Liam hadn’t intended to hurt her. He simply wanted to calm her down to keep her from injuring Erin.

“Liam!” Erin’s cry suddenly snapped him back to reality.

Her hair was disheveled, yet she still managed to look pitiful and fragile. “Don’t be angry. It’s my fault for not being more careful with my words. I deserved Tracy’s slap.

“If this can help Tracy calm down and stop trying to pin a deadly accusation on me, I can endure it.”

Her words hinted that Tracy had tried to frame her. When that attempt fell through, she had lashed out in fury.

Liam’s face filled with agony as expected. “Don’t worry, Erin. As long as I’m here, I’ll never let her bully you!”

He drew Erin into a protective embrace. He then shot a vicious glare at the woman sprawled on the floor. “Tracy, give up those sneaky tricks. No matter how you try to defend your actions, the truth is I caught you bullying Erin with my own eyes. You … ”

“Facts? Ha!”

Tracy sneered. She lifted her bloodshot eyes to stare at Liam. “Everything I say is just an excuse to you. Even when the evidence is right in front of your face, you’ll always believe her!

“The Jackmans reserved the entire hotel for the party. Even if the police needed to get in, a waiter would have to notify the manager. The manager would then pass the message along to the Jackmans.

“If she hadn’t been bribed, why would that waiter have had the nerve to come charging out yelling like that, heading straight for Grandpa?

“Liam, do you even think before you act!”

Tracy’s words inexplicably reminded Liam that Ronald had said the exact same thing to him before.

His heart ached as if pierced by sharp needles.

It was like a position that had always belonged to him had suddenly been taken by someone else.

Liam felt a wave of panic and instinctively loosened his protective hold on Erin. He stepped toward Tracy to help her up.

But Tracy didn’t even give him a glance. She pulled herself up from the ground on her own.

Her dizziness made her sway twice before she steadied herself. Still, her eyes stayed ice–cold as she stared at Erin.

“You’d better pray Grandpa is fine. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it!”

Erin was so scared that she quickly shrank behind Liam. This time, Liam did not shield her as he had before.

Instead, he kept staring at Tracy. He could not shake the strange panic gnawing at his heart.

Seeing Tracy was about to leave, he instinctively wanted to follow her. Suddenly, someone grabbed his wrist.

“Liam, I’m in so much pain!” Erin whimpered, tears pooling in her eyes–waiting for comfort.

In the past, this was the expression Liam couldn’t stand to see from her.

But now, looking at it, besides his usual anguish, he kept remembering Ronald’s mocking words telling him to think before he acted.

Why did Ronald get to say the same thing as Tracy?

He was the one who had grown up with Tracy since childhood. What right did Ronald have

For the first time, Liam didn’t offer comfort when Erin showed this expression. Instead, he pulled his hand free from her grasp.

“I’ll go get a doctor for you. Stay here and don’t move.”

With that, he ran toward the main entrance. It was unclear whether he was going to find a doctor or chase after Tracy, who had just left.

“Liam … ”

Erin tried to call him back, but Liam dashed off without looking back, running at full speed.

Damn it!

Was Liam even using his head today? First, he came to question and suspect her. Now he was chasing after Tracy right before her eyes.

What had really gone wrong?

Erin’s face darkened. Between her messy appearance and the fury in her eyes, she looked like a vengeful ghost straight out of a horror movie.

No matter what had gone wrong, she absolutely couldn’t let Tracy steal everything she had.

Erin had a sudden idea and pulled out her phone to open the camera.

She put on a pitiful expression. She deliberately angled her swollen, slapped face toward the lens and snapped a photo.

From the photo, she looked like a poor victim who had suffered endless abuse. She looked as if she were just waiting for someone to come to her rescue and offer support.

She sent the photo to Andrew. Before she could even send a voice message, his messages came flooding in.

After several voice messages, before Erin could reply, his call came through.

As soon as the call connected, Erin’s pitiful, disheveled face appeared on the

screen.

Andrew was heartbroken and quickly asked, “Erin, who bullied you? Tell me, and I’ll take revenge for you!”

In the video, Andrew seemed very flustered. He hurriedly stood up and rushed outside.

From the background, he seemed to have just come out of a conference room. A group of company executives lingered there, all wearing confused expressions.

The executives murmured among themselves. “Based on what Mr. Andrew had said, it sounded like Ms. Jackman had been bullied by someone.

“In Cloudville, who on earth could bully Ms. Jackman?”

They were right in the middle of a key meeting. “Was Mr. Andrew going overboard by ditching them all of a sudden to back

up Ms. Jackman?”
