But she was more ruthless than | expected. She pushedoff...
‘Miss Hayes.”
Her voice yankedback to the present. | blinked, focusing on the woman with Audrey's face.
“Mrs. Knox, I...” | stumbled over my words.
‘I know what you did,” she said, her eyes cold. “On Long Island, you and Mr. Parker toldtwins always have a
spiritual connection - that my designs and my sister's would naturally be similar. Remember that?”
| couldn’t meet her eyes.
“And now, just a month later, you take my sister's designs from her cloud drive and accuseof plagiarism?”
| instinctively glanced at Blake, who sat watching us, perfectly calm.
“I don’t know what you're talking about,” | said with a forced frown, then switched to the sweet, accommodating
smile I'd seen Audrey use so many times. “When did | accuse you of plagiarism? There must be some
misunderstanding.”
She smiled back coldly. “No misunderstanding. My sister gave all her account passwords to Astrid Wilson before
she died.”
She pulled out her phone, and | felt my pulse spike.
“That cloud account you thought only you and Audrey could access? Astrid has the login too.”
| struggled to keep my face neutral.
“She checked the account history and found the IP address of the last login.” She turned her screen toward me
and read: “The Parker mansion.”
She tilted her head. “So tell me, did you just cfrom there?”
The blood drained from my face.
Yes, | had just cfrom the Parker mansion.

Thalia- too chickenshit to face her mother alone had beggedto cover and help.
I'd wasted an hour at the mansion doing damage control with Rebecca.
Just when | finally got her calmed down, Adrian called about “trouble”...
“Your silence says everything,” Adrian said, cutting into my thoughts. “You were at the Parker mansion.”
When | didn’t respond, his mouth twisted into a smirk. “Thought you were being clever, didn’t you?”
“Trash my wife's career while making her look like she stole from her dead sister. Two birds, one stone.”
He stepped beside Audrey, running his eyes over the kneeling girls before looking back at me. “Too bad your
hired help folded like cheap suits.”
“You figured we wouldn't touch these girls because their daddies matter in New York, and we're just visitors from
Australia.”
“Big mistake.”
His smile never reached his eyes. “These amateurs broke the first rule of getting paid to do dirty work they
ratted you out immediately.”
“And second...”
He moved behind the heavy girl and kicked her hard.
She hit the ground with a scream.
Through her wailing, Adrian locked eyes with me. “I don’t give a damn who's who in New York. | can handle
anyone in this city.”
