Chapter 17 So , when Tyron saw Tracie , his gaze was filled with undisguised hostility and disgust . If Grover's indifference to Tracie meant leaving her to handle things on her own , Tyron's attitude was much more aggressive . He despised her , seeing her as a toxic , festering wound on Juliana . In his mind , she was nothing but a nuisance , and he'd be happy to see her crushed underfoot . But of course , in such a public setting , Tyron held himself back- he wasn't about to make a scene . The young woman next to him seemed vaguely familiar to Tracie , but she couldn't place her .

How could you have forgotten all that ? " It clicked . Chapter 17 That sapphire necklace was a wedding gift from her grandmother , who had given it to her when she married Grover . Her grandmother had said it was valuable , but Tracie hadn't thought much of it . She just considered it a meaningful gift from her grandmother , so she kept it safe , even though she didn't wear it much . It had always been stored in her makeup box .
