Chapter 226 A Deserved Slap

But she was far from convinced. Vector’s contract with Waylon is probably going to fall through. Tracy won’t be laughing for long.
She had no respect for an opponent with no real power. Tracy just understands some tech; she won’t be able to withstand any real pressure.
Tracy slapped Yvonne across her pale face. Before anyone could react, she slapped her again, on the other cheek.
She glanced at her reddened hand. “You’re the one who told me to do it. You said I could hit you. If I didn’t, it would look like I was being unreasonable. An apology requires a bit of humility. With that arrogant tone, anyone would think you were trying to provoke me, not apologize.”
She had no intention of being pleasant. A good attitude would just make them think she was a pushover. They were so spoiled they couldn’t understand plain language. She felt solving this with force was far more satisfying.
Chase stepped forward, pulling Yvonne behind him. “Tracy, don’t push it. Yvonne already apologized. What more do you want? Even if we were wrong, we’re still your family. Why are you being so aggressive? Are you trying to drive us to our deaths? Don’t think you’re untouchable just because you won first place. So what if you have a contract? If you can’t deliver, you’ll be dropped.”
He truly hadn’t expected Tracy to be this arrogant, daring to bully Yvonne so brazenly right in front of them. It was despicable.
Tracy snorted. “You, of all people, have no right to talk. Is her apology such a big deal? Just because she said sorry, I’m supposed to forgive her? If I didn’t have real skill, do you think I’d have any chance of recovery after what you two pulled? You were perfectly willing to drag me through the mud just so Yvonne could win. It’s just a pity she couldn’t even manage second. place.”
She then turned to Yvonne. “And you. Did you really think I couldn’t touch you? Of all the schemes you’ve pulled, which one wasn’t aimed at me? If I weren’t worried about hurting Grandma, I’d have exposed you for who you really are long ago. And you still have the nerve to prance around in front of me. The moment you lose, you just run to the family to complain and slander me. Can’t you just take a loss?”
Yvonne’s initial shock faded, replaced by a subtle smirk. Tracy is still so stupid. That violent temper is her greatest weakness. It was one of the main reasons she never saw Tracy as a real threat. A foolish opponent offered no challenge.
Faye came over, her eyes red. “Tracy, I know you’re deeply prejudiced against me and my

daughter, but you can’t just hit people! Yvonne is a sweet girl. She was just misled; that’s why she made a mistake. Besides, she already apologized. How could you still hit her? You’ve gone too far.”
Seeing her daughter get hit, Faye’s heart ached. She immediately stepped forward and began to lecture Tracy.
This was the first time she had ever turned on Tracy. In front of the Xander family, she had always maintained the image of a perfect, gentle wife and mother. She was good-tempered, unfailingly kind to the children, and always spoke softly, as if she didn’t have a temper at all. Her angrily rebuking Tracy now, in front of everyone, made Trevor-who was so accustomed to her submissive nature-feel deeply uncomfortable.
Trevor’s face darkened. “That’s enough!” he snapped. “Will you all just stop? Yvonne was in the wrong. So what if she got hit? And you, Chase! Siding with an outsider to bully your own sister! You have the nerve to stand there and curse her? Go reflect on what you’ve done.”
Ever since listening to his friend’s advice, he had started paying closer attention to Faye and Yvonne. While nothing seemed overtly wrong, he couldn’t shake a feeling of deep discomfort.
Chase pouted, unconvinced. “Dad, are you going senile? How can you still side with Tracy? She’s the one who hit Yvonne, and you’re protecting her? You know that every time Tracy comes back, she bullies Yvonne. I’ve never seen you defend her like this! Did she get in your ear? Don’t believe her! She’s just trying to destroy us! Don’t let her!”
Tracy is really something, he thought, getting so many people on her side this quickly. I wonder what dirty tricks she had to pull.
With Yvonne still sobbing behind him, his heart ached.
