    Chapter 229 Couldn’t Be a Coincidence


    The second Tracy saw those three words, her heart jumped. She tapped the link right away.


    Her eyes flew down the page, fingers scrolling fast, until the whole thing clicked.

    Turns out, Jackman Enterprise’s brand-new product had just been exposed for totally copying a small foreign brand. The otherpany had the patent first, and except for the name, Jackman Enterprise didn’t even bother to change the packaging.


    The real patent owner was furious. They sued right away and said straight up that they weren’t taking any settlement.


    Then things got even worse-people found out the raw materials were cheap knock-offs. Tons of customers had all sorts of problems after using it.


    Jackman Enterprise had spent a ton buying the project from someone else. They’d thrown in money and effort this was the Jackmans’ most important project of the year.


    Later, the Jackmans gave it to Woodward Enterprise to run. But the Woodwards hired a shady supplier-a total scammer. The first batches were already made with bad materials. By the time they found out, the supplier had taken the cash and disappeared.


    Now the Jackmans and the Woodwards weren’t just losing all their money-they were also facing a mountain ofwsuits and payouts.


    Back then, Andrew used Franklin’s funeral as a PR stunt to promote the new product. It worked. Orders blew up, and factories worked nonstop. But now? All that inventory was just sitting there like bricks.


    The thrill of seeing preorder numbers explode was now gone. Now, it was pure panic watching the returns pile even higher.


    Maybe this was Andrew’s karma finally catching up.


    Even without being there, Tracy could imagine how crazy things must be at Jackman Vi right now.


    Ever since Franklin’s funeral, she’d felt this heavy weight in her chest. Now, some of it finally felt lighter.


    She knew this wasn’t random-Ronald had worked hard behind the scenes.


    And she knew Ronald didn’t like hearing her say “thank you” all the time, so she didn’t say it out loud. She just kept it in her heart like a debt she’d repay someday. She kept watching for updates.


    She wanted to see how Andrew nned to dig himself out and if the 20% of shares she still had could finallye in handy.


    But to her surprise, before the Jackmans made a move, the Woodwards acted first.


    On the surface, the Woodwards looked united. But behind the scenes, Albert and Felicia were always fighting for power.


    Felicia had been in charge of the Jackman project. At first, she used its sess to crush Albert and get the upper hand. But now that things had flipped, Albert had the upper hand.

    He wanted to use this chance to strip Felicia of her power-except Felicia moved first. She threw out a


    scapegoat.


    And of course, that scapegoat was her “only son,” Chris.


    Honestly, Chris had brought it on himself.


    When the Woodwards took over the Jackman project, everyone thought it was a sure win. Chris thought so


    too.


    Thinking he had leverage over Felicia, he volunteered to join and even brought in that shady supplier himself.


    So when things fell apart, he was the first to take the me.


    No one else cared about the Woodwards’ family drama, though. Everyone’s focus stayed on the Jackmans.


    They’d stolen the project from someone else, thinking they’d get rich, but ended up walking right into a trap. And now that the supplier was gone, they had to bear the loss.


    The patent date was solid proof. Even with all their power, the Jackmans couldn’t change it. Their only option was to talk to the foreign brand directly.


    Too bad the otherpany’s answer was a hard “no,” no matter what the Jackmans offered.


    With no choice left, Andrew had to fly overseas, leaving Cloudville in the hands of Benjamin, who’d been retired for years.


    The Jackmans used to be on top in Cloudville. Now, because of this disaster, they were the punchline of half the city. Daphne and Erin didn’t even want to go out anymore.


    The only one still willing to leave the house was Liam.


    In his mind, no matter how bad it got, Andrew could fix it. So he never bothered withpany stuff. All he cared about was finding out who saved his life on Suncord Mountain.


    His first lead was finding out where Tracy was at the time.


    If she’d been traveling, there’d be receipts or bookings. But after digging, Liam found no sign of a trip. What he did find was a hospital record.


    On the exact day he got back from Suncord Mountain, Tracy had been rushed to the same hospital he was in, unconscious. She stayed in aa for three days.


    The reason she was taken there was that a rescue team had found her on Suncord Mountain, badly injured and out cold.


    Suncord Mountain.


    Serious injuries.


    That couldn’t be a coincidence.


    Liam felt like he already knew the answer, but he didn’t want to believe it.

    He wasn’t scared of being wrong—if he was, he’d apologize and make it right. What scared him was facing the truth about how badly he’d treated her after the misunderstanding.
