Chapter 205 We Might Have Misunderstood Her


    Andrew was the first to react. Along with his anger and disgust, there was also a strange difort in his chest.


    He felt like the Tracy in front of him had turned into a stranger.


    His little sister wasn’t supposed to be like this.


    Andrew couldn’t help but frown. “Tracy, do you even realize how much thepany lost because of this? We haven’t even gotten to you about it yet, and here you are throwing a fit!


    “If I had known you were this shameless, we should never have brought you back no matter how much Grandpa argued.


    “It has been two years, and you still have not learned a thing. I think we should send you back to the Angelic Etiquette Academy for another two years. If you still refuse to learn, we will keep sending you until you finally understand and obey!”


    Tracy froze at his words. A rush of instinctive fear spread through her body, sharper than the twisted pain in her fingers.


    She was scared.


    She was afraid that the Jackmans would really send her back.


    From the day she returned, she had kept her head low around them, giving in to Erin at every turn.


    She never wanted to go back to that hellish ce.


    But she didn’t have to be afraid.


    Even if the Jackmans tried to send her back again, Angelic Etiquette Academy wouldn’t take her.


    Derek and the others had fought their way through hell to drag her out of there. That was her final shield.


    Tracy took a deep breath to suppress the panic bubbling in her chest.


    Then she looked at Andrew coldly. “I have nothing to do with the Jackmans anymore. Even if you wanted to send me back, you have no right to do it.”


    She did not care how he would react. Lowering her head, she grabbed her twisted finger with her other hand and pressed hard.


    Crack!


    The sharp sound echoed, and her finger snapped back into ce.


    Her body trembled from the pain, but aside from a faint grunt and the cold sweat beading on her forehead, she made no sound.


    David had taught her that.


    – Dack WITCHE


    vige doctor.


    When they got hurt at Angelic Etiquette Academy and didn’t receive proper treatment, David had patched


    them up.


    He had even stole medicine for her when she had a high fever, but a teacher caught him and beat him to death right in front of her.


    In his final moments, he had held her hand tightly, not just to express his final regrets, but to press the nearly melted pill into her palm.


    Everyone watching Tracy was stunned. Even Erin forgot to react.


    Normally, if someone’s finger was twisted out of shape, the first thing they’d do is run to a doctor. No one would dare try to fix it themselves.


    They’d only ever seen something Tracy had done on TV.


    At that moment, the same thought ran through every mind.


    Is this really the Tracy we knew?


    Tracy ignored their reactions and went back to her room.


    She had to find a way to reduce the swelling on her face so Franklin wouldn’t worry tomorrow.


    The others just stood there, staring at her back,pletely forgetting how to react.


    Erin’s eyes swept over them, then she let out a small gasp and fainted.


    “Erin!”


    Everyone snapped out of it and rushed to her side. Panic was written all over their faces as they scrambled to get her to the hospital.


    After a round of examinations, the doctor confirmed she was only badly frightened, with some bruises but no serious injuries. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    By the time it was over, it was already past midnight.


    Andrew still had to deal with the chaos in the news and its impact on thepany, so he did not stay at the hospital.


    Liam left with him.


    On the way back, Andrew noticed Liam staring nkly ahead, lost in thought. “Liam, what is wrong? You have been off all night,” Andrew couldn’t help but ask.


    When their father had scolded Tracy, Liam had stepped in to stop him. When Erin was being bullied by Tracy, Liam had not intervened either, and he had barely said anything the entire evening.


    That was not like him at all.


    Liam frowned, looking unsure how to begin.


    “I…” He hesitated for a long time. “Do you think … Maybe we had misunderstood Tracy?”


    The concern in Andrew’s eyes vanished instantly, reced by a darker expression.


    “You saw the photos. The truth is right in front of us. How could we have misunderstood her? What is wrong with you tonight?”


    Liam retorted quickly, “I saw the photos, but Tracy did not take them, and she could not have leaked them. It would do her no good. She and Grandpa …


    “She has always been close to Grandpa. Even after Erin came back, nothing about that changed. We all know that. If anyone’s a victim here, it’s Tracy.


    “But you and Dad came back and dumped all the me on her. You did not even give her a chance to exin before you hit her. I have never seen Dad lose control like that. It was… it waspletely unreasonable!”
