“Renee is only twenty years old, her wonderful life is just beginning, and you are destroying her! You vicious woman, I’ll fight you!”
Her daughter had never suffered any hardship since she was a child. Wouldn’t she waste away i prison?
At the thought of this possibility, she couldn’t forgive Tracy. She lunged toward her.
However, before she could even get close to Tracy, she was seized and forcibly dragged back to the defendant’s table.
The presiding judge said in a deep voice, “Order! Be quiet. Otherwise, you will be arrested on charges of contempt of court.”
Hearing she could be arrested, Hailey immediately quieted down, sitting at the defendant’s table and wiping her tears.
Yvonne walked over and comforted Hailey. “Don’t worry too much. Renee won’t stay inside for too long. Chandler and I will find a way to get her out.”
She hadn’t expected Tracy to actually have a few tricks up her sleeve. It seemed she had underestimated her.
However, if it weren’t for the help of the Johnson family’s “golden boy this time, Tracy definitely would have lost.
Everything she had was gained by relying on a man. It was truly contemptible. Sooner or later. she would suffer a crushing defeat.
Chandler was a bloody lesson for Tracy,
Hajley looked at Yvonne with teary eyes. It seemed she already had an answer in her heart. Her daughter had most likely done this to help this woman.
But things had already come to this, and the Xander family was an entity they didn’t want to offend. So even if she knew, she could only swallow her grievances
She pushed all the blame onto Tracy, that unwanted orphan girl
After the hearing ended, Chandler, who had been silent the whole ume, blocked Tracy’s path
He looked at Tracy with dark, unreadable eyes. Tracy, let’s talk
Tracy looked at Chandler coldly. “But I don’t want to talk to you. You’re running over to talk to

me right after I just sent your sister to prison. I don’t recall you being this diligent in seeking me out usually. I have reasonable suspicion that you’re here to threaten me into withdrawing the lawsuit. If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to talk about. No matter what you people say, I will not withdraw the suit.”
Her goal was to make Renee pay the price. How could she suddenly withdraw the suit just because of a few words from her ex–husband?
Chandler suddenly moved closer to Tracy. “As long as you withdraw the suit, I can give you five percent of Gaunt Corp’s shares. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Tracy looked at Chandler in surprise. She had to admit, this offer was indeed very tempting..
This scumbag must be out of options, which is why he would come to her with such a good offer.
Otherwise, given their shameless nature, how could they possibly compromise with her, and bleed so much at that?
At this thought, Tracy curled her lips into a cold sneer. “What? Your sister is only worth this much?”
Chandler stared fixedly at Tracy. “Then let’s add to it. Eight percent. If you agree to withdraw the suit, we can sign the contract tomorrow.”
Heh. Chandler was really willing to cough up a lot to get his sister out.
But Tracy still shook her head. “Chandler, you underestimate me too much. When I divorced you, I could have split at least fifty percent of the assets. But I chose to leave with nothing, not a single cent. Why do you think that was? It was to get away from your family. Do you think I’d be interested in your company’s shares? You’re not trying to give me an empty shell company, are you? I won’t fall for your trap.”
Although the offer was tempting, she wouldn’t compromise. These were things she had chosen to give up on her own, so they held no attraction for her.
She didn’t want anything from the Gaunt family either. They were already divorced. Having so many entanglements would give people the feeling of lingering ties
What she wanted was a clean break, not to drag things out. If the Gaunt family hadn’t gone too far this time, she wouldn’t have bothered to contend with them for so long
Chandler’s thin lips pressed together slightly, and then he said, “Ten percent at most. No more, Tracy, you can’t be too greedy You were the finance director at Gaunt Corp, so you should know what Gaunt Corp’s revenue is. With this money, you could just sit at home and live a life of leisure. You should weigh it properly. Withdrawing the suit is a simple matter for you You’d

better think it over and give me an answer tomorrow.”
After speaking, Chandler left.

Tracy watched his departing figure. She had been at Gaunt Corp for three years; of course she knew Gaunt Corp’s revenue.
The annual income was in the tens of billions, but she could only look at those numbers. That money had nothing to do with her.
For all her contributions over the years, she had never received a cent of financial support from Chandler. Instead, when they divorced, she was made to “owe” him several million.
Today, in order to get his sister out, Chandler was actually willing to use ten percent of Gaunt Corp’s shares as a bargaining chip to persuade her to compromise.
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Since when had they reached a point where they could only talk about interests, without a shred of feeling left between them?
After lunch, Tracy returned to Vector and threw herself back into her busy work.
