NovelEnglishChapter 601: Debby took a gentle step forward and clasped Tracy's hand. "Tracy, I've always cared for you. I know Brian loves you deeply-he's carried feelings for you all these years, and I've dreamed of you two being together. But..." Debby's voice wavered and tears sprang to her cheeks. She blinked them away, gathering herself. “Carol is very ill, and right now everyone is focused on granting her final wish. I'm truly sorry, Tracy. I did everything I could, but in this life it seems you and Brian aren't meant to be." Tracy's jaw clenched, bitterness rising in her chest. Why was fate so cruel? After all she'd done, she was still losing to Rachel. She had fought so hard for Debby's approval and thought she'd finally secured her place-only to have it swept away by an old woman's dying wish. She refused to accept it.

I know this isn't easy for you, of course Carol's wish must be honored-she shouldn't leave this world with regrets. But I have a plan. It will make Carol happy, and I don't have to lose Brian." Debby's curiosity ignited. "Oh? What's your plan? Tell me." and Lowering her voice, Tracy leaned in and whispered her schinto Debby's ear. As Debby listened, a slow smile spread across her face. When Tracy finally stepped back, Debby nodded, her expression pleased.
"That's a brilliant idea," she said.
Debby looked at Rachel, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Rachel, you and Brian have already gone your separate ways. There's no need to hold on to something that's over. Tracy had a good idea. You and Brian can arrange a fake marriage and show Carol a forged certificate. It'll put her at ease without getting in the way of Brian and Tracy's relationship."

Rachel didn't answer immediately. Instead, she asked, "What about the wedding? Carol would want to see a proper ceremony to feel at peace." Debby hesitated. "Since the certificate wouldn't be real, the wedding would just be for show. It wouldn't mean anything." Rachel adopted a thoughtful expression, as if weighing the idea. Debby stepped closer, gently tugging Rachel's sleeve. "Can we talk for a moment?" Outside, they dropped pretenses and got straight to the point.

On top of that, I'll give you two million dollars to secure your future." Two million dollars? That was nothing to the White family—a mere drop in the ocean. Debby clearly believed she was bestowing a great favor, assuming two million would bind Rachel's loyalty forever.
"Two million? That's barely enough to well yet you buy a decent piece of jewelry yet you think it's enough to sway me? Don't you think that's a little cheap?” Rachel buhit replied.
Debby scoffed. "Rachel, who do you think you are? You're just an orphan, ΟΜ an ordinary worker. Two million is a fortune for someone like you. Do you have any idea how long it would take you to earn that?"
"Probably a long time," Rachel admitted casually. Then, with a smirk, she added, "But I'm not interested in your two million. If I married your son, even two billion wouldn't be out of reach. So why would I settle for less?"
