Hailey let out a sharp, nasty laugh and glared at Yvonne. “Yeah, I’ll vouch for that. Yvonne is a total fake. A complete slut. If we knew you were a fraud from the start, there’s no way in hell I’d have let my son touch you. You played us, Yvonne. You really did. We traded a diamond for a piece of glass and it’s all your fault.”
Seeing Tracy at the top of the world while Yvonne was face-down in the dirt made Hailey want to strangle the girl.
This woman knew she wasn’t a Xander. She knew it and she still used their name to get to Chandler. Chandler was totally brainwashed, and even Hailey fell for the act. That’s why everything fell apart.
She had mistaken a pebble for a pearl and the regret was making her sick. If she hadn’t been so focused on hating Tracy and breaking them up, Chandler would be the one winning right now.
If only Tracy would take him back.
Hailey’s outburst shifted the mood, and the people watching started jeering again.
“Who’s the old lady? She was just beating on that girl. Is she family?”
“Didn’t you hear her? She said her son almost went broke because of Yvonne. That’s probably the mother-in-law. They’re Gaunts. I heard that family lost everything on a project Yvonne pushed.”
“The Xanders are in the same boat. A woman who tricks her own brothers and fiancé into losing every cent belongs in prison.”
“I heard she tried to steal five hundred million too. They caught her, but still. Someone that twisted is terrifying.”
Yvonne was shaking with rage. She didn’t expect Hailey to jump in and kick her while she was down. She thought she could use the pregnancy to control them, but Chandler wouldn’t even see her.
The last time she tried to find him, his secretary just threw a credit card at her and told her to go get an abortion. Now, after being publicly thrashed by Hailey and Renee with everyone watching, she was losing her mind.
It was obvious now. The Gaunts were just like the Whites. They were vultures.
Yvonne dug her nails into her palms, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Hailey. “I know you’re pissed because of a misunderstanding, but have some perspective. For the sake of the baby, stop making a scene. I’m begging you. If you think you can just crawl back to Tracy now, you’re

Yvonne stepped closer to Hailey and dropped her voice. “I’m not a Xander, but I’m a White now. If you treat me right, the Gaunts might actually get a chance to work with them. My dad just took me back and he treats me like gold. One word from me and he’ll save the Gaunt family. I just got caught in Tracy’s trap this time, but her luck won’t last forever.”
She wasn’t going to let Tracy win that easily. She was just waiting for a chance to strike back.
It didn’t matter if the Whites actually treated her like trash. She would never admit it. As long as the world thought she was the favorite daughter, she still had a life.
To everyone else, the Whites spoiled her. She had everything. But in private, the second they were annoyed, they took it out on her. They knew how to hit her so the bruises wouldn’t show. They wouldn’t kill her, but they made sure she was in pain. They were professionals at it, so she had zero proof.
Julie made her life a nightmare every single day. She was a servant in that house. The White family was a hellhole disguised as a palace.
It was the exact opposite of the princess life she had with the Xanders. And she blamed Tracy for every second of it. Tracy needed to die.
Hailey’s eyes shifted as she thought about it, but Renee pulled her away before she could speak.
“Mom, I think she’s right,” Renee whispered in her ear. “With her new status, she can actually help Chandler’s company. Chandler has been working himself to death trying to fix things. If Yvonne can help, we can go back to our old life. I’m sick of living in a tiny rental and eating cheap takeout. Look at me. I’m getting thin.”
It didn’t matter what Yvonne had done. If she was the ticket back to the high life, they’d take her. Anything was better than being poor.
