If the Jackmans were going to cover for Erin, Tracy didn’t care if she dragged the whole Jackmans down with her.
“The rest of this stuff, donate it under Grandpa’s name,” she told thewyer.
Thewyer didn’t look shocked. He just let out a quiet sigh. “You and Mr. Franklin … You two really are something.”
His voice had a hint of emotion, as if he respected the bond between grandfather and granddaughter. He said with a sigh, “Mr. Franklin told me that when I handed you these things, you wouldn’t keep them. You’d tell me to donate them under his name.
“But he also told me that when I donated them, I should put your name on it, Ms. Yarwood. He said it was hisst chance to do something for you.
“He said all this was supposed to be your 18th birthday gift, but then … everything happened. And so you wouldn’t feel awkward about your ce in the Jackmans, he waited until now.”
When he finished, thewyer packed up the papers and pen, then left.
The second the door clicked shut, Tracy’s voice broke. “Grandpa …”
The tears came in big, hot drops. Her voice shook with muffled, painful sobs.
Ronald’s chest ached. He couldn’t help it–he pulled her close and patted her back softly. “Cry, Tracy. If your heart hurts, just let it out. I’ll be here the whole time.”
His words were like opening a floodgate. Everything inside her burst free, and she cried hard, broken sobs that shook her whole body.
Ever since Franklin died, she’d been holding herself together, never letting her guard drop. After the funeral, it was like she couldn’t breathe.
Now she finally let go. She let the grief crash over herpletely.
Her cries grew hoarse. The rough, raw sound could break anyone’s heart.
No one knew how long she cried before her voice faded, and then she fell asleep.
She’d been wound so tightly for days, and once that tension snapped, her body gave out. She got sick fast. Naturally, her n to meet the donor was put on hold.

Erin didn’t know where Tracy had nned to go, but she heard from Andrew that Tracy now own 20% of Jackman Enterprise’s shares.
I’ve worked <i>for </i>years <i>to </i><i>get </i>10<i>%</i>. <i>How </i><i>is </i><i>it </i><i>fair </i><i>that </i><i>Tracy </i><i>got </i><i>double</i><i>? </i>
She hid the dark jealousy in her eyes and put on a worried look. “Tracy’s shares are the same as yours, Andrew. Won’t that hurt thepany?”
Andrew didn’t answer right away. He just stared at the papers in his hands.
He’d always known Franklin liked Tracy best, more than any of the other kids. But he never thought Franklin would give her everything–evenpany shares.
<i>No </i><i>matter </i><i>how </i><i>much </i><i>you </i><i>spoil </i><i>her</i><i>, </i><i>she’s </i><i>still </i><i>an </i><i>outsider</i>. <i>Grandpa </i><i>must </i><i>have </i><i>lost his </i><i>mind </i><i>at </i><i>the </i>end.
Andrew sighed before speaking. “Tracy’s not a rival to Jackman Enterprise. She won’t hurt thepany.”
She’s not <i>an </i><i>employee </i><i>and </i><i>won’t </i><i>get </i><i>involved </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><ipany’s </i><i>affairs</i>. <i>Those </i><i>shares </i><i>just </i><i>mean she’ll </i><i>get </i><i>a </i><i>bigger </i>dividend <i>each </i><i>year</i>.
But Erin kept up the worried act. She anxiously said, “Still … after Grandpa’s death, Tracy’s got a big grudge against the Jackmans. If she tries to interfere …
”
Her words made Andrew remember the way Tracy had looked at him at the funeral.
She hated him. She hated all the Jackmans.
Andrew’s hands shook slightly as he held the documents.
Erin noticed and kept going. “I just feel like she’s not the same as before. Rememberst time? She hit me in front of everyone.
“Now, with Grandpa gone, she’s got all these wrong ideas about us. If she uses those shares to mess with thepany..
“I can take a hit from her, that’s fine. But Dad and you worked so hard for thispany. I’d hate to see anything happen to it.”
Her voice sounded so sincere that Benjamin nodded in full agreement. “Erin’s right. Tracy has been recklesstely. With that many shares, she could cause trouble.”
Daphne’s voice was sharp with displeasure. “Twenty percent is more than what Erin, Liam, and I havebined. I don’t know what your grandpa was thinking, giving so much to an
outsider.”

The word “outsider” made Liam freeze.

But no one argued with Daphne. Even Andrew, who hadn’t thought that <i>way </i>before, said, “You’re right. I didn’t think about it before, but Tracy’s already pulled away from us. She even hit Erin in public. She really shouldn’t have that many shares.”
