Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 869: Chapter 869: She Has Her Difficulties

Tracy Swift shook her head wildly, her originally neat hair becoming disheveled. Her throat choked, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.

Why would Xaviera Evans be so kind-hearted? She didn’t expose Tracy at the beginning, it wasn’t to save Tracy’s face but to watch her struggle in despair and finally be disliked by everyone.

Today was supposed to be the most important moment of her life; she had made it to the Star Music Festival’s award podium. She was going to become the most talented noble lady in the upper class, the goddess of everyone’s dreams, but now, everything has been destroyed by Xaviera Evans.

Many of those attending the award ceremony were noblewomen and daughters from upper-class families. Mrs. Swift invited them to show off how outstanding her daughter was and to make those who once looked down on her feel envious.

At this moment, those noblewomen and daughters looked at Mrs. Swift with full-blown mockery on their faces, not holding back their laughter. “Miss Swift is the first noble lady of the Imperial City, how could she impersonate Rita? Could it be that her previous achievements were also bought with money?”

“I’m dying of laughter! So the title of the first noble lady of the Imperial City can be bought, huh? Then I’ll buy one for our daughter too! Miss Swift has been known as a talented woman since she was a child. I’m afraid that reputation was also spread by the Swift family spending money!”

Tracy, no longer caring about her appearance, had tear-streaked cheeks, and charged wildly towards Xaviera Evans, shouting loudly, “Xaviera Evans! Why do you expose me in public?”

Xaviera dodged Tracy’s attack with agility and responded with a sneer, “If Miss Swift hadn’t done anything wrong, why is she afraid of being exposed?”

Tracy’s mind was in chaos, her body becoming sluggish. She stumbled and collided with the corner of a table, gritting her teeth in pain. She yelled, “You framed me! Get Xaviera Evans, this madwoman, out of here! Don’t interrupt the award ceremony!”

The once well-mannered lady now had a hideous expression, screaming without a care, “I used Rita’s music for the competition for a reason! You guys don’t understand!”

“Oh? So Miss Swift has a justifiable reason?” Xaviera asked with a smile on her face.

Tracy slumped in her chair, looking completely disheveled, without a trace of her noble lady image. She didn’t know how to answer Xaviera’s question, but everyone’s eyes were fixed on her. If she didn’t give a perfect explanation, she would be done for.

Seeing that Tracy was not responding, Xaviera turned her attention to Tracy’s mother. At this moment, Mrs. Swift’s eyes were burning red, her fiery gaze locked on Xaviera Evans, her nails digging into her palms.

Tracy was the first noble lady of the Imperial City, the future family head of the Swift family, and her hope. She would not let Tracy’s future be ruined, she had to protect Tracy’s reputation, no matter what method she had to use.

Mrs. Swift racked her brain for an idea, then suddenly had an epiphany and excitedly said, “Tracy does have a reason, she did not deliberately impersonate Rita.”

Rita’s award win was already widely known, and now there was even an award ceremony being held, yet Rita never made an appearance. Plus, Rita’s account had been inactive for several years. Perhaps, the real Rita had already died.

If Rita really had died, no one would be able to expose Tracy. Even if Tracy paid to change the account information, she must have had her reasons!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Swift gradually found some confidence, “Actually… Tracy and Rita were good friends! Rita was seriously ill, and before she died, she gave all of her music to Tracy. Her dying wish was for Tracy to publish her songs and win the highest prize in the music world. The Star Music Festival only allows individuals to participate under their own names, so Tracy had no choice but to ask a hacker to change Rita’s account information. She did this to fulfill Rita’s wish. What’s wrong with that?”

The crowd’s cursing stopped. If that was the case, Tracy did indeed have a justifiable reason, but something still felt off.

Tracy, who was slumped in her chair, suddenly perked up as she listened. Hope rekindled in her eyes, and she immediately stood up, wiped her tears, and tried to casually explain, “That’s right, Rita was indeed my friend. Unfortunately, she passed away due to illness a few years ago. Her only wish was for me to carry on her music legacy and let everyone hear the voice she left in this world.”

The onlookers exchanged glances, their eyes full of suspicion, and they remained silent.

“Heh heh,” Xaviera chuckled softly, breaking the deathly silence.
