Chapter 266
Brandon had just returned to Philadelphia when Seth reported to him that Addyson had died half an hour ago.
Brandon rushed to the Gilbertâs house in time.
At this time, this place was in a desolate state.
Tracy was dressed in white mourning apparel. She knelt on both knees, her face as pale as her clothes.
Even if his wife died, Jimmy did not show up. It could be seen that he was extremely selfish.
There were very few people who came to offer condolences to the Gilbert family, which had lost its influence.
Tracy burned the joss paper and lowered her eyes. From time to time, a few tears fell from her eyes.
Whether she was sincere or not was only known by herself.
Brandonâs arrival made Tracy feel like she was a drowning person who grasped at straws.
New hope appeared in the despair.
She threw herself at Brandon, her voice hoarse. âBrandon.â
Her tears fell.
Brandon was afraid that the paparazzi would secretly take photos of them. If so, the relationship between him and Savanna would be worse. Therefore, he reached out and grabbed Tracyâs arm. He held her tottering body and helped her sit down on the chair.
Seeing that Brandon didnât push her away, Tracy felt as if she had come back from a dead end. She held Brandonâs hand and said in a sorrowful voice, âBrandon, my mother is dead. From now on, I have no one to rely on.â
She really wanted to hear the man say that it didnât matter. From now on, he will be her backing.
However, the words that came out of the manâs mouth were like knives that stabbed the heart.
âTracy, although you and she are mother and daughter, you do not have any affection for each other.
What you care about is the background of the Gilbert family, which can provide you with some benefits.â
Tracy was stunned. She did not expect Brandon to say these words. The way he looked at her was like a sharp blade that could completely see through her.
âBrandon, how can you say that to me?â
âAlthough she has never raised me, I was born by her. The Gilbert family is gone, and my mother is gone. My only father, in order to escape the debt, has disappeared without a trace. I.â
Tracyâs voice choked up, so sad that she could not utter a complete sentence.
Brandon said in a cold voice, âThat cowardly father of yours, Iâm afraid he wonât take care of you in the future. Tracy, you owe so many lives to others. You should have gone to hell long ago.â
Sensing that something was wrong with his words, Tracy narrowed her eyes and asked, âBrandon, what do you mean? Donât tell me that you donât care about the relationship between us!â
Brandon looked at her with a stern gaze and a cold expression. By the time Tracy realized that something was wrong, a few figures had already entered the mourning hall. The man in the lead showed her his work permit. âWe are policemen.â
âChloe, youâre Tracy who has done the cosmetic surgery.â
The video included the car accident, the scene of Jimmy saving her when she passed by, as well as the fact that she was brought back to Philadelphia by Jimny on a special plane. Then Jimmy immediately invited medical experts to diagnose her and reorganize her body parts, and also did plastic surgery for her, making her look like Chloe.
A series of evidence was exposed, and Tracy was completely unable to resist.
Her mind was blank and her legs were trembling. Her lips were unnaturally blue and purple.
Click!
As the crisp sound fell, Tracyâs felt cold on her wrist.
Tracy lowered her eyes and stared at the handcuffs on her white wrists.
Her eyes widened and her lips trembled. âYou ⦠this is a fake video.â
The police officerâs âbring awayâ made Tracy wake up. She finally reacted, and then she began to shout crazily, âYou guys are mistaken. I am Chloe. I have nothing to do with Tracy. I have nothing to do with her!â
âBrandonâ¦â
At this moment, she could only place her hopes on Brandon.
Tracy broke free from the policeâs grip and rushed toward Brandon. She shouted at him, âHow can you do this to me?
Tears streamed down her face as she hysterically complained, âFor that bitch, you are willing to treat me like this. I love you, which is not wrong. You put me to death for that bitch. Brandon, I hate you, I hate you.â
The hatred in Tracyâs eyes and the hatred in her mouth finally made Brandon feel pain.
He raised his hand and brushed the hair on her temples behind her ear. He said faintly. âI have always treated you as my sister.â
Tracy roared madly, âI donât want to be your sister. I want to be your wife, your wise, and I want to give birth to your children.â
As she was shouting, Tracy pointed at the group of policemen and seemed to go crazy. âAs long as you canât kill me, I will kill you in the future. 1, Chloe, swear.â
Brandon watched her go crazy and did not say a word.
It was because he had already realized that Tracy had inherited Addysonâs genes. Tracy was simply a madman. Otherwise, she would not have done so many crazy things and not realized that she was wrong One policeman was afraid that she would go crazy and cause trouble. He walked over, grabbed her hands, and put them in the back. However, she did not seem to be convinced. She tried hard to hold her head high. When she was escorted out of the mourning hall, Tracy looked at Brandon with resentment and hatred, but more of pain and anger.
She silently complained about Brandonâs cruelty and coldness towards her.
In the evening Lorena sat in the heart-nourishing room, holding her breath, and twirling the beads. After a long time, she said to Brandon, who had been waiting for a long time, âAddyson is dead, Chloe was put in prison, and Jimmy disappeared without a trace. All these were done by you.â
There was no joy or anger in Lorenaâs voice.
Slowly, she opened her eyes, which were clear and bright.
âIn order to bring glory to our family, I have done many immoral things. Now, your hands are also stained with blood. Shelton, we are not clean anymore.â
Brandon pursed his lips and remained silent.
âFor the sake of Savanna, you are crazy.â
Even though the Gilbert family was already in the possession of the Young family, Lorena still held a grudge against her grandson for disobeying her wishes.
Seeing that Brandon still did not speak, Lorena narrowed her slender eyes with a dangerous glint in her eyes, âAlthough you have expanded your territory for the Young family, it is not necessarily a good thing for you to be so crazy for a woman. I have always hoped that you would not follow your grandfatherâs path, but you still did not listen.â
âWhat do you want?â
Brandonâs words were carried with coldness.
âWhat can I do?â
Lorena smiled instead of getting angry. âYou are now the head of the Young family. I, the former head of the Young family, have already lost the position of leadership. What can I do to you?â
Brandon said coldly, âIt would be best if thatâs the case. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll go handle the company business first.â
Lorena did not speak and Brandon left.
Lorena stared at the door that Brandon had left with a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes. She raised her finger and used a gentle force. The string of beads broke and the black and round beads fell to the ground.
My grandson, you are always stubborn.
Women are always a source of trouble. If you are not careful, the loss is just around the corner.
