88. Can’t Lose The Battle
Tracy ended up on the floor, scared and flabbergasted. Noticing his obvious displeasure, her heart beat uncomfortably, an insecure feeling creeping inside her.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” She said in a hurt voice, standing up.
“You seem mad at me, did I do anything wrong?” Tracy stood in front of him and sobbed. “Or is it because of Grandpa Winston? I told you I’m sorry, Honey. I swear it was a mistake.”
This time, Tracy didn’t dare to touch him. She maintained some distance, covering her face and crying softly.
Thinking of what Grandpa Winston told him about how Tracy had disgraced herself in the mansion, Lucas’s irritation only grew. “Just go away.”
Tracy didn’t see his command coming. Swallowing the shock, she acted understanding.
“I’ll- I’ll go and give you some space to cool down.” She lowered her head. ” But don’t stay angry for long, Honey. My mind won’t be at ease as long as you stay mad at me. I’ll go to Grandpa Winston later and apologize for everything.”
Displaying herself as the most pitiful girl with a patience that rivaled the unmoving mountains, Tracy left the office, looking crestfallen.
But the moment she reached the parking lot, her expression transformed into that of a thousand- year-old venomous snake, her mind seething with poison as she cursed Heidi and that old man.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Without glancing at the display name, she snapped, “What is it?”
Stella was taken aback from the other end. “Are you alright, Tracy?”
“Oh, I- I’m fine.” Tracy quickly collected herself. “Stella, what’s the matter?”
“Well, Blake got scolded by his son again,” Stella said in a displeased voice. “And you can’t believe it: A maid told me that Lucas Harrison and that filthy girl both spent the night at the Old Man’s quarters.”
“No way!” Tracy almost lost her grip on the phone. Stella sighed. “Things are getting out of our hands. We can not lose this battle, Tracy. Not by a chance.”
After hanging up, Tracy sat inside her car, her teary eyes turning red as if she’d murder someone.
“Young Miss, what’s wrong?” The bodyguard asked.
“It is time to carry out our ultimate plan to kill Heidi once and for all. You can’t fail this time, Drake.”
“She caused me to lose my job. I won’t let her live,” Drake said darkly. “The problem is, I don’t know where to find her.”
“Ha! Seeing her is going to be easy,” Tracy snickered. “I just need to see Zach Olsen.”
At StriveStyle Co.
When Heidi arrived at work, it was as if life had been breathed into the office.
The employees’ chatters were less, and each sat in their respective cubicles, focused on their work.
“Ms. Olsen, you’re here.” Isla walked up to her.
“Yeah. And I’ve never seen this place so harmonious. Why the sudden change?”
Isla smiled. “StriveStyle Co. is only a small brand, but it’s making huge waves, Ms. Olsen. The news about Ms. Anderson joining this brand is everywhere on the net. And you can’t believe it: Ms. Lilian’s scandal has been escalated. It’s all over the internet again.”
“StriveStyle Co. has gained a vast number of supporters in the past few days. Many more designers want to join hands with us, and you can’t believe that some models are reaching out. As for the employees, the ones that quit coming have started coming, and are beginning to work hard.”
“Also, I have one piece of great news that will make you very happy, Ms. Olsen.”
Heidi had so much news to digest.
She thought that the scandal had already been taken down. Her uncle would not intentionally let Lilian’s case keep airing on the internet.
They got to her office and she sat on the couch in the center of the office. ” What piece of great news?”
Due to her excitement, Isla didn’t think twice before sitting beside Heidi. “All the lawsuits against this brand will be withdrawn. In the past, our lawyer has been hesitant to take up the case, but added to the list of the corrupt employees, we now have strong evidence to back us up.”
“That’s awesome.” For the first time since Heidi started working for the brand, she was greatly overjoyed.
