SWNOVELS Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Tracy Yost was agitated by her father’s unexpected intrusion. She lifted her comforter and grumbled resentfully, “Dad, I just fell asleep. What do you want?”
“What do I want? You dare to ask me what I want!” Sean Yost pointed his finger at Tracy angrily. “I’ve told you many times before, Missy. You can be mischievous and throw all the tantrums you want, but there should be a limit! Men will lose their patience if you go overboard!” he roared.
“Get up this minute and get the project back, even if you must beg William Hawk on your knees! A project worth over 40 million dollars went down the drain all because of you! I don’t want to hear any excuses from you. I told you before that Barron Hawk cannot measure up to his cousin, William. Make sure you marry William for your own sake. Otherwise, you’ll lose everything!”
Sean continued, “This is the price you paid for ignoring me; look where you are now! Why do you bother to hang out with that old lady all day long? She won’t be so secluded and devout if she could enlighten you in any way. Otherwise, she will be too busy ruling her country like Queen Isabella II!”
Sean had just finished breakfast and was about to go to work when Hawk Group called to inform him that the project had been given to Jenkins Group.
Suffice it to say, he was furious.
When Sean saw William hugging another woman last night, he questioned his daughter angrily.
Tracy told her father that William was mad at her and deliberately did it to spike her.
Sean took Tracy’s word for real and comforted her. He also urged her to make amends with William so that she could marry him as soon as possible.
Now that Sean lost the project unexpectedly, it could only mean one thing. William Hawk meant business.
Tracy did not speak or get up.
Sean was furious and started lecturing her again. “Why aren’t you getting up? Are you waiting for William to have a baby with another woman so you can congratulate him?”
Tracy was annoyed by her father’s relentless scolding. She hit her comforter hard as if she had gone crazy. “Argh! Stop nagging already! Is your 40–million–dollar project such a big deal? Huh? What’s the fuss?”
Frankly, 40 million dollars was nothing compared to becoming the Hawk family’s lady of the house.
“Your brat!” Sean raised his hand and was about to hit Tracy.
The latter stiffened her neck in protest. “Go ahead and hit me! Better still, kill me! I will be able to see Mom in the other world when I’m dead!”
“If you don’t get up and apologize to William now, then get out of the house for good! I mean what I say; I’ll cancel all your credit cards! Sean left the room in a fury.
Tracy grabbed the comforter tightly; her face darkened.
It changed from anger to grievance, then to indifference. Finally, there was a look of determination.
Tracy got up and told the servant to prepare some dessert. She did not have time for breakfast. Instead, she put on her makeup meticulously and took the desserts to Hawk Group.
Tracy had thought it through beforehand. If William sent someone to stop her, she would claim she was pregnant and force her way into his office.
In any case, it was no secret that they used to be an item.
Who would dare to stop her?
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Vanessa Sanchez received a call from her best friend, Charlotte Nicholson.
The latter sounded tired. “How have you been, Silly Doe? I went to bed early last night and just woke up. I didn’t see your call till now.”
“Stop calling me that! Why is your voice so hoarse? Do you have a cold?” Vanessa asked with concern.
Charlotte sighed. “No, I just woke up. By the way, how is your father?”
Charlotte worked as a car salesperson in Estain City. She took the high–speed rail to visit Henry Sanchez a month ago; he did not look good then. After that, she dared not ask Vanessa about her father, fearing she might upset her best friend.
Vanessa glanced at her father and said, “My father is much better now.”
Although she might not be able to do anything in the end, Vanessa was glad her father managed to hang on for the time.

being. The family treasured the time spent together, no matter how short.
She hoped that her father could hold on for a while longer. At least till her brother, Danny, could call him out loud.
“That’s good news. Are you available? I’d like to visit for a few days,” said Charlotte.
“Of course! No problem, Vanessa replied.
Vanessa would always make time for her best friend.
“All right, I’ll book a ticket later. I’ll be over soon and treat you to dinner.”
“I’ll treat you instead!” said Vanessa.
“No, let me treat you, Charlotte insisted.
She knew Vanessa had to pay for her father’s and brother’s treatments; her financial situation was not good.
Knowing that her best friend was stubborn, Charlotte took the initiative to lend Vanessa her savings. However, the latter refused and said she would let Charlotte know if she needed it later..
“Just come. I have something important to tell you,” said Vanessa.
She did not tell Charlotte about her marriage registration because it was done in a hurry. Vanessa planned to tell her in detail in person.
“All right, let’s chat the night away later. By the way, why did you call me last night?” Charlotte said.
“Do you remember Keen Darcy?” Vanessa asked.
“Of course! How could I not? Elena Jones snatched Keen Darcy away and dumped him subsequently. The poor fellow became depressed and jumped off a building. I saw them on the rooftop that night because it was crazy hot, and I was out for some air. I told you before that I recorded the incident and wanted to expose Elena. But you told me not to provoke her.” Charlotte was furious at the mention of Elena Jones. “That slut had hurt many people. Fortunately, those she snatched away were all trash. All fucking trash!”
“Do you still have that video?” Vanessa asked.
“Yes, I backed it up. I feared losing the original, so I backed up a few,” said Charlotte.
“Can you send me a copy?”
“Okay,” Charlotte nodded. She paused momentarily and said. “Listen to me, Silly Doc. Don’t go after the money that fell on shit. You’ll be disgusted and regret it.”
She thought Vanessa wanted to take Jackson Foster back.
“I’m not doing this for Jackson,” Vanessa said.
“Good to hear. I’ll send it to you right away.” Charlotte hung up.
Shortly after, Vanessa received a video in her mailbox.
She clicked on the video. It was fuzzy initially but became clear moments later. Elena Jones and Keen Darcy stood on the rooftop: the sound of wind and random noises were in the background.
They were students then. Although the two came from good backgrounds, they were dressed casually. /
Elena Jones wore a blue dress, tied her hair in a ponytail.
Keen Darcy wore an alphabet T–shirt.
He looked pained. “Can we reconcile, Elena? I’ll do what you want. I promise to treat you and the baby well.”
“What are you talking about? I’m only 22 years old; my life has just begun. I’ve already made an appointment with a doctor. to get an aborron tomorrow.” Elena said coldly. “Don’t tell anyone about what happened between us. Otherwise, I’ll report you to the school and accuse you of violating me!”
“Elena, how can you say such a thing?” Keen was distraught.
“What do you expect me to say then? Should I thank you for your ulterior motives and for making me pregnant?” Elena said sarcastically.
“I’m so sorry; I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll go with you for the abortion, Elena. Let’s reconcile, okay? I’ll take good care of you for the rest of my life.”
“Stop dreaming! Look how pathetic you are! You are not destined to be the ideal man in my life. Let’s break and don’t call me again.”
- up.
“Tove you, Elena. If you insist on breaking up, there’s no point for me to live. I’m begging you for the last time. Can we reconcile, please?”
“That’s impossible. I already found someone new.””
Keen’s feelings were deeply hurt, he climbed over the railing on the rooftop.
“Tll ask you one last time, Elena Let’s make up, okay?” he pleaded.
