Without second thoughts, he admitted, “Just now, I was thinking about the time Tracy was kidnapped….
The warm, easy mood froze the instant her name was brought up.
Liam didn’t realize the shift and kept talking. “At that time, Tracy looked far messier than Erin does now, and she even had blood on her … Could it be… that she wasn’t pretending?”
No one had anticipated Liam bringing up Tracy out of nowhere, and all eyes turned toward him in disbelief.
Because of this shock, no one caught the slight tension that shed across Erin’s face.
<i>Seriously</i>? <i>Why </i><i>would </i><i>this </i>idiot <i>bring </i><i>up </i><i>Tracy </i><i>now</i>? <i>Shouldn’t </i><i>his </i><i>attention </i><i>be </i>entirely on <i>me</i><i>? </i>
Since no one else said anything, Liam kept going. “It was also five million, and the same time limit–301 minutes. But Tracy looked way more disheveled than Erin…
Heid out the simrities between Erin’s kidnapping and Tracy’s, concluding, “Maybe we judged Tracy too harshly. Maybe thatst kidnapping wasn’t some scheme she staged herself.”
When he finished, Liam nced around with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
The other Jackmans exchanged looks, their expressions showing clear irritation.
Daphne smacked the back of his head and snapped, “Are you implying Erin’s the one faking? She just survived something terrifying, and this is what you think? Unbelievable!”
Andrew’s voice was even sharper. “That waspletely out of line. Apologize to Erin right now.”
Benjamin stayed quiet, though his stare was heavy with criticism.
Erin didn’t answer either. She only lowered her gaze, appearing deeply hurt.
Noticing their reactions, Liam was struck by an odd sense that he had experienced something simr
before.
Where have <i>I </i>seen <i>this </i>kind of scene<i>? </i>
Before he could figure it out,
Erin suddenly spoke on his behalf. “Dad, Mom, Andrew, please don’t be angry with Liam. I’m sure he didn’t mean it that way.”
Liam, who had been feeling extremely nervous, clung to her words like a lifeline, nodding eagerly. agreeing with her words,
“Right, exactly! I never meant to question Erin. She’s so kind–hearted, how could I ever doubt her? I just thought of Tracy and wondered if we got her wrong.”
Hearing him still bring up Tracy’s name, a flicker of unease rose in Erin’s heart.

Today, she was the one who had been harmed, yet from the very beginning. Liam hadn’t even bothered to ask her about it–and he was still thinking about Tracy!
At first, all she wanted from this was the five million, and because of that, she hadn’t even made a move against Tracy.
But now, she has changed her mind.
With a troubled look on her face, Erin said, “I’m not sure if Tracy’s kidnapping was fake, but I think I’ve figured out who kidnapped me.”
Those words instantly grabbed everyone’s focus.
Liam reacted the fastest. “Erin, tell us. Who would dare to kidnap you? I’ll make sure they pay!”
Erin nced carefully at the worried faces surrounding her before slowly saying, “The one who kidnapped me… I think it was my sister.”
The room fellpletely quiet, the shock written on everyone’s faces.
Andrew finally broke the silence. “You mean Tracy?”
His tone was deep, as if he couldn’t decide whether to trust Erin or was dwelling on something unpleasant.
The next person to speak was Liam. “That’s impossible, right? Erin, maybe you’re wrong?”
Although he imed it was impossible, doubt still colored his voice.
Even before saying anything, he had instinctively looked at Andrew.
Since Tracy had been involved in a kidnapping before, he wanted to stand up for her, but he didn’t feel certain enough.
Erin also seemed to catch on, ncing cautiously at the serious–faced Andrew before going on. “I … I guess I must’ve been mistaken.
“The kidnapper thought I had passed out, so they didn’t bother hiding while making a call to the person behind it. That’s how I heard her voice.”
She paused, looking unsure, her words growing quieter but still making sure everyone could hear.
“It really sounded like Tracy, and I caught her saying… this kidnapping wasn’t just about getting money. It was also to punish me. She imed I took her ce as the Jackmans‘ daughter.”
With that, it was almost like she had directly pointed the finger at Tracy.
Nobody questioned if she was telling the truth. It was as if, deep down, they believed every word she said
without doubt.
“Tracy has crossed the line!” Liam shouted, smacking the leather seat under him, his eyes burning with
anger.
A moment ago, he had been defending her and even feeling bad for her, but now <b>he </b>realized that <b>Tracy</b>, with such cruel intentions, wasn’t worthy at all.
