"Impossible. I know what it costs to become a patriarch. And she won't give up her love." Tina was clear that Tracey and Adam were in deep love.
"Patriarch, you should be proud of your daughter. She is braver than you thought. Do you like to bet?"
"For what?" Tina was confused.
"Her love. I gave her FT2. If she finds her love once again, I will abolish the rule for her. If she fails, you two share the same fate, dying alone."
"What! You gave her FT2? Are you insane? Tracey is pregnant!"
"Don't worry. It has no side effects on pregnant women. She has confidence in herself, and you don't?"
"Freak! Insane! I will ruin the R family if something bad happens to my daughter!"
Tina completely lost control of herself. Her daughter was the most precious person for her in the world, and she didn't give a damn on the family responsibility at this moment. All she prayed for now was the safety of her daughter.
"Mom..."
She heard Tracey's voice when yelling over the phone with red eyes. Was it an auditory hallucination?
She turned around to find at the door Tracey, who smiled with tears rolling down her face.
Until this moment, Tracey heard the true thought of her mother, 'She would destroy her family for her daughter.'
"Tracey..." The time seemed to freeze at this second, so did the hand holding the phone.
The phone wasn't hung up, and Ramiro's voice came again, "I lied. It seems Tracey is already there."
"You..." Tina was speechless, as the serious Ramiro made a prank.
"I told her everything. She has three days to make a decision."
"Well, you two must have a lot to catch on, and I have to go now. Patriarch, your daughter is much stronger than you thought. You should trust her." After this, Ramiro hung up the phone.
Tracey rushed to Tina. Tina refused to meet Tracey after her existence was found out by Tracey again.
In Tracey's memory, Tina was tender and aloof.
However, Tina was lying on the bed feebly now. Tracey, remorseful, dashed toward Tina and fell in her arms.
"Mom, I know everything now. I won't leave you no matter what you do. Please don't push me away anymore!" Tracey regretted her departure halfway last time.
That day, Tina refused to meet her and sent Erica to drive her away. Tracey was still ignorant of Tina's plan then.
Tracey would like to get close to her mother and had some small talks like they did in her childhood, but Tina was determined to get Tracey out of the company.
Tina held Tracey in her arms tightly, tears rolling into Tracey's neck from Tina's face, "No, I won't drive you away anymore. I'm sorry."
Tina felt her heart being pierced when she refused to see Tracey or hung up her call deliberately.
