During the preliminaries, they replaced Carmen’s submission with Aubree’s work. Since she had the scores to back her up, when Aubree ghostpainted for her in the finals, no one suspected a thing.

Since Carmen stole her achievements in her previous life, and now this evidence had fallen right into her hands, Aubree would be wasting a heaven-sent opportunity if she didn’t use it.

Aubree’s expression turned steely as she rummaged through her memory for a contact, the vice president the two had just mentioned, Stan Frazier.

Stan lived and breathed art, remaining a lifelong bachelor.

In her previous life, he was the only one who questioned Carmen’s results. But lacking concrete evidence, he could only postpone her award for as long as he possibly could.

Aubree faintly recalled how, in her previous life, the spirited, white-haired Stan had come to Rithol High School clutching the painting she had ghostpainted for Carmen. When he asked if she was the true artist, his eyes shone with such intense passion and hope.

Aubree anonymously sent the recording to Stan’s email, making sure to point out that he could check the security footage from both the restroom area and the hallway.

She wasn’t the least bit worried that Stan would just brush this off. He was a true master who treated art with absolute dedication. In her previous life, he’d managed to track her down with only the faintest clue. Now that there was both audio and video evidence, there was no way he’d let it slide.
