Chapter 863 -863: The higher one climbs, the harder one falls

At this moment, a young man and woman stood in the corner of the banquet hall. Others didn’t know who they were, but the Swift family was well aware. Tracy Swift’s smile gradually disappeared, but she quickly resumed her gentle smile when facing the camera.

“Back then, my cousin and cousin-in-law left the house on a whim and didn’t want to come back to the Swifts for so many years. Now, they probably still think highly of the Swift family, so they want to come back. Mom, I have to go on stage later, so please tell grandfather not to get angry. After all, my cousin is a descendant of the Swift family.”

After hearing Tracy’s words, it seemed that everyone understood something. It turned out that these two were the children of the late Troy Swift and his wife.

After Troy Swift and his wife died, the siblings didn’t feel any grief and even fought with the Swift family over property. They eventually left the family, and Sir Swift announced a complete break from these siblings.

It was rumored that Sir Swift had always loved these two grandchildren and hoped for their return. Unfortunately, they were quite heartless, as they never came home to see their fatally ill grandfather.

Now they have heard that Tracy won the gold award at the Star Music Festival and come here brazenly. It seems they want to compete with Tracy for the heir’s position.

...

How shameless!

As Tracy watched the disdainful expressions of the people around her, she felt smug. After so many years, her cousins were still so foolish as to return to the Swift family territory. They didn’t even fear being drowned in spit!

Tracy shook her head helplessly and said gently, “Please don’t blame my cousins. They are the bloodline of the Swift family. Although they made mistakes when they were young and naive, as long as they are willing to return, we will welcome them.”

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh, “These are all the descendants of the Swift family, but why is there such a big gap between the children of the eldest son and Tracy Swift?”

“These siblings are really heartless! They didn’t even care about the death of their parents. They only cared about the funeral of Troy Swift and his wife because Wright Swift took care of it with Tracy.”

“Unfilial children! How dare they come back!”

Tracy tried to stop everyone’s accusations, but the more she explained, the angrier they became.

Mrs. Swift lovingly touched Tracy’s forehead, “You’re too kind-hearted, always thinking of others. Don’t worry about your cousins’ affairs; just focus on the award ceremony!”

After that, Mrs. Swift looked at the siblings with an icy gleam in her eyes, whispering, “Heartless creatures, still fancying themselves competing with Tracy for the heir’s position. They’re utterly delusional!”

Everyone’s gazes at the siblings were full of contempt and disdain, which infuriated Maria to the point where she was about to step forward to confront them, but Meredith stopped her.

“Maria, don’t be impulsive. The higher they climb, the harder they’ll fall. No matter how brilliant Tracy is now, she’ll be in pain later. Black Tide will arrive soon.”

Maria suppressed her anger and sat down with Meredith in a secluded place. They already had evidence of the Swift family’s crimes in their hands. Maria could hardly control her emotions and choked, “When it’s them who did wrong, how can they accuse us?”

Meredith’s eyes were cold, and his fists clenched.

Why should they? Their parents simply didn’t want to be part of the Swift family or engage in human trafficking, and they were killed by the Swifts.

After their parents’ death, they were kicked out of the house, became homeless, and had to endure the name of unfilial. Now, when they raised the issue of their parents, not a single person from the Swift family showed any remorse.

For seven years, the Swifts had gotten everything they wanted, but they still secretly engaged in such heartless transactions. Weren’t they afraid that when the truth was revealed, the Swift family would be ruined overnight?

Meredith took a deep breath, gradually calming down. He held his sister’s hand tightly and whispered comfortingly, “Don’t worry, they will definitely pay for their actions.”

Maria gritted her teeth and glared at Tracy and the others, rage burning in her heart.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a message from Black Tide. She smiled, seemingly anticipating someone’s message more than ever before.

[I’ll be arriving soon, but there’s one more thing I need your help with.]

Maria looked up at Meredith, “Brother, Black Tide says there are still some kidnapped women whose whereabouts are unknown. He wants us to join forces with the dark web and Star to find them.”
