Chapter 94 You’re Addicted to Your One-Woman Show
Tracy responded politely, “Of course, congratulations to you both.”
Although she said this, she felt a slight pang, an inexplicable tightness in her chest.

Sean saw the fleeting look of disappointment in Tracy’s eyes. He frowned subtly and said in a low voice, “Julie, are you getting addicted to performing this one-woman show?”
Julie reached for her purse, her fingertips turning slightly white. She hadn’t expected Sean to show her such blatant disregard.
And in front of a completely unrelated woman, too, he was mercilessly exposing her lie.
Just then, Gary called. Sean pressed the answer button and casually put it on speakerphone.
Gary’s voice came through. “Mr. Sean, the trending topic on Twitter has been handled, and the White family has issued a public clarification. They stated that the entire incident was self-directed and has no relationship with the Johnson family. The engagement between the two families is entirely fabricated.”
Listening to Gary’s words, Julie’s face turned white, and she nearly collapsed. She quickly grabbed the wall behind her to keep from falling.
She hadn’t expected the public humiliation to come so quickly, nor that the matter would take such a sharp turn. She thought this time would be like a few years ago.
As long as the Johnson family ignored the public opinion, everything would be manageable. She could even use the opportunity to force an engagement and improve their relationship.
But she never imagined that Sean would force the White family to delete the post and issue a public clarification.
The event was so sudden that she couldn’t react, nor could she believe it was real.
Before she could recover, she heard Gary ask Sean, “Mr. Sean, the White family asked me to check with you to see if you could help them, given the past relationship between the two families.”
Sean glanced at Julie, then parted his lips and uttered one word: “No.”
“Understood.”
After hanging up, Julie finally reacted. She walked over and grabbed Sean’s wrist. “Sean, you can’t do this to me! The White family is facing a crisis. You can’t just stand by! I know you don’t like me, but you can’t be this cruel to me! What will people in the circle think of me

after this? Please, I’m begging you, don’t be so heartless, alright? I really know I was wrong.”
She thought coming to see him would make him change his mind, but Sean showed zero regard for their families’ long-standing relationship.
Now I’m completely ruined!
Not only did I fail to help the White family, but I brought public humiliation down on them.
She knew too well the severe consequences of clarifying that the engagement was off.
Over the years, the White family had relied on the Johnson family’s network to keep their crumbling family business afloat.
Without the Johnson family’s support, the White family would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Sean ruthlessly pulled his hand free of Julie’s grip. The White family used up its goodwill with the Johnson family years ago, Julie. You attempted the same trick again, so you should have expected this result.”
Julie was stunned by Sean’s rejection. Her eyes were red, and her mind was racing.
She had thought Sean might expose her, but never this quickly. The post was forcibly deleted. after only a day, and the White family was made to clarify the matter immediately.
Standing off to the side, Tracy watched the scent unfold with a sense of wonder.
So, the whole thing was orchestrated by the White family, and it wasn’t the first time they had done it.
No wonder Sean was so angry.
She didn’t want to get involved in their drama; the feuds of the elite were far too complicated.
Julie suddenly pointed at Tracy and challenged sean, “Sean, is your cruelty toward me now because of this woman?”
Tracy froze. Her scalp prickled. How could she drag me into this? How does their business involve
me?
Sean didn’t answer, but Tracy felt the surrounding air pressure drop sharply, the oppressive feeling washing over her.
Oh no! The big boss seems angry. What should I do?
Julie began to laugh, tears streaming down her face. “I knew it! Your relationship isn’t

ordinary! You’ve done so much for her; there’s no way you’re just neighbors. But Sean, don’t forget, she’s a married woman! Will the Johnson family ever accept her?”
At that, Sean finally looked up, his eyes sharply focused on Julie. “Stop concerning yourself with things that don’t involve you. If you don’t want the White family to go bankrupt, keep your mouth shut.”
His reply, which neither confirmed nor denied anything, stunned Tracy. Wait, why does this have anything to do with me?
Sean walked over to Tracy, looking down at her. ‘Let’s go.”
Tracy’s mind was blank. She instinctively asked, “Go where?”
“Didn’t you say you needed to get something from the car? Let’s go together,” Sean explained with rare patience.
The simple phrase “let’s go together” completely shocked Tracy. She instinctively glanced at Julie.
Julie’s face was chalk-white and she was staring intensely at the two of them, her expression suggesting: I knew you two were having an affair al along.
It looks like I’ve unwittingly gained another enemy, and I didn’t even know how I earned the enmity.
What should I do? Should I explain?
Will trying to explain only make things worse?
Just then, Sean’s low voice came from above her head. “Why are you standing there? Don’t you want your things anymore?”
After struggling internally for a moment, Tracy ultimately followed Sean. The big boss was not someone to trifle with, so she should be sensible.
Srage
Once they were in the elevator, Tracy watched the doors close, then mustered the courage to ask, “Sean, why did you let Ms. White drag me into your business? We clearly have no relationship, so why didn’t you explain that to her?”
The image of Julie’s furious, man-eating expression made Tracy feel completely innocent.
His refusal to explain was an indirect admission and that could lead to trouble for her.
While she wasn’t afraid, it would be extremely annoying. Yvonne and Quincy were already bothersome enough.
Sean looked down at Tracy, his tone much softer than before. “No need to explain.”

They really know how to play games. Two people are ghting, and the third person is the one who suffers.
Is this some new type of drama?
When they reached the garage, Tracy slowly stepped out of the elevator, only for Sean to suddenly ask her, “Tracy, am I causing you trouble?”
“No,” Tracy replied, turning her head to look at Sean, then shaking her head.
Sean took a few steps closer until he was right behind her. They were so close that Tracy could clearly hear his breathing.
Feeling the warmth at her back, her body stiffened, and her breathing became uneven.
Why is he suddenly standing so close to me? What does he want?
