    Chapter 144 It Feels Off


    s


    Benjamin was furious, like Tracy had done something so terrible that even the gods wouldn’t forgive her.


    But Tracy knew he was just copying Andrew’s earlier move, trying to distract everyone.


    Maybe because she’d just received a surprise gift. She didn’t want to waste any more time with those irrelevant people and gently pulled Ronald’s hand. “Let’s go.”


    Every time she faced the Jackmans, she felt drained and powerless.


    She was exhausted and just wanted to avoid them altogether.


    But Ronald held her back. “We’ll leave, but not yet.”


    His eyesnded on her swollen cheek. Though he smiled, his gaze was cold.


    “I’ve already dealt with the person who stole my credit, but I haven’t even started to pay back those who wronged you andid a hand on you.”


    People who knew Ronald understood he never let any insult go unpunished, especially since Andrew had hit Tracy more than once.


    And this time, Ronald had seen it himself.


    Watching Ronald keep pushing, Andrew’s bottled-up anger suddenly red up once more.


    “Since when do you get to interfere with the Jackmans’ business?” he snapped at Tracy. “How long are you going to keep dragging this guy into it?!”


    At first, Tracy didn’t want to get too involved with the Jackmans.


    She knew no matter how much proof she had, once Erin was involved, the Jackmans wouldn’t listen.


    But seeing Ronald stand so firmly beside her, she suddenly changed her mind.


    It wasn’t her fault. Why should she take all the me? Why swallow the bitterness while the Jackmans livedfortably?


    Looking straight at Andrew, she finally stopped caring about upsetting him. “I just want to clear my name. How is that causing trouble?


    “You made us provide proof because you doubted the fireworks and drone show were ours. If you think I messed up those gifts, why don’t you show some proof?


    If you can use me without evidence, why can’t I do the same?”


    Her eyes shifted toward Winona, who stood nearby looking panicked.


    When their gazes met, Winona’s heart skipped a beat, and she tightened her grip on Erin’s hand.


    The n was supposed to be foolproof. How did it go so wrong?

    Erin felt Winona’s grip on her arm and inwardly cursed how useless she was.


    But on the surface, she appeared understanding. “Dad, Andrew, Tracy, let’s not get upset.


    “It’s my birthday today. With so many guests here, can’t we just let this go for my sake?”


    Benjamin snorted coldly but seemed a little less angry after hearing her.

    Andrew followed Erin’s lead and said, “We’re only letting this slide because of you. Otherwise, people might think we’re pushovers.”


    Erin smiled sweetly and gently swung his arm. “I knew you were the best.”


    Then, she turned to Tracy with a bright smile. “CeeCee…”


    Ronald cut in sharply, “CeeCee? Who said you could call her that? Let it go for your sake? Do you think you matter that much?”


    Even though Erin was trying to keep the peace, he wasn’t holding back. “Where do you get off saying we should just drop it? If I randomly used you and pped you in front of everyone, would you just let it go?”


    He rolled up his sleeves like he was ready to rush up and p her if Erin nodded.


    Erin’s expression darkened. She didn’t expect Ronald to show her zero respect.


    Did he even realize how serious it was to offend the Jackmans in Cloudville?


    Under the angry stares from the Jackmans, Ronald stayed calm and collected.


    He fixed Andrew with a fierce look. “You keep saying CeeCee ruined those gifts, but did you check the security cameras?


    “In a hotel like this, every room door is covered by cameras. Did you see who actually went into that room:


    “CeeCee said she’s been in the camera’s view since she came in. Did you verify that before you used her?


    “If you didn’t check yourself, couldn’t you just order someone to check the footage? Would that be so hard


    “You did nothing except me her without proof. Have you lost it?”


    Ronald’s logical words hit the Jackmans hard.


    Indeed, they had their doubts about Tracy, but they never bothered to confirm anything.


    They hadn’t even thought it through.


    The Jackmans were respected in Cloudville because they usually didn’t mess up like that. And yet, that was exactly what happened.


    It felt off


    Ronald’s words were also a wake-up call for Tracy.
