Chapter 204 Chapter 209 All of You, Get Out!


    Tracy did not have time to think. She quickly stepped back, mmed the door shut, and ran into the


    house.


    Her sudden move caught the paparazzi off guard. They stared at each other for a long moment before one of them finally asked, “What do we do now?”


    The one who had been pped earlier pondered momentarily, then gritted his teeth. “We’ll climb over.


    “The others are already inside. Why should we be stuck out here? Once things get chaotic, nobody’s going to care about a few of us nobodies.”


    His camera was destroyed, and he’d been pped. He wasn’t about to walk away empty-handed today.


    The group quickly came to an agreement, then helped each other climb over the wall.


    Tracy had no idea they’d snuck in. She rushed into the vi and froze at the sight before her. A group of paparazzi was pointing their cameras directly at Franklin, who was standing with his cane.


    Franklin was the type of man who could face a mountain copsing without flinching. The only time he ever truly lost hisposure was at his birthday party, when he heard that something had happened to Walter.


    At that moment, his face went pale with anger as he clutched his chest and struggled to catch his breath. He was clearly shaken.


    Tracy couldn’t think about anything else. She rushed forward and stood in front of him. “What are you doing? Get lost! All of you, out! You’re not wee here-get out!”


    A wave of fear and panic surged in her chest. She only wanted to get these people out before anything worse happened.


    But the paparazzi, who had finally gotten their chance, weren’t about to give up. They pointed their cameras straight at the two of them.


    “Are those photos online real? Are you really in that kind of rtionship?”


    “Ms. Yarwood, is it true that you shamelessly seduced your grandfather for wealth and power?”


    “Mr. Franklin, is that why you favor this outsider over your own granddaughter-because you’re having a improper rtionship with her?”


    “How long has this been going on? Do the other members of the Jackman family know?”


    They swarmed like wild dogs smelling blood, shoving their cameras in front of Tracy and Franklin, desperate to catch something scandalous for an even bigger story.


    “Bastards! You-


    ”


    Franklin’s face turned white with fury. He wanted nothing more than to raise his cane and strike every single one of them, but more than anything, he felt a sharp pang of worry for Tracy.

    No wonder Tracy has been so tense around the rest of the familytely. She’s been through so much!


    As the cameras kept jabbing closer, nearly poking her in the eyes more than once, Franklin finally couldn’t hold back. He raised his cane and shouted, “Get out! All of you, get out!”


    His cane struck the nearest paparazzo. The blow wasn’t strong, but in the chaos of shoving and pushing, Franklin stumbled.


    Tracy reacted instantly, catching him before he could fall. She turned coldly to the stunned maids hiding in the corner and barked, “Don’t just stand there! Take Grandpa upstairs now!”


    The maids had been too shocked to move, but one of them instinctively stepped forward at her words- only to be stopped by a hand.


    Erin, who had been standing smugly in the corner, enjoying the scene, stepped out. “I’ll take Grandpa upstairs.”


    She had worked too hard to set this up. At first, she worried the drama wouldn’t be as satisfying if Tracy wasn’t home, but fate had smiled on her and brought Tracy back right in time.


    There was no way she was letting the old man leave in the middle of this show.


    Tracy, struggling to hold back the frenzied paparazzi, didn’t notice what was happening behind her. She didn’t notice that when Erin tried to help Franklin, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.


    Franklin’s face darkened, his eyes sharp and piercing. “Did you do this?”


    Erin’s heart skipped a beat, and panic shed in her eyes. “I don’t understand what you mean, Grandpa. Let me just take you upstairs first. Once these paparazzi are gone, you cane back down.”


    Then she deliberately raised her voice. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. This is the only time they’ll ever get in here. If they miss this chance, they won’t get another. Once they leave without any photos, people will stc talking about you and Tracy.”


    Her words were like a shot of adrenaline to the already frenzied paparazzi. They became even more aggressive.


    “Mr. Franklin, are you avoiding our questions?”


    “Are you dodging because we hit the truth?”


    “Mr. Franklin, please answer us directly right now!”


    They shoved forward, ignoring anyone in their way.


    Tracy was petite. No matter how hard she fought, she couldn’t match the force of so many men with hear cameras. And now, more paparazzi had somehow slipped in through the front door.


    They charged forward without care. Someone stepped on Tracy’s foot, sending her stumbling backward.


    “Tracy!”


    Franklin’s heart clenched as he saw her losing her bnce. He reached out instinctively to catch her.

    At the same moment, Erin, who was holding onto him, seemed to see her chance. A sinister gleam shed. in her eyes.
