Suddenly, she stepped forward and shook Simon’s hand. “Simon, since Tracy already apologized, let’s just forgive her. She apologized so fast, as if she’s scared we’ll change our minds. She must really mean it.”

Simon snapped out of it and quickly patted her hand. “Erin, you’re too naive. She apologized that quickly not because she’s sincere, but because she’s scared.”

Liam caught on too and nodded. “Exactly. She’s just scared I’ll pull the hotel footage and embarrass her all over Cloudville. So when you guys said an apology would stop it, she rushed to say sorry.

“I’m not buying it! I’m definitely pulling the footage today and sending it to the media. Everyone needs to see what she’s really like!”

Simon’s expression froze.

Why is the footage thing coming up again? And sending it to the media, too…

Simon was thinking hard about how to stop it when Erin quickly pressed down on Liam’s hand before he could reach for his phone. “Liam, don’t be reckless. Simon and I can take some heat, but if the footage gets out, it’ll hurt the company badly.”

Then she lowered her voice. “Dad might not run the company much now, but Jackman Enterprise is his life’s work. If anything happens to the company, he’ll be really upset and that’s bad for his health.”

She seemed to be expressing her care for Benjamin’s health, when in fact, she was reminding Liam that Benjamin would be upset if this matter impacted the

company.

Though she spoke softly, everyone could hear her clearly,

Edmond sighed. “Erin’s such a devoted daughter–she’s willing to suffer just thinking about her father’s health. Mr. Benjamin, you’ve got a great daughter.”

Ursula nodded. “I wish I had a daughter like that. But I’m not so lucky—I got a little

troublemaker instead.”

As Tracy listened to their warm, peaceful talk, her lips twitched into a bitter smile.

But since she was still bowed, no one noticed.

It was clear they weren’t planning to let her off easy.

Simon turned his anger back on her. “Tracy, don’t think you can just get away with what happened today.

“Erin’s kind and won’t hold it against you. But I’m not letting this go!” He sounded fake and righteous. “Today, you need to kneel and apologize to me and Erin. If you don’t, I won’t mind helping you.”

Tracy straightened, her eyes sharp and cautious. “What do you

Her face went a little pale, and she took a step back instinctively.

“I’ve heard ‘I won’t mind helping you‘ too many times.”

mean?”

Every time, it meant some kind of torture disguised as help, all from those so- called “classmates.”

Simon looked at her with the same creepy eyes the bullies from her past had.

“I don’t mean anything else, just want you to kneel and apologize to me and Erin,” Simon said with a nasty grin.

He didn’t move but turned to Benjamin. “Mr. Benjamin, pulling the footage will hurt Jackman Enterprise for sure. I don’t want that either. But Tracy needs to learn a lesson.

“People like her, who don’t learn from their mistakes, might do something even dumber next time. And next time, we might not be lucky enough to deal with loyal people like the Dunns.

“I know you care for her affer raising her for 18 years and don’t want to be too harsh. I can help since I’m the biggest victim today, and I’ll speak up for Erin too.”

Benjamin, already furious at Tracy’s attitude, didn’t hesitate and nodded. “Fine. Consider this your chance to vent. She needs a serious lesson.”

Simon is right. We got lucky this time facing the Dunns. Next time, if Jackman Enterprise

meets a real enemy, who knows what could happen?

Tracy’s face drained of color as she looked around.

Edmond and Ursula looked cold. Benjamin and Daphne showed nothing but disappointment. Simon’s eyes were filled with cruelty.

Andrew stood silently to the side. Liam’s eyes glinted with pleasure at her trouble. Erin looked sympathetic but didn’t step in.

So many people, yet no one stood by Tracy.

In this family, she was always alone, completely isolated.

Sooǹ, the Dunns arrived, with bodyguards waiting just outside.

With Benjamin’s permission, Simon called them in. “Hold her down. Make sure she kneels and apologizes.

“If she resists, hit her hard!”

His fierce look made it clear he wanted to make her suffer for everything she’d done–twice over.

No one thought Simon’s orders were wrong. Even after seeing his cold, ruthless face, no one felt he was going too far.
