She had not even made her first move yet, and the universe had already dropped a gift in her lap.

Guess luck really did favor her.

Erin accepted the compliments with perfect ease, acting like she truly had a close relationship with Jane.

The more people saw her like that, the more convinced they were that she was “T.” After all, who would dare fake something like that?

With no one doubting her, the praise only got more outrageous. Before long, people were saying Jane might even take Erin as her last apprentice.

“I knew Erin was destined for big things. Remember that peacock painting she casually did in her sophomore year? Not only did she use it as her graduation piece, but the school snatched it up for their collection right away.”

“I’ve seen it in person. It’s so full of sorrow you can feel the peacock’s grief just looking at it. No wonder someone tried to plagiarize it back then.”

“Speaking of which, doesn’t that person look a lot like Tracy?”

Every head turned toward the door. There was Tracy, walking in wearing a simple, modest dress.

She scanned the room, and sure enough, her eyes landed on Erin–surrounded, glowing under all that attention–and on the hostile stares aimed at her.

Tracy frowned. She did not have to guess twice to know they were unfriendly toward her.

And right on cue, a few people broke from the group and came straight for her.

“This is Ms. Nicholls’s birthday party. What are you doing here?” One girl–who had been flattering Erin the most–jumped in first.

Tracy recognized their faces, but she had never been close to them.

If they were coming at her like this, it was almost certainly because of Erin.

She had no idea why Erin had set her sights on her the moment she arrived, but she was not looking to cause a scene.

Even though her main focus was to get Erin’s DNA, this was Jane’s birthday party, after all–the one artist she truly respected.

She did not want to turn it into a spectacle.

So instead of rising to the bait, she kept her voice calm. “Do you need something?”

That only made the girl angrier, like she had swung a punch and hit air. “I’m asking you a question. Why are you here?”

“This is an invite–only event,” another chimed in. “How did you sneak in?”

The circle tightened. “Exactly! This party isn’t for just anyone. Especially not a shameless plagiarist like you. How dare

you show up here?”

“If I were you, I’d keep my head down for the rest of my life. And yet here you are, waltzing around in a gown like you belong.”

Tracy did not want to waste her energy on them.

They were just like the Jackmans–mindless whenever Erin was involved, ready to be her attack dogs.

However, she knew if she did not clear things up, they would not let her go.

“I walked right in through the front door,” she said evenly. “If you really want to know why I’m here, ask the security at the entrance. If they tell you I snuck in, feel free to have them throw

me out.”

Her tone was open, but her face was unreadable. It was enough to make even the most confident accusers falter.

That was when Erin finally stepped in, smiling sweetly at her. “Don’t be mad, Tracy. Everyone just can’t stand plagiarists, that’s all. They weren’t trying to single you out.”

“Plagiarists are awful,” Tracy said with a faint smile. “Whoever’s done it will get what’s coming to them sooner or later. Don’t you think?”

Erin caught the meaning behind her words but did not care,

In everyone else’s eyes, that peacock painting was hers. What could Tracy possibly do about it

now?

She had tried before, and no one believed her.

Tilting her chin slightly, Erin replied, “Tracy, I forgave you for that incident years ago. You don’t need to curse yourself just to get people on your side.

“If this were another occasion, I might even ask the organizers to let you stay, for old times” sake. But this is Ms. Nicholls’s birthday.

“She’s my idol. So, I can’t just stand by and watch you cause a scene here.”

Seeing how “gracious” Erin was being, the people around her jumped to defend her. “Erin, you’re too softhearted, so that’s why people take advantage of you. If it were me, I’d ruin that plagiarist’s career completely.”

“Exactly! She’s already been proven to be a plagiarist, and she still dares to show Shameless.”
