Chapter 158
Third Person POV What do you mean you found the perpetrator ? Gavin asked through the mindlink .
He glanced at Matt who was still lost in thought .
Had he lied to him ? Matt has never lied before … has he ? It was a maid , Taylor continued .
She was found with the peanut butter in her room .
The same maid that came to get you after his allergic reaction .
She admitted she wanted compensation for aiding his rescue .
Compensation ? Gavin growled into the mindlink .
want her banished from the pack and turned into a rogue immediately .
Yes , Alpha , Taylor agreed .
Do you want to see her before shes banished .
Gavin thought about it for a second and then sighed .
No , he murmured .
Just get rid of her .
Yes , Alpha .
The link ended and Gavin turned back to Matt , his eyes narrowed .
Why did you lie to me? Matt raised his gaze to look at Gavin and a frown formed on his lips .
I didnt lie to you … Matt said , unconvincingly .
Yes , you did , Matthew , Gavin said , folding his arms across his chest .
Because you werent the one who put the peanut butter in that sandwich … it was a maid .
Matts eyes grew wide .
What ? He gasped .
Why would a maid want to hurt me ?? Thats not for you to worry about .
Just know itll never happen again .
Shes being banished and Ill have the other maids investigated as well .
Matt glanced at his hands and tugged his fingers nervously as he processed all his father had said .
You shouldnt have lied to me , Matt … Gavin said , his voice twinged with disappointment .
Im sorry , Dad … I just couldnt let Judy get in trouble , he said sadly , tears welling up in his eyes .
Gavin was quiet , processing his words for a moment .
So, if it truly was Judys mistake , you still would have covered for her ? He finally asked.
Without hesitation , Matt nodded .
Yes , he answered .
Shes become family , right ? Family is supposed to have each others back .
Gavin was quiet for another moment ; Matt was right .
dy had become part of the family .
She was always around , and it wasnt fair that he didnt listen to a thing she said .
He blindly accused her of something terrible and now he was seriously regretting his choices .
He just hoped it wasnt too late to rectify things .
Meanwhile , Both Gavin and Irene were oblivious of Ethans planning .
He thought having Judy in his family home would have been great for him , but he found it even more difficult to get close to her because his family had a 24/7 watch on her .
He knew Judy couldnt poison Matt ; she loved that boy too much .
He wasnt sure who was sick enough to do such a thing to a 7 year old , but he knew it wasnt her .
He did the only thing he could think to do … he bribed a maid .
Told her that he would set her up with a lifetime of fortune if she took the fall .
He handed her the peanut butter , and her greedy eyes lit up when she heard about the fortune .
An hour later , she was being banished and Ethan was wiring a ton of money into her account .
He was a man of his word after all .
Although , he knew it wouldnt be long before she ended up dead and hed get the money back anyway .
Now , he just had to make sure that Judy got her job back so at least he had a chance to see her every day and continue convincing her to become his side piece .
Judys POV You look exhausted , Nan pointed out as she met me in the student quad .
I stared down at my failed test and let out a sigh .
I didnt have time to study for this exam because of how much work Ive been doing for the Cash family .
Is living with the Cashs that bad ? I gave her a pointed look .
Its worse than bad , I murmured .
Ive only been there for a couple of days , and I havent slept once .
Im so sorry , Judy , Nan said , resting her head on my shoulder .
I wish there was something I could do .
Ive been looking around for a place for you , but nobody has any spare rooms .
Its okay , I murmured .
Its not your fault .
Im honestly grateful that youve been trying .
Its not fair that they are working you like a dog , Nan said , folding her arms across her chest .
You have a life too and school you need to focus on .
