Come Back to Me

Chapter 39 No Conspiracy (Part One)

At dinner time, in a trance, Tracy just ate a few mouthfuls of food and went upstairs.

She couldn't get what had happened in the daytime out of her mind.

Though she didn't know who her mother was, it seemed that she had gotten the goods on Elsa because she had been insulted by her.

In fact, she was shocked when she knew the identity of Charlie at first.

While slowly stepping on the stairs, Tracy gave a self mocking smile and said, "They are true a family!"

It sounded like a promise.

'liar! You guys!'.

In a trance, Tracy walked into her bedroom with a pair of black, thoughtful eyes fixed on her.

When Tracy entered and closed the door, it was opened again.

A handsome but chilling face was in front of her.

After a short while, Tracy turned around.

But, before she could move a step, a strong arm stretched out from behind and pulled her back.

Tracy was confused, but her face remained cold.

She remained silent, staring blankly at his black eyes.

"You go to XS group in person just for that money?"

He asked calmly with a hint of doubt in his tone.

However, his words stirred up resentment in Tracy's heart. She raised her eyes and looked at him with the same disdain in her eyes, and said, "people die for wealth, birds die for food. Why do you think that I will give up that old lady's fortune in her remaining years, especially in the Society of wildly sought after wealth? You should know how important money is."

Tracy's words made Brody frown.

He stared at her with his black eyes and said helplessly, "you misunderstood me!"

He looked at her, speechless. There were so many "long windedness" thanks to his simple words.

With a cold smile, Tracy fixed her eyes on him and said indifferently, "Okay, even if I misunderstood you."

She didn't want to argue with others any more because too many things had made her feel restless.

She went to take part in the competition just out of curiosity.

If she had known that such a result would be like this, she would have chosen to escape from the competition from the very beginning.

Her attitude also caused a man's displeasure, and his tone was also indifferent, even a little colder. "The final result is to be reckless, and go to the XS group regardless of any consequences."

He also stared at her unyielding and somewhat cold eyes.

The irony in his tone was obvious.

"Are you so sure that I go to XS group in vain today?"

She looked at him. There was a glimmer of wisdom in her black eyes.

She looked so stubborn as if she was bet with him.

An unnoticeable smile crept on his lips. Brody seemed to be interested in what she said.

"Have a try --"

He said lightly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The implication was clear. She bet whether it was useful to go to the XS group rashly.

Brody uncertain attitude made Tracy feel even worse.

She turned her head angrily and said coldly, "whatever. I'm not interested in playing house games with you."

In fact, she was not sure whether the carelessness Charlie would give her a surprising reply, but the sight of the assurance in her eyes made her feel very uncomfortable.

His eyes made her feel like she was played by him at that moment.

After saying that, Tracy turned around, with her big and clear eyes shining.

It seemed that neither Charlie nor Brody could credible.

There was only one person she could trust, Ben.

However, Tracy had been wearing a sad face since her last romantic encounter in the casino.

It's not even convenient to look for Ben.

She just didn't want to bother him.

After being stunned for a long time, a pair of arms suddenly domineeringly pulled her into his arms.

After a short while, Tracy came to her senses and began to struggle.

Her resolute action annoyed the man behind.

"Don't move."

Brody ordered in a stern voice.

Being cast a spell, Tracy stood still.

She would be stiff.

She couldn't believe that Brody was so "kind" to her today.

Uncertain.

There was an atmosphere of ambiguity.

Tracy wriggled uneasily, trying to break free from Debbie's embrace.

"Let me go..."

She asked stiffly.

"Shut up, and do your duty!" Brody pulled a long face.

As soon as Tracy heard that, she was enraged all of a sudden. She struggled to free herself from his grip, raised her head and said angrily, "don't go any further..."

"Well..." Her lips were covered by a kiss before she could finish her words.

The next evening

When the lights were off, the whole C city was ablaze with light. The casino was luxuriously decorated.

It was still the VIP box where she had held the party three years ago. Tracy opened the door and was stunned the moment she stepped in.

"Ben..."

She looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect him to be here.

The man said, raising the corners of his mouth. His serious face was still with a look of pampering.

"Why are you here?"

Tracy stared at him in surprise. In fact, she planned to call Ben after she sat in the private room.

But now it seemed a lot more convenient.

Ben had long legs and crossed. He leaned forward gracefully to take the wine glass on the table.

"I'm waiting for you."

A mellow voice came through the crowd.

She didn't plan to explain more.

With a broad smile on her face, Tracy said, "how do you know that? And you are so punctual."

She rushed to the table and picked up the wine glass.

Under the colorful and not dazzling light, Tracy sat beside him.

There was a mysterious and sexy expression on his cold and handsome face.

"Go get some money and come back empty handed."

Ben seemed leisurely and his tone was more relaxed.

In a daze, Tracy soon understood the banter in Ben's words.

She looked embarrassed, and then said angrily, "this is not your excuse to make fun of me."

Damn it, it was she who went to XS group regardless of the consequences alone, wasn't it?

How could they make fun of it.

Helplessly, Ben pressed his lips and whispered, "it's just a fortune. Why are you so interested in it?"

After some hesitation, Tracy looked him up and down under the light and replied, "no, I don't think so. I just felt that the competition was held for no reason. Besides, the bonus is all the assets of the old woman's own in her life. Don't you think it's a big deal?"

Ben didn't answer but shook the glass in his hand leisurely, and the water in the glass made small ripples in it.

Seeing that Ben remained silent, Tracy got even more anxious.

In fact, she didn't have to ask about the property. In other words, she could forget it completely in that game.

The reason why he was so persistent and curious was Brody.

Thinking of his self righteous and arrogant face, she felt angry.

Therefore, she must figure out that wealth and the identity of the old lady.

Ben turned her head. Her eyes became stern, but her doting look was obvious.

"You are being nosy,"

As soon as his words faded away, a tinge of affection flashed across his deep eyes. In the dazzling light, Tracy's side face looked even more charming.

It seemed that somewhere soft in his body was slowly sinking into it.

His thoughts seemed to have returned to three years ago.

It was an impolite and rude girl. How could she break into the room? Did she look aggrieved and try to gamble.
