    Chapter 174 Throw Them Out!


    This time, Winona’s little crew didn’t jump in to back her up.


    They knew it-no matter why Tracy said it, she was telling the truth.

    Winona’s temper red hotter. She shot them a fierce look. “What are you standing there for? Go get security and throw this uninvited guest out!”


    Maybe they felt guilty, because no one daredin. They ran to find security.


    The hotel took the conference seriously, so the security guards arrived fast.


    When they heard Tracy and Ronald had sneaked in, the lobby manager hurried over with security, apologized, and moved to escort them out.


    Before Tracy could speak, Ronald stepped in front of her. “Are you sure we don’t have invitations?”


    Winona was fuming and let her mouth run. “Tracy isn’t a Jackman anymore. How could you have an invite? What, did you sneak in with that man you kept?”


    She turned to Tracy and ridiculed, “It’s one thing to pick on Erin every chance you get, but now you’re using the Jackmans’ money to keep a gigolo? I’ve never seen anyone so shameless. No wonder Norris dumped you.”


    Tracy’s calm face went cold. Anger flickered in her eyes.


    Ronald had done nothing to her, and he’d barely said a word. How dare she call him names in front of everyone?


    Tracy stepped out from behind him and fixed Winona with a cold stare. “You see a good-looking man and call him a gigolo. Is that your insecurity talking, or are you just spewing garbage?”


    Maybe spending so much time with Ronald had rubbed off on her-Tracy’sebacks were sharp.


    She was about to take a step forward and keep going when a hand caught her wrist.


    Tracy looked back. Ronald was smiling, warm and sweet, trying to calm her. “CeeCee, don’t waste your energy on people like her.”


    That sunny smile made it seem like he hadn’t been insulted at all.


    Truth was, when Winona spoke, Ronald’s face had gone cold, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.


    He wasn’t angry about the jab at him.


    People had called Ronald the same ugly name since he was born. He still hadn’t shaken it.


    Back home, the insults were even louder and meaner. He was used to it.


    What angered him now was hearing Winona bring up Norris.


    He’d looked into Tracy’s past. He knew what Norris meant to her.

    Norris was the lover who grew up by her side. No one held a higher ce in Tracy’s heart.

    But that same person turned from warm care to cold distance. After the Jackmans threw Tracy out, she grabbed for Norris like ast lifeline, and he still joined the Jackmans to ship her overseas.


    Norris hurt Tracy worse than the Jackmans ever did.


    So when Winona brought him up and Tracy’s face fell, Ronald’s hands started to itch.


    For a split second, he pictured slicing off Winona’s mouth with a de, bit by bit. He wanted to shut Winona up for good.


    For a second, the maliciousness boiled up, close to breaking loose-until he heard Tracy’s voice.


    She was standing up for him.


    So she wasn’t upset because of Norris.


    She was upset because of him.


    That thought washed over him like warm water and cooled the malicious boiling in his chest.


    Before Tracy could step forward, he caught her hand.


    “CeeCee, we didn’te here to waste our time arguing with people who don’t have a brain for themselves,” he said.


    His voice was steady and calm. His bright smile had a way of settling people.


    Tracy felt a sudden rush of relief.


    She was d she’d been soft-hearted that day and saved Ronald from those kidnappers.


    If he’d been sent off to a ce like the Angelic Etiquette Academy, this smile might never have existed.


    She said nothing and simply lowered the foot she’d been about to lift.


    Once her anger cooled, Ronald turned to the lobby manager, who still looked unsure what to do.


    Ronald didn’t make it hard on the staff. He simply took out his invitation.


    Winona jumped in at once. “Check it carefully. Don’t get fooled by a fake.”


    Ronald and Tracy didn’t react. Their faces didn’t change.


    Because of her warning, the lobby manager checked even more carefully.


    Atst, he looked up to confirm under everyone’s interested eyes. “This invitation is real.”


    At a conference of this caliber, the invites go out widely across the business world. They don’t always show exactly who they’re for, but it isn’t difficult to tell the real ones from the fakes.
