Chapter 400: Tracy let out a mocking laugh. "Stop deluding yourself. Brian never liked you. If he did, he wouldn't have kept you a secret." Every word Tracy said was the harsh truth.
And painful truths always cut the deepest.
Rachel had seen it coming and thought she could handle it, but hearing Tracy say it out loud still felt like a slap to the face.

Rachel could never compete with her in this game. Pretending to be fragile and innocent? Just the thought made her sick.
"Rachel, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stopped you. I know you didn't do it on purpose," Tracy murmured, biting her lip, her eyes full of understanding.
