“I’m going to teach you a proper lesson today. Otherwise, you’ll really never learn your place.”
The moment the words were out, Jared ignored Tracy’s struggles and dragged her toward the door.
“Jared!” Tracy shouted through gritted teeth. “You don’t believe a word I say, so why did you even bother coming to me? Would you have ever come looking for me if I didn’t have something you could use? You all know the truth, but instead of blaming the two people responsible, you’re blaming me. You are completely blind! If you want to know if I’m lying, just get a DNA test. Oh, and you’d better make sure that mother and daughter don’t tamper with the sample, or the results won’t be accurate.”
She had long since given up any hope for the Xander family. She wouldn’t have even bothered coming if she hadn’t wanted to cause trouble for them.
Jared’s eyes were red with fury. “Tracy!…”
Just then, Felix appeared at the door. He looked at Jared in confusion. “What are you doing? Even if you’re trying to poach Ms. Xander, this isn’t the way to do it. Companies are lining up to partner with Vector right now. Ms. Xander is the hottest name in the industry. Treating her like this is hardly appropriate, don’t you think? Can’t you see how pale she is? Let her go!”
When Tracy didn’t come out after so long, Felix had a bad feeling and came to check. He hadn’t expected to find exactly what he’d suspected: Jared was trying to threaten her into submission. It was despicable.
First, that brother-sister pair tried to force her to confess to cheating, only to be completely humiliated. Now they’re trying to threaten her into doing something she doesn’t want to do. Was the entire Xander family insane?
When Jared saw Felix, he instantly let go of Tracy. Having lost her balance, Tracy stumbled and started to fall.
Felix reacted instantly, catching her. “Ms. Xander, are you alright?” he asked, concerned.
Tracy shook her head.
Just then, Yvonne hurried over, explaining through sobs, “Please don’t misunderstand! Jared was just discussing the partnership with her. It’s not what you think. She wanted to leave, and Jared, in a moment of desperation, just grabbed her arm to stop her.”
“Oh, really?” Felix helped Tracy steady herself before turning to Yvonne. “Is this how you negotiate? Ms. Xander doesn’t even have the right to say no? Just because she’s not interested, you resort to manhandling her? Are you threatening her? I thought the Xander family was just

blind to the truth, but I didn’t realize your character was this rotten. In that case, there’s no need to discuss our partnership any further.”
Trevor also hurried over, bowing respectfully to Felix. “You’ve misunderstood. He was just joking with Ms. Xander. Please, don’t take it seriously. We’ve worked with Quinn Corp for many years without issue. This was just a misunderstanding.”
He hadn’t expected Felix to show up. From the looks of it, Tracy and Felix seemed to be quite familiar. If Tracy could get in with the Quinn family, they wouldn’t have to worry about all those partners canceling their contracts.
“Just a joke?” Felix sneered, and then he slapped Yvonne twice. “Then I’m just joking, too. Do you have a problem with that?”
Yvonne was stunned. She had just been slapped twice by Tracy, and now twice again. Her face was already swelling badly. She clutched her face, crying as she demanded, “What right do you have to hit me? You can’t just hit people, even if you are the president of Quinn Corp!”
She was furious. Felix had actually hit her to protect Tracy. It was despicable!
When Faye saw her daughter get hit, she also rushed over. “Who do you think you are?” she demanded. “How can you just hit people? You’ve gone too far!”
Chase ran over too. Seeing Yvonne’s swollen face, he instinctively demanded, “How dare you hit our sister on our territory? Apologize to her. Now.” Just because he’s the president of Quinn Corp, he thinks he can just hit people? This is infuriating!
Felix tossed a stack of printed proposals, hitting Yvonne in the face with them. “Your character is rotten, and so is your work. This proposal is yours, isn’t it? Redo it. What’s the matter? It’s a ‘joke’ when you manhandle Ms. Xander, but you’re not happy when I hit your sister? Such a double standard. If you have a problem with it, keep it to yourselves. And one more thing: if this proposal isn’t redone to my satisfaction, the new project is off the table.”
After speaking, Felix took Tracy’s arm and left the lounge.
Yvonne gritted her teeth in fury. Tracy, you won’t be laughing for long. We’ll see how arrogant you are then.
