“I just saw two police officers talking to this waiter with my own eyes, and then he rushed in to pass on the message. Tracy, if you don’t believe me, you can go out and see for yourself. Those two police officers should still be outside.”
Since the Jackmans were hosting a grand party today, they had booked out the entire hotel. If the police wanted to talk to someone, they would have to notify the hosts first.
Tracy’s face changed slightly, but before she could say anything, Franklin, whom she was supporting, somehow found the strength to shake off her hand and head for the entrance.
At the hotel entrance, two police officers were indeed standing there.
Franklin swayed a little but forced himself to walk over. “Are you … Are you here because of Walter…”
Franklin had been a man who had braved storms for decades, yet he could not even manage to finish a sentence at this moment.
The police had clearly done their homework beforehand and knew who the elderly man in front of them was.
They took out a document and said in an official tone, “Two days ago, there was a car ident on the highway leading into the city. This is the file of the deceased, Walter Dawson. We … ”
Franklin no longer heard anything after that. His hands trembled as he opened the file, and when he saw that the photo inside was indeed of Walter, the tension he had been holding on to finally snapped.
His vision went ck. Still clutching the file tightly, he copsed straight to the ground.
“Grandpa!”
Tracy caught him in a panic. The heavy force drove her knees hard into the floor,

but she did not care. “Get a doctor, hurry!”

Luckily, the Jackmans had medical staff traveling with Franklin. The doctor arrived swiftly, and after a brief treatment, Franklin was sent to the hospital.
Tracy scrambled into the car, ready to go with him.
Just as the car door was closing, her eyes caught sight of Erin curled up in Norris’s
arms<b>. </b>
She was smiling.
A shiver ran through Tracy as a cold gust mixed with fury crept up her back.
<i>Erin </i><i>Jackman</i><i>! </i>
<i>What </i><i>on </i><i>earth </i><i>have </i><i>you </i><i>done</i>?
Tracy had no time to dwell on the questions swirling in her mind. Right now, the only thing she cared about was Franklin’s safety.
With such a sudden turn of events, the grand party naturally came to an end.
Given the Jackmans‘ standing in Cloudville, the guests would never voice any criticism. But everyone was watching for news from the hospital.
Franklin held a considerable number of shares in Jackman Enterprise. If anything happened to him, thepany would inevitably face major turmoil, and the entire Cloudville would be affected.
The Jackmans were aware that everyone was watching, so they quickly released the news that Franklin was out of danger and made a public show of retrieving Walter’s body.
Walter had never married or had children. Whether to the public or in private, he was long considered part of the Jackman family.
Benjamin personally took charge of arranging his funeral, and the news media covered the matter extensively, praising the Jackmans‘ generosity and

benevolence.
With public attention drawn away, no one knew that Franklin had actually remained in aa in the ICU.

During this time, Benjamin and Daphne were busy handling Walter’s funeral, and Andrew was busy stabilizing thepany. Erin stayed home, crying every day out of “worry,” and Liam was busyforting her.
Tracy, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen–except that she showed up at the hospital each night to keep Franklinpany.
Erin feigned concern over this matter. “Liam, Tracy onlyes at night. Do you know where she goes during the day?
“She hasn’t been back to Jackman Vi, and she hasn’t been working outside. A young woman like her … who knows where she could be going.”
Her words instantly made Liam think of that old rental apartment and of Ronald.
Liam’s expression darkened. “Aside from going to that man, where else could she go?”
His face twisted with disgust. “Grandpa treated her so well, and Walter loved her like a granddaughter. With something so serious happening, she still has the mindset to go on a date? She’s truly heartless!”
Erin spoke softly and gently. “How could Tracy do that… The next time I see her, I must talk to her about <i>it</i>.”
“What do you want to talk to me about?” Tracy’s cold voice suddenly cut in.
Her expression was grim as she walked toward Erin, holding a document folder in her hand.
She moved fast, her presence sharp and intimidating, and Erin instinctively ducked behind Liam in fright.
Liam frowned, his face full of wariness. “What are you trying to do now?”

“What am I trying to do? That’s a question you should be asking the woman behind you!” Tracy angrily flung the document folder at his face.
“Ask her why she transferred money to that waiter who ran up to Grandpa spouting nonsense! Or is it because she’s so full ofpassion that she just loves giving money toplete strangers?”
Erin’s face went pale as she quickly shook her head and waved her hands. “I … I didn’t… ”
She couldn’t understand how Tracy had found out about this when she had been so careful.
“You think that just because you chose a ce without cameras and gave him cash, everything would be fine?”
