All the blood drained from Vivian's face at that moment.
Even her limbs were trembling fervently.
While watching the entire scene unfold from the side, Charles and Caleb both felt worried.
“Why did you do that to me?” Vivian cast a blank look at Tracy.
She had always assumed Finn was the one behind the matter.
Cold laughter came from a sneering
Tracy. “Because you kept clinging on to Finn like a leech. Jeez... Vivian, he and I are already married. If his love for you was truly deep and genuine, why would he marry me?”
Vivian gnawed on her bottom lip in annoyance, countering, “That's because his family forced him to marry you.”
“His family didn't say that he had to choose between marrying me or taking his own life. That means he clearly loves power and glory over you,” Tracy hissed.
That made Vivian turn even paler.
Kathleen shot a surprised look at Tracy.
Doesn't Tracy know everything? She should be aware that Finn doesn't have feelings for her then. Why is she still so obsessed with him? How puzzling.
“I don't mind if he doesn't love me. However, I can't stand that you keep clinging on to him!” A murderous look crept up Tracy’s hideously frowning face. She seethed with utter rage, “Don't you know how irksome you are? Constantly bothering us like a pest and causing a scene at our home! You're the reason we can't have a peaceful life!”
“I-I just...” Vivian faltered as tears trickled down her cheeks.
“Tracy! Why are you saying all of that?” a furious Kathleen interrupted. “Just apologize!”
It was then that Tracy bit her lips, stopping herself from going on. Instead, she reluctantly muttered, “Sorry.”
Several tears dotted Vivian’s long, dark lashes at that point.
She said, “I can't forgive you.”
“Well, I couldn't care less.” Tracy turned to look elsewhere grumpily.
That was when Kathleen spoke with a frosty tone that could send chills down one's spine. “Tracy, don't you think you've gone too far by using these dirty tricks against Vivian?”
“I went too far?” Tracy scoffed. “That's because you've never had an annoying pest bother you daily.”
“There are many ways in which you could’ve resolved this matter.” A cold gleam flashed across Kathleen's hostile gaze. She added, “You didn't have to do such a thing. Instead, you could’ve gotten Finn to clarify things with Vivian.” “Oh, what do you know?” Tracy snarled.
A mighty, uncompromising rage flashed in Kathleen's dark eyes at that point.
“Clearly, you don't regret doing those vicious things, do you? Well, I won't ever let you off easy!” Caleb barked from the chair he got tied to.
“Hmph! Come at me then! Do you think I'll be afraid of you? As if! No one else in this world loves Finn more than I do!" asserted Tracy.
Kathleen frowned while turning back to her brother. “Charles! Look after Vivian for a bit.”
At once, Charles marched forward and stood before Vivian defensively.
He held her hand while comforting her with a gentle tone. “Don't be afraid. I'm here.”
Vivian's hand was ice cold.
Tracy looked at them, then lowered her head.
By then, Kathleen had walked to Samuel's side and asked in a soft voice, “What's Finn and Tracy's relationship like?”
“Why don't you ask her?” replied a smirking Samuel.
“Duh. She'll probably say that Finn adores her a lot. Asking her would just be a waste of my breath.” Kathleen shrugged.
Just then, Samuel cracked a joke. “You're not wasting your breath because you'll still need to breathe either way.”
Feeling speechless at his lame joke, she ordered, “Answer my question.”
“They’re not on good terms at all.”
“You arranged for Wendy to say those things earlier, didn't you?”
Samuel nodded.
“So, did Wendy tell you how Tracy and Finn get along with each other on a daily basis?” Kathleen curiously asked.
Samuel instantly turned to instruct his men, “Get Wendy over here now.”
“Yes, sir.” One of his bodyguards hurriedly carried out the task.
Not long passed before Wendy got escorted into the hall.
She had not left the private club yet.
Upon entering the hall, she awkwardly slunk over to Samuel and Kathleen.
“Ms. Johnson has a question for you. You'd best answer it earnestly,” Samuel icily ordered.
