Christian had always been patient with his younger brother, but this time, he didn’t want to deal with him
anymore.
“You’re expected to attend tonight. If you don’t show up, don’t bother coming back to the Sue family ever again.”
With that, Christian turned and walked off.
Halbert stared at the suit laid out in front of him, filled with nothing but disgust.
He was going to make sure Tristan saw Eliza for what she truly was–just a greedy woman with bad intentions.
Only after the Sue family’s fortune.
In the Sue family’s private estate.
The butler brought the evening gown to Tracy’s room.
Tracy glanced at the dress and casually said, “Just leave it over there. I’ll put it on in a bit.”
“Ms. Tracy,” the butler said respectfully, “Mr. Tristan gave specific instructions. Tonight is meant to give Ms. Cassandra a warm welcome, and he doesn’t want anything to go wrong. He also mentioned that Ms. Cassandra and Ms. Tracy are about the same age, and he hopes you two will get along well moving forward.”
The constant “Ms. Cassandra” grated on Tracy’s nerves.
She had grown up in the Sue family. As an orphan, the brothers had always taken good care of her.
But even with all that care, they had never treated her like a real sister. There was always a polite distance.
Over the years, she’d gotten used to calling herself the Sue family’s young lady, and everyone on the outside had accepted her as the Sue family’s daughter.
Now Eliza was back, ruining everything.
Tracy glanced at the gown sitting nearby. She’s just an illegitimate daughter who went missing for eighteen years. What kind of family bond could there possibly be?
And yet they were throwing a whole banquet just for her.
Even invited all the socialites and elites from overseas and Westbrook.
Just thinking about it made Tracy feel suffocated.
“Zayden, didn’t you and Eliza use to be really close?”
Tracy turned to Zayden, who wasn’t far away.
Zayden had been grinding coffee for her, but at her question, he replied calmly, “We weren’t that close.”
“Really?”
Tracy raised a brow. “That’s not what I heard. I thought you two grew up together?”

“That was a long time ago.”
“Eliza liked you, didn’t she?”
After the Sue family found Eliza, Tracy had someone look into her background.

She’d already heard that back in school, Eliza used to follow Zayden around like a lovesick puppy, always trying to please him.
And honestly, Zayden did fit the standard female ideal.
Why else would she be into him?
Tracy deliberately walked up to Zayden and looped her arms around his neck.
“Who’s prettier, me or Eliza?”
“You are.”
“Then who do you like more, me or Eliza?”
Zayden didn’t answer that one. Instead, he kissed Tracy lightly on the forehead.
Tracy snuggled into his chest, satisfied.
Zayden was so obedient.
It was hard to find someone like him–handsome, well–mannered, considerate, and with no background to complicate things.
“Tonight, I want you to come with me.”
As soon as she got word of the banquet, Tracy had a suit custom–made just so Zayden could accompany her.
She wanted Eliza to see that Zayden was hers. No matter how much Eliza liked him, it wouldn’t matter.
And that Sue family heiress position? So what if Eliza was back?
The one who had lived in the Sue family all these years wasn’t Eliza–it was her.
“Zayden, don’t forget. You’re my boyfriend now. You have to do everything I say.”
–“Okay.”
Zayden agreed to everything without protest.
But when he looked at the suit sitting nearby, he fell silent.
Night fell.
The Sue family had invited quite a crowd. The banquet hall at Crown Hotel was completely packed.
“This way, Ms. Tracy.”
Tracy took Zayden’s arm and entered the hall.

The Sue family had always been discreet. Booking such a large venue at Crown Hotel was unheard of.
Looking around at everything the Sue family had prepared for Eliza made Tracy feel sick.
She frowned. “All this fuss for some illegitimate daughter? What is Tristan thinking?”
The banquet hall was even more extravagant than she’d imagined, and all the guests were big names she usually only heard about–never saw in person.
It was the grandest event she had ever seen during her time in the Sue family.
“Lucky Eliza,” she muttered.
Not far away, Tracy spotted Christian greeting guests. She quickly adjusted her hair and walked over with Zayden.
“Christian.”
Christian turned and saw her behind him.
He greeted her politely, “Ms. Tracy, when my sister comes over, please take good care of her.”
Just one “Ms. Tracy” was enough to put a wall between them.
Tracy’s smile froze for a moment.
Christian was busy working the crowd. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Tracy and moved on.
