding her by the shoulder, Zac said, "Leila, you are the most important person to me now."

"Zac!" Leila was overjoyed, tears trickling down her cheeks. She threw herself into his arms and she
was so happy that he finally came back and belonged to her as before.

"Zac, I'm really happy. I won't listen to that bad guy anymore no matter what he threaten me to do.
Although I don't know how long I can live, I absolutely won't do anything that upsets you. I'm earning
money now. I will have no regrets as long as I can be with you and be loved by you. " She kept playing
the "love card" game, which moved him deeply.



"Honey, don't worry. I won't let you die." Zac stroke her head.

"Zac, do you know? I heard that when a person is about to die, he or she will have the most important
memories in his or her life. We can go on a honeymoon after the project in South Sea is started, okay?
If I'm really going to die one day, what will happen in front of me will be the best memories in our
honeymoon. " She buried her head in his arms, squeezed her eyes hard and squeezed a few tears,
and wiped his shirt deliberately, so that he could know she was crying.

Zac sighed, "where do you want to go?"

"Let's go to Provence. I like grape garden and lavender fields. I often have dreams. I dreamed with you
lying in a blue and purple lavender field, watching the sun and sunset in the sky, clouds scurrying over
the clouds. " She sniffed in a sad voice, but in fact, a creepy smile was quietly rippling across her lips.

"Let's go to Provence." Said Zac in a low voice, looking at an unknown corner outside the window.
Previously, he had thought about a lot of things. He wanted to have a walk in the lavender field of
Provence along with Essie, to bask in the sun on the beach of Hawaii together with Essie and to ski
with Essie in the Alps... Unfortunately, she left before he could do it. Now she was back, but he didn't
seem to have the chance to do these things.

Leila was very happy. After the honeymoon, she would get pregnant. Blood ties were complex. As long
as there was a child, she would be entangled with him all her life. Even if he found the truth someday,
he would not be able to get rid of her.
