Ben didn't answer. In fact, he remembered that time. At that time, he really wanted to make her happy,
because after Tracy returned home, she refused to go abroad again, no matter whether she was alive
or dead. He had no choice. At that time, he thought that since Tracy had come back...
Brody knew what kind of person Brody was. So in fact, when Tracy left at the beginning, Ben had
already guessed the end. Tracy would finally be with him. In fact, they were really together. As for
Wendy's happiness... He gave it to her too late. She didn't want it anymore.
After a long time, Ben pushed away Wendy, his eyes still cold. He stared at her fiercely and said
domineeringly, "Don't go. I have explained to you that it was all because of Tracy. She was helpless at
that time..."
Wendy looked at him in despair and said, "Yes, Tracy has no one to rely on, but you never consider
me. You are always by her side, unwilling to leave; you can see her happiness, anger and sorrow when
you leave. So every time when she was most helpless. You can always keep her safe and warm, even
just once. You never thought about me. When you held her in your arms, you never thought about
where I was at that time, and how I spent my life at that time! "
"I said it was my fault!" Ben felt wronged and softened his tone.
"Ben, let me go!" Wendy said calmly. However, Ben was anxious. He pinched her shoulder with his big
hand. Gritting his teeth, he stared at her and said, "Wendy, can't you understand what I'm talking to
you? You know my temper. Don't push me. I don't want to do that to you! "
Wendy struggled hard, and the strength in his hand increased. Looking at her stubborn and resolute
eyes, he really hated her to pieces now.
"From now on... I will slowly make it up to you. How did you make up your mind to set the fire? "
Wendy smiled, "Let me tell you the truth. My sister-in-law taught me this idea. You see how smart she
is. Without her, you should feel extremely painful. Do you think I am really stupid and want to die?"
Ben looked at Wendy and asked, "That fire?"? Until now, he thought that Wendy was saved that night,
and then Wendy coldly explained to Ben, "That day... I didn't know how they knew. Anyway, I received
a call from my sister-in-law. She gave me the idea. She said... If I really want to leave you, don't be so
stupid to run away, because... It was at night, or in the early morning. You were nearby, if I left, When
you come back and find that I'm not in the room, you will definitely send someone to look for me. Of
course, I can't go far. It's easy to find me. Ten minutes... If there was a fire on the scene, it would be
different. When you drove back, the house had already been a sea of fire, and you would only think
that I was dead. And you wanted to know the exact information about the fire, or how many people
were dead, only after the police dealt with the scene and the news report could you know. When you
knew there was only one person's corpse, I had already gone far! "
Ben took a deep breath. He still had a lingering fear when he thought of that day. Fortunately, she was
fine, fortunately she was fine.
"Then you... How do you know what I was thinking at that time and think you were dead? "
"I didn't know. It was her who taught me to do so."
Ben looked at Wendy with complicated eyes. After a long time, she said frankly, "In fact, the moment I
saw the sea of fire, my mind went blank. I didn't think about it. There was only one thought in my mind:
the news report, and then I went to wait, and I..."
Ben smiled helplessly and said, "It was really messy at that time. She is more suitable to study
psychology. Tracy is right. People were in a mess at that time and didn't think too much. "
"So you didn't marry her. Look, how sad you are!"
Ben smiled. He touched her face with her big hand and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't love
her. I only love you!"
His words amused Wendy. If it was in the past, she would really be happy. She would be ecstatic and
couldn't fall asleep. It was just like the moment he said he would marry her. In fact, she was so happy
that she didn't fall asleep that night.
Ben's face turned serious again. He raised her chin with his fingers, looked at her and said seriously, "I
don't have any other thoughts, but... I don't want to hinder your career. You can continue to work, but I
will pick you up every day to ensure your safety! "
Wendy slapped his hand off and said, "Don't be so childish."
Hearing that, the black eyes of Ben darkened a little. "How dare you refuse?" Wendy raised her eyes
and seriously stared at his face, "I won't take your warmth anymore. You are so hypocritical!"
After saying that, Wendy turned around and went to open the door. With a cold face, Ben stared at her
back and said calmly, "Try it. Step out of the door!"
His threatening words made Wendy stop, but she didn't understand. Instead of turning around, she just
stood with her back to him, waiting for him to speak. Ben said, "You're right, Wendy. For you, I always
have a choice!"
Wendy felt a basin of cold water pouring down her head. At this time, she was extraordinarily sober, but
this kind of soberness made her whole body involuntarily tremble. Standing still, Ben stared coldly at
her back. He said decisively, "Either stay with me, or your future will be ruined!"
Ben's cold words made Wendy's face turn pale. Enduring the pain in the bottom of his heart, he
continued to say cruelly, "Wendy, you've thought it over. Now you can take a step back and get the
happiness you've always dreamed of, but... If you take a step forward and step out of this threshold,
your bright future will become a dream. "
Wendy's body trembled and her blood was cold, but Ben continued to add insult to injury. "Don't expect
your brother to help you. He is still hiding in his own gentle countryside."
Wendy's face was deathly pale. She stood there for a long time without any response. Her lips
trembled, helplessness and desperate tears kept rolling down. Seeing that she had no reaction, His
face softened, but he still insisted on saying coldly, "Tell me the answer!"
With her lips trembling, Wendy suppressed her crying and sneered, "My future is in my hands!"
Ben sneered, but there was still undisguised panic in his eyes. He stared at the ground where her feet
stood, as if he was afraid that she would really step out. If she did not care about anything and insisted
on leaving him, then the price would be mutual destruction.
Ben said, "Wendy, I don't need to remind you that you are engaged in jewelry, and the biggest taboo in
the jewelry industry is whether it's true or not. You know all these!"
Hearing this, Wendy turned around in despair and shouted, "What do you want?"
The black eyes of Ben flickered. Looking at her desperate face, his heart was torn apart, as if it was
painful, but... He knew that he couldn't let her go this time in any way.
With a cold smile, Ben stretched out his long arm and said in a very gentle tone, "Wendy, I won't
explain too much to you. You grew up in such an environment of deception. If you take a step back,
your future will be ruined, and there is no way back. Take a step forward..."
