He had worked for the Jackmans most of his life, and no matter how much the family valued him, he never overstepped his ce.
But this time, he was determined to stand up for the girl he’d watched grow up.
Tracy understood exactly what Walter meant. All her bottled–up grievances surged to the surface, making her eyes sting.
She had so much she wanted to say, but in the end, she held back.
Pulling a bag from behind her back, she said, “I’m just going out to take out the trash.”
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk, Walter sighed softly.
He knew Tracy stayed quiet because she didn’t want to trouble him or make Franklin worry.
Such <i>a </i><i>considerate </i><i>girl</i><i>–</i><i>how </i><i>blind </i><i>the </i><i>Jackmans </i><i>are</i><i>! </i>
Walter’s gaze darkened as it swept over the Jackmans. He’d already made up his mind.
Ever since Franklin saw them teaming up against Tracy, he’d been uneasy and asked Walter <i>to </ie by every so often.
Walter never expected that on his first visit back, they’d be trying to kick her out!
He decided on the spot to move back from the hospital to the Jackman Vi.
On his first night back, Walter learned that ever since Tracy returned, she’d been living in the housekeeper’s room.
Even his patience had limits; he snapped,
Though Walter was only the Jackmans‘ retired butler, even Benjamin treated him with respect. Daphne, the one he confronted, was upset but didn’t daresh out.
Still, she couldn’t help defending herself. “It wasn’t on purpose. Tracy just

happened toe back during Erin’s graduation, and I was so busy I forgot.
She gave Tracy a reproachful look. “Why didn’t you remind me? It’s just a room change. You could have told the housekeepers to do it. Did I have to do it myself?”
Tracy stayed quiet, her loweredshes hiding the sarcasm in her eyes.
In the past, Daphne loved to personally handle anything rted to her. When she came back from trips, she’d even make Tracy’s bed herself, smoothing out every wrinkle.
But now she seemed to have forgotten, or rather, her attention and care had shifted to Erin.
Tracy didn’t argue, but Walter snapped. “So, are you saying this is Ms. Tracy’s fault?”
His voice was low butced with anger. “No matter how busy you were with the graduation, you could’ve told a housekeeper. Do you think they’d dare refuse?
“Even if you forgot, did the rest of the family forget too? If anyone had cared even a little, the housekeepers would’ve prepared a room or at least brought it up.”
It was such a simple logic, and Walter understood it instantly. Yet since Tracy’s return, not one of the Jackmans had thought of it.
The stream of questions left the Jackman family speechless
For the first time since Tracy’s return, they felt a sense of guilt and concern for her.
Unfortunately, Tracy didn’t care.
Walter was angry, but as an outsider, he knew he’d already said more than he should have.
Feeling sorry for her, he personally arranged a room for her and even bought her a lot of new clothes with his own money.
In the past, Tracy would immediately buy any new item from her favorite brands.
But over thest two months, he had seen with his own eyes that she only had a few cheap outfits to wear.

If not for realizing she didn’t want to talk about it, he and Franklin would’ve asked long ago.
If the Jackmans wouldn’t spend a dime on her, he would.
Tracy didn’t turn down Walter’s kindness. She may not have needed the clothes, but she knew that refusing would only make him worried and sad.
Because of Walter, she ended up staying at Jackman Vi. As for the kidnapping, she and the Jackmans silently agreed never to bring it up again.
Walter moved her into a bigger and better furnished room, but it only made Tracy feel less safe. Still, she epted his good intentions.
The next morning, though, she was almostte for work from a poor night’s sleep.
When the workday ended, she didn’t head straight back to the Jackman Vi. She went to the supermarket and went to the ce she had just rented.
She picked up only basic household items.
She might not have managed to move out this time, but she would eventually, and this ce would be her real home.
On her way back, Tracy pictured the room waiting for her–dark, filthy, and run- down.
When she had rescued Ronald, his suit had been stained with blood and ripped, yet she could tell at a nce the fabric was far from ordinary.
Even Andrew’s wardrobe didn’t have many suits that could match that quality,
A man like that would never live in a rental house that was even more shabby and dpidated than a basement,
They were just strangers who met because of a crisis. After the crisis was over, they should have parted ways.
Yet when Tracy opened the door to the apartment, what she saw was nothing like she’d expected.
The dim, yellow light was reced with a bright bulb. The dirty room was clean.

All the broken furniture was gone, and the entire ce, though not fancy, was clean and tidy.
