Hearing her husband's words, Tracy's sobs quieted, her breathing still ragged as she glanced up at Millard, her
eyes swollen with tears. "Do you really think she'll agree?"
They both knew that after the falling out at Ashton Group's anniversary event,
Corrine's trust in them had shattered.
With everything that had happened, why would she simply drop the lawsuit? Especially after Bruce's betrayal
and now Rita's mess-Corrine wasn't the type to back down
easily.
"Whether she agrees or not, we have to try," Millard replied, his tone firm yet filled with quiet sincerity as his
eyes met Tracy's.

After years of sharing a life with her, how could he not understand her thoughts? He paused, his expression
softening as he added, "You need to cwith me. "I..." Tracy hesitated, ready to protest.
But Millard raised a hand, silencing her. "I know you have your reservations about Corrine, but this is bigger than
just your feelings. It's about the Ashton family, about Rita. Can you really sit back and let Rita go to jail?"
Tracy fell silent, her breath shaky as the weight of his words sank in.
Slowly, she closed her eyes, letting out a reluctant sigh before whispering, "Alright."
"Then I'll call Corrine." Millard gave her hand a gentle squeeze, his gesture a quiet
attempt to soothe her frayed nerves.
Corrine was taken aback when she received a call from Millard.
Farris had three sons, but none of them had particularly stood out-until Bruce had calong, using his wit and
cunning to carve a place for himself.
It was thanks to Tracy's foresight in keeping Bruce close to Farris that Millard had gained any semblance of status
within the family.
"Miss Holland, this is Bruce's father. | was wondering if you'd have stafter work," Millard began, his
voice smooth but with an underlying urgency. "I'd like to speak with you privately."
Although Millard wasn't someone who could shoulder great responsibilities, as a father, husband, and elder, his
reputation remained untarnished.
Corrine raised an eyebrow, her gaze cool and unimpressed. "Why not just say it over the phone?"
The Ashton family repulsed her to her core. She would do anything to avoid facing them
in person.
Millard hadn't expected Corrine's refusal to be so blunt, but he remained composed, refusing to let her
unyielding tone rattle him.
He glanced at Tracy on the sofa, his thoughts pausing for a brief moment before he spoke, his voice steady. "Rita
was indulged too much as a child, which made her headstrong and thoughtless. She's often been disrespectful
toward you, and as her parents, we failed in our duty to correct her. This caused the harm that she brought upon
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou, and for that, we sincerely apologize."
The sincerity in Millard's words nudged Corrine to listen just a bit longer.
"The main reason I'm calling," he continued, his voice unwavering, "is to ask if you would consider withdrawing
the lawsuit."
A sharp, frosty glint flickered in Corrine's eyes at his request, her lips curling into a cold, humorless smile.
"Withdraw the lawsuit? My tis far too valuable to waste on this little game."
Her voice was casual, but the venomous undertone left no doubt about her disdain.
Every syllable dripped with indifference, and Tracy could feel her temper flare. She opened her mouth to
respond, but Millard's sharp look silenced her instantly.
They were the ones asking for a favor, so they needed to swallow their pride, no matter
how bitter it tasted.
After a beat of silence, Millard leaned forward slightly, his tone resolute as he added, "Rita is in the wrong. If you
agree to withdraw the lawsuit, I'm willing to meet any conditions you set."
