Chapter 78 The Tables Have Turned, It’s the Gaunt Family’s Turn to Beg
Perhaps because she had endured so much repression before, Tracy felt an unprecedented sense of ease at this moment. With the divorce certificate in hand, she finally didn’t have to pretend in front of Chandler anymore. She had been suppressing her anger and resentment for so long, practically a punching bag. It was finally Chandler’s turn to have something to ask of her. The tables truly had turned-what a deeply satisfying feeling!
Hearing this, Chandler frowned unhappily, his eyes narrowed, and he looked down at Tracy. “Tracy, have you made enough of a scene?”
He had come over himself and even offered her a way to back down. If Tracy were sensible at all, she would take the opportunity. Yet, Tracy actually called him Mr. Gaunt and spoke to him sarcastically. This was the first time he had heard Tracy dare to speak to him in such a tone. He knew that the old Tracy was completely obedient to him, and her daily calls and messages were countless. Although he rarely paid attention to her, Tracy always kept at it, eager to share, sometimes even immediately sharing photos of a stray cat with him. But now, she wouldn’t take the easy way out and was speaking to him in this manner. Is this another one of her tactics to advance by retreating?
“No.” Tracy flicked the fallen leaves off herself, then stood up to look Chandler straight in the eye. “You showed no mercy when you filed a lawsuit against me, choosing to do so on the third anniversary of my mother’s death. You don’t leave me a way to live, so why should I save face for you? Is it because you have no shame?”
Tracy still didn’t understand. Even if there was no love left between them, they could have parted ways amicably, without escalating things to an irreparable point. But now, Chandler was pressing her relentlessly, and five million wasn’t even a large sum to him. Moreover, knowing full well that today was the third anniversary of her mother’s death, he still insisted on choosing this day to sue her. And now he was running over to tell her to forgive the person who framed her. Could they possibly be any more shameless?
Chandler’s brow twitched, and the veins on his arm bulged. His face was gloomy as he said in a deep voice, “Don’t forget, you are Renee’s sister-in-law. What good does suing her do you?” He hadn’t expected Tracy to be so unyielding; he was genuinely angry. The old Tracy was very docile, practically never losing her temper in front of him. Now she was repeatedly testing his limits. Does she really not want to return to the Gaunt family?
Tracy scoffed. “We’re already divorced, and the certificate is in hand. Didn’t Hailey tell you? A qualified ex-husband should disappear as if he’s dead, not constantly reappear like a zombie as you do. If you’re not annoying yourself, you’re annoying me. Mr. Gaunt, I imagine you can see that you’re not welcome here. Please leave.” She gave him a direct order to leave, not wanting to waste any more words on Chandler. There was nothing more to say to such a selfish person.

“Tracy…” Chandler wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by a voice. Sean strode over with his long legs. “Mr. Gaunt, can’t you understand human language? She already said she won’t accept a settlement, yet you’re still pressuring and manipulating her. When someone does something wrong, they should pay for their actions. That’s what you taught, isn’t it, Mr. Gaunt?” The young lady has finally found her voice today and knows how to fight back. It seems she took my previous advice to heart. Hmm, that’s good.
Seeing Sean, Chandler pursed his lips. So Tracy knew Sean; it was no wonder she could hire Grayson. Chandler chose his words carefully. “Mr. Sean, she was just joking with her sister-in- law. There’s really no need to make such a big deal out of it, is there?”
“Is that so?” Sean looked at Chandler with a half-smile. “It’s been taken to court, and you call it a joke? Do you think I’m stupid or are you? If I hadn’t had Grayson bring the evidence today, the scene would probably be quite different, wouldn’t it?” Chandler was speechless.
At this moment, Jackson walked over, his expression somewhat displeased. He said to Chandler, “Since you and Tracy are divorced, I don’t want to make things any more awkward for everyone. Please leave quickly!” He had originally planned to give this jerk a proper lesson whenever he saw Chandler. However, since Tracy had just divorced, he didn’t want to make things difficult for her, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction. Forget it. Even if I beat Chandler to death, it wouldn’t change the fact that he has already changed his heart.
Chandler’s gaze settled heavily on Tracy. “You said we’re divorced. When did this happen?” They were divorced and had the certificate how did he not know? Doesn’t a divorce require a signature? He didn’t remember signing a divorce agreement. And Tracy loved him so much; how could she possibly divorce him? Is this another new trick Tracy is playing?
Tracy couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She dropped one sentence and left. “If you want to know, you can go ask Hailey.”
Chandler didn’t understand the meaning of Tracy’s words. After getting into his car, he called Hailey. The line connected quickly. “Hello, Chandler, is there something you need to call me about?”
Raising a hand to rub his temples, Chandler asked directly, “Mom, did you know about the divorce between Tracy and me a long time ago?”
Hailey nervously touched her chin. “Tracy told you everything? Why is that woman such a blabbermouth? What is she scheming? Is she trying to use this to extort money from you? Don’t let her trick you!”
So what Tracy said was true. Chandler felt a throbbing headache at his temples. Leaning back in his car seat, he held the phone and said, “Mor, something happened to Renee.” This was what gave
him the biggest headache. Although the divorce was also frustrating, it wasn’t as tricky as this matter. If it wasn’t handled properly, his sister would end up with a criminal record.

“What?” Hailey cried out, her voice unconsciously rising several octaves. “What happened to Renee?”
After recounting the details of the incident, Chandler pressed his thin lips together. “Mom, how could you conspire with Tracy to deceive me? How did you get the divorce certificate?” He hadn’t intended to divorce Tracy. Although he had long lost interest in her over the years and was fed up with her constant pestering, he had grown accustomed to her presence in the house. Every time he wanted to come home, no matter how late, there was always a light left on for him.
After hearing Chandler’s account, Hailey suddenly exploded with rage. “What does Tracy mean by this? Suing Renee? Does getting the divorce certificate mean she’s cutting off all ties? I shouldn’t have sent her the divorce certificate so quickly! She’s truly an ingrate! The moment she walks out of the Gaunt family door, she wants to burn the bridge behind her. Has she forgotten that when her mother died, she would have starved on the streets if our family hadn’t taken her in?”
Chandler felt a tightness in his chest. He rubbed his temples and asked, “Mom, how did you get the divorce certificate?”
