It was just delivering a meal. It wasn’t as if she hadn’t done it before. It wasn’t a rare thing, was
it?
On the other end, Natalie was even more excited than her. “Really? That’s great! There’s hope for your uncle’s case to be overturned. I’m so happy for you.”
“We finally have a chance to send that detestable woman, Quincy, to prison. Just thinking about it makes me happy!”
“You have no idea. Yesterday, I went shopping with my mom, and Quincy had this look of looking down on people. She’s so annoying to look at. People who don’t know her would think she’s some big shot.”
It was Natalie’s first time seeing such a shameless person. She was clearly just an ordinary small fry, but she carried herself with an extraordinary air.
She was just a paper tiger, as they say, just puffing herself up to look imposing. Stupid and unaware of it.
Truly shameless!
Tracy sighed in relief. “It’s a good thing Sean is helping. Otherwise, we’d really have no way to contend with the Xander family.”
Thinking of the Xander family’s actions, Tracy became even more convinced that those who do wrong must pay the price they deserve.
Natalie nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, I’ll have my brother look into this too. With us and the Johnson family joining forces, we’ll definitely get a satisfactory result quickly.”
The Sand family and the Xander family were powerful families of equal standing. They could only assist the Johnson family in thoroughly investigating the case, but could not intervene directly.
Plus; Riley had saved Sean’s life back then, so it was only natural to ask him for help.
“Natalie, thank you.”
Natalie pretended to be angry. “Thank you for what? Do we need to be so polite? If you’re polite with me again, I’ll get angry and ignore you. It’s so cheesy. Hanging up now.”
After hanging up, Tracy remembered that she had rushed out and forgotten the food
containers.

Forget it. I don’t have to deliver food tomorrow anyway. I’ll just leave them at Sean’s place. If he eats by himself and doesn’t even bring them back, then he can just starve!
Thinking this way, Tracy instantly felt no mental burden. She started the car and quickly drove
away.
When she got home, she was already exhausted and fell asleep early.
The next day was Monday. Tracy hadn’t even gotten up when she received a call from Natalie. “Tracy, look at the trending topics! The Gaunt family is so shameless. They actually hired paid trolls. They’re trying to smear you online.”
Tracy rubbed her eyes and opened Twitter. Sure enough, the top few items on the trending list were photos of her and Renee together.
The last picture was of Renee, taken in prison. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, looking pitiful.
The caption read: The Gaunt family’s eldest daughter treated Tracy as her best friend, only to be betrayed by Tracy, who personally sent her to prison. It’s truly lamentable.
The comments below were all uniform, calling Tracy an ingrate and shameless. Some even said Tracy should be dragged online.
This was the same tactic from ten years ago, being used again. But they had miscalculated. She wasn’t her uncle, and there was no way she would let their treacherous plan succeed.
She knew without thinking that this idea had, nine times out of ten, come from Yvonne. After all, that woman’s mother had also been involved in her uncle’s case back then.
Seeing Tracy silent for a long time, Natalie asked anxiously, “Tracy, are you okay? Do you need my brother’s help?”
Tracy was pulled back to her senses and shook her head. “No need. Let public opinion ferment for now. I want to see exactly what these people are trying to do.”
“It’s fine. This way, I can also follow the clues to investigate the truth of what happened back then.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t be scared off by public opinion. Their actions are actually beneficial to us.”
As for who did it back then, she didn’t care to know. Those who aid the wicked are all cut from the same cloth.
Even if Trevor hadn’t done it, if not for his indulgence, how would Faye have dared to be so audacious?

Natalie sighed in relief. “Okay, I support you. As long as you don’t mind, I’ll listen to you.”
After hanging up, Tracy went to wash up. While making breakfast, she thought of Sean.
He had helped her so much. Making breakfast was just a small, convenient thing to do.
So she made an extra portion. After she finished, she knocked on Sean’s door.
After a short while, Sean, fully dressed, came to open the door. His tall figure stood behind the door, a clean-cut silhouette.
No matter how many times she looked, she felt this frustrating man was so easy on the eyes.
He was really handsome.
Tracy handed the food container to Sean. “I accidentally made too much breakfast. I figured you probably hadn’t eaten yet, so I brought it over for you.”
Sean’s tall frame leaned against the doorframe, his dark eyes holding a faint, subtle warmth.
He mercilessly exposed her lie. “If you want to bring me breakfast, just bring it. No need to find excuses that even you don’t believe.”
He didn’t like all the beating around the bush, but he really liked the feeling of Tracy caring for him. That feeling gave him a sense of belonging.
