“It was my fault for giving Ms. Nicholls such a nice gift, and that made Tracy jealous enough to act out. But honestly, Ms. Nicholls is someone I look up to more than anyone else.

“I spent all my

allowance on this jewelry set and even asked Andrew to hire a famous designer to make it a month ago.

“If Tracy thought my gift outshone hers, she could’ve just told me. Why ruin all the effort I put in? Sob, sob… ”

Erin’s crying slowly shifted into blaming Tracy, her teary face making it seem like Tracy had done something unforgivable.

People started feeling sorry for Erin and shot Tracy dirty looks.

Jane frowned too, clearly annoyed.

Her eyes landed on Tracy, and instantly her opinion of the girl dropped.

Jane seldom came back home, and this was the first big party she’d hosted here. On top of that, she disliked schemers and tricksters, so anyone causing trouble at this party would annoy her.

But when she locked eyes with Tracy, that automatic dislike strangely disappeared.

As an artist, Jane trusted her instincts more than her brain.

After traveling the country for decades and meeting all kinds of people, she could tell from Tracy’s eyes–this girl wasn’t the type to use such cheap tricks.

She had planned to brush the whole thing off, but instead, Jane asked Tracy, “Do you have anything to say?”

The fact that Jane gave Tracy a chance to explain caught Erin off guard.

In her plan, everyone was supposed to side against Tracy, not hear her out, and then Tracy would be tossed out.

That was how it always worked before.

Erin didn’t waste time wondering why her plan was failing–she only knew she couldn’t let Tracy talk.

She couldn’t let Jane find out Tracy was the mysterious “T” she was searching for.

“T” could only be herself!

So, as Tracy steadied herself, ready to speak, Erin cut her off, “Ms. Nicholls, this is your birthday–we shouldn’t let some silly fight ruin your night.

“Please think of this gift as something I still owe you. I’ll bring it to you myself later. Don’t be upset at Tracy; I’ll take her away right now.”

She reached for Tracy’s hand, but Tracy dodged with a frown.

Erin’s lips trembled, eyes filling with tears. “Tracy, I know you don’t like me, but this is Ms. Nicholls‘ party. Can we talk about this later, please?”

She played it off like she was going out of her way to cover for Tracy, which made people think she was sweet and generous.

Meanwhile, Tracy, who didn’t buy into the act, ended up looking like the one with a mean streak.

As expected, more people began glaring at Tracy like she was the villain.

But Tracy, either used to these looks or simply not caring, ignored them.

Instead, she turned to Jane with a calm face and said with real sincerity, “Ms. Nicholls, even though I didn’t mean for this to happen, I’m sorry for messing up your birthday.”

She gave a respectful nod.

Tracy knew Erin was up to no good, but dragging things out would only ruin the party more— and Tracy had her own goals to focus on. So she decided to use the chance Erin had accidentally handed her.

Jane, picking up on something, studied Tracy more closely,

There was a strength in this girl that most people didn’t have.

After apologizing to Jane, Tracy turned a cold stare on Erin.

Erin, startled by the look, stumbled back.

It felt like Tracy had changed into someone dangerous, like a bomb about to go

off.

And maybe seeing that fear in Erin’s eyes, Tracy suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her

hair.

“Erin, maybe I was dumb enough to fall for your tricks before. But don’t think I’ll stay dumb forever.”

“If I wanted to deal with you, I wouldn’t use cheap little games. I’d do it like this.”

She raised her other hand and slapped Erin across the face without hesitation.

“Smack! Smack! Smack!”

The sharp sound of three slaps echoed through the room, making the crowd flinch as if they’d been hit themselves.
