Sean and Rachel also knew about the 80th birthday party of Old Master Xia, including the news that his granddaughter will engage at the party.
Sean didn't know it at the beginning, Rachel deliberately forwarded the message to tell him. "Tracey is an old friend of ours, we should go and congratulate her.”
When reading this message, Sean felt like a bug biting his heart. It was painful.
He did not reply to Rachel. In fact, their marriage would go after the Old Master Xia's birthday party, which was carefully planned by Old Master Sheng.
Although Sean had started to manage the company, the shares had not yet passed on to him until he getting married. For fear that Sean would be disobedient like Adam, Old Master Sheng thought of this way to ensure the marriage happening.
Marriage alliance was always a useful tool for wealthy families to grow family power. Rachel was the only daughter of the Nan family, when she married Sean, the Nan family would be the joint forces of the Sheng family.
Two families should work together to engulf Xia's Group step by step, this was Old Master Sheng's ambition, it was also the reason why he was so hostile to Old Master Xia.
Every controller of the company wanted to be at the top and let other companies be beyond their reach. Adam was the first choice of Old Master Sheng to help achieve his goal.
What he should do first was to marry Ms. Luo, which made Adam disgusted all the time.
Besides, Sean and Adam fell out because of Tracey, and it made Old Master Sheng hated the Xia family more. He hoped to fulfill his wish soon, so he gave Adam a last chance.
He decided if he was rejected once again, he would not be considerate anymore and would hand over full power to Sean.
After hearing about the engagement, Renee ran to Carmen's apartment with tears. She didn't have a boyfriend recently, then the engagement must be about Tracey.
She was extremely sad. "Mom, Tracey is now the vice president of the company, and she is engaged to Adam soon. How can I compare with her?"
Carmen suffered a cold after that heavy rain night, she now looked weak and lay on the bed with no strength. Renee had been complaining for a while by her bed.
Since she had entered the apartment, she had always scolded Tracey but fully ignored Carmen's sickness.
"Don't cry, okay?" Carmen said in a haggard voice.
"Mom, I'm reluctant. Why did Tracey take all the benefits? Why don't I have such good luck like her?" Renee's eyes were already red like peaches in tears.
"Cry, cry, cry! When can you do something except crying?! Do tears help? If you hate her, then remove
her!" Carmen was annoyed by Renee's look.
"Yes, removing her, sounded so easy, but I’m no match for her!"
"So you turn to crying?"
