Although Tracy had been living with the Sue family for years, their estate was massive. She stayed in one of the guest vis on the grounds. Technically, they lived in the same ce, but even seeing each other required walking over a kilometer.

To Christian, Tracy had always been more of a guest than family.

Zayden, watching Tracy’s awkward exchange just now, acted like he didn’t notice.

After all, the inheritance she got from the Tames family was no small sum.

He’d always had his eyes on that money–and the Tames family’s connections.

The rest didn’t matter to him.

Outside Crown Hotel-

A luxury car pulled up, drawing everyone’s attention.

All eyes turned toward it as Henry stepped out.

He was tall–six feet, with a lean, straight figure, and strikingly handsome features.

The moment he got out of the car, he was immediately noticed by a group of foreign socialites.

The Foster family had seen a meteoric rise recently thanks to the flu outbreak, which sent their worth soaring.

In less than a year, their fortune had tripled.

During the crisis, the Foster family patriarch officially handed over control of the family’s pharmaceutical empire to Henry.

Though still young, Henry now ran the entire Foster pharmaceutical group.

He was the rising star of the industry.

“Mr. Henry.”

Tracy stepped outside and walked up to him with an extended hand. “I’m Tracy. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Ms. Tracy,” Henry responded, giving her a polite handshake. His expression remained distant, showing little interest.

Tracy pulled Zayden closer and said, “I heard you went to the same school. Zayden mentions you often.”

“Is that so?” Henry raised an eyebrow.

Zayden didn’t mind being used by Tracy in this way. He simply stood obediently by her side, ying the role she assigned him.

“Mr. Henry, let me take you inside. Christian is busy entertaining guests and might not make it over here, so I’ll show you in on his behalf.“/

Tracy was dressed in a pale pink gown. Born into a wealthy family, she had always carried herself with

elegance. She was still young, but had already be a well–known name among international socialites.

There wasn’t a soul abroad who didn’t know her name.

“No need. I can manage on my own.”

Henry was only here because he’d been invited.

Tracy, seeing his indifference, had no choice but to let it go. Still, she had to maintain appearances and assert her ce within the Sue family. So she called over a staff member to escort him inside.

“Someonee help Mr. Henry inside–and make sure he’s well taken care of.”

“Yes, Ms. Tracy.”

The security staff quickly stepped forward to lead Henry in.

“You didn’t have to go through all that trouble,” Zayden said quietly.

After all, Tracy wasn’t actually part of the Sue family. Tonight was their show–everything should’ve been. handled by them.

“I want everyone to see that I’ve been the one honoring the Sue family all these years. Eliza is nothing.”

That remarknded right in Halbert’s ears.

Hearing it, a faint smirk yed on his lips.

“Tracy.”

Halbert approached her of his own ord.

The moment Tracy saw him, her face lit up with a sweet smile. “Halbert.”

“What are you doing out here alone? Go inside and rest. Let someone else take care of this.”

“How could I? I grew up in the Sue family. I can’t have people thinking we were raised without manners.”

She said “the Sue family” again and again,pletely identifying herself as one of them.

Halbert didn’t like her, but when he thought about using her against Eliza, he smiled anyway. “Our Tracy is so well–behaved. You really are the perfect little sister.”

That “little sister” made Tracy blush.

Bing the Sue family’s heiress was a dream for many.

And it had always been hers.

“Oh, by the way, Eliza hasn’t arrived yet. Wait out here and greet her for me. Tristan gave strict instructions -she’s back, and we’re supposed to celebrate.”

Halbert’s words made Tracy freeze.

Satisfied with her reaction, Halbert patted her shoulder before walking away.

Once he was gone, Tracy gritted her teeth. “It’s Eliza again.”

She had finally gotten a few more chances to see the Sue brotherstely, but all they ever talked about was Eliza.

“What’s so great about her, anyway?”

She’d met Eliza once.

There was nothing special about her. Tracy really couldn’t understand what the Sue brothers saw in her.

Inside the Sue family estate-

Eliza was already dressed and ready.

She wore ake–blue gown that stood out even in a crowd. Whether by coincidence or Tristan’s request, the dress was adorned with tiny crystals, and the hem shimmered like a river of stars.
