Tracy lay down, but was pulled up again.
She turned her head angrily and was about to lose her temper.
"Change your clothes and go downstairs for dinner."
Before she could curse, she was interrupted by a sullen voice.
Tracy was stunned by Brody's attitude.
Brody?
Did he say that?
His reaction was quite different from what she had thought. She thought that he would "torture" her and make her admit everything she didn't deserve.
Seeing that Tracy was still in a daze, Brody pulled a long face again.
"Get out of here --"
When Tracy realized what was going on, she saw the dark face of Brody and said in a soft voice.
She looked around the bedside and wondered?
Where did you get these clothes?
She stared at him with strange eyes once again.
As he looked at the stunned Tracy, the corners of his mouth twitched a little.
After saying that, he walked out of the office, while Tracy was still in a daze.
After a short while, she came back to her senses and said through the corners of her mouth, "don't think that I will be grateful for your help even if you believe me once."
She grabbed her clothes at the bedside and unbuttoned herself.
As she was whispering, Brody went outside quietly. He heard every word she said.
After she refreshed her face and rinsed her mouth, she went to Ray's room. She was not a fool.
Ray should have known more or less what was going on.
But there was no one in the bedroom.
When she came downstairs, she saw Brody and his son sitting at the table.
Tracy walked over silently and glanced at Ray cautiously.
He sat in front of the table in silence and looked at her. Although his face was not radiant, it had returned to be normal as before.
With a secret sigh of relief, she walked forward and touched Ray's head.
As expected, the two cold eyes behind her looked at her. Even if she didn't look back, she could still feel the disgust and dislike from them.
She withdrew her hand and sat beside Ray.
In the process of the meal, she felt particularly depressed. After the meal, she had thought to find a chance to talk with Ray, However, she could feel was the malicious and insidious eyes from Brody, and he took Ray away.
Ray didn't say a word either.
A stubborn son and a uncertain father, Tracy felt totally powerless.
It was really the father and son.
She had thought she wouldn't have any hope any more. However, when she followed the way of the study, a gentle voice was heard from inside.
"Ray, tell me all that you know, okay?"
The sound of Brody's pleading made Tracy uncomfortable for a moment.
Maybe he could be kind to anyone, but not to her.
The door of the study was shut tightly. Unable to control herself, Tracy involuntarily stepped forward, eager to hear what they were talking about.
Ray could not speak, so she could only guess what had happened between them only by "an answer" from Brody.
"Don't you want to tell me or don't you know?"
Brody asked again patiently
She held her breath, her heart pounding violently as if she was going to jump out of her chest if she found anything wrong.
"Is it because Auntie threatened you not to tell me?"
Hearing his words, Tracy felt as if a knife were piercing her heart.
She looked dispirited and dull, staring at the closed door of the study.
Brody, you still don't believe me, do you?
After composing herself, she forced herself to suppress the pain rolling in her heart. She suddenly plucked up her courage and pushed the door open.
The people standing on the ground turned around at the same time and looked at her in surprise, but very soon Brody's face calmed down.
