The Unwanted Daughter: When Love Comes Too Late Chapter 329: Angelic Etiquette Academy Under Siege

This was probably more humiliating than a knife to the stomach.

It hurt more and cut him more deeply. Just as they expected, Preston seemed to vanish from Cloudville afterward. He never showed his face again, let alone caused any trouble for Tracy.

Since so many people were watching, the real story eventually surfaced.

It turned out that the man's wife was obsessed with stalking celebrities.

She didn't chase after just one star. She pursued every attractive male celebrity she could find.

Lately, Preston had been showing up in public more to draw out Tracy. The man's wife happened to spot him during one of these appearances.

Preston's face was honestly better-looking than a lot of male celebrities. Naturally, she fell for him.

If it were just a fangirl dreaming, things wouldn't have escalated like this.

But Preston had mentioned his ideal partner in public. She had to be pretty, good at painting, gentle in personality, resilient even through hardships, and he wouldn't care about her background.

He'd described it based on Tracy, but the man's wife took it personally.

She happened to be a children's art teacher. She'd grown up in a family with strong gender bias and had endured years of mistreatment. As an adult, she married a deadbeat who couldn't provide for her. But she stayed strong through it all.

She thought Preston's standards were tailor-made for her!

Because of that, she insisted on divorcing her husband to chase her own happiness.

The buzz that had been fading suddenly exploded again with this shocking revelation.

Everyone felt sorry for what happened to Preston. But the parody videos made just for him kept coming.

The buzz lasted a full month before the discussion about Preston finally died down.

For people who loved drama, it was just something to chat about and move on.

But for the Wests of Jezelton, their future heir making such a fool of himself, even if undeserved, was unforgivable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ronald secretly pulled some strings against the Wests.

While Ronald was busy setting traps for Preston, Tracy wasn't just sitting around.

Yarwood Enterprise had gotten back on track. She had the power, so her main focus was helping her friends fulfill their last wishes.

Under her arrangement, Ivy had gotten close to Shawn and earned his trust.

In a law-abiding society, Ivy wouldn't kill him and pay with her life. She knew Tracy wouldn't allow that anyway.

She just wanted Shawn to experience what it was like to be betrayed and used!

Shawn wasn't the only son among the Sanders. He had a sister who was two or three years younger, plus seven or eight half-brothers from his father's affairs.

Ivy managed to strike a deal with Shawn's sister.

The Sanders showed a clear preference for male heirs. They believed only men could inherit the business.

But when real power was involved, those old-fashioned ideas became irrelevant.

Tracy didn't interfere with Ivy's plans. But she arranged things behind the scenes to keep her safe and help out.

While Tracy was busy, Ronald wasn't idle either.

He'd sworn to destroy the Angelic Etiquette Academy. He needed to find a weak spot first to strike.

His target was Norris, who was already in the psychiatric hospital.

Whether this choice was purely strategic or personal was something only Ronald knew.

Even though Norris was mentally unstable, he'd once been a guest at the Angelic Etiquette Academy.

To keep guests from spilling secrets, the academy always gathered compromising information first before letting them in fully.

But Norris was mentally ill now.

Who could trust someone in his condition to keep secrets?

So that night, rumors about the Angelic Etiquette Academy started spreading.

Normally, the ramblings of a psychiatric patient wouldn't get much attention. But somehow, the information reached the police. It tied into some missing persons and human trafficking cases.

So the Angelic Etiquette Academy appeared on their radar.

The academy had been doing shady stuff for years. They'd dealt with law enforcement many times and knew how to handle investigations.

But this time, their usual tricks didn't work.

To avoid bothering Tracy, Ronald hadn't mentioned his plans, so she had no idea.

Until someone from the Angelic Etiquette Academy showed up at her door. That's when she discovered Ronald had begun his attack using Norris.

It wasn't time to go all out yet. So Tracy went to meet that "teacher."

The man apparently thought she was still the same pushover from before. He jumped right in with questions. "You promised to keep the secrets between us. Who did you tell?"
