Renee turned to look at Carmen. "Mom, are you unfaithful to your marriage?"
"Let's talk about this later. I... I have my difficulties." Carmen behaved badly and dated numerous men when she was young.
She had restrained herself ever since she was in a relationship with Ben and got pregnant. She was ashamed now that her own affairs were exposed in front of her children.
"Dad, there must be a misunderstanding. Please don't kick Mom out, okay? It's still raining outside and it would be very dangerous to go out." Leo was also very worried.
"I have already given her time to pack but she has been procrastinating. No one can be blamed for this matter. Alright, you can leave now." Ben said coldly.
Carmen dragged the suitcase, carried a bag and walked towards the door step by step. She knew very well that Ben would drive her out personally if she did not leave on her own.
It was better for her to leave now rather than to wait for that moment to come. At least she would leave in a decent way instead of being driven away in a wretched manner.
"Wait." A cold voice sounded and Tracey was standing at the door. "You can't leave for the time being."
Carmen looked at her doubtfully. Was Tracey trying to play some tricks again? It did not matter as long as she could stay.
"Tracey, are you going to speak for her too?" Everybody looked at Tracey at the same time.
Tracey would be involved whenever there were changes. Did she suddenly change her mind? How could it be possible? She should be the one who wanted Carmen to leave most in the room.
Just as everyone was guessing what Tracey was going to do, she eventually spoke, "Dad, have you forgotten that you said that you would let her to take away the things she owned?
This room used to be my mother's room. Who knows if she has taken away the things that belonged to my mom or the Xia family. I want her to open her luggage so that I can check."
It was outrageous. Carmen couldn't stay calm anymore when she heard Tracey’s insulting words. "Tracey, am I a thief? You still need to check my luggage. I also have human rights. You will be invading my privacy if you do so."
"Aunt Liu, why are you so angry? If you have nothing to hide, you can open your luggage to prove your innocence. The angrier you get, the more it proves that you are guilty."
Tracey thought of her mother’s back who was standing alone in the rain ten years ago. Her mother might seem weak but she was actually very arrogant and stubborn.
Ben told her that he would come back. Even though she knew that he was having a birthday party with another family, she still stood stubbornly in the rain and waited for him.
That was because by standing at the spot, she could see Ben coming back at first sight. She got sick after that due to the downpour.
Although it aroused Ben's guilt, it also caused Carmen to retaliate more fiercely by sending her mother indecent photos or videos every now and then.
Although Carmen did not appear publicly at that time, she had tortured her mother mentally for many years. It would be too easy to just kick Carmen out at the moment.
Since Carmen liked to play dirty, Tracey would strip off Carmen's disguise and crush her self-esteem!
"You don't need to provoke me. I'll open it." Carmen was furious and she threw her luggage to the ground.
"Look, is there anything that you're looking for?"
