Chapter 72
Tracy kept calling William.
Chapter 72
After five or six calls, William picked up the phone and said indifferently, “I’m about to take a shower and get ready for bed. What is it?”
“William, aren’t you going too far?” Tracy’s voice sounded.
Vanessa could hear Tracy as William had turned on his speaker.
William’s voice was still midiflerent, “What are you referring to?”
“Don’t play dumb. I know. You’re the one who hacked Delight Media’s live streams, right? This is the gift you said you would give me tonight, right? Tracy was so angry, she interrogated William.
“Yes.” William had no intention of denying it.
“You!” Tracy was furious, and her breathing quickened.
William said sarcastically, “Are you very angry?”
Tracy was driven mad by William’s cold tone. “William, does it have to be this way? We were once lovers and so close to each other. We…
William interrupted coldly, “You said it yourself. Everything is in the past!”
Tracy’s voice suddenly became shrill. “It was just last month, William. We broke up only a month ago. We’ve been in love for six years and gave each other our youth, but now, you’re treating me like this. Not only did you marry another woman, but you also attacked the Yost family,” she sobbed.
Tracy truly felt wronged and started crying over the phone.
William frowned slightly, but his voice was still indifferent. “Aren’t you the one who wanted to leave? Aren’t you the one who stole my base price? Why are you crying now?”
“I just went abroad for a competition. I never wanted to break up with you.”
“Tracy, you were the one who chose to go abroad. You knew what your decision meant. It was a decision between breaking up and staying. Just because I was there for you when I loved you doesn’t mean I’ll always be there for you. Just because I didn’t attack Yost Group after breaking up doesn’t mean you can cross my bottom line again and again.”
“What the hell do you want?” Tracy shouted over the phone.
“I should be the one asking you this. Weren’t you the one who stole my documents and my base price? I’m just returning the favor. Tracy, an adult has to bear the consequences of the decisions they make,” William said and hung up.
Tracy called again, but he didn’t even bother to answer.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and Vanessa’s hand with the other.
Vanessa held William’s hand as well.
She understood this feeling.
It was the same feeling she had when she saw Jackson. Even though she knew that they had broken up, she still couldn’t help but feel pain.
At the Yost residence, Sean poked Tracy’s forehead and scolded, “Why did you provoke William again? Huh? You’re simply stupid. Now that you’re with Barron, how can you turn back?”
Tracy’s eyes were red from crying. She was angry and aggrieved. “From the moment he registered his marriage with Vanessa Sanchez, that bitch, there was no way I was going to get him back. If I don’t get together with Barron, it means I have to watch him be the Hawk family’s successor.”
Sean was also full of anger. “Just because you’re with Barron, you think you can stop William from becoming Hawk Group’s successor? Not only will you fail, but you’ll also implicate the Yost family.”
The more Sean thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he kicked a chair. He used so much strength that the wooden chair made a creaking sound as it scraped against the floor.
Tracy was so frightened that her entire body trembled.
Sean raised his voice. “All the live streams under Delight Media have been hacked. Do you know how much we’ve lost? The
lion dollars.” combined turnover of all our live streams in one night is more than 16
Tracy bit her lower lip and argued, “Yes, the turnover for one night is more than 16 million dollars, but Barron caused William to lose a contract worth more than 60 million dollars. The contract itself doesn’t mean much, but William’s mistake does. Because William made a mistake, Barron’s chances of winning increased. If he has the same influence and ability as
William who do you think Mr Arthur will choose as the heir?”
Chapter 72
Sean fell silent and looked at Tracy.
Tracy continued, “William is from the second branch of the family while Barron is from the main branch. William’s dad passed away, but Barron’s dad is still alive. William’s mom has always been pampered. She doesn’t care about family or company matters. Meanwhile, Barron’s mom is the matriarch of the Hawk family. She takes care of all the big and small matters of the family.”
“William has also recently taken on a few large–scale projects, so he is more popular in Hawk Group for now. If Barron takes on a few more projects like William. his popularity will also increase.”
Sean’s brow furrowed, and the creases on his forehead were deep. He said, “Don’t forget that William is now acting president. He can make decisions for Hawk Group.”
Tracy narrowed her eyes and analyzed. “That’s because before William’s father passed away, William was always learning by his side. Therefore, Mr. Arthur naturally handed over the position of acting president to him.”
Sean was convinced by Tracy. His frown deepened. “You mean. Barron also has a chance?”
“Not only does he have a chance, but he has a very good chance.” Tracy said.
After interacting with Barron for the past few days, she realized that Barron was smart and he had his own methods of dealing with things.
From the psychological perspective, it was indeed easier for sinister, vicious, and smooth–talking people to succeed.
People like William were upright and not good at scheming. He was indeed not as popular as Barron.
Sean was silent again as he watched Tracy closely. “How do you know that he has a high chance? Although his father is still alive, he was dismissed because of malfeasance. This is a stain that cannot be removed.”
“It’s Xavier’s stain, not Barron’s. Also, what if William also has a stain? Who do you think Mr. Arthur will choose as the heir in the end? Who doesn’t play tricks behind the scenes in fights, especially wealthy families?” Tracy sneered.
Sean rubbed his chin. “What you said makes sense. This is a gamble. If we win, the Yost family will rise. If we lose, we will lose everything. The risk is very high.”
“Even investing is risky, let alone such a big thing. Tracy raised her chin slightly and said, “Besides, who knows if William’s father deliberately caused Xavier’s malfeasance back then?”
Sean slapped his thigh all of a sudden. “That’s a good idea!”
Tracy looked at Sean in confusion.
Sean was no longer as depressed as before. Now, his brows were completely relaxed. He said, “Since Wallace is already dead, we can pin any blame on him. As long as Xavier proves that he was wrongly accused by Wallace of his dereliction of duty back then, he can take over again. Once the main branch takes over, William will lose everything.”
Tracy’s eyes lit up. “Yes. In short, as long as we work hard together, the main branch of the Hawk family will definitely be able to make a comeback.”
Sean frowned again. “What if Mr. Arthur has already decided that William will be the heir?”
Tracy said, “Dad, let’s not hesitate anymore. Back then, it was because of my hesitation that I missed an opportunity. Now that I’ve chosen a difficult path, we have to walk this path well. We already have the cards in our hands. How we play is up to
us.”
“Okay. Invite Barron out for a meal tomorrow,” Sean said.
Tracy said, “Dad, I think the day after tomorrow is better. There’s a family banquet at the Hawk residence tomorrow and I’m going.”
