Tracy's body tensed.
She said, “Kathleen and the others captured me.”
“What?” Finn frowned.
“They say they will only release me if you come here. Otherwise, they'll let Caleb beat me up. Darling, you cannot leave me to my own devices,” Tracy uttered indignantly.
Fury flashed across Finn's eyes. “Did I not tell you to stay away from them? What were you thinking?”
“They are too cunning,” Tracy replied sheepishly.
Finn gritted his teeth. “Did you mention anything you’re not supposed to?”
She shook her head fervently. “No, I didn't. Hurry up and save me, Darling.”
“I got it. You're so troublesome!” Finn was mad.
Tracy was ashamed by her incompetence as she hung up the phone.
Kathleen stared at Tracy with a poker
face.
Is it worth taking such a risk for a man who doesn't love you?
Tracy appeared to be in a daze.
Charles knew Finn would come later, so he helped Vivian to a seat.
Samuel walked over, dragging Kathleen along as they sat down too.
“Ryan, bring us some beverage,” he said to Ryan.
“All right!” Ryan ordered his subordinate to prepare the drinks.
Soon, someone brought over some fruits and drinks.
That's very thoughtful.
Kathleen did not eat anything earlier, so her stomach was empty.
She picked up a fork and helped herself to the fruits after the fruit platter was served on the table.
Samuel poured a cup of hot coffee for her and set it aside for the heat to dissipate.
Tracy was left alone and isolated from the others present.
She sat down as well afterward.
A dozen minutes later, Finn entered.
He was slightly astounded after taking in the scene.
Vivian immediately leaped to her feet when she saw him.
Their eyes met.
A hint of hostility gleamed across Finn’s eyes, but he quickly recollected himself.
He narrowed his eyes and shifted his cold gaze onto Kathleen. “Ms.
Johnson, may I bring Tracy away?”
Kathleen looked at him indifferently. “Finn, aren't you curious why we detained Tracy?”
Finn curled his lips. “Tracy was pampered and spoiled growing up, so she can be quite willful in handling matters. I apologize in her stead if she offended any of you.”
“Finn!” Caleb gritted his teeth. “To prevent my sister from pestering you, Tracy instructed some men to taint my sister's purity, and those animals even took pictures in the process. Do you think that's a trivial matter?”
Finn knitted his brows and narrowed his eyes at Tracy.
Tracy's eyes glinted when Finn entered earlier.
However, his gaze lingered on Kathleen and Vivian but never rested on her, as if she was non-existent.
“You did that?” Finn asked coolly.
She nodded. “Yes, I did that.”
He turned to look at Caleb and uttered apologetically, “This is my first time hearing this. In that case, I am truly sorry for what happened.”
Caleb's dark eyes shone with malicious intent.
“Finn.” Vivian bit her lip with tears in her eyes.
Finn said to her in the same regretful tone, “Ms. Lewis, I truly am sorry.”
Vivian was stunned.
Kathleen finished her coffee and stood up.
“Finn, something has been troubling my mind, and I hope you'll be able to enlighten me on this issue,” she said coldly.
Samuel narrowed his eyes.
He knew it was about time for
Kathleen to make her move.
