    Ronald turned around and immediately guessed what Tracy was about to do just from her expression.


    Without hesitation, he swallowed his following words and even stepped back, letting her take the lead.


    Tracy didn’t hold anything back. She said, “Even after everything, you still won’t check the surveince and just keep ming me.


    “You keep saying it’s for my good, telling me to stop making a fuss, but you’re just trying to force me to admit something I didn’t do.


    “Are you seriously that clueless, or do you just want to me me no matter what?”


    Her words weren’t as sharp as Ronald’s. But for Tracy, who had been pushed down and crushed by the Jackmans for so long, it felt like she was finally standing up for herself.


    The Jackmans were stunned.


    It was like they were seeing Tracy for the first time, their faces full of shock and confusion.


    Was that the same Tracy who always put them first, swallowed her pain, and epted all the me just for their approval?


    They were furious, expecting her to cry, deny everything, and beg for forgiveness humbly.


    Was that the Tracy they knew?


    Liam was also dumbfounded.


    Unlike the others, he thought the current Tracy felt more like the real person he remembered deep down.


    She was proud and defiant. Even when they stomped on her, she refused to admit defeat.


    When did the girl in his memories change into someone else?


    For a moment, Liam felt lost, like he was trapped in fog. But in that fog, he saw a faint light.


    No one noticed that Erin’s face went even paler.


    It was like her soul had just been drained, and she couldn’t hide the panic as she nced at Liam.


    The Jackmans still stood frozen, staring at Tracy as if they hadn’t quite recovered from being confronted by her.


    Ronald was the first to break the silence. “CeeCee, don’t waste your energy on these people.


    “They want to me you and refuse to check the footage to find the truth. I’ll handle that myself”


    His eyes briefly passed over the Jackmans before settling on Winona.


    He kept his bright smile with dimples showing, making him look young and lively. But somehow, Winona


    felt a chill.

    Before she could react, Ronald looked away and called out, “Don’t you want to see who sneaked into that room and ruined the gifts? Turn around and watch for yourselves.”


    Following his words, everyone turned to the big screen that had been showing birthday wishes for Erin. Suddenly, it flickered and switched to hotel surveince footage.


    Everyone recognized it immediately-it was the camera facing the gift room.


    Winona’s face instantly turned pale.


    Ronald’s smile grew even wider. “To make sure you see everything clearly and can’t me CeeCee, I put it on this big screen. Pretty thoughtful, right?”


    Nobody answered him.


    Everyone’s eyes were glued to the screen as they watched Winona sneak into the room and leave after some time.


    The video sped up, clearly showing that no one else went in until Andrew showed up.


    He didn’t go inside but stood at the door a while, then stormed off angrily.


    Everyone knew what happened after that.


    Andrew hung his hands by his side, shaking uncontrobly. Only then did he feel the sting from the p he’d given Tracy.


    Had he been wrong about her?


    When the footage ended, all eyes turned to the pale Winona.


    She staggered, barely able to stand. “It’s not me. I didn’t … ”


    She tried to exin in a panic, but she stumbled over her words and couldn’t finish a sentence.


    Erin, still holding Winona’s arm, finally seemed to realize what was happening and pulled her hand away sharply. “Winona, I never thought you’d do this. You were my best friend. Why would you do something like this?”


    Her face showed disappointment and hurt, like someone deeply shocked by betrayal. Anyone seeing her would pity her as the victim.


    Winona stared at Erin, still seeming confused. “Erin …”


    Before she could say more, her shoulder was grabbed and pulled aside.


    Andrew’s face was dark. “Speak! Why did you do this?!”


    Erin had always been kind and trusted Winona as her closest friend.


    Because he cared about Erin, Andrew had never doubted Winona. That was why he misunderstood Tracy and even hit her in public.


    At that moment, Andrew didn’t dare meet Tracy’s eyes, feeling like her stare was burning him alive.
