The Unwanted Daughter When Love Comes Too Late novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 The Trap in the Garage

Verity leaned in with a smile and asked, “I haven’t seen you paint, Ms. Yarwood. What are you planning to draw?”

Tracy pretended to ponder this for a moment. “Maybe a polar bear. I’ve come across a lot of videos of them lately. They’re pretty cute.”

Verity’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t expected Tracy to play along so easily.

Usually, Tracy kept her distance from everyone. Unless it was about work, most people in the team rarely spoke to her.

Verity figured her attempt at small talk would just get brushed aside.

In truth, Verity wasn’t interested in Tracy’s drawings. She was only there to sniff around for Erin, to see what Tracy was up to.

Still, Tracy played along, answering every question and even offering more than she was asked.

For instance, she mentioned she was considering auditioning for Cloudfall Tavern.

In reality, Tracy had no intention of joining.

She knew that her work as “T” online was entirely different from her usual art style. If she suddenly switched to drawing comics, people would notice right away.

And with Cloudfall Tavern being so popular, attention would naturally shift to Erin.

Verity gathered plenty of information and, eager to report back to Erin, made a quick excuse to leave.

She never noticed the way Tracy lifted her eyes and watched her back with an unreadable look.

To make her words more convincing, Tracy even started sketching in the office. The outline of a polar bear soon appeared on her paper.

Then her phone buzzed.

It was a message from Ronald.

He didn’t write a word–just sent two screenshots of Erin’s latest social media posts.

The first post was a viral photo of an adorable polar bear with the caption. “Lately I’ve been obsessed with these cuties. Thinking of painting one!”

Within minutes, it was flooded with likes and comments. Many cheered, [Can’t wait for your next update!]

Erin replied to a few, dropping hints that her next project would indeed be about polar bears.

The second post was a flyer for Cloudfall Tavern’s hiring call.

Her caption read. “Life is all about new challenges!”
