Chapter 291 The Price of Truth

Sam looked at Jared. “Don’t bother. There’s no fixing what you did to Tracy, so just leave her alone. And for the record, she isn’t some low-level staffer. She’s a shareholder at Vector Tech. She’s working for herself, not you. She doesn’t need your perks or your pity, so stop following her around. You’re embarrassing yourself.”
Jared stepped back. It finally clicked. No wonder she wouldn’t even look at the offers he made to get her back home.
Tracy was turning the corner when Chandler stepped in front of her. “Tracy, can we talk?”
Tracy looked him up and down and let out a short laugh. “I don’t see what we have to talk about. Step aside. You’re in my way.”
She knew him too well after three years of marriage. He was out of options and looking for a way out.
She pushed past him. Chandler didn’t follow, but he stayed there watching her leave.
There was a time when he was the one standing next to her. Back then, she actually cared what he thought. Now he’d managed to lose the only person who actually gave a damn about him.
Since she left, his life had been a mess. He tried to tell himself he only wanted Yvonne for the sex and the connections, that he never actually loved her. He just wished Tracy would see it from his side.
After Sam left, Tracy got to her car and found Julie waiting. Julie was dressed to the nines, looking every bit the part of Yvonne’s sister.
“You want something?” Tracy asked.
Julie brushed her hair back. “Let’s go somewhere and talk.”
Julie hated being there. If Tracy didn’t have the proof that her father helped Yvonne frame Riley, she wouldn’t have bothered. To her, talking to Tracy was beneath her. Plus, they were both after Sean.
She’d wanted Sean for years. They were supposed to be the ones getting married until Tracy showed up. Because of her, the Whites had lost the Johnsons’ backing. As far as Julie was concerned, Tracy was the problem.
Tracy knew exactly why she was there. Now that Yvonne was down, the White family was next. That whole mess ten years ago wouldn’t have happened without them.
But since Julie had accidentally helped her by tipping off Yvonne and making her plan work

They went to a cafe. Julie stirred her coffee for a bit before looking up. “I’ll be blunt. I want you to drop the stuff from ten years ago. You’ve already got enough on Yvonne to put her away for life. You don’t need this extra charge. If you agree, name your price.”
Julie had only found out about the old frame-up a few days ago. If Tracy hadn’t aired the evidence today, Julie wouldn’t be sitting here.
She hadn’t expected Tracy to be this calculated. Tracy had waited until the perfect moment to ruin Yvonne and call the cops.
The problem was Yvonne was an idiot who had tied Julie’s father to everything. If she started talking to the police, the White family was done. Julie needed Tracy to back off.
Tracy took a sip of her drink and looked at her. “So you know Yvonne is your father’s kid. I have the evidence. It proves your father helped Yvonne and her mother get my uncle locked up.”
Tracy wasn’t letting anyone off the hook. Not Yvonne, not the Whites, and not the Gingers. She’d waited ten years for this. Now that she could actually put them in prison, she wasn’t going to just walk away because of a payout. She didn’t let her expression change. She could tell Julie wasn’t as easy to deal with as she looked.
