Erin glanced around, then quickly followed the crowd, smoothly slipping the invitation in her hand out of sight.

Watching the others deliberately act like they just happened to be avoiding her, Tracy was not angry–she just found it funny.

She did not plan on making a scene at an event like this, so she let them go without saying anything.

As for the invitation Erin had taken, it was useless to her anyway, so she did not bother trying to get it back.

What Tracy did not know was that at that moment, Erin was gripping the invitation inside her bag, her eyes full of cold determination.

No matter who “T” was before, from now on, it would only be her.

And Tracy?

She would make sure that Tracy would always be an embarrassing clown in Jane’s eyes.

After being stuck in Angelic Etiquette Academy for two years, Tracy was totally out of the loop. She had kept a low profile today, so hardly anyone noticed her.

That made it easier for her to keep an eye on Erin, looking for a chance to quietly get her

DNA.

However, no matter where Erin went, she had a crowd around her. Even Jane seemed to give her special attention, standing beside her and talking for quite a while.

Because of that, even more people flocked to Erin’s side.

Just as Tracy was wondering how to make a move, Erin suddenly slipped away from the group and started walking straight toward her.

It was the perfect chance, but Erin never approached anyone without a reason. Tracy knew she must have something planned.

She did not back away, but she did stay on guard.

Her spot was in the corner of the hall, with a small balcony around the corner that almost. nobody visited.

Erin stopped a few steps away, holding a one–meter–long gift box in her hands.

“Since you’re here for Ms. Nicholls’s birthday party, you must’ve brought a gift, right?”

Of course, Tracy had. No one came to an event like this empty–handed.

However, at a party this size, guests would not carry their gifts around. So, the staff would take them at the entrance, log them, and store them away.

Tracy’s gift had been handed over long ago, and Erin definitely knew that. So walking over here just to ask was obviously suspicious.

Tracy narrowed her eyes. “What do

you want?”

Erin gave a smug, almost creepy smile. “I know you gave Ms. Nicholls the newest set of paints. Sure, the colors are all there, but compared to my gift, they’re nothing.

“So you must be jealous. So jealous that you couldn’t help but do something crazy.”

As she spoke, she slowly opened the gift box, revealing a set of sparkling, delicate jewelry.

Tracy had grown up surrounded by luxury, so she recognized instantly that the set was expensive.

However, the pieces inside looked intentionally damaged–scattered and messy, with none of their original elegance.

Tracy’s stomach tightened. She already guessed what Erin was trying to do when she suddenly heard her scream.

“Tracy! I know you don’t like me, but how could you destroy the gift I was going to give Ms. Nicholls?”

Erin raised her voice, instantly drawing stares from all around, including from Jane herself.

Hearing her name, Jane walked over, a group of people trailing behind her.

They came upon two young women facing each other: one with a blank face, the other red- eyed and full of grievance.

The teary–eyed girl was holding an open box, and inside was a messy pile of broken jewelry.

To the crowd, it looked like the expressionless girl was bullying the tearful one.

Jane looked at the scene without a hint of anger for the interruption, her voice calm. “What happened here?”

Erin turned. “Ms. Nicholls?”

Her face lit up with surprise, and then, as if just realizing people had gathered around, she hurriedly tried to hide the box behind her.

However, the box was huge, so there was no way her body could cover it. If anything, the clumsy move only made more people look.

She gave a pitiful and restrained smile. “It’s … it’s nothing.”

Her words said one thing, but her eyes filled with tears, making her look heartbreakingly wronged.

Jane’s brows tightened almost imperceptibly, her gaze on Erin sharp and questioning, but she did not speak right away.

When no one followed up, Erin’s fake crying started to feel awkward.

She glanced up at Jane and found herself meeting a pair of eyes that looked like they had seen everything life could throw at them.

Her heart gave an involuntary jolt, and she quickly looked away.

“It’s all my fault,” Erin said in her usual manipulative tone. “I didn’t protect the gift I was going to give you, Ms. Nicholls. If anyone’s to blame, blame me–please don’t blame Tracy.”
