Chapter 714


    Seeing Jane, Carmen was embarrassed.


    "Why are you here?"


    Jane answered pointedly, "Miss Tracey hired me. She''s generous and not as finicky as someone I


    used to serve."


    After being fired by Carmen, Jane had worked as a cleaner, which was arduous and low-paid.


    When Tracey had seen her in the sales department, she''d offered her toe back as the nanny.


    She''d even paid insurance for Jane and gave her bonuses on holidays.


    She wouldn''t have dared to talk to Carmen like this before, but now since Carmen had fallen off her


    pedestal, she had nothing to fear.


    Carmen knew she''d been mean to her servants and regretted it very much.

    "Jane, I''m sorry for what happened between us, but we''re here today for Mr. Xiao."


    "Sir is sleeping. Come back tomorrow." Jane said and was about to close the door.


    "Wait. We have something important to tell Adam. You''re the one to me if he misses it." Leo


    didn''t expect that a nanny had the nerve to be rude to


    them.


    "Wait here." Jane hesitated for seconds and said.


    After a few minutes, Jane came down and said, "Come in."


    This was the first time Carmen had visited Tracey''s ce. It was surprisingly small.


    200 square meters were enough for a couple, butpared with their counterparts, they kept a low


    profile.


    After leading Carmen and Leo to the living room, Jane left without a word.


    It was heart-stoppingly quiet. Carmen was thirsty but she didn''t think Jane would bring her water.


    Footsteps were approaching, unhurried but giving them creeps. Leo was so nervous that the ce


    where Adam had whipped with a cane seemed to sting again.


    With the descending of intangible pressure, Adam showed up.


    Adam was dressed casually today, but his intimidating aura sent a shudder down Carmen''s spine.


    "What brings you here?" Adam asked.


    He had circles under his sunken eyes.


    "Mr. Xiao, we are here for Renee."


    "Renee?" Adam''s voice became colder, "Don''t worry. I won''t unleash my anger on you." He reclined


    on the sofa like anguid lion.


    Carmen bit her lip and started, "We''ve seen the news. Do you know what happened exactly, Mr.


    Xiao?"


    "Renee sneaked onto the ship and tried to kill Tracey with a knife. Someone tampered with the


    banisters so Tracey fell overboard when fighting back."


    Carmen frowned. It became even moreplicated. "Then why did Renee fall into the sea too?"


    "The person who tampered with the banisters pushed her into water. Two birds with one stone."


    Adam hissed. Renee was a victim too but it didn''t alter the fact that she was a murderer.


    "Mr. Xiao, who is the mastermind behind all this?"


    "Ask your good daughter. She was used as a pawn and got herself killed. Useless imbecile." Adam


    sneered.


    "Renee is so young and impressionable. She keeps many secrets from after she grew up. Please


    go on." Carmen almost cried. She shouldn''t have let Renee leave.


    Adam had Renee investigated and intelligence sent back confirmed his inkling that someone had


    talked Renee into killing Tracey.


    "Do you know Ro?" He asked.


    "Of course. He''s my sister''s boyfriend. A good man." Leo arched an eyebrow proudly.


    Carmen felt uneasy when Adam mentioned Ro. She didn''t like that man very much.


    She couldn''t figure out why he liked Renee.


    "A good man?" Adam snorted, "He''s so good that he made your sister the scapegoat. I have to


    admit he ys his cards well."


    "Impossible. Ro is not that kind of person. I got detained in a casino before and it was he who


    paid one million dors for my release. He even offered me a job in hispany."


    Carmen''s adroitness didn''t pass down to her son and daughter. They were naive and credulous.


    "Really? What if I tell you he traded your sister''s life for that one million?"


    "Nonsense, Adam. Don''t judge everybody''s mind by your own vile one."


    Carmen red at Leo and stopped him. "Leo, shut up. Don''t forget why we''re here!"


    Carmen knew that Adam was in no mood for nder.


    "Mr. Xiao, if Ro is the one behind all this, why didn''t he kill Tracey directly? Why did he bother to


    bond with Renee?" Carmen immediately got to the point.


    "He needed a scapegoat. He deluded everyone into thinking that Renee was the culprit."


    "But he''s a pawn too. He answers to someone else."


    "Who?" Carmen was shocked.
