Chapter 301
Carmen explained in a panic. She planned to come back but she was getting on Ben’s nerves at the moment. This would only make them more distant from each other.
She did not pay attention to Ben previously because she didn't believe that he would be so heartless to check her luggage. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Carmen did not expect that Tracey would eventually check her luggage. Tracey looked at her with a mocking look when she was caught red-handed.
"Aunt Liu, does Dad treat you badly all these years? Look at all these jewlry in your suitcase.
Which item is not bought by my father? They are not enough for you that you even took the things left by my mother.
The bracelet was a token of love that my father gave her back then. My mother's name was engraved on it. She loved these things the most when she was alive.
She would wipe these jewelry every day when she was still alive and you tried to take them away. Aren't you afraid that my mother will come for you at night?"
Tracey spoke a low voice. It scared Carmen so much that she sat on the ground with sweat dripping on her head.
Ben could still remember Venus' shy face when he saw the bracelet. The wonderful memories were ruined by Carmen.
"I have changed my mind. You can't take away all these jewelry! Although I spent my money to buy these for you, they all belonged to the Xia family." Ben said coldly.
Carmen was very anxious at the moment. "Ben, how can you do this to me? I have wasted my youth staying with you for so many years. I even gave birth to Leo and Renee. How can you do this to me?"
Tve done my best over the years and I'm confident that I have fulfilled my duty as a father and husband. I have given you a good life filled with wealth and allowed you to live a glorious life among your peers.
I've taken good care of you and I never been slacked. But what else have you done other than giving birth to Leo and Renee? They were brought up by the nanny since childhood. What else do you do other than spending money on skincare, clothes and shopping every day?"
"I've been with you for so many years but you never get us a marriage certificate. You still want me to leave without anything. Ben, don't you feel guilty?"
Carmen began to settle the scores. She said that she didn't care about status previously and she only wanted to be with together with Ben.
However, Carmen acted differently at the moment. Ben looked at her coldly and said, "Apart from not giving you a title, where else did I not do well? The household register has always been in the hands of
my father. You know about it too but you are blaming me now."
The more aggressive Ben and argued, the happier Tracey became. Carmen only took a few pieces of clothes. It was obvious that she planned to return to the Xia family.
Tracey was the one who caused Carmen to leave the family. How could she let her come back? Carmen was indeed whimsical.
She had it coming. Ben would probably give up on her completely after this incident. It would be even more interesting when the paternity report came out.
"Alright. We're husband and wife after all. I don't want things to be too ugly. You can leave these jewelry here and leave on your own." Ben looked extremely tired.
He saw Carmen’s ugly behavior and could not recognize her just now.
"Okay, you can take keep all of them." Carmen took out all the jewelry and left angrily with a somewhat empty suitcase.
"Dad, quickly say something. Where do you want Mom to go in this heavy rain?"
"Dad, I am begging you. Please let Mom stay. You have been together for so many years, why make such a fuss now? Other people would laugh at us if they know about this."
"It doesn't matter if they ridicule or talk about this matter. The matter is settled. I'm sorry but I can't compromise and spend the rest of my life with her.
Carmen, I've told you that you could leave decently. Making a scene like this won't change anything. On the contrary, everybody's emotion is affected." Ben replied indifferently.
"You don’t have to rush me out. I’ll leave on my own." Carmen stopped begging Ben in a humble way because she knew very well that it was useless for her to say anything at the moment.
Especially when Tracey was present. If she didn't leave, Tracey would still find a way to force her to do so. She might as well leave. She just felt that it was a pity.
"Aunt Liu, we’ve known each other for a while now. Let me call a taxi for you." Tracey came up to Carmen with a smile.
"You don’t need to pretend to be nice!"
Carmen dragged her suitcase to the door. She was greeted by a violent storm when she opened the door. A bolt of lightning flashed by, causing her to tremble in shock.
The cold air made her heart tremble. She had left the place many times previously, but never once was she in such a mood.
She initially planned to leave and only come back when Ben’s anger subsided. However, it did not seem as simple as she had thought.
She had a feeling that she would never have the opportunity to return if she left this time. Her departure would be forever.
"Mom, don’t go. What do we do if you leave?" Renee broke into tears.
Carmen felt helpless when she was tugged by Renee. Nobody would want to abandon their normal life and just leave like that. Carmen left because there was no way she could change the situation.
"Dad...''
"If you say one more word, you can leave together with her. I won't ask you to stay." Ben was tired of hearing Leo and Renee cry. His words caused the entire room to become quiet.
Leo and Renee had been crying and yelling because they didn't want Carmen to leave. Now that the matter was related to them, they didn't dare to speak anymore.
If they were also driven out of the Xia family, they would be cut off from their financial resources and lose their status in the Xia family. Nobody would be willing to give that up.
In short, everyone was greedy for wealth and status. Carmen was a little disappointed. "I'm leaving. Take good care of yourselves."
"Mom, take care."
Tracey's lips curled into a smile when she saw Leo and Renee's behavior. Carmen really gave birth to two 'good' children who abandoned her at the critical moment.
They were so afraid to be expelled from the Xia family that they didn't even have the courage to send Carmen off to take a taxi. They were afraid that they would not be able to return if they stepped out of the door.
Was this how they treat their own mother? What a ridiculous kinship.
When Carmen walked out in her high heels, she realized that she had forgotten to take an umbrella because she had acted rashly just now. She was too ashamed to turn back and could only move ahead.
After Renee and Leo returned to their rooms gloomily, Tracey said to Ben, "Dad, it's so late. I knew Aunt Liu after all. I'll send her off."
"Tracey, you are the one who is compassionate."
