Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 507:

Brian’s confirmation hit Tracy like a gut punch. Her hand flew to her chest, her nails digging into her palm as her teeth sank into her bottom lip. Why was it always like this? She had been certain that Carol despised Rachel and would use this scandal to break off their engagement. But instead, Carol still stood firmly by Rachel’s side—after everything!

Tracy’s vision blurred with rage, her pulse hammering in her ears. “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

Brian’s cold voice snapped her from her daze.

Panicked, she quickly said, “Y-Yeah! Take care of yourself and don’t overwork, alright?”

The moment the call ended, she hurled her phone onto the bed, her chest heaving with rage. “Rachel! Why? Why do you always get everything handed to you on a silver platter?”

Her hands clenched into fists, knuckles turning white from the pressure. Hatred blazed in her wide, glaring eyes. Why did it always have to be Rachel? Why couldn’t it be her for once?
