The person who stepped out of the lift made Tracy freeze in place. The folder slipped from her hands and scattered across the floor.

Tracy didn’t snap out of it until that familiar figure was nearly at the door. She scrambled to pick up the papers and rushed after her. “M… Miranda!”

Her clear foreign language carried through the hall, drawing every pair of eyes–including those on the poised woman in a fitted suit, surrounded by people treating her with respect.

The woman stopped in shock upon seeing her. “Tracy? What are you doing here?”

Then, her eyes widened after realizing something. “Wait! You’re the representative of Jackman Enterprise who came to negotiate with us?”

Tracy nodded, her expression conflicted.

She didn’t expected that the person she had been searching for all this time would turn out to be her former sister–in–law–the woman everyone believed was long dead.

“Miranda, you

Tracy didn’t even know how to begin.

Miranda understood. With a sigh, she ushered Tracy into her office before speaking.

Back in Cloudville, Miranda’s family might not have rivaled the Jackmans in size, but they were still among the wealthiest in the city. Their villas were next door, and she and Andrew had grown up

side by side.

Both were bright, and both were raised as heirs. They were the golden couple–perfect on paper and adored by everyone. Naturally, the two ended up as a pair.

In Cloudville, their names meant the model husband and wife.

But all of that started to unravel the year Erin returned to the Jackmans.

With the real and the fake daughter living under the same roof, conflicts were inevitable.

Every time there was friction, Andrew sided with his sister Erin. Miranda, however, always supported Tracy.

Over time, that division grew into real cracks between husband and wife.

The breaking point came on Andrew’s birthday. Miranda was on her way home to surprise him when she was kidnapped.

She never made it. It was raining hard, the road was slick, and the car veered off course, plunging into the sea.

At the time, she was three months pregnant. She and the baby were presumed lost forever.

When the investigation wrapped up, all the evidence pointed to Miranda and Tracy staging the kidnapping–an elaborate hoax meant to turn Andrew against Erin.

Andrew’s love curdled into hatred.

No matter how Tracy begged or tried to explain, he nearly killed her more than once.

The event left a scar on Tracy’s heart that never healed.

Tracy had asked herself a thousand times: if she had chosen to walk away the moment Erin came home, if she had refused to fight or compete at all, would Miranda have avoided those arguments with Andrew? Would she still be alive?

But now Miranda told her the truth.

“Tracy, none of it was your fault. It was Erin’s. She hired the men who kidnapped me. The car didn’t slide off the road because of the rain–Erin meant to drown me. I only drove us into the sea because I was fighting back.”

Miranda had been lucky. The rescue team sent by her family pulled her from the water just in time.

She survived, but the baby in her womb didn’t. The violent impact had taken that life away.

Miranda, filled with anger and grief, dragged her weak and battered body to Andrew–only to find him with his hands locked around Tracy’s throat, his face twisted in rage as if he meant to kill her.

“Erin heard you on the phone with Miranda,” he snarled. “You staged a kidnapping to trick me. What excuse do you have now? If anything happens to Miranda, you’ll pay with your life!”

In that moment, Miranda felt her heart tear apart as though crushed in a giant’s grip.

She and Tracy had grown up by Andrew’s side. No one should have known them better than

he did.

Yet one claim from Erin–that she had heard it with her ears–was enough for him to

condemn them.

Looking back, Miranda realized their arguments had grown more frequent over the years, and not just because she defended Tracy while Andrew defended Erin.

Many times, it was simply because of Erin herself.

The birthday gift Andrew gave Miranda? Erin sighed, “I love it; I wish I had one, and the gift ended up in her hands.

In the evenings Miranda wanted to be with her husband? Erin cried, “I want Andrew to stay with me,” and Andrew left her side without hesitation.

Moments like these piled up–small stones pressing down on Miranda until she could hardly breathe.

The steady, fair, and principled man she had loved since childhood was gone. In her heart, that husband had died long before.

With her family’s help, Miranda hid the fact that she was still alive. She left for another country, leaving behind evidence that the true culprit was Erin, not Tracy.

But Erin was clever. Even when confronted with what looked like Miranda’s dying testimony, she slipped free of blame.

She twisted things so completely that Andrew kept believing Tracy was guilty–that she had only used tricks to clear her name.

Learning this, Miranda let go of her last shred of attachment. She stayed overseas, never returning, never checking on the Jackmans again. She had no idea what kind of pain Tracy had endured in all those years.

ell and explained the purpose of her visit.

She never mentioned her plan against the Jackmans. That was her business, and there was no need to drag Miranda into it, especially since Miranda had already cut ties with the Jackmans long ago.

When Miranda finally understood why Tracy had come, she hesitated for a long time before speaking. “I don’t want anything to do with the Jackmans. But if it’s for you, I’ll make an exception–just this once.”

The agreement came together more smoothly than Tracy had expected. In fact, she could have flown back the very same day.

But after all this time apart, she wasn’t going to rush off so quickly. She stayed overseas with Miranda for several days, enjoying their time together.

If her bodyguard hadn’t urgently reported that the woman Erin pushed to the ground outside the company had finally woken up, Tracy would have gladly stayed even longer.

Before she left, Miranda bought her a pile of gifts and promised that one day she would visit Tracy herself.

Only then did Tracy reluctantly return home.

The moment she landed, she didn’t even bother unpacking–she went straight to the hospital.

From her bodyguard’s report, Tracy knew the woman was mentally challenged. She came from a remote mountain town, unmarried by law, but locals said she had a husband who had been gone for years.

He called home only once or twice a year.

That husband was Tom.

No matter what the doctors or bodyguards asked, the woman just curled into the corner of her bed like a frightened child, refusing to say a word.

Tracy immediately decided to take her to see Tom.

Tom had been locked up this whole time. He wasn’t mistreated, just kept under watch. With regular meals and rest, he actually looked healthier than before.

But the moment he saw the woman, his face changed, “Why are you here?” he stammered.

Panic flashed across his face, though he quickly forced himself to calm down when Tracy walked in after her. “I already told you everything I know. I even agreed to testify against Erin if you need me to. Why bring her here?

“She’s just a fool,” he added coldly. “She doesn’t know anything.”

Tracy sat across from him, unbothered. “Not true. She may not be smart, but she knew enough to hand over what Erin wanted–because that was the only way to get you back.”

Tom’s face drained of color. He lunged forward, gripping the woman’s wrist. “You gave it to Erin?!”

The woman trembled, her voice shaking. “N–no… I didn’t…”

Relief washed over Tom, but it lasted only a second. He froze, realizing what he had just revealed.

Slowly, he turned his head, meeting Tracy’s half–smiling gaze. “Looks like you haven’t told me everything after all,” she said.

A shudder ran through him.

Even though life had been fairly easy for him lately, the psychological scars from Tracy’s earlier interrogation still hadn’t faded.

The memories of Tracy’s earlier interrogation still haunted him, and that look on her face brought it all rushing back.
