Chapter 224


    It was past nine o''clock when Tracey arrived at the Xia''s residence. Unexpectedly, at this time,


    Renee and Leo were all at home.


    Maybe because too many things had happened recently, they didn''t dare to y around anymore


    and behaved well at home.


    However, they still had no idea what happened to their mother. They saw Carmen often sat by the


    window in a daze, once sitting, she would sit for long.


    Every time when she closed her eyes, she would recall the life she and Ben had. In her memory,


    Ben had never looked at her in a cold way.


    Since that day, they were like strangers. Even though living in the same house, they never sleep


    together.


    They don''t speak a word to each other either. Carmen had totally been transparent to Ben.


    Renee and Leo also began to feel that something was wrong. When they asked about what had


    happened, Ben would only say that there were too many terrible things going on in thepany


    recently, so he was in a bad mood and don''t want to talk.


    Carmen only had three days to move out. As time went by, she didn''t intend to leave.


    She had taken all her pocket money out to pay Leo''s debt. Now if she left the Xia family, how was it


    possible for her to return an ordinary person after living as a richdy for so many years?


    As for her own family, it was quite ordinary and her father was an old-fashioned teacher.


    His monthly earnings were barely enough to support the family, not to mention giving Carmen a


    luxurious life.


    Later, when he learned that Carmen had been a bar girl and raised by rich men, he broke the


    rtionship with her.


    Even if Carmen sessfully moved into a mansion, she didn''t have any contact with other families,


    she had lost her own home long ago.


    Having lived with Ben for 20 years, Ben had already be her family. How could she bear to


    leave him?


    She did not have the heart to let go of her family as well as the luxurious lifestyle that she deeply


    used to.


    She didn''t want to go. No matter what means she applied, she must stay. She must not be looked


    down upon.


    Just as she was in a daze, Tracey opened the door and came back. Ben felt bored and he was


    watching TV series, his eyes lit up when as soon as he saw Tracey.


    "Tracey, you''re back."


    "Why did youe back?" Leo asked subconsciously.


    Ben looked at him coldly. ''''This is Tracey''s home.


    Where is she going if she doesn''te back?"


    "Dad, she justes back every now and then. If it''s really her home, why doesn''t shee back


    every day? I don''t know what she is doing outside!" Renee said sarcastically.


    Their sarcasm did not anger Tracey at all. She said gently, "Sorry, I have returned from abroad for


    so long, but I forgot to invite you to my new house.


    I bought a vi by the sea. Although it''s not big, it''s good and it''s quiet. I lived there every day. Dad,


    you should take a look at it someday."


    "Tracey, you are so amazing. The beach house is expensive. You can buy a vi without our


    financial support. I even admire you." Ben liked Tracey more and more.


    "Dad, you ttered me too much. This is my home. I will oftene back to see you."


    "Good girl, you must be tired these days. So many things have happened in thepany. You


    should go to bed early." Ben saw her tired look and hurriedly tell her to take rest.


    "Okay, I''ll go and have a rest first." The more harmonious Tracey and Ben were, the more jealous


    Renee was.


    When she went upstairs, Renee said in a strange tone, "She liked peace and quiet. What, does she


    dislike us making noise?"


    "Aren''t you noisy? Tracey didn''t say a word about you. How much did you say about her?" Ben said.


    "Dad, you are getting too partial!" Renee got up from the sofa and angrily walked upstairs.


    Leo also felt bored and went straight upstairs. Ben''s voice came from behind, "Learn more from


    your sister and get ready for your interview. It''s almost time."


    "Humph." Leo snorted and closed the door with a loud bang.


    "Small ability, bad temper." Ben was a little dissatisfied.

    There were only Ben and Carmen left in the room now. Ben thought Renee and Leo would not


    come back, and he said to Carmen,


    "I only gave you three days to move out. Why don''t you pack up?" His words were quite straight.


    "What''sing wille." Carmen had always hoped what Ben said to her that day was just his


    angry rush.


    Knowing Ben was angry, so Carmen had behaved well and did not provoke him these days. As


    soon as hearing he drove her again, Carmen became uneasy.


    She knelt in front of Ben and said, "Ben, give me a chance, okay? I promise that such a thing will


    not happen again."


    "No man can ept this kind of thing. I didn''t announce it but chose to keep it a secret.


    And you can choose your own reasons for leaving. I have given you the greatest decency. If you are


    not grateful, don''t me me for driving you out in unreasonable ways."


    Tears falling down from Carmen''s eyes. She pulled Ben''s trousers feebly. "Ben, I didn''t mean that,


    just spare me for the sake of the two kids I''ve birthed for you."


    "If you really think of them, you should leave by yourself. At least you can keep decency,


    otherwise..." It was the first time that Ben became so heartless.


    Knowing that she could not make him softhearted, Carmen said helplessly, "Okay, I know, I will


    leave, and I will never bother you."


    "Did shepromise so easily? It was not like her." Ben thought, looking at her unbelievably.


    "Okay, tomorrow morning, you..."


    "I can leave, but I have one condition."


    "What condition?"


    Carmen wiped the tears, she said, "Renee and Leo are about to go to thepany for interviews.


    This is their only chance.


    I don''t want to distract them with my stuff. I can leave, but I hope that I can wait until they finish the


    interview. No matter whether they are admitted or not, I will leave by myself without your request."


    Hearing that Carmen was considering their children so much, Ben was thinking for a moment, then


    he nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll give you more time. When they are settled down, you shall leave."


    "Yes." Carmen looked at Ben, who was in front of her but she felt like was distant.


    He used to be considerate and always took care of her, now he was looking at her with such cold


    eyes.


    Tracey saw everything secretly. Carmen was just buying time. Children were her shield and she


    maye up with other tricks to avoid being driven out.


    Tracey could not wait. She must defeat Carmen this time. Once let go of this opportunity and if


    Carmen rose up again someday, she would never be easy to knock her down.


    So she could only seed and shall not lose.
