Then, Liam added, “Norris already taught me a lesson, and I’ve been thinking about it. We’ve gotten along all these years. How could some small issue ruin that?

“Erin, will you forgive me?”

Liam’s attitude was sincere as he looked at Erin nervously. He didn’t look like he was lying at all.

But Erin wasn’t convinced that he had changed his attitude without motive.

She looked at Liam warily. “Are you truly here to apologize?”

He quickly nodded. “Yes, Norris already set me straight.”

Erin stayed skeptical.

Before, Liam would’ve rather been thrown out of the Jackmans than apologize to her. How could a few words from Norris change him?

Even when he first started acting softer and wanted to come back home, Erin felt something was off. That wasn’t the impulsive, proud Liam she knew at all.

Now, seeing him in her room only made her suspicions stronger.

Still, she didn’t call him out. She played along, letting out a small laugh. “Why would I blame you? You’re my little brother.”

Something flickered in Liam’s eyes at that.

He kept smiling, and eventually seemed to relax. “I’m glad you’re not upset.”

He bent down, picked up the earrings from the floor, put them back in the box, and set it on the bed.

As he turned, he slid his hand into his pocket.

If Erin had noticed, she might have seen several strands of long hair that he hid.

But his body blocked her view, so she didn’t see anything.

Liam turned back with a friendly grin. “Erin, keep this gift for now. I’ll get you something better next time.”

Erin nodded and returned a smile. “Sure.”

They acted as if nothing bad had happened.

But once Liam left the doorway, Erin’s smile disappeared.

She went over to where he had been standing, checking the bed and even flipping the mattress, but she found nothing out of place.

She then pulled out the carrings Liam had given her and dismantled the box, but she still found nothing out of the ordinary.

Was she overthinking?

After thinking for a while, Erin suddenly spoke, “Can you find out what Liam was doing in my room just

now?”

Her voice echoed strangely through the space.

No one answered.

After a pause, she spoke again, her tone sharp and frustrated. “You’re so useless! What’s the point of having you around?”

She threw the box on the floor, venting the anger she felt after hearing Tracy had become deputy CEO,

Just then, her phone rang.

Erin, still fuming, picked it up and was about to hang up. But she stopped when she saw who was calling.

Matthew? Why is he calling me?

The Jackmans assumed Matthew was helping for her sake, but Erin knew perfectly well how little he cared about her.

After hesitating briefly, she decided to pick up the call, her voice softening immediately. “Hello, Mr. Renault. What’s the matter?”

Matthew’s voice was as gentlemanly as always. “Ms. Jackman, you’ve invited me to a meal a few times, and I’ve always turned you down. I happened to have some free time recently. Are you available?”

Erin was quite surprised.

She knew Matthew wouldn’t ask her out without a reason. But whatever it was, she had no excuse to say no.

So the next day, Erin dressed elegantly and went to meet him.

They met at a fancy restaurant.

Maybe to show how much he valued her or for some other reason. Matthew had reserved the whole floor.

When Erin arrived, he even stood to pull out her chair, every action precise and gentlemanly.

She kept a graceful smile, acting like she was only there to have a meal with him.

After some polite small talk, Matthew finally got to the point. “Ms. Jackman, I guess your relationship with Tracy isn’t great, right?”

A real daughter and a fake one were bound to clash.

Matthew’s question left her a bit confused.

He noticed her guarded look and smiled lightly. “Honestly, I hold a personal grudge against Tracy, so …

He poured her tea. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?”

Erin’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t hide her excitement. “You have a grudge against Tracy? That means you don’t like her, right?”

Matthew studied her carefully.

He wasn’t a fool. He could see how eager and tense she became when she heard he had a grudge against Tracy.

It seemed that she had been worried from the start that he might get close to Tracy.
