Chapter 252 Apologize

"Apologize to Vivian and untie the knot in her heart,” Kathleen icily stated.Baffled, Tracy bit her lipand exclaimed, “Never!"That garnered a scoff from Kathleen, who then sardonically snapped,“Weren't you afraid that Finn would leave you? After all, many years have passed, and you stillhaven't gotten pregnant. Arent you worried that the Morris family won't want you aroundanymore?"Tracy pursed her lips.Kathleen's indifferent voice rang again as she continued, “I heardFinn's mother kept asking you to get pregnant. That way, Finn would have all the more reason toreturn to the Morris family and inherit the family business.”"As long as I apologize, you promiseyou'll help me get pregnant?” asked Tracy, whose intent gaze was fixated on Kathleen.A nod camefrom the latter.”Fine! I'll apologize,” Tracy said through gritted teeth.At that moment, Kathleen andSamuel exchanged looks, relieved that they had finally convinced Tracy.If she had refused, the twowould have taken extreme measures to have things go their way."Have someone deliver the originalcopies of the video and photos here now. I'll get my brother to send Vivian over,” Kathleeninstructed.Dissatisfaction shadowed all over Tracy's face, but there was little else she could do in thesituation.Hence, she ordered one of her subordinates to head back and collect the originalcopies.Kathleen phoned Charles. “Hey, Charles, bring Vivian over. Let's settle the matter

