Jared's expression fire for a second as he took the food hom me, then be shut the door with a bit more force than
necessary
As the door clicked shut, | felt a wave of relief wash out me.
Maybe once one stopped depending on men, they were just another tool in one’s tone. One could use them
when to let them at when one didn’t. But whatever one did, never bend over backwards to please them.
It was just after one in the afternoon, and | was getting ready to head to the airport when Tracy called me
The rival who tangled up half my previous life was now meeting such an anticlimactic end in this one
Tracy's voice was tinged with resentment. “Victoria, I'm quitting. Bet you're happy about it. Was it you who got
Jared to fire me?”
| wasn’t about to take the blfor this, “Sony, | had no idea you were leaving. Jared dropped off lunch for me
at noon and happened to mention it.”
My showing off must've stung Tracy.
Atter a few seconds of silence, she said, “This baby really couldn't have cat a worse t| do love Jared,
and | wanted to have his child. But sometimes life throws you curveballs you just can’t dodge.”
“I do love Jared, and | wanted to have his child. But sometimes life throws you curveballs you just can’t dodge.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt1 sneered, “You claim you love my husband, but you go and sleep with another guy and get pregnant? Tracy,
have you even listened to yourself? You sound absolutely ridiculous.”
Tracy laughed on the other end, totally unfazed, and said coolly, “Victoria, just because you're willing to stick
with one man your whole life doesn’t mean | have to be like you. I'm a hunter, not shelpless prey.
Men are just there to be used when | need them. | never once thought about pretending to be pure to hook Jared
Brains are what matter most between a woman and a man. When two strong people collide, that’s when the real
sparks fly
“But you? All you do is play the victim and act pitiful. No wonder i never bothered to look at you twice, you're
just a nobody”
| was stutined. For the first time, it hitthat women could rule the world just like men, as long as they were
strong enough.
Tracy just taughta lesson I'd never forget
“Guess | was being shallow,” | said with a laugh. “Thanks for sharing all that, it really opened my eyes. And don’t
feel too bad. Jared did respect you, you know
“I don’t need you to spell it out for me. | get it,” Tracy snorted. “Oh, and did you know the person replacingis
also a woman? She’s got a master’s in finance from Aurella, and she’s every bit as sharp as | am.
“Victoria, you think takingdown means you can sit back and chill? You're dead wrong. A guy like Jared is both
a hunter and the hunted. There's no shortage of people lining up to snatch him away. You won't be able to keep
him.”
“Why should | bother holding onto him?” | shot back
Tracy was stunned into silence
| said coolly, “I'm done overthinking things. Thy doors open. He can cor go as he pleases. Either way, I'm
not going to lose sleep over him anymore.
Tracy let out a couple of dry laughs. “Don’t pretend it’s that easy. You've loved him for years. There's no way you
can just get ove just trying to make your loss look less pathetic in front of me.
With that, she hung up, probably realizing she couldn't get a rise out of me, so there was no satisfaction in it for

Ifiddled with my phone, my mind dining far away.
it wasn’t just years | loved Jared. Back in my previous life, he was my whole world.
When | got to the airport, | noticed the woman Jared sent over was snapping a few quick photos ofwith her
phone. She was probably i straight to him for an update
| didn’t bother with her. Jared was something else. He could chase after other women all he wanted, but the
second | left town, he got someone spying on me. It was such a double standard
After a long flight, I finally touched down icrashed for the night, then jumped straight into work the next morning
About that 100 million wrangled out of Jared, | was dead set on burning through every last penny.
Harmonia Hotel was massive, over a thousand rooms between the two properties, plus the front and back
gardens were begging for a makeover
| blasted the news all over the local papers and started hyping it up on every major website. A lot of people were
keeping a close eye on this project.
