The Unwanted Daughter When Love Comes Too Late novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Call The Police

At this kind of birthday party, people care a lot about their image. Getting into a shouting match was already bad enough–throwing hands? Totally unthinkable.

That’s why Tracy’s behavior seemed absolutely wild.

Everyone froze, too scared to step in. They just watched as Erin got slapped, her cheeks puffing up almost instantly.

Tracy looked annoyed, shoved her aside, and Erin stumbled before hitting the floor with a loud thud.

In a spot where nobody noticed, Tracy secretly pinched a few strands of Erin’s hair between her fingers.

Her voice turned sharp and threatening as she looked down at her. “If I wanted to deal with you, this is exactly how I’d do it.”

Erin was stunned.

The Tracy she remembered was a shy, weak girl at home–someone who hardly even spoke up. When had she turned into this straight–up maniac?

The whole room went dead silent.

After what felt like forever, Erin finally stammered, “I–I’m sorry, it was all my fault. I misunderstood Tracy.”

She covered her face and started crying loudly. “Tracy didn’t break my gift out of jealousy. It broke by itself. It wasn’t her fault. Tracy was right to hit me … I–I deserved it … Sob … *

Her expression, showing that she had been wronged but holding back her anger out of fear of getting hit again, made her look pitiful to everyone watching.

Jane frowned, realizing something was off. Erin’s words still hinted that Tracy had ruined her gift.

Anyone would be irritated if their birthday turned into this much drama, and Jane’s voice turned cold. “You claim she broke your stuff–do you have any evidence?”

Erin lifted her teary eyes toward Jane, almost begging for sympathy.

“I–I don’t know,” she whispered helplessly. “I don’t usually have enemies, and my family and

friends all love me–except for Tracy.”

She shot a nervous look at Tracy. “Back at my birthday party, all my gifts got ruined, so I thought it was her.”

The truth was, Winona had destroyed those gifts, but the incident got buried. Hardly anyone knew.

So now, with Erin twisting the story, people started assuming Tracy had done it.

She had already ruined all the gifts at someone else’s birthday before, so with that record, it wasn’t surprising she might do it again.

Maybe she was behind today’s mess, too. Only this time she was smart enough not to leave any clues.

Nobody spoke, but their smirks and side–eyes toward Tracy said it all.

Only Jane kept her calm. Her deep gaze stayed steady as she asked, “Do you have anything to say?”

She trusted her gut, and it told her Tracy deserved a fair chance.

Tracy could feel Jane’s fairness and looked at her with respect–and a little guilt.

“I didn’t break anything, and I had no reason to cause trouble at your birthday,” Tracy said sincerely. “If you’re okay with it, please call the police.”

Let the professionals figure it out.

Tracy was curious to see how Erin would wriggle out of things once the

cops showed up.

Erin froze, panic flickering in her eyes.

She had made this plan up on the spot, just assuming things would go her way like before. She hadn’t counted on Tracy flipping the script, and she wasn’t ready for real questions.

Her eyes dropped, fists tightening as she scrambled for an escape plan.

What she didn’t realize was that Jane happened to catch every bit of that expression.

The truth was, Jane genuinely admired “T” for her natural talent and spark.

Over the years, Jane had traveled all over and met plenty of gifted people–some even more

talented than T.

But the mix of struggle, depth, and sharp contrasts hidden in T’s artwork stood out as some of the most powerful she’d ever come across.

Even in T’s darkest paintings, there was always a flicker of light, a soul that stayed pure. Jane never thought she’d meet T in a moment like this.

Feeling regret for such wasted talent, Jane didn’t rush to agree with Tracy’s request. She hesitated.

Tracy noticed the pause.

She didn’t know why Erin had gotten on Jane’s good side, but she respected Jane—it was her birthday, after all. Tracy decided not to push her.

Besides, she had already accomplished her other goal for the day, so there was no need to stick around and make things awkward for Jane..

But just as Tracy opened her mouth to speak, another voice cut in, “Actually, there’s no need to call the police. I know what really happened.”
