Chapter 399: There was no denying it-Tracy was breathtaking.
More importantly, she was exactly the type of woman Brian had always envisioned by his side. She was graceful, poised, and exuded an effortless elegance. Who wouldn't be captivated by her charm? Murmurs spread through the crowd. "Tracy Haynes is stunning. No wonder Brian White was drawn to her." "I heard he has liked her since their college days. They were each other's first love—what a perfect pair.” "But for sreason, they ended up parting ways. Now that they've reunited, it's like they were meant to be." Tracy's eyes sparkled with delight as a triumphant smile curved on her lips. She seemed to glow, basking in her own sense of victory.

You have the right to be here, but I don't?" "Oh no, Rachel, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just... well, I know you're not fond of these kinds of social gatherings, so I assumed you wouldn't attend." Tracy played the part of the innocent victim, her eyes welling up as she rushed to explain.
"I simply felt like coming today." Tracy paused for a moment before leaning in and lowering her voice so only Rachel could hear.
"Rachel, care to take a guess? Do you think Brian cwith me?" "Not interested," Rachel said flatly, her tone as cold as ice.
To Rachel, Tracy's motives were painfully clear.
Tracy wasn't one to give up easily. She flashed a soft smile. "Are you truly not interested, or are you just scared to guess? Afraid to face the truth?" "Does it even matter?" "Of course, it does. If I had to guess, you probably hateright now. Maybe even hoping I get run over the second I walk out of here!" "Oh? Sounds more like that's what you've been hoping for. Wishing for my downfall every single day." Tracy had meant to provoke Rachel, but instead, Rachel flipped the script on her.
"Don't get too full of yourself. Once Brian shows up, I'll be the center of attention, and you? You'll be nothing but a forgotten shadow." "That's fine by me. I couldn't care less." She had no interest in entertaining people who were all smiles on the surface but full of arrogance underneath.

"You're so stubborn. But deep down, know the truth that you're jealous.
After all you're onese years, Brian has never once acknowledged you in public. I bet that eats you up inside." Tracy always knew exactly where to twist the knife.
Once upon a time, that had been om Rachel's deepest wound. But now?
She didn't even want Brian, much less smeaningless gestures. "And what of it?" Rachel sneered.
