The person on the other end was clearly taken aback by Ronald’s words. He didn’t say anything for a long while. When he finally did, he stammered, “Y-you’re crazy. You spent all this time planning. You even used yourself as bait and almost lost your life.

“Now that you’ve finally made it to the endgame, why bother going after Angelic Etiquette Academy? Do you have some kind of personal grudge against them?”

“I do,” Ronald answered without hesitation. “Angelic Etiquette Academy has to be wiped out. Completely.

The other person fell silent again.

After a while, he spoke, “Is this because of your CeeCee?”

Ronald said nothing, but his silence was as good as confirmation.

It was clear the other person understood Ronald’s temperament well, because he sighed quietly. “Ron, haven’t you already learned the consequences of trusting others too easily?”

Ronald’s hand tightened around his phone, his lips pressed together.

He had. He’d suffered for it before-more than once.

But people who’ve spent too long in the dark can’t help but reach for any sliver of light they find.

And he could tell that Tracy was different from the rest.

She was someone who always got left behind, but her heart still held a stubborn kind of sincerity.

She was just like him-so long as he didn’t let go, she’d never let go either.

So, he chose to trust Tracy.

‘Do as I say. I have everything planned out.”

With those words, Ronald hung up.

Tracy’s illness dragged on for almost half a month before she finally got better.

During that time, she spent her days at home, painting and resting, but she still kept a close eye on what was happening outside.

So, when Andrew contacted her, she already knew what he wanted.

Matthew had agreed to help the Jackmans through their troubles, but he wasn’t doing it out of charity.

Once things stabilized for the Jackmans, his first request was for a share of Jackman Enterprise stock from Tracy,

As the CEO of Jackman Enterprise, Andrew only held 20 percent of the shares himself. There was no way

an outsider like Matthew could take all of Tracy’s shares.

So, he tactfully asked for just three percent.

Three percent of the shares might not sound like much, but for a company as big as Jackman Enterprise, it was still a significant sum-far from something one would give away lightly.

But if those shares came from Tracy, and it could help Andrew build a connection with the Renaults, he thought it was worth it.

He didn’t even bother to consult Tracy. Before they met, he’d already printed out the contract.

In the past, Tracy had refused to give up any shares, and he figured it was probably because she was jealous of Erin. But now, if it was for the benefit of Jackman Enterprise-and besides, the requested amount was two percent less than before-she shouldn’t object if she was sensible.

Andrew was convinced of this and was ready to lecture Tracy about not being so selfish.

But as it turned out, he never even got the chance to see her.

In fact, before he went to see Tracy, he’d already heard from the company that she was calling an emergency shareholders’ meeting.

By the company’s policy, any shareholder with over ten percent could call a meeting, but Tracy had never involved herself in the company, nor did she have anyone on her side there.

Her sudden move to call a meeting seemed reckless and out of line.

It was Ronald’s idea to call the meeting.

Tracy never cared for her shares in Jackman Enterprise. The only reason she accepted what Franklin left was to have something as backup in case Erin ever tried anything.

So after all that time, she did nothing with her shares, until Andrew tried to get them from her, again and again.

Finally, in a fit of frustration, Tracy decided she might as well step into Jackman Enterprise herself.

Erin’s only advantage was being the Jackman daughter, and her backing was Jackman Enterprise.

If Erin lost that backing, maybe her secrets would finally come to light.

Thinking about it, Tracy decided joining Jackman Enterprise might not be such a bad idea.

But she’d never cared about business, and the only thing she was good at was art. Even if she forced her way in, Andrew would probably kick her out within a week.

After some thought, Tracy decided to ask Ronald for help.

Dealing with company affairs was as easy as breathing for Ronald, but he didn’t say yes right away.

He was silent for a while, then asked, “CeeCee, if Jackman Enterprise went under one day, would you be

sad?”

The question caught Tracy completely off guard.

She didn’t know why Ronald asked, but she was sure he had plans for Jackman Enterprise-maybe he’d already started.

Tracy asked him outright.

Ronald answered her just as directly. “That project between the Jackmans and the Woodwards-it was a trap I set for them. But that’s not the only trap I have for them.”

The specifics were complicated, and Ronald didn’t go into detail, but Tracy already understood.
