Matthew kept his thoughts in check, nodding with a gentle smile. “Yes, I don’t like her. In my eyes, she doesn’t even come close to you.”

Erin knew he was flattering her, but she still liked hearing it.

No matter what had happened between Matthew and Tracy, as long as he wasn’t obsessed with Tracy and stopped being her loyal simp, that was enough for Erin.

She intended to make sure Tracy lost everything.

Erin’s smile grew as she lifted the cup of tea Matthew had poured. Her intentions were clear.

Both of them kept smiling, each hiding their real thoughts. But neither noticed that someone outside the glass window had seen them clinking cups together.

Tracy hadn’t expected that just by stepping out casually, she would see those two together.

She was too far away to hear their conversation, but it made her think about the time she’d met Matthew at the hospital.

She’d assumed Erin had approached him to compete with her. But she hadn’t contacted Matthew for a long time. Why would Erin still be so close to him?

From what Tracy knew, Erin wouldn’t spend effort on Matthew unless there was something to gain.

Determined to confirm her suspicions, Tracy arranged to meet Matthew the next day.

Getting him to meet her wasn’t hard, especially since he had recently tried to take 3% of Jackman Enterprise shares from her.

She acted friendly, pretending she wanted a spot in Jackman Enterprise and was counting on his help.

Matthew kept his calm, gentle smile. “How could I be harsh to a beauty like you, Ms. Yarwood?

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone mess with you.”

He promised with conviction, but Tracy knew better than to trust him.

She didn’t expose him, though. Instead, she toasted him politely and acted grateful.

Later, she quietly made sure someone told Erin about her dinner with Matthew.

Things turned out just as Tracy expected. After probing a few times, she realized that Erin grew uneasy whenever she interacted with Matthew.

It looked like Erin was afraid Tracy might get too close to him.

That left Tracy even more confused.

Erin’s closeness to Matthew seemed aimed at competing with Tracy.

But the person Erin truly cared about was Ronald, not Matthew.

Even though Erin had once tried to hook up with Ronald, she had pulled back after being scolded a few times. It was obvious she had given up.

Tracy thought about it but couldn’t pinpoint the reason. But there was one thing she was sure of.

Erin’s strange behavior had to be connected to the unusual side of her.

Tracy wanted to investigate more, but she knew it wasn’t the right time. If she acted hastily, she might alert them, so she arranged for someone to keep an eye on them.

She had more important matters to do.

Even though she had entered Jackman Enterprise successfully, she could still be pushed out at any moment. Her only chance was to excel in her project.

But she couldn’t do it alone. Andrew deliberately made things difficult and claimed, “We have a lot of projects. Everyone is busy. No one has time to help you.”

He refused to send anyone to assist her.

Tracy had no choice but to hire people externally to keep the project moving, which took up most of her time.

Luckily, her recruits were loyal. Eventually, she could leave Jackman Enterprise to them, and Andrew wouldn’t be able to interfere.

Once her team was ready, Tracy led them into the company.

At the entrance, they ran into Simon, who was arrogantly strutting around.

Ever since Tracy “crazily” beat him at Jackman Residence, Simon had been resting at home for

Since the Dunns had gained some benefits from the Jackmans, Edmond worried Simon might try to get back at Tracy and stir up trouble. So, he had forced Simon into the company and assigned him work, which kept him out of sight until now.

Tracy hadn’t seen Simon in so long that she nearly forgot he existed. When she ran into him at the company entrance, she didn’t even recognize him and just walked past without glancing at him.

Simon, who had planned to wear a sneer and mock her, froze completely. He could feel all the scornful stares around him.

“Stop right there!” he yelled angrily.

Tracy acted as if she hadn’t heard a word, not even pausing as she walked.

Simon’s anger boiled over as he barked at his bodyguard, “Stop her!”

His bodyguard immediately stepped forward, blocking Tracy and her team’s path.

The bodyguard was a woman roughly Tracy’s height. Though her appearance was plain, the sharpness in her expression gave her a surprisingly commanding presence.
