A Moment in Destiny

"Esther, come back and live with us! Although Hudson is not allowed to marry you, you're still the daughter of the Ball family!" said Christ.

"No! I've grown up!" Esther said with a smile, her eyes curved like a crescent moon. "Hudson, you've to take good care of your health, I'll come to visit you!"

After uttering these words, Esther smiled and took another look at Hudson. "I'm leaving, don't worry about me, I'm strong now. I'm healthy and happy without the Ball family, aren't I? You don't have to worry about me!!"

"Esther ––" Hudson shouted hurriedly.

However, she was already out of his sight.

Christ cast his gaze to the door and he felt bitter in his heart as he watched Esther's slowly disappearing back. Esther had completely inherited her mother's personality, keeping a smile on her face even when she obviously wanted to cry.

He thought, 'Eula, you've given birth to a daughter just like you! She is so big-hearted and counts men for little!'

Christ's hand clenched at his side, that was an eternal pain in his heart.

"Even if I can't fall in love with Esther, I won't continue the relationship with Winnie!" Hudson had already made up his mind.

"How dare you!" Christ yelled angrily.

"I don't want Ball Group; you can give it to Ethel. I won't do anything wrong with Esther, but I love her. No matter who she is, I love her, and that can't be changed. Even if I spend all my life as a monk, I still love her!"

"If you love her, you should make her happy instead of tying her to you when you know you can't. She is Elijah's, and the Ball family is going to plan a wedding for her!" Christ rebuked pointedly. "She is my daughter, and I want her to marry honourably into the Perry family! Their marriage will create the myth of corporate marriage!"

Hudson lowered his eyes. "I know that everything can't be undone, I know that I've lost her! You can leave now; I'll think it over!"

"Don't pester Esther anymore!" Christ instructed, "Take good care of yourself and get well soon, Ball Group is yours, Ethel isn't fit for management, he's too playful!"

********************************

Esther ran out, tears welling up in her eyes. She was sad, was that the reason why Hudson married Winnie? Honestly, she didn't believe it, and what was the scandal they mentioned?

As she thought about it, her tears burst out again. She was such a failure. "What the hell are you crying about? Esther, if you cry again, I'll slap you to death!"

Getting off the elevator, Esther slapped herself twice in a secluded corner on the first floor. "Ouch! It hurts so much. How come the more I slap myself, the more I want to cry. Esther, you idiot, I won't slap you anymore, so stop crying, okay?"

As soon as Ethel came out of the elevator, he saw Esther talking to herself and even slapping herself. For a moment, he was stunned, was this woman crazy?

Ethel gently walked over and heard Esther muttering, "What's the big deal? They look down on me, and I look down on them! It's not like no one wants to marry me, why do I have to marry Hudson. Hudson is so stupid, Hudson is a big idiot! Elijah is a big idiot too! Men are all stinky shit, yes, they're all piles of stinky poop. What's the big deal? Boohoo––"
