His Domineering Lover
Chapter 819

Only now did Rebecca nod. "But you better make sure it's big enough of a surprise."

"You bet it is."

"I have a surprise for you as well." Rebecca smiled mysteriously.

"Really? Then I guess it's on!" Rocco's surprise was the house, whose procedures were almost finished. He would surely make the whole house all cozy and warm. When Rocco was still waiting to sign the contract three days later, Tracey went on the field trip Adam promised her on the second day.

It was the first time they met on behalf of their own companies after they knew each other for such a long time.

Though both bearing deep feelings for each other, the two business geniuses valued the projects quite much.

Two companies that had never cooperated for a hundred years had teamed up for the first time, which was sure to cause an uproar in the industry.

The only reason Tracey wanted to get this done was that she wanted to be the head of the family.

But after getting the throne, each and everything she did from then on would be put under a magnifier, being closely watched.

In her heart, it was not just a task, but she wanted to do this job well and strive for the best interests of both companies.

It was the same with Adam, and he would not regard the whole company as nothing because of personal interests.

The two of them seemed to be going on a simple trip. Adam introduced the project, while Tracey took notes. They would discuss it from time to time and bring up some new opinions.

Adam finally understood why he liked her so much. After officially cooperating with Tracey, he realized how synchronized his thoughts were with Tracey's.

The most difficult thing in cooperation was to settle things that people have different opinions on.

But when two sides with different views never ceased to fight, that would bring doom to the whole cooperation. It would not only postpone the progress of the cooperation, but would even cause turmoil between the staff.

Sometimes it was not just the case between companies but could even happen inside a single company where two persons in charge had different points of view.

Previously, Adam had worried about how embarrassing it would be if he and Tracey were to have different views. He could compromise for Tracey in day-to-day life but he was never known to be soft on business.

He had never expected that his ideas would work so well with Tracey's. They were basically identical!

Women and men were born to have different ways of thinking, which made the fact that the two of them were always thinking the same thing even more pleasingly shocking to Adam.

They were planning on setting down a draft plan in three days but the day went too smoothly and they finished basically everything in one day.

"Quite a long day, wasn't it?" Adam said as he looked at her exhausted expression, remembering how she would take a nap in the afternoon in the past.

Today, they were in the car most of the time. Adam said several times to let Tracey take a nap. However, Tracey was very dedicated to her job and did not want to rest at all. Adam had no choice but to listen to her, his tough Little Bunny.

After a tiring day, Tracey only wanted to have a good sleep at this moment. "Yeah, I'm really very tired. I just wanna get to bed now."

"Sure, I'll come back in two days for the contract. I'll give you some alone time in the next two days."

"Well, there won't be any changes in the contract, right?" Tracey was still worried and asked.

Adam smiled quietly and said, "Don't worry, nothing will change." He then stroked Tracey's head and said, "Go home and have a good rest." "Right."

"Night night."

"Night night."

With his promise, the burden in Tracey's heart would be lifted. Her becoming the head of the family was a done deal.

Indeed, Tracey did not contact Adam for the next two days. Since the contract had been confirmed, she could put it aside for the time being.

She began to research the family's final secret. Was it really like what the Great Elder said? Would the curse always exist?

In the past two days, she had been in the library at home. When the R family moved, they had brought a lot of documents with them. She even found some parchment scrolls in the library.

Tracey read some ancestral books about the family, some of which were difficult to recognize since they were written in Ancient Languages. On the last day, she accidentally found a book like a diary. From the statements in the library, the one who wrote it was also the head of the family. As for the time the diary was written, it could well date back to the last feudal empire of the country they moved out of. Could the owner of the diary be the one who changed the course of the family's history and moved the who family to Country S?

She probably didn't dare to tell these things to others around her so she could only keep them down in a diary.

There was a paragraph in it that was likely written before that incident happened, which read,

"The Emperor ordered me to divine the fate of the country. In fact, there is no need for it, for I have seen the end."

"The chaos in the sky indicates the catastrophe befalling the country, just as the red I see in my divine for the family tells how disastrous it would be for us."

"The family has existed for so many years, and I can't bear to let it rot in my hands, so I can only go to the last step." "Good or bad I will do, I shall not know. For what I can know is I'll be taking on him the toll." Tracey could see the tear stains on the yellow papers even after so many years.

Who was this "he" in the diary?

Tracey continued to read. It turned out that the man in the diary was the one whose family was taken out from the root in her family's place.

Most of the later pages were filled with guilt. The head of the family had not had a day of happiness for the rest of her life. She had so many debts of life.

If it were Tracey, she knew she could not live a day with sunshine ever again. Besides the guilt that could be seen everywhere in the diary, Tracey also found that the family leader seemed to have a relationship with this man.

That was to say, for the sake of her family's interest, she had harmed her loved one's family. Closing the diary full of memories, Tracey felt her heart stuffed with an indescribable emotion.

She was wondering if the same befell her, what would she have done? Would she choose to sacrifice her loved one or her whole family?

Tracey thought about it for a long time but could not come up with an answer. In the end, she decided to just be grateful for not having to make that kind of miserable choice.

After reading the family story, Tracey did not find a way to lift the curse. In the words of the Great Elder, the debt of their family was incurred by loss of lives, thus it had to be paid back with lives.
