Chapter 675


    Tracey and Adam stayed in the Sheng family for one night and then went to the Xia family. Johan


    and Steve were on good terms.


    Now Johan, Steve, Ben, Tracey, and Adam were ying chess. They were all extremely smart, so


    this simple game became thrilling.


    In the end, Adam lost the game on purpose. How could he win Tracey and her elders?


    "Adam, I know you deliberately threw the game. You can''t fool me." Tracey pouted.


    "I didn''t." Adam denied.


    "I thought you said losing was thest thing a man wanted."


    "That depends. Men don''t like to lose to rivals. But you''re not my rival. You''re my sweetheart."


    "Ew... That''s gross." Steve made a gesture of vomiting.


    "Who''s that?" Johan heard someone knocking at the door.


    "It''s Miss Renee." The housekeeper looked a bit embarrassed. After all, everyone knew what Renee


    had done.


    Renee pretended to be good. She even brought gifts here. "Grandpa, Happy New Year."


    No one turned down a new year''s guest, right? She decided to please them first and then bring up


    the five million thing.


    "Put down the gifts and go." Johan never liked Carmen and her kids in the first ce. Now that he


    knew Renee was not Ben''s child, he did not even want to see her.


    Tracey immediately knew why Renee was here, because Renee looked guilty. But she didn''t care.


    Renee was like a stranger to her now.


    Ben found that Renee looked travel- worn and weary. "Have you eaten? If not, stay here for lunch."


    He didn''t have the heart to kick her out on New Year''s. That was exactly what Renee wanted. She


    was so busy arguing with Edgar just now that she forgot to eat.


    She always felt that the Xia Residence was her home. She had stayed in this ce for so many


    years.


    "Oh, you''re ying chess. Can I join you?" Renee wanted to be one of them.


    "Fine," said Steve.


    After the game started, Renee found that she was not even in their league. She was up against the


    best in the business.


    It was like a kindergarten student ying chess with doctors. She lost quickly, and the others were


    still in the race.


    It was just a game, but it showed that she didn''t belong in their world. Only Tracey was the real


    daughter of the Xia family, who was not inferior to men.


    "Grandpa, I won." Tracey smiled.


    "You got Adam''s help." Johan deliberately said with anger, "I''m not ying chess with couples."


    "It''s time to eat." The housekeeper was really happy when he found that Johan was in a good


    mood.


    At the table, Steve and Adam kept serving Tracey food. Both of them were used to taking care of


    her.


    Seeing this, Renee felt very ufortable. Wasn''t Tracey a slut? She knew how Steve felt about


    her, but she let him stay at her family.


    What was wrong with Ben? Why did he treat Steve so well instead of kicking him out?


    "Tracey, I hear your newpany is doing well. I was hoping you''d take over the family business,


    but now it''s not good enough for you."


    "Dad, don''t be silly. Xia''s Group is doing great with you. And you''re so young that you can run it for


    at least another ten years. I''m trying to make something of myself now." "That''s my girl. You''re just


    like I was when I was young. Don''t worry about Xia''s Group.


    "I''ve given you all my shares and you''re now the biggest shareholder. You can take it over at any


    time.


    "You know what? My friends are jealous of me having such a capable granddaughter.


    "Even Aydan, who used to be against me, likes you very much. He always praises you."


    They were just chatting, but every word of them pierced Renee''s heart.


    Xia''s Group used to be what she wanted most, but now it was Tracey''s.


    Everyone praised Tracey and despised her.


    "By the way, don''t let work keep you guys from getting married. Aydan and I have been talking


    about this."


    "Grandpa, don''t be anxious. Adam''s working on a big project in Europe. He''ll be very busy in the


    next few months, and so am I. We''ll talk about the wedding in April."


    "Isn''t it a bitte? The wedding in on June 29th."


    "What? Why don''t we know that?"

    "A tarot master checked out your horoscope and


    Adam''s, and he said you two were a good match." "That''s ridiculous. Grandpa, since when did you


    believe in tarot? He was just saying that to make you happy." Tracey smiled.


    "I don''t think so. He''s famous in the Tarot game! Forget it. You won''t understand.


    "He also said you''d have a rocky road before you got married, but everything would be fine after


    that. I even wanted you to get married tomorrow.


    "But he said June 29th was the best day. He told you to trust each other no matter what happened.


    "As long as you held each other''s hand, you''d be happy forever. I''ve heard about your story. You


    deserve happiness."


    "Grandpa, we know." Tracey didn''t take it seriously, because she thought it was superstition.


    Renee was eating quietly. Theypletely ignored her, so she never got a chance to talk.


    As soon as she finished eating, she said to Ben, "Uncle, l-l have something to say to you. Can we


    talk outside?"


    Upon hearing her words, Johan got angry. "Why outside? Just say it here."


    Renee''s expression changed. Johan was stubborn, and she didn''t dare to go against him.


    "Go ahead." Ben looked at her.
