Chapter 443 Pretending and Punishment
“Alright.”
Tracy pulled Zayden with her and sat down not far from Eliza,
“It’s been so long since I came back. I really missed the food here. I never could get used to Westbrook cuisine.”
But just as she said that, she realized every dish on the table was Westbrook–style. Not a single one was overseas cuisine.
Looking at the spread, Tracy didn’t know whether to pick up her fork or put it down.
She could only force a laugh. “But today I’m actually craving Westbrook food, so I won’t hold back.”
She took a bite and immediately put on a satisfied face. “Delicious. This must be the Westbrook chef Christian brought in especially for Eliza. I guess I’m lucky to benefit from Eliza’s presence.”
As Eliza quietly ate, she really thought Tracy deserved an Oscar. –
She clearly didn’t like the food, yet she could fake it so convincingly.
More importantly, this Tracy was nothing like the one she’d encountered back in Westbrook.
But Eliza didn’t care. Her brothers knew exactly what was going on.
If it weren’t for the fact that Tracy was the Tames family heiress, raised by the Sue family after her parents died, Tristan and the others wouldn’t tolerate her for a second.
“Tracy, it’s about time. You flew all the way from Westbrook rest with Mr. Holt.”
–
you must be tired. You should go get some
Tristan’s words were polite, but the message was clear: time to leave.
Christian turned to Eliza and said, “Tristan had your room redone with a bunch of things you love. You should take a look upstairs. Mr. Hayes can stay right across the hall. You two are engaged now, and we’re all happy about it.”
The moment Zayden heard them mention Eliza and Nolan’s engagement, his hand – which had just been serving food to Tracy – trembled.
Tracy noticed immediately.
So much for claiming he didn’t have feelings for Eliza.
She felt her temper rising, but with Eliza’s brothers present, she couldn’t show it.
So she forced a smile and said, “Tristan, I’ve got other things to take care of. I’ll take Zayden first.”
“Alright.”
Tristan replied without emotion.
Tracy pulled Zayden up and started walking toward the door.

As they left, Zayden wanted to turn back and look at Eliza but she didn’t spare him a single glance
Outside the Suc estate, Tracy suddenly slapped him hard across the face.
She used all her strength. Half of Zayden’s face turned red and swollen.
“What the hell was that? You couldn’t stand seeing Eliza get engaged to someone else, is that it?”
“No.”
“Liar. I saw your hand shake. I don’t get it. If you like her, why don’t you chase after her? Why waste your time with me? Or is it that you just can’t stand the idea of a woman who once liked you falling for someone else?”
Tracy let out a cold laugh. “You really want it both ways, huh? Trying to get what you want from me, but still pining after Eliza. You whispered all that sweet talk to make me fall for you, and now you’re backing out. Tell me, what should I do with you? Hang you up and beat you? Or make sure you never find out how your mother died?”
Zayden clenched his fists in silence.
Tracy had found his weakness – and she kept using it to control him.
He’d once thought she was just spoiled. Now he realized she was downright twisted.
“You don’t have to get so worked up. No matter who Eliza marries, it was never going to be me.”
“Exactly. She’s the Sue family heiress now. You think she’d look twice at a man with nothing?”
Tracy insulted him without restraint. “Too bad. Back when you were rich, you treated her like a lovesick puppy. And now I’m doing the same to you. This is karma.”
With that, she turned and walked off.
Zayden had no choice but to follow behind her in silence, enduring everything.
Meanwhile.
Back in her room, Eliza found the space filled with her favorite little decorations – and several new outfits Tristan had prepared for hér.
She loved it all and started picking up the items one by one, admiring them.
She couldn’t help but say aloud, “What’s going on in his head? I’m not a kid anymore, and he’s still doing all this.”
Nolan watched her quietly, seeing how happy she was.
He said, “It just means he knows you well. He knows what you like, so he went out of his way to prepare it
“You’re right.”
Eliza smiled. “If only… they’d been my brothers from the very beginning.”
