Erin’s face looked innocent, as if she had just asked a casual question. She didn’t seem like she was trying to guide Daphne’s thoughts at all.
But Daphne’s expression changed instantly.
Before, she only thought Tracy was shameless and wanted nothing to do with her. But Erin’s words reminded her of something.
The Renault partnership was important. When it came topany interests, Benjamin and Andrew would never tolerate mistakes.
Why couldn’t Tracy be more thoughtful, like Erin? Why did she always have to stir up trouble?
Daphne’s face darkened. “When we get home, I’ll tell Andrew. We can’t let Tracy ruin thepany’s business.”
“Tracy won’t listen to anyone,” Erin said softly. “Even if Andrew talks to her, it won’t matter. If it’s not Matthew, it’ll be some other man. The best solution is to cut off her habit of using the Jackman name to chase after men.”
She held Daphne’s hand, her voice gentle, almost hypnotic. “Mom, you remember how close Tracy used to be with Chris. We all saw it. Even when Tracy was kidnapped, Chris was the one who found her. That kind of life-or-death bond matters.
“And Chris is someone we already know well. The Woodwards just partnered with the Jackmans not long ago. If we helped Chris and Tracy get together, it wouldn’t just stop her from chasing other men—it would also benefit our family.
“As for Mrs. Woodward, yes, she did oppose Tracy and Chris before. Tracy’s reputation in Cloudville isn’t great. But not long ago, Mrs. Woodward told me she still cares for her son. If he and Tracy have feelings for each other, she won’t stand in the way anymore.”
Her words were ridiculous,pletely illogical, nothing like the sweet and innocent image she usually showed. Anyone with a sense would notice something was off.
But Daphne, like a fool, nodded eagerly. “You’re right. Letting Tracy and Chris be together would solve everything once and for all.”
She looked at Erin with pride, her face glowing. “You’re so smart. Not only are you kind, but you also think of ways to help the family. Not like Tracy …
The moment she mentioned Tracy, a sh of disgust passed through her eyes.
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about her anymore. I’ll take you to the doctor first. When we get back, I’ll buy you a few of the newest designer bags as a reward.”
Erin clung to her arm yfully. “I don’t want bags right now. If you want to spoil me, just send me a Venmo transfer. That way I can buy whatever I want.”
Daphneughed warmly. “Alright, whatever you want.”

The two walked into the hospital arm in arm, chatting happily, looking more like real mother and daughter than anything else.
Tracy, meanwhile, had no idea what was happening after she left. She threw herself back into work.
She’d been keeping an eye on Matthew, but she never noticed him targeting Winona and Tony. That told her one thing-she wasn’t strong enough to deal with him yet.
At least Walter’s car ident had started to show some clues, so she sent more people to investigate that.
As for Winona and Patricia, that matter was over. Tracy went to handle the final task-cing David’s headstone.
She had purchased eleven plots at the cemetery. Except for Ronald’s, which was added separately, all of them were arranged by age.
Only David’s was different. He had been ced right next to Patricia’s.
After carving David’s name into the stone, Tracy paid her respects to both Patricia and Patricia’s grandmother.
All of this, she did for David.
She had promised him before he died. She would pass along the words he never got to say. Patricia needed to know that she hadn’t been alone in her feelings. David had loved her too-and for a very long
time.
But because he was part of the Renault family, he had always been afraid of bringing trouble to Patricia and her grandmother. So he buried all those feelings deep in his heart.
Until a few days before senior finals, when he got a call from Patricia at 2 a.m.
She didn’t say much, only called his name through tears. But that single call burned in his chest like fire.
Patricia always kept a strict routine for studying. She never stayed upte. And she never called him while he was staying at the Renault Residence.
He hadn’t cared about anything else that night. He rushed out alone into the dark-only to be kidnapped just minutes after leaving the Renault property.
The next time he woke up, he was already trapped inside Angelic Etiquette Academy,
He never got to tell Patricia that he loved her, too. That regret stayed with him until the end.
He never knew what had happened that night to make Patricia call him. That question haunted him.
So in his final moments, he clutched Tracy’s hand and begged her to carry his words to Patricia. His eyes were still open when he died, full of unwillingness to let go.
But in the end, Tracy had failed to deliver his message.
