The threat in his voice was so obvious that even a fool would recognize it.

Matthew knew exactly what Tony was using against him, and for a brief moment, a shadow crossed his usually cold expression.
Did the Millers really think they could control him forever because of that one thing?
Lowering his eyes, Matthew hid the storm of emotions building inside him.
When he finally looked up again, his lips curved into a tiny smile-polite, yet cold.
“Fine,” he said smoothly. “I’ll do my best.”
It wasn’t agreement from the heart, but it was enough to make Tony a bit more rxed.
He only had one daughter, and this scandal threatened the entire family. Even if it meant offending Matthewpletely, he had no choice but to push forward.
No one knew what the two men whispered about, but plenty of people saw them together. Among them was Tracy.
At an event as important as this, her attention was never only on Winona. She was also watching Tony- the man who backed Winona from the shadows.
And the moment she saw his first reaction was to run to Matthew, and she understood the Renaults had been helping the Millers all along.
To be exact, they had been helping Matthew.
Everything Tracy knew about him came from David. Though David had only mentioned him a few times, it was enough to get an idea of who he was.
A man like Matthew wouldn’t risk his own interests unless he had a reason so strong he couldn’t refuse.
“CeeCee, let’s go,” Ronald murmured close to her ear.
The job was done and all the drama was over. There was no need to stay.
Tracy gave a small nod, looked away, and slipped out of the hotel with Ronald at her side.
Almost no one noticed them leave. Almost.
Matthew did.
From the moment Winona had stormed up and grabbed Tracy’s hand, using her, Matthew knew Tracy was behind the whole mess.
He didn’t care about the fight between the two women-but if their grudge dragged his family and him into it, then he couldn’t just watch.
His eyes followed Tracy as she’s walking away. Then the reporters and gossip-hungry guests rushed in,

surrounding him and Tony.
“Mr. Miller, are those videos real? Do you admit to bribing the principal?”
“Mr. Renault, as Winona’s boyfriend, do you know the kind of person she really is?”
“Did you know about her bullying ssmates?”

Matthew’s response was wless. Almost instinctively, he slipped on the mask of the perfect gentleman, his smile polished and calm.
Even though he was angry inside, he kept his face calm. “Thank you for your concern,” he said warmly. “First, Winona and I are not a couple. We’ve worked on few projects together, and I don’t involve myself in her personal life.”
The uproar of the hotel crowd didn’t follow Tracy outside.
As soon as she stepped outside, she let out a long breath, like a heavy stone had been lifted off her chest.
The memory of Patricia-throwing herself from the rooftop in front of Tracy’s eyes—had haunted her all these years.
It was a secret she had never shared, something she had buried deep.
Now, after finally avenging Patricia, the deep hatred in Patricia’s eyes that day seemed to fade a little in her mind.
But it was far from over.
The truth about Winona’s bullying was out, but Winona herself had faced no real punishment.
From the way Tony and Matthew carried themselves, Tracy knew they wouldn’t just sit back.
She had made her choice. If she was going to avenge Patricia, she couldn’t allow this to end with just empty noise and no real justice.
That very day, she arranged to have people watch everything Tony and Matthew did.
As she expected, by nightfall the scandal from the Investor Conference was all over the inte. Livestreams, video clips, analysis, insider leaks-one after another, filling every trending feed. With the online storm amplified by the people Tracy had hired to spread the news, the story was everywhere.
For the Millers, pulling Winona out of this mess would be almost impossible.
Their only hope now was Matthew.
But to everyone’s surprise-including Tony’s and Tracy’s-a week went by and Matthew did nothing.
Not only did he make no effort to save Winona, but he even seemed to be putting distance between himself and the Millers.

Given the shame they had brought on themselves, it wasn’t unreasonable. Still, Tracy couldn’t shake the feeling something was off.
She thought back to that hotel confrontation, to the way Winona had spoken to Matthew.
The Millers clearly had leverage over him. If they had dirt on him, why wouldn’t they use it now?
If Matthew stayed quiet, it meant one of two things, either he had a grand n already in motion to save Winona, or he never intended to save her.
The Millers’ leverage was real, but the price of saving Winona would be far too high for the Renaults.
And with Matthew’s position in the family, his father would never allow it.
So what was Matthew really nning?
