Chapter 822
Although it had be a foregone conclusion, Ro still held a kind of expectation in his heart,
hoping that this was not true.
The corners of Reba''s mouth curled upwards, revealing a fiendish smile. "I don''t know if there''s
any misunderstanding but I don''t think I''ve mentioned signing contracts when I asked you toe
over."
Ro knew that he was made a fool of by know. What she said was true. She never said anything
about not signing the contracts, it was he who believed that was what he was going to do here
today.
"Reba...I have something to say to you." Ro only wanted an answer. This time, Reba
didn''t refuse.
The Second Elder left in a huff, while Tracey stayed to sign the contract. The Great Elder did not
say anything, after all, he was the only one who was aware of the bet.
No matter what was going on between Adam and Tracey, at least Tracey would be the head of
the family after the contract. He was not so stupid as to let the contract fly away.
Adam said to Tracey in a very gentle voice, "The contract was drawn by me personally. ording to
the result of our discussion that day, I have also made some amendments. You can have a look."
"Okay." Tracey read the contract quietly. When she saw the distribution of the profit, her eyes
widened. "I thought we were splitting the profit halfway, why is it forty-sixty now?"
As the project publisher, anyone working with the Bumblebee Corp would consider it a favor to have
the profit split halfway, not to mention now the Bumblebee is taking another step backward to take
only forty percent from the project.
Adam''s mouth curved into a smile. "You make it sound like it''s a bad deal for you. It''s the first time
that we twopanies have cooperated together in a hundred years. I decided to show my
sincerity with the ten percent and we might have more cooperations in the future."
In fact, the real reason was that Tracey took the position of the head of the family by this deal, and
everything she did would be put under the limelight as the center of attention. Adam wanted to do
everything in his power to help her.
"It''s not that I don''t like it. I''m already overwhelmed that you are willing to cooperate with us. I didn''t
expect you to make such a big concession." Tracey was actually quite shy about what Adam
said and did.
She now was feeling quite guilty about doubting Adam when she saw Ro downstairs.
Adam did not lie to her. From the terms of the contract, R Company was obviously profiting much
more in this than the Bumblebee.
"You can sign here if there''s nothing wrong with it." Adam reminded gently.
"Okay." Tracey lowered her head and signed.
"Let''s have lunch togetherter to celebrate the first cooperation of ourpanies." Adam
proposed.
"All right." Tracey nodded. "Grandpa Ramiro,e with us if you will."
Ramiro''s mood was quiteplicated after realizing he was trapped by Adam and also the fact that
Tracey would step up to the throne now.
How affectionate he was to be willing to pay so much money for a project like this.
"I''m not going. My appearance at a young people''s party would seem most odd. Mr. Xiao, I do,
however, like a word with you, if it suits you." Ramiro looked at Adam.
Adam knew what he was going to say, so he nodded to Tracey beside him and said, "Wait for me
here. I''ll be right back."
It was obvious that he could leave directly, but he told her before he left, which proved that he really
respected Tracey.
"Sure." Tracey was a little curious, but everyone had their own secrets, and it was inconvenient for
her to ask.
Ramiro and Adam went outside the door. "Did you do it on purpose?"
"Care to borate, Great Elder?" Adam yed dumb.
"There''s just us here. You don''t have to hide anymore. No one expected you to be the young
master, quite good at hiding, aren''t you? I presume Tracey never knew about it, even before her
amnesia, did she?"

"Tracey has never asked about it at all, and I didn''t bother telling her. Besides, what does it matter
who I am? I just needed to be there when it requires me to do so for her."
Ramiro looked at the affectionate man and asked, "Did you tell her your identity?"
"I''ve always been a man of my word. But I will confess everything to her once she sits on that
throne. I came to her side as a stranger. She fell in love with me again without knowing anything.
You have lost this bet." "A bet is a bet. I''ve lost indeed. I will no longer interfere with your affairs in
the future." Ramiro''s attitude was more free and easy than Adam imagined.
"That''s it?" Adam originally thought that Ramiro would be angry from embarrassment. After all, he
had schemed against him in this.
"What am I, Juliet''s father? What I did before was my duty, and my duty is fulfilled now. As for the
fact, Tracey fell for you again, that''s your doing.
"Tracey did say that the family rules are crooked. I agree with her and hope that she will be the one
to change them. She will do it soon, why should I be angry?"
Back then, Ramiro''s heart ached for Tracey''s grandmother. She had never had love, not real love,
for her entire life, plus, she even had no memory of her loved one. She suffered all her life and it
pained Ramiro to think about it.
Since Tracey''s appearance could break all this, he was very happy. Her like should not end in
hatred the way her grandmother''s did.
"Thank you." Adam also heard the helplessness in his words. It was not the Great Elder''s fault but
the family''s. In the future, Tracey would rewrite history.
"Take good care of her. Perhaps it''s really her misfortune to be born in this family." Ramiro sighed.
He had been in this family for a long time, and no one knew more about the misfortune of the head
of the family than he did.
"I will make her happy in the future, and there will be no more pain," Adam promised firmly.
"I believe you can do it." Ramiro''s wrinkled face also rxed a lot. "Now that she''s got the contract,
it makes her the head of the family. I can finally take down the burden on me."
"Thank you for your help."
"No gratitude is in order, at least not to me. Now, I assume it''s high time I paid a visit to the Second
Elder. He did, to be sure, suffered quite the blow today."
When the Second Elder came to thepany, he felt like the sess was right there for him to
grab, not foreseeing any sign of defeat.
His hard work for so long was in vain, and the blow dealt on him was indeed severe. The Great
Elder knew that he really didn''t do it for the sake of the family, but for the sake of power, for more
benefits in the future.
Now that all his efforts were to no avail, he must be devastated. And the Great Elder was not trying
to crow over the poor old man but to make him ept the facts. He was likely not to make any
attempts anymore.
Which was a good thing. At least he wouldn''t waste his time on what was never rightfully his.
