“Before, when Tracy was being a simp, she would have wanted to stick to Chandler every minute of every day. Now, she’s flirting with another man right in front of Chandler, again and again.”
Sometimes, he truly couldn’t understand Tracy. She clearly knew Chandler’s heart wasn’t with her, yet she insisted on clinging to him. But now that Tracy had suddenly become independent and was employing a strategy of retreat to advance, he felt that the current Tracy was even more dangerous.
Perry looked at the two laughing and talking near the exhibits and sneered. “So what if she’s charming? How long will that last? People are fickle. A pretty face with no substance will naturally lose its appeal over time.”
“Tracy is just trying to exploit their momentary interest, pushing herself in front of us to get our attention. That’s all. Which time hasn’t she caused trouble while simultaneously dropping obvious hints? We’re used to it. Just ignore her. Let’s go!”
He didn’t want Tracy to interfere with their plans. She was just a simp who would never change her dependent nature. If Chandler gave her one nice look, she would come back begging for scraps. It was just that Chandler couldn’t be bothered to deal with her. Since Chandler, the husband, couldn’t be bothered, they, as outsiders, certainly wouldn’t be. If Tracy hadn’t been trying to ruin their plans, they wouldn’t have wasted their time talking to her.
Tracy was unaware of their chattering. She had only walked a short distance when Felix walked toward her.
Felix pointed to Waylon and the crowd surrounding him nearby. He asked Tracy, “Ms. Xander, Mr. Waylon is talking over there. Aren’t you going to go talk to him?”
Everyone at the exhibition hoped to get a chance to speak with Waylon. You could tell by the size of the crowd surrounding him. Nearly the entire exhibition had gathered there, vying for a chance to talk to Waylon, as if a simple conversation would make him favor their submission.
Tracy glanced toward the group and shook her head. “No need. If one truly has the skill, there’s no need to cling to anyone. If you’re all show and no substance, you could talk until your voice gives out, and it wouldn’t make a difference.”
She trusted Waylon’s integrity. Although she hadn’t met him before, she had heard about his history. He was absolutely not the type to fear power or act dishonestly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to create a competitive bidding process to silence critics.
Hearing Tracy’s response, Felix felt even more strongly that she was an extraordinary person, and his appreciation for her increased. She was highly skilled yet unflashy, indifferent to fame, and unwilling to fight for attention. Tracy’s reaction was genuinely surprising to him.

At this thought, Felix smiled and praised her without reservation. “Tracy, you are truly a standout talent among the younger generation. Our conversation has been immensely insightful. You are humble and powerful. That is a rare combination. Unlike that Ms. Xander just now. Her every move exudes arrogance, which makes one uncomfortable. While her professional level is quite good, compared to yours, there’s a huge difference.”
peers. But
Felix genuinely disliked Yvonne. The woman was talented and a standout among her when discussing issues with him, Yvonne’s confidence bordered on arrogance, making the conversation feel slightly unpleasant. Tracy, however, spoke softly and eloquently, unpretentiously. Talking to her felt effortless and comfortable.
Yvonne and Tracy were completely different types of people. Tracy belonged to the reserved type. Talking to her about professional issues was like digging for treasure–you’d find something valuable with every bit of effort. Yvonne, on the other hand, was outwardly arrogant, constantly being recommended by Jared and Chandler. Her pride was practically oozing out.
Still, he couldn’t blame Yvonne. She came from a good family background and was personally very successful. She had the right to be proud. However, compared to Tracy’s expertise, Yvonne clearly had many shortcomings.
Tracy smiled at Felix. “Thank you for the compliment.”
Honestly, she really didn’t like people comparing her to Yvonne, but she didn’t show it. Since childhood, the Xander family had loved to compare her to Yvonne, as if her existence were solely to make Yvonne look better. Yvonne was sweet, sensible, had excellent grades, and was a doctoral student at the country’s top university. She, however, had been rebellious since childhood, lied habitually, and had poor grades. The Xander family thought she was beneath them, brought them no benefits, and constantly caused trouble for Yvonne, so they strongly disliked her.
Felix looked at Tracy and suddenly didn’t know how to continue the conversation. He had met many types of women in his life.
