Even if Zayden wouldn’t listen, Tracy would find a way to make him obey.
A disobedient dog still needed to be trained.

She hooked her finger under his chin and said with a sweet smile, “Tonight, I’m not taking no for an answer. I want Eliza to know that the man she used to like now belongs to me”
Zayden’s gaze was cold and hard.
“If you don’t do as I say,” Tracy warned, “I’ll make Eliza pay”
She had more than a hundred ways to make Zayder fall in line.
Sure, she’d been living under the Sue family roof for years, relying on their power.
But that didn’t mean she lacked connections of her own. As the heiress of the Tarnes family, taming a man like Zayden was hardly a challenge.
Zayden looked her dead in the eyes and said coldly, “Even without you, I’ll find out what really happened to my mother. If you won’t help, then we’re done.”
The moment those words left his mouth, Tracy panicked.
She quickly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him. “I was just joking, that’s all. If you’re not ready, I’ll wait a little longer. But don’t make me wait forever. You’re the only man who’s ever made me feel this way.”
As she spoke, she leaned in and kissed him.
His lips were cold.
They didn’t warm up at her touch–not even a little.
Zayden knew very well why Tracy liked him. Sure, he had some redeeming qualities. But most of all, it was because Eliza had once liked him.
Tracy wanted to win against Eliza. That was the real reason she picked him.
And if he gave in now, if she got what she wanted, she’d stop caring. She’d never lift a finger to help him again.
Night settled in deeper.
Tracy stepped out of the suite. Zayden had already gone back to his room.
The moment the door opened, a bodyguard stepped forward. “Ms. Tracy, shall I get the car?”
“What did Zayden do tonight? Have you finished your investigation?”
“Mr. Holt went to where Ms. Sue lives. After that… he visited the jail.”
“The jail? What was he doing at the jail?”
The bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of what to say. One of them finally replied, “Apparently,

Mr. Holt was once engaged to Ms. Sue’s sister. He went there to ask Ms. Sue to show mercy for Naomi Tracy had heard about that engagement, but she’d never taken that side character seriously,

Still, now that it came up, her curiosity was piqued. “Why would he ask Eliza for help? Those two sisters don’t exactly get along”
The bodyguard had no answer for that.
Just then, Zayden’s phone started ringing.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
Tracy had always been possessive, so at night, Zayden’s phone was handed over for her to keep.
Seeing the unknown number, she answered immediately.
A pleading voice came through the line: “Zayden, I really know I was wrong. Please talk to my sister for me. I can’t stay here another second!”
Naomi had traded her only silver bracelet to the prison guard for one shot at a phone call
Hearing Naomi’s words, Tracy’s eyebrows twitched with interest. “Which prison are you in?”
On the other end. Naomi froze at the unfamiliar voice.
Meanwhile-
Eliza jolted awake from a nightmare. When she opened her eyes, it was already the middle of the night.
Her phone showed several missed calls from Matteo,
She must’ve slept through them.
Why was Matteo calling so late?
Grumbling internally, Eliza still called back.
Matteo’s voice came through, low and serious. “You still asleep?”
“I was,” Eliza muttered. “What, am I not allowed to sleep now?”
“There’s been an incident.”
Her body tensed. “What kind of incident?”
Without waiting for details, Eliza started getting dressed and ready to leave.
A few minutes later, Matteo’s car pulled up in front of her building.
“What happened? Why the emergency?” she asked as she buckled her seatbelt.
Matteo shot her a look. “What the hell were your people doing? How did Naomi manage to walk out of prison?”
That single sentence stunned her.

Out?
Naomi got out?
“You’re kidding, right? How is that even possible? It’s prison.
“Apparently someone bailed her out. But I can’t imagine who’d be stupid enough to cross your family to do
her out. But I can’t imagine who’d be
it.”
“It wasn’t Nathaniel?”
“That old bastard doesn’t have that kind of pull.”