today." Okay.” Charles, who was on the other end of the line, nodded.With that, Kathleen hung upand looked over at Ryan. “Get us a bigger room.”“Got it!” Ryan nodded.”Let's go,” Kathleen saidwhile shooting Tracy an apathetic glance.The latter took two steps before pausing on the spot. Shethen looked over at Samuel to ask, “Can I ask you something, Mr. Macari?"“Go ahead,” replied animpatient Samuel.Once more, Tracy paused for a brief moment before asking, “Did you arrange forWendy to put on that show earlier?""Yeah,” Samuel candidly replied.That instantly baffledTracy.Never did she expect Samuel to admit it.Yet, he did.It seemed that the man was not evenworried about her seeking revenge on him.Kathleen had heard the two's exchange as well.Gosh!Samuel is really fearless, huh?Soon, they arrived at the largest banquet hall on the first floor.Therewere no activities or conventions for the day, so the banquet hall was empty.It did not take longbefore some men carried Caleb, who sat on a chair, into the hall.The entire situation dumbfoundedhim as he yelled, “Kathleen! Let me go!"In response, a look of indifference appeared on Kathleen'sface. “No. You're too reckless and can mess things up.”That was enough to render Calebspeechless.Nevertheless, he soon regained his senses and thundered, “Need I remind you that thismatter involves my sister?”“So what? Things will proceed smoothly even without your presence. Doyou seriously think you're that important?” Kathleen questioned.No response came from Caleb atthat point.He figured that he had pissed her off by shoving her earlier. However, it was notintentional, as he was not thinking straight at that time.”Um, about me shoving you aside earlier...You're not hurt, are you?” Caleb eventually asked with concern.”She’s fine.” Samuel's frosty glarepierced Caleb as he added, “If it happens again, I'll chop your hands off."Silence befell Caleb as hecautiously eyed Samuel. He knew he was indeed at fault for acting so brashly despite Kathleen'ssincere intentions.Just then, Tracy's subordinate returned with a bag in hand.Tracy glanced overbefore instructing, “Hand it to them!"Her subordinate approached Kathleen while speaking with theutmost respect. “Here are the items you requested, Mrs. Macari."Kathleen was at a loss for wordsupon hearing the formal title given to her.Cough! Cough!Samuel cleared his throat, clarifying, “I hadnothing to do with that."Enraged, Kathleen was quick to reply, “It's all because you keep showing upbeside me, and that causes a misunderstanding for everyone!““Yeah. It's my fault,” Samuelsoothed.Only a huff came from Kathleen as she felt Samuel did not realize hismistakes.Nevertheless, she accepted the bag containing many photos and the video stored on amemory card.She glanced at the photos but felt they were too jarring, so she quickly stuffed themback into the bag.”Have someone bring a metal bucket over,” ordered Kathleen.In that instance, sheseemed like the boss of the place as everyone obeyed her demands.However, Kathleen knew otherswere only complying with her for Samuel's sake.She felt deep down that she was merely playing outan act of being powerful.Ryan quickly ordered some of his staff to fetch a metal bucket.Not longpassed before Charles arrived at the scene with Vivian.That was Vivian's first time leaving themansion in three years.She wore a light yellow dress that reached her ankles and tied her hair with ared scarf from Belmonia. Pure innocence exuded from her presence.However, her skin was so paleunder the chandeliers’ sparkling lights that it almost looked translucent.Tracy could tell Vivian wasill.Yet, the former felt utterly displeased as the latter still appeared stunningly gorgeous despitebeing unwell. What right does she have to be so beautiful even when she’s clearly sick?Charlescontinued to hold Vivian's hand, providing her with comfort and support. “Everything's okay.Relax."Like always, a look of innocence flashed in Vivian's eyes as she asked, “Charles, why are wehere? Is it to attend an event?“Not a word came from Charles.”Oh, I know! You're taking me to aball, aren't you? Well, why didn't you say so? I would've worn my favorite leather heels. Um, wheredid I put them?” Vivian continued to speak with a naive and confused expression.”We're not here toattend a ball,” Charles grimly interjected."We're not?” Vivian's brows drew close.What are we doinghere then?“Charles,” Kathleen called out. With a cold expression, Charles swept his gaze pasteveryone at the scene.ls Finn not here?Meanwhile, Vivian noticed her brother and asked curiously,"What are you doing here, Caleb?""Vivian! Help untie me,” Caleb urged.Although Vivian tried toreach out, Charles nudged her away and said, “Don’t mind him."Vivian blinked in surprise beforeretorting, “But he’s my brother.”“My sister asked someone to tie him up,” Charles explained.Thatshocked Vivian, who exclaimed, “Gosh! I had no idea your sister was into that kind of thing."Anawkward silence filled the air as both Charles and Kathleen did not know how to react.Contrarily,Caleb narrowed his eyes while Samuel's expression darkened Kathleen adjusted her emotions andtook a deep breath before speaking. “Charles, could you step back? I'd like for us women to dealwith this matter ourselves.”Charles tensed up upon hearing that. However, Kathleen instantly lookedover and held Vivian's hand. The former said in a gentle tone, “Come with me."Vivian hesitated for amoment but eventually nodded.The two then arrived hand in hand before Tracy, whose arms werecrossed.However, Tracy instantly uncrossed her arms as soon as she noticed Kathleen glaring ather.D*mn it!“Who are you? Why do you look so familiar?” Vivian asked confusedly.She felt a senseof familiarity but could not quite pinpoint where or how she had met Tracy.“Do you have amnesia?”asked a frowning Tracy.Those words further confused Vivian, who questioned, “Yeah... Have I lost mymemories? Why can't I remember?”“Vivian, this woman's name is Tracy Smith. She caused you greatharm in the past, but she intends to apologize to you today,” Kathleen coldly stated.”Apologize?”Vivian's brows raised as she queried in perplexity, “Why does she want to apologize?”“Um... Vivian,do you remember...” Kathleen struggled to utter the words but eventually continued, “About thosepictures?“Pictures?Initially, Vivian blinked as though she felt lost about what was going on.Yet, herexpression suddenly contorted into one of hysteria in the next moment.”Pictures? T-Thosepictures!"The sudden turn of events made Charles uneasy as he hurriedly stepped forward tointervene. However, Samuel reached out and gripped his shoulder. “Calm down.”Samuel thoughtthey should have faith in Kathleen.Meanwhile, Kathleen held Vivian's hand while stating, “Finn didn'thire someone to take those pictures of you back then. It was her."Vivian stiffened then and

there. Her dumbfounded gaze remained on Tracy for a long while.”She knows what she did waswrong now and wants to apologize to you,” Kathleen explained.
