His Domineering Lover
Chapter 825

The sounds in the room stopped, and the whole world became serene. Rocco must have prepared something else after the audio and the projection but it was never gonna happen after what did happen today He should have given the flowers to the deliveryman in advance, but he didn't expect such a thing to come out of nowhere. He didn't have time to withdraw the delivery and it was sent to her. The room suddenly became quiet. If Rebecca had any doubts about what Rocco said, they were all gone by now.

If he was going to lie to her, he really didn't need to tell her these. He even told her how he wanted to get the contract in the first place.

Rebecca was seated on the ground covered in white rose petals. She leaned against the wall with her ears full of Rocco's voice.

She only knew that he was born in the Hawkins family, but she didn't know his real-life story. At this moment, Rebecca felt that she couldn't begin to hate him anymore, especially when she thought of the devastated expression on his face when he

left.

She stayed alone in that house for a long time. The layout of the house was arranged according to her preferences. He really wanted to have a home with her, but she knocked his hopes out and shattered them into pieces.

Only after returning to the company did Rocco remember what he had arranged before. He called the delivery company to cancel the order he had placed.

"I'm sorry, sir. The intern courier has already sent your order in advance. He should have handed it to the lady half an hour ago."

"Alright then." Rocco had no choice but to give a wry smile. Whatever was in that box was probably thrown to a dumpster by now, given that he was nothing but a villain in her eyes by now.

On the other side, Tracey was thrilled about getting the contract, so she specially invited Adam to have lunch.

There were a few times when Adam wanted to tell her the truth. In the end, he thought that in order to affect her mind, he would tell her after she became the family's head.

During lunch, Tracey had always been in high spirits. Especially when she thought of Rocco and the Second Elder's expressions back at the conference room, she felt as if she had a mouthful of candy, feeling dizzily overwhelmed by happiness.

"You know there's a pretty exaggerated smug on your face, right?" Adam said with a smile when he saw her happy face.

"To tell you the truth, this deal is very important to me. It's really a huge load off of me." Tracey said in relief.

"As long as you are happy." Adam looked at her tenderly as usual. Every time Tracey saw the gentleness as he looked at her, her heart would be as if pumped up by gasoline, beating wildly. After this whole thing, she had to keep a distance from him. Previously, it was for the project, and in the future, she could no longer find any other excuses to get close to him.

Tracey was very clear that if she continued to get in touch with him, it was very likely that she would really fall in love with him. Maybe she had already fallen for him but she could not allow that.

No matter how much she liked this man, she couldn't do anything that would hurt the baby's father. Although Tracey didn't know what happened to him, why didn't he show up?

Did he leave because she chose the family over him?

Tracey thought of many reasons in her mind. Adam obviously found that she was distracted. "A penny for your thoughts?"

"No, I was not... I..." Tracey hurriedly shook her head. How could she have the nerve to tell Adam that she was thinking about the child's father?

"You barely slept last night, did you? You don't need to go back to the company today. Go home and have a good rest first." Adam knew that pregnant women tended to have ever-changing emotions and the actual physical burden so he didn't find it peculiar.

"Right, sure." Tracey could officially become the family head after receiving the project, completely changing the current situation of the company and family.

During this period of time, although she temporarily took over her mother's position, the most important part of the company was still Rocco's hands. As the president, she didn't have much real power as if she were a puppet dancing on a string in someone else's hands. What she had to do now was to make that situation come to an absolute end.

The Great Elder had already summoned the whole family for a meeting. She only wanted to have a good sleep today. The meeting was set to be held at 8 a.m. on the next day's morning.

Adam sent Tracey back to the villa. Before getting off the car, Tracey politely said goodbye to him.

This day was a life-changer for many people. The whole family had known the fact that Tracey had gotten the contract.

With his career plummeting and his love lost, Rocco sat in his room from dusk to dawn sleeplessly. It was not until the servants came to urge him that he remembered he needed to be at the meeting.

All was lost to him. Rocco walked into the conference room calmly. He had thought that his mood would be very complicated. After all, he had failed and his dream had been shattered. His life would return to its original point, like the second before the cosmo formed itself, there was nothing, truly nothing but infinite darkness and void.

On the other hand, the burden on his shoulder could also be unloaded. He didn't have to fight for anything anymore. Life would be much less consuming for him and it even surprised him that he could come to face it all in such a composed manner.

It was all thanks to Rebecca. She let Rocco know how despicable it was to play others' true emotions just to achieve his own goal.

He felt like his heart was being peeled off inch by inch by a rusty shiver held in an amateur executioner's hand, the pain was dull and slow, reminding him this was the price he had to pay for what he had down. Tracey's spirit was totally different from that of Rocco. After going back yesterday, Rocco was bombarded by the Second Elder. Rocco didn't even utter a single syllable as the Second Elder was doing so. The words the Second Elder spat out were cruel and merciless, waking Rocco up from his dream, a dream where he thought the Second Elder was a man who deserved his respect. It was also then that Rocco realized he was nothing but a pawn in a chess game he was not even qualified to participate in.

It turned out that everything was fake, his family and his love alike.

Tracey felt strange when he saw Rocco's gloomy face. Rocco was not one to dwell on a lost contract in her eyes.

It was the exact same meeting room and the attendants were also the same people. The only thing different was the expression on the Second Elder's face.

At this moment, he lowered his head and seemed quite a little listless. As for the Great Elder, unlike others would have expected, was not gloating but was rather calm. The moment Tracey came into the room, everyone was hushed.

"Good morning, everyone." Tracey greeted. The people present did not dare to look down on Tracey like they had done the first time. All of them looked serious and did not dare to make even a sound." "Greetings." Someone muttered and the others echoed.

"I believe you all, hopefully, know why you have all been summoned. What you came here to bear witness to last time has come to a doubtless conclusion, that is, the mission set by me and the Second Elder has been completely by Tracey. According to what we agreed upon last time, she will now be inaugurated as the head of the family. Any objections?"
