    Andrew didn’t even realize how he sounded. He frowned at Tracy. “I’m doing this for your own good.


    “If you hold the same percentage of shares as I, it’s gonna stir up trouble in thepany. It could even attract shady people who’d cozy up to you just to use you.


    “And didn’t you always say we spoil Erin more? Well, now you and Erin will have the same shares. That proves the Jackmans treat you both the same, and you no longer have to fight with her over anything.”


    He said it like he was handing her a huge favor, his voice full of confidence.


    Tracy just stood there, face cold, letting him finish his nonsense.


    She used to think Andrew-who had always looked out for her-was the calmest, most reliable man she knew.


    But that steady, dependable guy from her memories was gone. She couldn’t even recognize the man in front of her.


    Now, all she felt was how ridiculous it all was. Nothing else. She’d already filed the man standing in front of her under “stranger.”


    She waited until he was done, then said slowly, her voice t, “Mr. Andrew, are you done?


    “If so, leave. I don’t have time to y this pretend family game with you.”


    Andrew had already guessed she’d say no.


    Five percent might sound small, but the profits from it were enough to make anyone jealous-especially since it was the first time in years she’d beaten Erin at anything.


    He softened his tone. “Tracy, don’t be like this. I know what you’re thinking-you just want to use those shares to go against Erin.


    “If you hand them over, I promise I’ll personally bring you back to Jackman Vi. Mom and Dad will spoil you again, just like before. As long as you can get along with Erin, we’re still family.”


    His talking like he understood everything didn’t surprise her. If anything, it was exactly what she expected.


    Andrew had always been the golden boy wherever he went. It made him cocky, as if he could read anyone in a second and be right every time.


    Back then, she never minded. She’d even been proud of him.


    Now, it just made her sick.


    She was about to speak, but a loud, exaggerated gag cut her off.


    “Ugh!”


    Tracy turned her head. Ronald stood there, one hand holding up his phone, the other over his mouth like he was about to puke.

    When he saw them looking, he rolled his eyes so hard that it was almost insulting.

    “You’re asking for her shares, then acting like you’re doing her a favor? Why don’t you give me your shares instead? I don’t mind doing you that favor.


    “And seriously, maybe you shouldn’t be the CEO of Jackman Enterprise at all. With skin that thick, you should be out on a construction siteying bricks-you could build a whole building with what’s on your face.”


    He hit the words “CEO of Jackman Enterprise” extra hard, making sure it stuck.


    Ronald didn’t swear, but his words stillnded like punches.


    Andrew had never been humiliated like this-except every single time he shed with Ronald.


    “You little…”


    His face darkened as he pointed at Ronald, ready to snap back, when he noticed the phone still in Ronald’s hand.


    A bad feeling hit him. “What are you doing?”


    He tried to grab the phone, but Ronald had been ready for that. He darted sideways and ducked behind Tracy.


    “Tracy, you see this? He’s trying to hit me. Is this how the CEO of Jackman Enterprise acts?”


    Ronald’s voice was all fake hurt, but he repeated Andrew’s title again for good measure.


    Andrew had no clue what Ronald was up to, but Tracy did.


    Her two years at Angelic Etiquette Academy might have cut her off from the world, but since she’de back, Ronald had taught her plenty, including how livestreaming worked.


    Right now, Ronald was broadcasting the whole thing live.


    Tracy shot him a surprised look. He was pretending to look pitiful, but he clearly knew how annoying he was being. He raised his brows at her with that “I’m a genius” face, clearly fishing for praise.


    She couldn’t help butugh. The heavy mood Andrew had put her in instantly disappeared.


    Not saying a word, she pulled out her phone and spent a big chunk of money to boost Ronald’s stream.


    Andrew still didn’t know what they were doing, but seeing them both glued to their phones gave him a bad feeling.


    That feeling didn’tst long before it became reality.


    Just as Andrew was about to lunge for Ronald again, his secretary called. “Mr. Andrew, it’s bad-what just happened was streamed online. The inte’s already exploding, and the PR team has no idea how to


    handle it.”


    Andrew’s face went pale.
