Chapter 316 Chasing Forgiveness
Tracy wasn’t surprised at all by the result.
So that was the Jackmans‘ love. Just shallow, fake affection:

She wasted no time spreading word of how cold and heartless the Jackmans had acted.
Erin’s death and Norris’s murder had already dragged both the Jackmans and the Gills through the mud. Even Matthew–who had poured money into propping up the Jackmans–took a hit.
Jackman Enterprise’s stock tanked. Small shareholders dumped their shares. Even long–time partners cut ties and ran.
Tracy used the chaos to her advantage. Quietly, openly, she started buying up shares, bit by bit, building her power.
Andrew, who’d run Jackman Enterprise for years, noticed right away. But he didn’t stop her. He even used his authority to open doors for her.
Some people couldn’t stand it. They pulled Andrew aside and told him to watch Tracy before she turned on them.
But Andrew only smiled, calm and confident.
“We were wrong before. I get why Tracy’s mad now. As her brother, I gotta make it up to her. She’s my real sister, our family’s blood runs through her. She just needs to vent. She’d never actually hurt the family.”
Funny thing–those exact words got to Tracy within the hour.
She just smirked, flipped another page of her file, and gave no reaction.
She wasn’t dumb. If Andrew’s words reached her so fast, it was deliberate. His way of showing goodwill.
But to her, their “goodwill” meant nothing. It was disgusting at best.
Still, their guilt wasn’t useless.
Now, even when Tracy made bold moves against the Jackmans, no one suspected her. They didn’t even worry. They went out of their way to help her.

Tracy knew exactly what they thought. She gave a cold laugh and pressed even harder.
In less than two weeks, she had everything in place.

Andrew might look like he’s still running Jackman Enterprise. But the truth? Tracy could take over the company overnight if she wanted.
The Jackmans had no clue. They were still busy chasing Tracy’s forgiveness.
Especially Daphne. Every time she saw Tracy from afar, she wore that pitiful look, like she was about to cry. To outsiders, she looked like a heartbroken mother ignored by her ungrateful daughter.
“Tracy, I know I was wrong. Please, just let me see you. Just let me look at you.”
One afternoon, Daphne even stood outside the company entrance. Her eyes were red from crying, her posture desperate. People passed by, staring, but she didn’t care. She just wanted her daughter’s forgiveness.
“Look at Mrs. Jackman … she must regret it.”
“She’s a mother. She got fooled, and her daughter suffered for it. She has to feel guilty.”
“Guilt? Please. When the Jackmans held that press conference years ago and stripped Tracy of their name, they didn’t care one bit about saving face for her.”
“Exactly. She raised Tracy, but just because they thought there was no blood tie, they cast her aside. Now they know she’s blood, suddenly they want forgiveness? What a joke.”
The whispers went on and on.
Still, Daphne was the chairman’s wife. No one dared say it to her face.
Without Erin stirring trouble with her strange tricks, the people of this world seemed normal again. Their morals were clearer.
But Daphne hadn’t noticed. She was the exception.
She had spent her life in privilege, always respected, always admired. She had no idea what people whispered behind her back.
Sometimes she caught strange looks in their eyes, but she assumed they pitied her.
