Chapter 255 Exposing the Rot

Sarah knew the boys weren’t smart enough to pull these stunts on their own. This had Yvonne’s fingerprints all over it. Yvonne couldn’t stand the thought of Tracy being better than her, so she’d decided to eliminate the competition. It was pure, unadulterated malice.
Jared and Trevor walked through the door just in time to see Sarah strike Chase.
Before they could even process the scene, Yvonne was already at Sarah’s side, sobbing. “Grandma, what did Tracy say to you? Why are you hitting Chase? He’s just upset. He didn’t mean any of those things. You know how he is; he’s got a temper, but he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. Please, stop hitting him!”
Faye joined in, her voice thick with fake tears. “She’s right, Mom. I don’t know what Tracy whispered to get you this worked up, but please, calm down. Let’s just talk. Tracy, help us out here. Tell your grandma to stop. You can’t feel good seeing Chase get hurt like this, can you?”
Jared and Trevor exchanged a look and rushed
his fury on Tracy. “Tracy, haven’t you done Ver. Jared didn’t even hesitate before turning
enough? Ever
time you set foot in this house, you turn it upside down. I’m so disappointed in you. What kind of lies did you tell Grandma this
loving you? By constantly stirring up
time? You know she’s fragile. Is this how you repay her for loving
drama and stressing her out?”
He had been drinking at a business dinner, and the stress of the last few weeks had him on edge. The company was finally getting back on its feet, and he’d hoped for a moment of peace. Instead, he walked into a war zone.
To him, Tracy was the source of every headache. He felt he’d been more than merciful by not cutting her off completely, yet here she was, coming back time and again to cause trouble. If they didn’t put their foot down, she’d think the Xander family was a doormat.
Tracy swept a cold, mocking gaze over the room. “I haven’t said a word. Yet here you all are, barkng like trained dogs the second Faye and Yvonne whistle. You want to talk about drama? How about the fact that Yvonne hired a hitman to kill me a few days ago? I walked away, but Sean took a knife for me. Tell me, how do you think the Johnsons will react when they find out a Xander was behind the attack on their golden boy?”
Yvonne was clever and careful. Sean had been digging for days without finding a direct link to her. But that was her weakness, too. Once the Johnson family really started turning over stones, the truth would come out. And when it did, Yvonne would pay the price.
Yvonne’s face went white for a split second before she recovered. “How can you lie like that? I would never…”
“You’re the one who started the lying,” Tracy cut her off sharply. “I walked into this house and didn’t say a single thing before you all started throwing dirt on me. It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?

you’re terrified I’ll tell them the truth. Yvonne, the only reason you’re still standing in front of me right now is because I didn’t want to give Grandma a heart attack.”
Now that Sarah knew everything, there was no point in playing nice. It was time for the Xanders to see exactly who they were harboring.
