Chapter 107 I Am Your
Yvonne had just downed her wine when she heard Tracy’s retort. The alcohol went down the wrong way, burning her throat.
“Cough, cough!” Yvonne choked, coughing violently. Chandler merely glanced at Tracy before starting to pat Yvonne’s back.
Chase finally snapped. He slammed his hand on the table and shot up, glaring at Tracy. “That’s enough, Tracy! When will you stop? Yvonne already apologized, what more do you want? Don’t think you can do whatever you please just because Mr. Johnson is backing you. Don’t you forget what your name is!”
They had only invited Sean. They never expected Tracy would have the nerve to show up.
He just knew it. Wherever Tracy was, there was trouble. Every time she appeared, things ended badly for everyone.
How could he possibly like a sister like that? Who could possibly like a troublemaker?
Instead of getting angry, Tracy laughed. “Is apologizing such a big deal? She apologized, so I must accept? Why should I? So what if I have the same surname as you? There are plenty of people in the world with that name. Who do you think you are?”
She was saying this deliberately to provoke Chase. In his anger, he might blurt out their relationship. That would make things exciting.
After all, Yvonne never acknowledged her as a sister in public, especially not in front of Chandler.
If she was going to play this game, she might as well play for high stakes. How else could it be thrilling?
Sure enough, Chase was so angry his chest heaved. He practically blurted out, “Tracy, how can you talk to me like that? I am your…”
Before Chase could get the word out, Yvonne, having recovered, cut him off. “Ms. Xander, I know you’re angry because of this misunderstanding. I don’t blame you. But please, don’t blow this out of proportion. It won’t do you any good. After all, Vector and Xander Corp have a partnership. If you offend a company partner, have you considered how Mr. Zach will handle you?”
What a joke. She would never let Chase acknowledge Tracy as his sister in front of Chandler.
She had to maintain her status as the “sole young lady of the Xander family” in front of Chandler. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would be for nothing.

Luckily, Tracy was a good-for-nothing and had no accomplishments the Xander family could possibly be proud of. Otherwise, it really would have been hard to hide the truth.

Lincoln was stunned again. He lowered his voice and asked Perry, “Hey, what do think Chase meant by that unfinished sentence?”
“Why did Yvonne stop him? It’s obvious Chase knows Tracy.”
“Do you think it’s possible… that Tracy is the other Xander family heiress?”
He had heard that when the Xander parents divorced back then, Chase’s mother took a sister with her.
And Tracy’s mother also passed away, making her an orphan. And they both have the surname Xander.
“Plus, the way Chase was accusing Tracy, looking all not like it was the first time.”
“Could they really be biological siblings?”
artbroken… it seemed pretty practiced,
Perry glanced at the others. He had no idea what Yvonne had whispered in Chase’s ear, but after hearing it, Chase sat back down.
He considered it for a moment, then lowered his voice. “I doubt it. Think about it. If Tracy were really their biological sister, given how obsessed the Xanders are with appearances, why wouldn’t they have taken her in?”
“They’re probably just former classmates who know each other and have some bad blood. That’s why they can’t stand the sight of each other.”
“The Xanders are all about appearances. If Tracy were really their sister, they would have taken her in right after her mother passed away.
“Besides, with Tracy’s personality, always loving the spotlight… if she were really a Xander heiress, wouldn’t she be using that status to show off in front of Chandler all the time?”
“So, when you think about it, there’s only one explanation. They must be former classmates with a grudge, which is why they look at each other like enemies.”
Lincoln listened and felt Perry’s reasoning made sense, so he dropped the subject.
Tracy, of course, recognized the threat in Yvonne’s words. But as if she would be afraid.
A cold smile touched her lips. “I won’t trouble you to worry about my affairs, Ms. Xander. You should probably be thinking about how you’re going to explain yourself to the police when they arrive. Oh, that’s right… You and Mr. Gaunt haven’t registered your marriage yet, have

you? Is it because you can’t? Or is there another reason? I heard that Mr. Gaunt is secretly married to someone else, which is why he can’t officially marry you. Do you think I’m right?”
She knew that even if she did call the police, they would probably just give Quincy a lecture. But that was exactly the effect she wanted.
Quincy was used to being arrogant and truly believed that with the Xander family’s backing, she could disregard everyone.
