His Domineering Lover
Chapter 121

As soon as Ben pushed the door open, he saw Carmen was slapping her daughter. After a while, Tracey ran toward Ben with tears. "Dad... I miss you so much." No father would not be touched by such words.

Tracey was his treasure in the past. Before Renee and Leo came, all his love was for her.

Later, under Carmen's instigation, Renee and Leo often deliberately did some bad things to frame Tracey.

At that time, Tracey was innocent and kind-hearted. How could she defeat them? Naturally, she left a bad impression on her father.

From then on, Ben's trust in her was getting less. Tracey hated them and was not willing to get along with them.

As a result, she felt distant from her father more and more. However, today's Tracey was no longer the little one that Carmen could bully easily.

She was even better at controlling people's feelings than Carmen. Now that she threw herself into Ben's arms, he naturally felt distressed.

"Tracey, are you finally willing to come back? I can't get through to you in the past few years. You didn't even come back during the Spring Festival."

Ben felt guilty for her mother's death, and now he transferred this guilt to their daughter.

The promise he made to punish Tracey well last night had been totally forgotten by him, all he cared about was their reunion!

"Dad, I wish I could come back, but..." She wanted to say more but stopped after thinking over. Her voice was choked with sobs. Which man would not be moved? Not to mention that he was her father. "Tracey, what happened?" Ben saw her aggrieved look, especially her eyes, which seemed to be so watery!

"Nothing." Tracey said while glancing at Carmen. Such a glance obviously revealed Tracey's fear of her.

Now Carmen had learnt Tracey's means. She was now so good at acting!

Ben thought of the scene he saw when he entered the house. "Did someone threaten you?"

Tracey nodded, but immediately shook her head, her eyes flashed with timidity. Ben was a typical male chauvinist, and he had a straight personality.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fooled by Carmen all the time but he had never known it at all. Only until this moment, Tracey's expression and look made him understand something.

"Did you threaten her?" Ben looked at Carmen.

Carmen hurridly showed grievance. "Dear, she is the well-known First Miss of the Xia family. How dare I threaten her?"

Tracey did not say anything, only stood behind Ben. Her cautious look made Ben feel guilty much more.

"Tracey, don't be afraid, I'm here. Just tell me what happened." He pushed Tracey out from behind.

Tracey looked up at Carmen and quickly looked away as if she was extremely scared. "I, I dare not. I'm afraid that she will hit me!"

Carmen was furious. "Tracey Xia, I didn't expect you are quite good at acting! You didn't behave like this just now. Honey, she hit me first!"

"I didn't! You slapped me, and when you wanted to slap one more time, dad was coming, so you stop! You even scolded my mother and me, saying that you would drive me out of the Xia family and ask me to never come back!"

Tracey covered her cheek as if she had just been slapped hard. Tracey planned everything. She calculated the time and stimulated Carmen to hit, fortunately, Ben witnessed the truth, so her words were convinced.

"Tracey, are you hurt?" Ben checked her face to see if there was any mark left.

Tracey shook her head. "Dad, I don't have a mother anymore. I can't live without you. If she wants me to leave, where can I go?" As she spoke, tears were falling down.

Such a sad look made Ben distressed. "I am here, no one can bully you in the future! You are a child of the Xia family forever, who dares to drive you away?"

"Honey, don't listen to her nonsense. She slapped me first. Look, there's still marks." Carmen pointed at her cheek.

When Tracey hit her, she didn't use too much strength, so there was not any marks left at all. Ben lowered his head and asked Tracey, "Did you hit her?" "Dad, how dare I? Do you think I wanna die? Carmen, you said that I hit you. Who can prove it?" Tracey was sure that there was no evidence.

"Of course, Lily, Lily..." Carmen tried to call the housekeeper back. But she suddenly thought that she had already sent her away before Tracey slapping.

There were only them in the hall. "Was Tracey deliberately saying those things in order to make people being sent away?" Carmen thought.

No people here, the real her would be exposed. "Maybe even her slap was under planned. If that was the case, this woman was literally so horrible!" Carmen continued her thoughts.

From the beginning, every word Tracey said was carefully planned, but Carmen didn't feel that she had fallen into Tracey's trap at all.

"Lily is not here. Who can testify for you? In short, I only believe in my own eyes. What I saw is that you hit Tracey!" Ben felt more that Carmen was lying.

"Dad, I, I'm fine. I think Carmen was just not happy to see me. She hit me because she was a little excited. It doesn't hurt."

Every single word of Tracey had driven Carmen mad. This woman had not only changed but also had become so tricky!

The more Tracey played weakly, the more it would arouse Ben's pity. Ben was not a fool and he knew what Carmen wanted.

But he didn't expect that Carmen would bully his daughter behind. "Tracey, don't be afraid, No one can bully you in this family in the future. If anyone did, just tell me!" "Okay..." Tracey nodded.

Ben took her hand and sat down on the sofa. "Tell Dad how you have been in the United States over these years?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you another day. By the way, this is a gift for you." Tracey took out a tie from the bag beside her.

"Thank you, my girl, I love it." Ben's face was full of smiles. Compared to Tracey, Renee and Leo only treated him as an ATM.

Every time they came to him was for money or gifts. They had never given him any gift. It didn't matter what Tracey bought, the most important thing was her kindness.

Tracey took out a silk scarf from another bag for Carmen. "This is for you. Do you like it?" Tracey's voice was gentle, but only Carmen could recognize her complacence of success.
