Tracie went to the bank to exchange currency. She had a business visa and needed to prepare her money ahead of time since her trip was just a week long and her schedule was tight.
Before entering the bank, she ran into Tyron.
Tyron was chatting and laughing with someone as they walked in. When he saw Tracie, his smile instantly faded, turning into a cold scowl.
He turned to the person he was with. “Go ahead, I need to handle some personal business.”
The person entered the bank, and Tyron walked toward Tracie, his presence intimidating. “Listen, Tracie,” he began aggressively, “I didn’t warn you yesterday because of the crowd, but it’s not too late now. Stay away from Juliana and her boyfriend. Don’t harass them, or else…”
“On what grounds do you think you can order me around?” Tracie’s tone was calm and steady.
“I don’t need any grounds,” Tyron shot back. “I’m going to bully you, crush you, until you’re on your knees in front of Juliana, apologizing, and then just disappear. I don’t want you anywhere near her, your stink might rub off on her. What are you going to do about it?” His words were harsh and direct.
It was clear he thought he could get away with this because he perceived her as weak.
“You must have brushed your teeth this morning,” Tracie said suddenly.
“What?” Tyron was caught off guard.
“You must have brushed your teeth, or else your breath would be worse. But with that foul stench you’ve got, it’s like you’ve been eating shit. How is it that Princess Juliana hasn’t been completely poisoned by you yet?” Tracie said cool- ly, then turned and walked into the bank.
Did she fear Tyron?
Of course, she was afraid. Anyone in her position would be.
But Tracie knew that being afraid wouldn’t change a thing.
She might as well confront him head-on.
If Tyron dared to threaten her, she’d make sure to take him down with her, leaving nothing behind but a bloody mess if necessary.
Before entering, Tracie glanced back at Tyron, who was frozen in place.

For once, it was him who was taken aback.
He had always been the one to bully her, but now, she was standing up to him.

Still stunned, he saw her turn back and glare at him, and the venom in her eyes was unmistakable. It was like she was a vengeful ghost determined to destroy him.
‘She wasn’t the one always trying to worm her way into the high society, always acting like a dog licking up to people like me. How dare she hate me with such intensity?’
Tyron shuddered.
Tracie had already gone inside.
After exchanging the currency, she bought her flight tickets and took care of a few other last-minute things for her trip abroad.
Before she knew it, it was Saturday.
At 9 AM, Tracie woke up Mandy and Rico, both still lounging in bed.
After they finished getting ready and having breakfast, Tracie drove to a small village in the suburbs of Truatol. Decades ago, it had been a large village mostly populated by the Everett family.
Now, many of the younger people had moved to the city, and only a few elderly people remained.
The area was peaceful with beautiful scenery, but it felt quite deserted.
Tracie had tried many times to convince her grandmother to move to the city. With her own financial means, she could easily buy her grandmother a second-hand apartment, but her grandmother always refused.
She preferred the calm and convenience of living in the mountains.
As Tracie drove into the village, she saw her grandmother standing by the entrance, eagerly waiting for her.
Before the car even stopped, her grandmother was already jogging toward her. As soon as Tracie got out of the car, her grandmother asked, “Where’s my son-in-law? And my great-granddaughter?”
