The people who’d been doubting Tracy all fell silent!
If Amber hadn’t really owed Tracy money, why would Tracy go so far as to sic a lawyer on her?
Baron was thoroughly puzzled. The way Tracy was doing things today was completely out of his expectations.
In reality, when Terry had said everything he’d said at the Zouch household yesterday, Tracy had gone ahead and prepared the related evidence and contacted Morningstar immediately to sue Amber when they needed to.
Tracy had chosen to let things go earlier, but Amber hadn’t known better and insulted her in public. Enraged, she’d decided to go ahead with it.
“Everyone heard the insults you spewed at me earlier, Amber. Go ahead and wait for a lawyer from my end too! Libel is a crime as well!”
Yuri stood up, voice cold.
Although she’d been insulted, she was feeling pretty great right now.
“Tracy, Yuri, I was just joking around, why are you being so serious?”
Amber switched her bearing immediately, trying to laugh it off. “Relax. It’s normal to pay back your dues. When Wilkes’ wedding is over, I’ll find some way to pay you back the money with interest.”
She knew that if it went to court, she had no chance at all.
Like Tracy had said, when she’d borrowed the money, she’d written a promissory note, and the two hundred thousand that Sherry had transferred to her was on record as well.
It was embarrassing, but she had to admit it now.
“So Amber really owed that girl money!”
“What a bitch, borrowing money and trying to weasel out of it until they try to sue her.”
“It’s a tragedy having relatives like this. That girl lent her money out of the goodness of her heart, and she’s not just squirreling out of it but insulting her to boot.”
…
In a moment, Amber was the center of a hail of criticism. Even outsiders couldn’t put up with her anymore.
Amber flushed with humiliation, but since Tracy’s lawyer had shown up with a letter, she didn’t dare put on any more airs.
She didn’t linger in the hall either, hurriedly leaving.
In the crowd, a young figure glared at Tracy, eyes full of hate.
Seemingly sensing her hatred, Baron gazed towards the figure, who panicked and looked away.
Baron narrowed his eyes at her, muttering to himself, “You’d better get it together, Marry. Otherwise, I won’t mind having you vanish from this world!”
Seeing the scene just then, Peter wised up as well. Seeing Tracy look at him, he pleaded quietly, “We’ll have a sit-down when Wilkes’ wedding is over, Tracy. Then we can discuss how much your mother put in when we built the mansion.”
Afraid that Tracy was going to thoroughly embarrass him with another lawyer’s letter, Peter lowered his voice to as low as it went.
“Fine!”
Tracy replied expressionlessly.
Seeing Peter slink away, Yuri snickered. “You are a badass today, sis!”
There was a hint of sorrow in Tracy’s eyes as she sighed, “If they didn’t go so far, I wouldn’t have responded in kind.”
“Don’t stress yourself, sis.”
Yuri took her hand, beaming, “Relatives aren’t necessarily family, you know? There’s nothing between them and us, so why beat yourself up over losing them?”
Hearing that, Tracy felt her chest loosen, and her guilt disappeared.
At that moment, a black Bentley stopped at the carpark of the ranch.
A middle-aged man stepped out of the car.
“You’re here, honey!”
