Chapter 129 I Have No Right

He smiled warmly and gave her nose a gentle pinch.

That simple, familiar gesture hit Tracy like a punch to the chest.

It had been ages since she’d leaned on his shoulder and acted all sweet like that. Back then, she never dared bring up company business in front of him.

Even the time she spoke up for Simon’s dad to become vice president, it was not just because she asked. The guy was talented, offered huge benefits, and the board had already agreed. Her words were just a little push at the end.

Even so, he had been furious with her.

Not like now.

She let out a small laugh.

So this was what real favoritism looked like–throwing away your own rules for someone.

No matter how many times she told herself not to expect anything from them, her chest still tightened painfully.

She pressed a hand to it, letting the ache remain.

The more it hurt, the more she would get used to it.

That was how she had survived two years at the Angelic Etiquette Academy.

Her quiet laugh drew the attention of the “perfect sibling” scene in front of her.

His smile vanished, and he frowned at her. “What’re you laughing at?”

She lowered her hand and spoke coldly. “Just didn’t think Mr. Andrew–so big on rules–would let someone else butt into company matters.”

She was ripping open her own old wounds on purpose, letting the pain sink in

until it dulled.

“Back then, I had just spoken kindly about Simon’s dad, not even asked for help, and you snapped at me. You called me naive, saying girls should stick to shopping and handbags, not business.

“But now …”

Her gaze slid toward Erin.

Andrew looked away, like he had something to hide.

He had been raised to put the company above everything, and even when he liked her back then, he would not let her interfere.

But for Erin, it seemed like nothing else mattered.

If she asked for the stars, he would probably try to bring them down for her.

Erin froze for a split second when she saw him staring at her.

Andrew was not like Liam. He was not clueless. If he started asking questions …

She jumped in quickly. “I know what you said, Tracy. After Andrew scolded you, you were upset for ages, and not even Mom could calm you down. Liam even argued with him over it.”

Her words pulled his mind away from whatever he had been thinking. “How do you know about that?” he asked, frowning.

He clearly remembered that Erin had not even been living with them at the time.

Erin smiled softly. “Miranda told me. She said she had to talk to you for a long time before you finally calmed down.”

At the mention of that name, Tracy’s hand curled into a fist.

She turned toward Andrew, and sure enough, his expression had gone cold.

Miranda Snowden was still a raw wound for him, the one thing between them that had never healed,

Even though Tracy had explained a hundred times, even though there was no proof she had done it, he still saw her as the one who had caused that tragedy.

His eyes were icy, with a trace of resentment. “The family spent all that money sending you to the Angelic Etiquette Academy, and you still haven’t learned anything. You are always trying to compete with Erin.

“She’s suggesting the Woodwards for the good of the company. You just live off us without any gratitude, so what gives you the right to stand here and act jealous?”

Tracy pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

Oh yes, the Academy.

How could she forget? What a gift.

She lowered her head slightly. “You’re right, I have no right. I won’t bother you anymore.”

Without another glance, she turned toward her room.

However, Erin was not done yet. “Andrew, don’t be so hard on her. I’m sure she didn’t mean it that way. She’s been busy taking care of Grandpa lately and hasn’t been home much. She’s probably just tired and upset seeing how nice you are to

me.”

That seemed to remind him. He turned back to frown at Tracy. “Where have you been these past few days?”

He knew full well she had not been visiting Franklin in the hospital.

Tracy did not want to share anything about her own life, but something made her look at Erin instead.

Erin’s chest tightened at the sight, an uneasy feeling creeping in.
