Chapter 41 I Want Twenty Million More, Not a Penny Less
Hailey looked at the photos and the chat records. She was stunned, but she still forced herself to remain composed.
“Tracy, where did you get this stuff? Stealing private photos is a crime. You could go to jail.
Although she was panicking internally, Hailey showed no mercy, “This bitch Tracy has so much evidence. She completely blindsided me.
Tracy curved her lips into a cold sneer, “Is that so? Let me tell you, I’ve had this evidence for a long time. I wouldn’t have brought it out if you hadn’t pushed me this far. Surprised, are you? That I have this much proof of Chandler’s cheating? I copied it directly from Chandler’s phone, and I obtained it through legitimate channels. If you have a problem, take it up with your son.” With that. Tracy pulled Chandler’s old phone from her bag. “There’s still plenty of usable evidence in here, like Chandler’s hotel records from last year. Do you want to see them? A married man often claims he’s working late but is busy renting hotel rooms. What does that tell you? It tells you your son’s heart changed and he started cheating last year. Don’t think I don’t know anything just because I kept quiet.”
In truth, there were only a few hotel records on Chandler’s phone. Chandler had been very secretive and deleted a lot, but she still managed to find the traces. At the time, she was devastated, crying until her eyes were nearly blind. She didn’t want to believe it, but the evidence was undeniable. Once a seed of suspicion is planted, it takes root and grows. That’s why Tracy started having baseless arguments with Chandler over trivial matters. Initially, Chandler would make excuses, but gradually he grew impatient and eventually outright disgusted. But none of that matters now. Their three-year marriage is about to end.
Hailey’s heart pounded wildly. She instinctively tried to snatch the phone from Tracy’s hand, but Tracy quickly evaded her. “Tracy, you stole Chandler’s phone! Do you want me to call him right now and have him kick you out?” That bitch Tracy had given her such a huge shock. She had truly underestimated her. The thought of Tracy’s past docility being an elaborate act filled her with rage. How could this woman pretend for so many years and fool everyone? What a deeply manipulative schemer
Tracy shrugged dismissively, “Go ahead and call him. The divorce cooling-off period is almost over anyway. What’s the difference if it ends a few days earlier or later?” Chandler’s actions during her two hospital visits had extinguished all the hope she had left. She no longer loved Chandler, and she certainly had no expectations for him. From now on, they
were strangers.
Hailey’s face was flushed red, her eyes burning with fury. If Tracy’s evidence made it to court, wouldn’t her son’s entire future be ruined? No! She absolutely could not let that happen! Thinking this, Hailey quickly adopted a fawning demeanor. She grabbed Tracy’s hand and pulled her to sit down, “Tracy, let’s talk this out calmly. We’re civilized people. Why escalate things? Isn’t that right?”

Tracy ruthlessly pulled her hand away from Hailey, “I wanted to talk calmly, but did any of you ever listen? You slap me first, then offer me candy. Do you think that works? If you want me not to take this evidence to court, that’s possible. Have your son drop the lawsuit, and give me twenty million more for emotional damages.” Tracy had silently endured Hailey’s cruelty for Chandler for years. Asking for fifty million would have been letting her off
Hailey’s eyes widened in disbelief, “What? Twenty million? Tracy, you’re making an outrageous demand! Why don’t you just rob a bank?”
easy.
Tracy looked at Hailey as if she were an idiot, “Robbing a bank is a crime, didn’t you know that?”
Hailey was speechless.
“Fine. If you won’t transfer the money, we’ll see you in court.” Tracy didn’t waste any more breath on Hailey. She immediately gathered the documents and put them back in her bag. She had to be prepared before confronting Hailey. Given Hailey’s nature, she would deny everything if Tracy hadn’t brought proof. That’s why she’d spent so much time printing all the evidence.
“Wait.” As Tracy turned to leave, Hailey called out to her.
Tracy stopped, slightly turning her body, and asked, “Do you have something else to say?”
Hailey gnashed her teeth, explaining, “I don’t have that much money on hand right now. Can you give me some time to raise the funds?”
Tracy pondered for a moment, then said, “No later than 5 PM tomorrow. If I haven’t received the transfer confirmation by then, the deal is off Don’t try anything with me. I have nothing to lose, so I’m not afraid of playing games with you. But do you think you can afford the consequences? If this evidence comes out, your son’s reputation will be ruined. Do you think the marriage alliance between the Gaunt family and the Xander family can still happen?” Tracy had initially not wanted to sever ties completely, but their relentless aggression had left her no choice but to fight back.
Hailey suddenly remembered something and argued loudly, “Tracy, you accuse my son of cheating, but how virtuous are you? You were hooking up with another man while my son was working.” Remembering what Renee said, Hailey immediately felt more confident, and her voice became sharper.
Tracy sneered, “You need proof when you make accusations. Produce the evidence, or I can sue you for defamation. You would be legally liable.”
Hailey was speechless.
Tracy was done talking to the shameless woman She turned and walked out of the cafe.
Hailey stood there, stomping her feet in anger, unable to find any way to stop Tracy. After

The phone rang for a long time before he answered.

The moment the call connected. Hailey urgently said, “Chandler, withdraw the lawsuit against Tracy immediately!”
Chandler was silent for a moment, then asked, “Has Tracy contacted you?”
“No, no,” Hailey quickly denied, grinding her teeth, “I was mistaken. I didn’t give Tracy that thirty million; I lost it in the stock market. I was afraid to tell you, so I falsely accused Tracy of taking it. I need you to get the lawsuit dropped!” Although that wasn’t the truth, Hailey couldn’t think of any other excuse. If she didn’t drop the lawsuit, Tracy, that lunatic, would be even more ruthless.
Chandler quickly replied, “I got it.”
Before Chandler hung up, Hailey added, “Chandler, can you transfer twenty million to me? I saw a jewelry set recently that I think would be perfect for Yvonne. I want to buy it for her.”
