Chase, in his rage, vented fiercely, but he still didn’t feel satisfied. Tracy had genuinely gone too far this time. Yvonne had hurt her foot when she accidentally slipped back at the company. He had just finished work and come over to buy her favorite mini cakes and flowers to visit her at the hospital.
Hearing her older brother’s words, Tracy didn’t hesitate, raising her hand and slapping him across the face.
Chase clutched his stinging cheek, his face a picture of disbelief. “Tracy, how dare you hit me, you…”
Before he could finish, another slap landed across his face, evening out the sting on both sides.
Tracy’s eyes were bloodshot. She roared, “Whatever Yvonne says, you believe it unconditionally, but whatever I say, you think I’m just making excuses. You are belittling your own sister over a few words from the mistress’s daughter! How heartbroken would Mom be if she knew this? Chase, hand on your heart and tell me, did you truly keep the promise you made to Mom?”
She was truly furious. Her own brother had spoken such words to her. She was too disappointed in them. These are the older brothers spent all that effort trying to please before! They were completely trusting of Yvonne and her mother, yet they had never believed a word she said, from beginning to end. It was as if her entire existence was a joke.
Chase was stunned by Tracy’s slaps. Clutching both sides of his face, he hadn’t expected Tracy to hit him twice. He raised his hand in a rage, ready to strike Tracy’s face. “Tracy! I didn’t realize you were so ill-mannered-how dare you hit your own brother? I’m going to teach you a lesson today. You’ve made so many mistakes, and when your brother tells you off, you still act this arrogantly. You are absolutely lawless!”
The blow never landed on Tracy’s face. His wrist was caught by a male clerk.
Π
The male clerk kindly reminded Chase, “Sir, it’s wrong for a man to hit a woman. No matter what she did wrong, you shouldn’t hit her. After all, a man’s hands are for making money, not for hitting women, wouldn’t you agree?”
Chase, who was still fuming, shook off the clerk hand. “What do you know? She hit me first! Are you blind and can’t see that?” This was the first time in his life he had been hit, and by his own sister at that. He grew angrier the more he thought about it. Tracy was truly too much!
Just then, a female clerk handed a wrapped bouquet of carnations to Tracy. “Ma’am, your carnations are ready. Are these flowers for your mother?”

Tracy took the bouquet and nodded. “Yes.”
The clerk said with a hint of envy, “Then your mother must be very happy!”
“She passed away,” Tracy replied, her gaze instantly dimming.
“I’m sorry.”

She shook her head, her voice slightly choked. “It’s alright. She passed away almost three years ago. Her third death anniversary is in a few days, and we plan to hold a farewell ceremony.”
She spoke this last part specifically for Chase to hear. If he had any conscience, he would understand her intent.
Sure enough, after hearing Tracy’s words, half of Chase’s anger immediately vanished. He grabbed Tracy’s arm and asked, “What date is Mom’s third death anniversary?”
Though he was disappointed in his sister, he still respected his mother greatly. It was just that they hadn’t known their mother would leave so quickly. Then Yvonne mentioned she hadn’t traveled in a long time. For various reasons, their mood hadn’t been good during that period, and unable to resist Yvonne’s constant pleading, they went along. Who knew that upon their return, they would hear the news that their mother had passed away two days earlier? They were heartbroken. This incident became a lifelong regret for both him and Jared. Later, for some unknown reason, they were always caught up in various matters and never managed to attend her death anniversaries. They absolutely had to attend the farewell ceremony for the third anniversary this year. Otherwise, he and his older brother would truly be seen as unfilial.
A sarcastic curve appeared on Tracy’s lips. “You didn’t want to attend, did you? When Mom died, both of you were traveling with the mistress’s family, choosing not to return for her final farewell. You haven’t even attended her death anniversaries for the past two years. Do you really think you’re filial?”
Thinking of what her two brothers had done to her and her mother for the sake of Yvonne and her mother, she felt chilled to the bone. If her mother were watching from heaven, she would probably be furious. Their actions were truly unforgivable.
“Tracy!” Chase’s voice rose involuntarily. “The past is over. We should be looking forward, shouldn’t we? I know you strongly resent Aunt Hailey and Yvonne’s involvement, but Jared and I did nothing wrong. Can’t you just speak properly?” He truly didn’t understand why Tracy, who clearly disliked Yvonne and her mother, now seemed to detest him and Jared too. The only possibility he could think of was that Tracy was extremely resentful and had an extreme personality.
Tracy was so angry she laughed. “You two did nothing wrong? It’s all everyone else’s fault, is that it? You are truly shameless! Stop diverting the subject. The fifth of this month is Mom’s

third death anniversary. If you can’t make it this time, then we will cut all ties. From then on, you will no longer be my brothers.”
After throwing down these words, Tracy turned and left the flower shop before Chase could react. It had quickly grown dark outside, and a heavy, suffocating atmosphere filled the air. It felt as if it was about to rain at any moment.
Her mood matched the weather-heavy and a little painful. She looked up at the sky, and a large drop of rain struck her face. The icy touch made her uncomfortable. She bought a black umbrella at a nearby convenience store and hailed a cab to the cemetery.
The sky outside the car window grew darker and darker. Thunder and lightning flashed, and the rain grew heavier. The driver, a middle-aged man, couldn’t help but turn slightly and remind Tracy, “Ma’am, it’s raining so heavily outside. Are you sure you still want to go to the cemetery?” Looking at the storm, the rain didn’t seem likely to stop anytime soon. A young woman going to the cemetery alone with flowers was naturally a cause for concern. If she got soaked and fell ill, no one would even notice.
Tracy looked at the rain violently slamming against the window and then at the flowers in her arms. She said, “I

The last time she visited was for the tomb sweep, and that was
months ago.
The driver said nothing more. When they reached the cemetery, the rain had eased slightly, but the wind was still strong. Tracy opened her umbrella and stepped out of the car. As soon as she got out, a gust of wind instantly flipped her umbrella inside out, and the cold rain soaked her clothes completely.
