Benjamin’s face tightened with pain as he admitted, “This is my failure as a father. I raised a scheming, ungrateful child, and now I’m the one beingughed at.”
Even if some secretly agreed, no one dared say it out loud. Instead, they rushed tofort him.
“Mr. Jackman, it’s not your fault. I’d say it’s in her blood. Some people are just rotten no matter how you
raise them.”
“Exactly. Look at Andrew and Liam–they turned out great. And even Erin, though she wasn’t raised by you, still grew up so kindhearted.”
Ronald stood silently, watching the scene unfold. His usually bright, youthful face had turned to ice.
He realized he was mistaken.
Setting up a trap for Andrew was too kind.
No, he should drag the entire Jackmans down into hell, where they’d never climb out again.
Ronald was just about to speak when Tracy, who had been standing quietly behind him, suddenly tugged him.
She looked calmly at the officers in front of her. “I’ll go with you.”
Her steady tone made it seem as if she weren’t the one being arrested.
Ronald quickly grabbed her hand, worry written all over his face. “CeeCee, I won’t let them frame you.”
The determination in his eyes was burning brightly, searing something deep inside her.
When the Jackmans scolded her, when the whole crowd pointed fingers at her, she hadn’t felt anything.
But Ronald’s raw concern and unshakable belief in her suddenly made her realize she felt wrong.
Tracy pressed her lips together, forcing down the wave of emotion.
“Do nothing, Ronald.”
She didn’t know what tricks he might have hidden up his sleeve, but she had her n for today.
Tracy hadn’t nned to exin herself. Yet when she met Ronald’s honest gaze, she finally said, “If you really want to help me, keep this from my grandpa. Just for three or four days.”
Ronald understood she had her own arrangements. Though worry gnawed at him, he trusted her decisions<b>. </b>
After a long pause, he let go of her hand and watched helplessly as the police led her away.
From beginning to end, Liam stood frozen, pale, and speechless.

He still hadn’t recovered from the shock of Tracy being used of kidnapping. Liam struggled to process everything.
After all, he had been the one digging into the case, and it was his lead that brought the police here. He knew Tracy had nothing to do with this.
So why had the investigation been directed at her?
When Ronald turned around, he caught sight of Liam staring nkly at the doorway, lost in thought.
He remembered–when everyone else was condemning Tracy, Liam alone had stayed silent.
Could it be that Liam hadn’t suspected Tracy at all?
A spark lit in Ronald’s eyes; he had an idea.
Liam was the simplest of the Jackmans–reckless, hotheaded, and easy to sway. That also made him the easiest to break.
Ronald strode toward him and said coldly, “You strutted in here earlier, showing off to CeeCee. Is this the result you wanted?”
Liam’s face went even paler. “N–no, I didn’t… I was worried about her. I wanted to help CeeCee.”
“Help her? Haha!” Ronald sneered contemptously. “If you really cared, you’d ask yourself how long it’s been since CeeCee spent a single cent of your family’s money after Erin returned.
“Even an outsider like me can find that out. If you had any brains at all, you’d uncover much more.”
To the jackmans, whatever Tracy did, they always assumed she was after their money. If they really wanted the truth, then they should investigate how much she had actually used.
Crack open that door, and they’d find more than they ever expected.
And with fools like the Jackmans, it was better to let them uncover the truth themselves than to hand them proof directly.
Once Ronald saw that Liam had taken his words to heart, he held his tongue. He turned sharply and walked out of that stifling, toxic ce.
He didn’t know what Tracy had nned, but he could wait–four days, no longer,
Four days from now<i>, </i>regardless of what n Tracy had, he’ll get her out.
Waiting was torture,
Though he worried about Tracy, Ronald didn’t forget what she had asked of him.
He knew how important Franklin was to her, so the very next day, he went to see Franklin at the hospital.
Franklin was unaware that Tracy had been living in a rental apartment–or that Ronald even existed.
When Ronald appeared out of nowhere, iming to be Tracy’s friend, Franklin was stunned. “You’re someone she met abroad?” he asked, bewildered.

When he mentioned abroad, Ronald’s brow lifted slightly.

Smart as he was, even without knowing exactly where Tracy had been thesest couple of years, he could guess where that story hade from.
He shook his head honestly. “No. I met CeeCee in Cloudville. I’d gotten into an ident, and she saved
me.”
