Chapter 277 A House of Cards Falling Apart

She hadn’t expected them to move so quickly, but she should have known better. Their ambition was a bottomless pit; they were never going to be satisfied just staying with the Xander family. Now that they knew she was onto their secrets, they were even more desperate
to act.
Tracy looked toward the window, her expression hardening. She wouldn’t let a single person who had hurt her grandmother get away with it. The pain they had caused her mother and uncle wouldn’t be forgotten either.
Sean nodded, his voice steady and supportive. “Go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I’ll take care of the rest.”
He stood up and walked out to the balcony to make a call.
Having finally eliminated Sarah, Yvonne was in high spirits as she looked over the inheritance documents in her hands. With this will, she and her mother would be set for life, even if they were forced out of the Xander family. Tomorrow was the day the contract would be signed, and once that was done, their new life would officially begin.
Suddenly, Chase burst into the room. His eyes landed on the will, and he lunged forward, grabbing Yvonne by the throat. His gaze was murderous. “Yvonne, where did you get that will? Did
you
kill her? Did you kill our grandmother?”
Caught off guard, Yvonne clawed at his hands, struggling to breathe. “You… you nearly scared me to death! Why are you lurking around like a ghost? She died because of a hospital error. How could I have killed her? Stop talking nonsense!”
But Chase wasn’t letting go. While he was in the hospital, his memory had finally returned. He had been waiting for her to come clean, to show even a shred of remorse, but all he got was news of his grandmother’s death. To see her holding a will the moment the funeral was over was more than he could take. If this woman was capable of trying to kill their own sister, what else was she hiding?
His grip tightened as his eyes turned a bloodshot red. “I remember everything, Yvonne. I know you hired someone to kill Tracy. I didn’t say anything because I wanted to give you a chance to change, but my silence only made you bolder. It gave you the chance to kill our grandmother. How do you sleep at night? Aren’t you afraid she’ll come for you? You heartless bitch, I should just send you to join her right now.”
He was shaking with rage. He had always tried to be a good brother, and the betrayal cut deep. As Yvonne struggled, gasping for air, she realized her doting brother’s love was worthless. The moment she was no longer his perfect little sister, he turned on her. All those years of playing

Just as she was on the verge of blacking out, Jared rushed in and tore Chase away.
“What the hell are you doing?” Jared demanded, his face dark with anger.
Yvonne collapsed to the floor, clutching her throat and gasping for air. Chase, pushed back against the wall, glared at her with pure hatred. “Do you have any idea what she’s done? She hired a hitman to take out Tracy! I heard it with my own ears. And she forced Grandmother to sign that will while she was dying before having her killed. They even tried to kill me to keep me quiet. If I weren’t lucky, I’d be dead just like her!”
The more he spoke, the more his agitation grew. The wound on his head reopened, and blood began to seep through the white bandages, staining them a deep crimson.
Yvonne’s heart hammered against her ribs. She scrambled toward Jared, her voice desperate. “Don’t believe him! I didn’t do any of those things. Tracy must have gotten into his head. He’s confused. Jared, we have to sign the contract with Mr. Waylon tomorrow. You know how much the company needs this. We can’t let him ruin everything now!”
If Chase was no longer useful to her, then he had to go. Keeping him around the Xander family would only lead to disaster.
At the mention of the contract, the rage in Jared’s eyes seemed to settle into a cold, calculated calm. He couldn’t afford to be impulsive now. He had waited too long for this, and he wasn’t going to let it fall apart at the finish line.
Chase didn’t realize what Jared was thinking. He let out a sharp, disgusted laugh. “Yvonne, you know exactly how you got that new project. You think this makes you untouchable? After everything you’ve done, there is no happy ending waiting for you.”
Every word out of her mouth made him feel physically ill. This was the sister he had spent his whole life protecting, and she was a monster.
