He said Erin had a special charm on her.
For a moment. Tracy felt an odd, almost ridiculous sense of unease swirling inside her.
It came out of nowhere and vanished just as quickly, like a passing illusion.
By the time she snapped back, Jasmin had already called her name several times.
“What are you thinking about?”

Tracy lowered her eyes and said nothing for a while before sitting back down. “Since you want revenge on Winona, and I want to deal with her too, why don’t we work together?”
She had failed to keep her promise to David, but Patricia’s revenge–she had to <b>see </b>it through.
The two of them stayed in that café for more than two hours. No one knew what they talked about.
Even Tracy’s sudden trip back to Cloudville that same day remained a secret to everyone–except Ronald.
Two dayster, Tracy brought Ronald to a quiet cemetery on the edge of the city.
She had nned toe alone, but Ronald insisted on going with her, and she couldn’t refuse. Following the clues Jasmin had given her, she found Patricia and her grandmother’s graves. Patricia’s grandmother had spent her entire life’s savings to buy the plot.
After burying her granddaughter, the old woman was killed in a car ident on her way home.
The driver fled the scene and was never caught.
With no family left, the charity workers pitied her and buried her alongside her granddaughter.
The graves, left untended, were covered with weeds.
Tracy and Ronald said nothing. They simply pulled the weeds and cleaned the area in silence.
When they had removed all the weed, Tracy finally asked, “Do you think the hit–and–run was an ident?” Ronald knew she <i>was </i>asking his opinion. “I’ve never believed in coincidences like that,” he replied.
Tracy pressed her lips together and said, “Neither do I
She would uncover the truth and avenge Patricia, her grandmother, and David.
Tracy vowed to get revenge for them.
Ronald noticed the fire burning in her eyes.
He had a tinge of suspicion why Tracy had gone missing for two days, but he didn’t know the full story.

After a moment, he asked, “CeeCee, did you find anything?”
Her gaze stayed fixed on the headstone as she nodded. “Patricia’s death is tied to the Renaults.”
The Renaults were as powerful as the Jackmans, maybe even stronger.

With her current situation, she could barely defend herself from the Jackmans, let alone the Renaults.
Tracy knew pretending ignorance was the safest choice.
But she also remembered: back at the academy, if they had all chosen to y dumb, she would’ve suffered an even darker fate–maybe she would ended up dead.
Ronald caught the dark aura that radiated from her, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Did <i>CeeCee </i><i>have </i><i>some </i><i>personal </i><i>grudge against </i><i>the </i><i>Renaults</i><i>? </i>
Tracy interrupted his thought and asked, “Ron, can you do me a favor?”
That nickname–Ron–was something Ronald had once demanded after she met Liam.
At first, Tracy didn’t feel close enough to Ronald to use such an intimate nickname.
But Ronald was like a jealous kid, stubborn and yful, pulling every trick to make her give in. He cooked for her every day, piling her te with delicious food until she had gained a few pounds. Herplexion looked healthier. Eventually, he wore her down.
From the day they met, Tracy knew Ronald had a childlike personality, with a mind that jumped from one thought to another.
She had assumed he only wanted her to call him that because Liam had insulted him, and he wanted to prove a point.
But the first time she actually said the name, Ronald looked at her with utter seriousness. “CeeCee, I’ll never treat you like Liam did. I promise.”
Tracy had thought her heart had turnedpletely cold, but in that instant, it softened.
Later, the nickname became second nature, and Ronald grew fond of hearing her call him that.
What thrilled him now, though, was that Tracy had finally asked him for help.
In all the time they’d known each other, this was the first time.
Ronald agreed without a second thought. “CeeCee, whatever it is, I’ll help. If I can’t, I’ll find a way to do
that
Tracy didn’t hold back. “I want you to take me to an investor conference in two weeks. The Renaults are hosting it here in Cloudville.”
Events like that required invitations Ordinary people couldn’t just walk in.
But <b>she </b>knew Ronald could.

She still didn’t know exactly who he was or where he came from, but she’d noticed something about the way he handled things at the apartment. He never acted behind her back, and nothing seemed to happen. without his knowledge.
Tracy couldn’t exin it fully, but she vaguely sensed that, if anyone could get her an invitation to the investor conference, it was Ronald.
She just wasn’t certain how hard it would be for him.
