Erin felt smug inside, but on the outside, she put on this warm, understanding smile as she walked over to Tracy. “Tracy, why don’t you just head home? I promise I’ll keep your secret. I won’t tell Ms. Nicholls you snuck in.”

She reached out to take Tracy’s hand, but Tracy stepped back, clearly on guard.

Their little exchange had already drawn attention, and people started drifting over to see what was going on.

Tracy did not want to make a big scene–partly because she did not want to ruin Jane’s birthday, and partly because she needed to quietly get Erin’s DNA tonight.

After a moment of thought, she pulled an invitation from her small bag. “If you really think I sneaked in, you can check for yourself.”

Erin was not surprised. She knew Tracy was not the type to crash someone’s party.

However, since all the invitations looked the same, Erin could still claim Tracy stole it- something she had done before without batting an eye.

Grinning, Erin opened the card, but her smile froze as soon as she saw the details.

It had the same time and location as all the others, but there was an extra touch–a bold capital “T” next to the guest’s name.

And beneath it, Jane’s own signature.

Tracy is “T“?

Was she personally invited by Ms. Nicholls?

Even Erin’s acting skills could not hide the flicker of shock on her face.

People behind her, not knowing what was going on, craned their necks to look. “I wanna see that invite …”

Before the words were out, Erin snapped the card shut and instinctively hid it behind her back.

“It’s real. I saw it. Guess we misunderstood Tracy,” she said in a sweet, apologetic tone. “You’re not mad at us, right?”

Tracy did not bother with the niceties. She just held out her hand. “Give it back.”

Of course, Erin did not. Her eyes even started to water.

“So you’re not gonna forgive us? We didn’t mean to hurt you. It’s just … after what happened before, people misunderstood. If you’re mad, I’ll apologize for everyone. You can yell at me or even hit me if you like.”

She stood there looking like she was willing to take all the blame just to protect the others, her tears trembling on her lashes, making her look heartbreakingly pitiful.

Some people had started to feel guilty about the misunderstanding, but the moment they saw Erin like this, that guilt vanished. They stepped in front of her protectively. “Erin already said sorry. Why are you still making a big deal out of it?”

“It was a misunderstanding. You’re just picking on her ‘cause she’s nice, aren’t you?”

“Today is Ms. Nicholls’s birthday. You’re not making all this noise just to get his attention, are you?”

Tracy stayed calm, as if none of their accusations touched her.

She had seen this kind of thing plenty of times since Erin returned to the Jackmans.

The difference was that the Jackmans at least had some blood connection with Erin and had known Tracy for years. Yet, these people were complete strangers. So, why were they so eager to take Erin’s side?

It was like the moment Erin stood there, everyone automatically lined up to protect her.

Very strange.

Tracy studied Erin from behind the human wall, her gaze sharp enough to make Erin’s stomach twist. For a moment, it felt like Tracy could see straight through her.

Then, Tracy looked away and turned her attention to the group blocking her.

“I just asked for my invitation back, but you’re saying I’m bullying her. Yet, you accused me of sneaking in and basically ganged up on me. Doesn’t that count as bullying, too?”

They knew she had a point, but none of them would admit it.

“You’re making stuff up!” one of them blurted, sounding more nervous than convincing.

Seeing no one speak up, Erin, still hiding pitifully behind the others, clenched her teeth.

Useless idiots!

She tightened her grip on the invitation. There was no way she was giving it back.

Just as she was deciding what to do next, a stir went through the crowd.

A woman in her late forties slowly came down the spiral staircase.

She was not wearing a fancy gown–just a flowing bohemian outfit that made her look effortlessly stylish–yet she still carried an air of elegance that demanded attention.

“It’s Ms. Nicholls!” someone whispered.

Almost immediately, people began moving toward her, even the ones who had been blocking Tracy’s path.
