Back when Andrew had doted on Tracy, they had never seen him act like this.

The executives exchanged glances. They all thought the same thing, yet no one dared to voice it aloud.

On the other side of the video call, Erin’s tears immediately welled up as she cried pitifully, “Andrew, waaaah …

“It’s all my fault. I’m to blame for thinking Grandpa was healthy enough and could handle it. So I made the waiter tell the truth.

“But I never expected Tracy to get angry over this and come back with a fake video, saying I had bribed the waiter.”

Erin sobbed and wailed. Yet she managed to explain the whole “story” crystal clear.

Andrew’s expression definitely turned very dark.

It was Tracy again!

He had been carrying guilt in his heart for hurting her due to a misunderstanding. He had been avoiding her during this time. He never expected that she wouldn’t show any gratitude and would even hit Erin so harshly.

This time, he absolutely wouldn’t let her off easy.

“Don’t worry, Erin. I’ll definitely seek justice for you.”

Erin’s tears finally subsided a bit. Still, she gazed at the person in the video with a pitiful expression. “Really? Andrew, you’re so good to me. You’re my favorite person in the whole world!”

Andrew’s furrowed brow relaxed, his eyes now full of tenderness.

After exchanging a few more words, they hung up the call. Erin’s expression instantly shifted from pitiful to smug.

Andrew was much smarter than that brainless Liam. In the past, to win over Andrew, who had always been serious and calm, she had put in tremendous effort.

He definitely wouldn’t be like Liam. His attention wouldn’t be stolen by Tracy with just a few words.

Only then did Erin return to her room–satisfied–and go to clean herself up. As for Liam’s promise to find her a doctor, she didn’t take it to heart at all.

Even though she didn’t care, this matter could still be used to make a fuss.

Erin immediately wanted to call Liam to demand why the “doctor” he mentioned hadn’t arrived yet. She aimed to stir up his guilt and perhaps win back his attention.

But before she could call Liam, he called her first.

Erin immediately adjusted her emotions. She prepared to cry about her grievances, but Liam spoke first. “Erin, good news! Grandpa’s awake!

“You’ve been crying yourself to sleep every night worrying about Grandpa. Now that you know he’s awake, you must be so happy. So I called you right away.”

Liam’s excitement and joy could be felt even through the phone.

Originally, he had chased after Tracy, but she ran too fast, and he couldn’t catch up. So he decided to try his luck at the hospital.

He didn’t see Tracy. Instead, he happened to arrive just as Franklin woke up. So he quickly called Erin.

Little did he know, Erin’s pitiful act froze mid–performance–her gloom twisted her features into a mask of pure menace.

That old geezer should have died two years ago. How could he be so tough? He still wouldn’t die!

Erin was so angry she almost crushed her phone. Still, she had to control her voice and fake surprise. “Really? That’s wonderful! I’ll come to the hospital right away!”

She quickly hung up the phone and threw her cosmetics to the ground in anger.

The crashing sound was harsh and jarring.

Looking at her disheveled appearance in the mirror, Erin had an idea. She quickly tidied up her appearance. Then she used a blush to make the swelling on her face look even more dramatic. Feeling satisfied, she headed to the hospital.

When Erin arrived at the hospital, only Liam was sitting by the bedside.

She looked around and didn’t see the person she wanted to see. She frowned before turning her attention to Franklin.

Franklin, who had seemed to recover much of his vitality before, now looked pale and lifeless. It was as if he had aged even more.

Erin rushed over, brimming with excitement. “Grandpa, you’re finally awake! I thought I’d lost you forever–I’ve been so upset!”

Liam, who had been standing awkwardly to the side while Franklin ignored him, quickly chimed in. “Grandpa, you don’t know how much Erin couldn’t sleep all night worrying about you—unlike Tracy.”

He instinctively wanted to compare Tracy and Erin, as he had been doing for the past few years. Somehow, he stopped mid–sentence.

This made Erin, who was waiting for him to continue, almost lose control of her expression.

She quickly jumped in, “Liam, don’t blame Tracy. Although she deliberately slandered me and even hit me, I believe she also lost her mind from worrying about Grandpa. I don’t blame her.

“Tracy is already very heartbroken. She’s been coming to visit Grandpa every night during this time, which is good to hear.”

Anyone with ears could hear the backhanded compliment. Liam’s trust in Erin had

He frowned and said, “Erin, she beat you up like this–how can you still defend her?”

Erin pouted pitifully. She deliberately angled the swelling on her face toward Franklin on the bed. “Tracy never liked me anyway. Whatever she does to me is understandable.”
