Chapter 19 Once she made a scene , she had to be prepared to deal with the aftermath . Oliver's treatment plan had already been set . He no longer needed Tracie . " I'll give you one minute ." He said this dismissively , glancing at his watch . The words struck a chord with Tracie , reminding her of a conversation she'd once had with a female colleague . Her colleague had told her that her husband never argued with her , but also barely spoke to her , treating her like she didn't exist . That kind of indifference , that cold treatment that made her feel invisible , was more painful than any argument . At the time , Tracie had smiled bitterly . Wasn't her marriage just like that ? Grover had never used harsh words against her , but he also never truly looked at her . Chapter 19 It was as if even arguing with her would stain his dignity , so he simply ignored her . A perfect example of emotional neglect . One minute ? Fine . " Please tell the Stanton family not to contact me again ," Tracie said evenly . " They stopped calling you three days ago , " Grover replied flatly , without an ounce of compassion . nyvourku His tone was clear - he believed Tracie was using the Stanton family's calls as an excuse to approach him . Tracie's tone remained calm . " Eunice called me four times last night ." 1011 Grover's expression shifted slightly , an uncomfortable look crossing his face . He finally said , " I'll tell her not to call you again ." With that , he turned to leave . " Divorce … Tracie managed to say the word when his phone Chapter 19 rang . He pulled out his phone , answered the call , and kept walking , completely ignoring her . Even if Tracie remained composed , at that moment , she wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face . ' It is just a divorce ! ' Is it really that difficult ? ' I am not asking for a penny from him ! ' What exactly is he stalling for ? ' " Grover ! " Grover suddenly stopped , turned back with a frown , and glanced at her . " Come to my office in two weeks ." " Why two weeks ? " Tracie asked , confused . Without answering , Grover turned away again , continuing his conversation on the phone as he headed toward the car . Juliana was driving . As they passed Tracie , Juliana didn't even glance at her , her eyes focused straight ahead , as if Tracie wasn't even there . A sleek mini Cooper pulled up beside her . Chapter 19 The window rolled down , and Casey , with her sunglasses perched on her nose , smirked playfully . " Gold digger , you were pretty clever at the party today . Hope you land a billionaire soon and get rid of that poor vibe . That way , you won't need to eye Juliana's boyfriend anymore ." 4 With that , Casey drove off , leaving Tracie standing there , feeling the cold breeze cut through her , making her want to cry . But she refused to shed a single tear . She arrived home in the early morning . Before heading to the cocktail party , she had called Mandy to pick up Rico from school and stay with him at home . She thought they would both be asleep by the time she got back , but when she walked in , Mandy was sitting alone on the sofa , waiting for her . " Mandy , why aren't you asleep ? " Tracie asked softly . " Your grandmother kept calling you and couldn't get through , so she called me instead . She told you to bring your rich husband and the kids back to eat her soup , " Mandy replied . Tracie was speechless . " That old lady is something else ," Mandy sighed . Chapter 19 " Let's take Rico and you to Grandma's on Saturday ," Tracie said , her voice tinged with concern . Tracie didn't know how to tell her grandmother that , over the past six years , she had sacrificed her dignity in trying to fulfill the kind of wish her grandmother had - bringing her wealthy husband and children to visit , allowing her to show off in front of those she despised and get her revenge . She felt guilty for not being able to make her grandmother's dream come true . Chapter 20
