Erin and Liam didn’t answer, so Tracy just turned and walked off–this time, no one tried to stop her.
Liam hadn’t expected her to be so quick and sure. A flicker of doubt crept into his mind, wondering if maybe he’d misjudged her.
Erin, meanwhile, felt panic rising inside.
Chris <i>isn’t </i>known <i>for </i><i>handling </i><i>things </i><i>carefully</i>. <i>If </i><i>the </i><i>police </i>find <i>out </i><i>… </i>
She nced at the stunned person next to her, then hurriedly said, “Liam, what do we do? If the cops figure out Tracy staged the kidnapping just to waste their time, she’s not going to get off easy.
“If it’s just a fine, that’s one thing, but what if she gets detained? That would leave a record, and that could ruin her whole life.”
Erin looked lost, almost on the verge of tears. “Tracy was way too reckless. What are we supposed to do now?”
Liam snapped out of it and tried to calm her. “It’s her own fault, Erin. Don’t waste your energy worrying about someone like her.”
Erin shook her head, not convinced. “Even though Tracy never wanted to ept me, how can I just watch her go through this alone?
“And if she gets detained, it’ll hurt thepany, hurt Mom and Dad, Andrew, and even you. I don’t want to see that happen.”
She gripped Liam’s hand tightly, panic in her eyes. “Should we call Andrew and figure something out?”
Liam swallowed his anger and nodded. “I’ll call Andrew right now.”
When the call connected, he exaggerated the situation, making it sound like a major disaster for Jackman Enterprise.

So when the police showed up at the Jackman Vi, they ran into Benjamin and Andrewing back.
Andrew pushed up his sses and stepped forward first, handing over his business card. “I’m Andrew, CEO of Jackman Enterprise. Sorry to trouble you. Today’s events are just a misunderstanding.
“The person who reported this is my sister. She had a fight with the family and staged everything to get attention. No real kidnapping happened.”
Benjamin kept a serious face and backed him up, “Exactly. This is a family matter. The police chief even had dinner with me recently and wants to meet my family sometime.”
With the Jackmans‘ status in Cloudville, two family heads calling it a misunderstanding made it impossible for the police to push further.
So when Tracy finally stepped outside, she caught thest glimpse of police cars driving away.
She knew the Jackmans too well. Hearing the sirens, she quickly changed clothes and came out, but she was still toote.
After the police left, Andrew saw Tracy standing there and frowned.
“Tracy, you really went too far this time.”
Tracy looked up at him but didn’t say a word—just turned and walked off.
In Andrew’s eyes, his <i>judgment </i><i>is </i><i>always </i><i>right</i><i>, </i><i>so </i><i>I’d </i>better <i>not </i>waste <i>my </i>breath.
Seeing her reaction, Andrew’s face grew even colder. “Stop right there!”
Tracy didn’t slow down at all.
Andrew’s anger red hotter. “If you walk away again, I’ll disown you as my sister!”
Finally, Tracy stopped.
That made Andrew’s temper cool a little. The thin line of his lips under his sses twitched into a small smile.

Before Andrew’s smile faded, Tracy said, “Mr. Andrew, you said a long time ago that you only had one sister in this life, Erin.”
He had said those words on their shared birthday.
They were born the same day, but the Jackmans only remembered to get a gift for Erin, forgetting about herpletely.
Back then, she was hurt but told herself they just wanted to make up for Erin and identally forgot her birthday.
She told herself that even if she just ate a piece of cake with them, that would be enough for her birthday.
But just as she reached out, the carefully made fiveyer cake Liam had prepared toppled onto Erin, ruining her beautiful dress.
Erin cried.
Tracy, once the cherished one, was med and called cruel by everyone. Andrew even told all the guests he only recognized Erin as his sister for life.
From that day on, Tracy knew she no longer had an elder brother.
Her bringing this up now made Andrew’s anger choke in his throat.
He’d regretted saying those words in the heat of the moment at such an event. He had wanted to apologize properly someday.
But Tracy kept opposing Erin and making so many frustrating mistakes that Andrew never got the chance. Gradually, he forgot about it.
In the end, it’s all Tracy’s fault.
Andrew’s face turned cold again upon that thought.
