Being held by Renee suddenly, Ben was surprised. "Why are you still here?”
Although Ben didn't ask Renee to leave the company, with such an embarrassing thing happening, he thought Renee wouldn't dare to come again. Out of imagination, she appeared.
"Dad, although I am not your biological daughter, we have been together for so many years. I'm living hard life these days." Renee's face was pale, and she hoped that Ben could be gentle to her like before.
Ben felt funny for her words. If there must be someone to live miserably, he deemed he was the one.
He hadn’t recovered from the blow he had two days ago, and the family scandal was now spreading outside. When people saw Ben, they were casting sympathetic eyes over.
Now the whole world knew that he was cuckolded, and he raised children for another man for twenty years. Besides, he insisted on living with the mistress and his original wife was choked to death.
Some people laughed at his stupidity, while others scolded him a jerk. They despised this man for letting an evil woman in to make his biological daughter be tortured.
"You're living a hard life? I am living a hard life! Please let me go, I'm not your father." Ben said with a cold face.
He was not an indiscriminate person. If not knowing that Renee and Leo tortured Tracey, he might not have slid the adult's mistakes on children.
Only when Tracey told everybody her miserable past, did Ben know he was a bastard. He couldn’t forgive himself for bringing two devils to harm his real daughter.
With the bullying on Tracey, he would never let go of his hatred toward Renee.
"Dad, how can you be so heartless? I still remember you like to raise me up high, and you would buy anything I want for me. You were so gentle, considerate, and merciful, it’s ok that I am not your biological daughter, but in my heart, you are my dad, the only one."
Renee hurriedly expressed her loyalty, hoping Ben still cherished their kinship.
"Yeah, I love you like a treasure, but what did you do? You and Leo bullied Tracey and wronged her."
"Dad, it's mom who taught us to do so. We were so young then and we lacked judgement. I know it's unfair to Tracey, so I've always wanted to apologize to her."
In order to return to the Xia family, Renee was trying to find all the pleasing words to say.
"Whether you apologize or not, that's your business. I have to go." Ben had completely seen through Carmen and her children, and he would never be fooled by them in the future.
The better he treated Renee, the more unfair it was to Tracey. If he could see the truth at the beginning, he would not have lost Venus, nor would not have brought so much sorrow to Tracey.
"Dad, Leo is still kept in the police station. You don't care about him either?" Seeing that the elevator was coming, Renee hurriedly grasped Ben.
Ben frowned. If Renee didn't mention Leo, he might not recall the dangerous scene at the hotel. If Tina didn't subdue Leo, Ben dared not to think of the consequence.
"Get out. You know who is your father, go to him." Ben shook off Renee's hand, and she watched Ben disappear in the elevator.
"Dad, you can't do this to me." Renee patted the elevator and shouted.
Some people who got off the work happened to see this scene. They looked at Renee with strange eyes. "How thick-skinned she is, she is not the miss of the Xia family but still not giving up!" One of them said.
"Of course, who reluctant to let go of the Xia family? But President Xia obviously wanted to deny her, unbelievably, she still called him dad!" A woman said disdainfully.
"President Xia must be too kind to be fooled. He didn't drive Renee out, and he was merciful enough."
"If I was President Xia, I wouldn't want to see Renee any longer. I'll expel her from the company forever." another person said.
"What are you talking about?!" Renee looked at these women angrily. Now the passers-by dared to ridicule her as they wished.
"What? Miss Xia, you haven't heard it yet? Let me tell you again, we said that you are very thick-skinned, even thicker than the floor tiles under our foot!
