Chapter 263
Oh , I see , she murmured .
Then you must be very special What about you ? I asked .
Arent you competing ? She looked down at her sweatshirt again and her shoulders slumped slightly .
No , she said softly .
But Im required to be there to support my gamma .
Oh ? I asked .
She sighed and then looked up at me .
Hes kind of my boyfriend .
My eyes grew wide .
Youre dating your gamma ? She nodded , nibbling her lower lip .
Nan looked around with a frown .
Then where is he ? She asked .
He took an earlier flight with a group of his friends , she murmured .
I was left behind .
But Im going anyways .
Over the loudspeaker , I heard our section of the plane being called .
I glanced at Nan who gave me a head nod , indicating that she too heard it .
We have to go , I told her , standing to my feet .
But maybe we will see you there ? She nodded , giving me a small smile .
Yeah , she said softly .
Maybe .
On that note , Nan and I walked towards the terminal gates and handed our tickets to the stewardess before we boarded the plane .
Next stop , tropical paradise ! Nan announced , tugging me along with her .
Third Person POV Back at the villa , Irene went to her brothers room to check on him .
She had just got off the phone with Ethan and he was about to come over .
She needed to speak to him about that woman she saw at his house .
She wasnt going to feel better until she got to the bottom of it .
However , she took her fathers words to heart .
She cant just be mad at Judy ; Ethan also lied to her .
He was just as guilty if not more .
She knocked on Matts door and when there was no answer , she pushed the door open .
Matt was seated in his bed , playing video games .
Of course , thats what he was doing .
Hey , she said , stepping into his room : What do you want ? He asked without even looking up .
The bitterness of his tone took Irene by surprise , and she froze .
Chapter 263
Whats with the attitude ? she asked , folding her arms across her chest as she stared down at him .
I heard what you said to Judy yesterday , he muttered , shaking his head as he finally pulled his eyes away from his video games to glare up at her .
You were horrible and blamed her for my accident .
Because she shot you , Irene said , pointing to his healing leg .
In another day or so , it would be completely healed thankfully .
It was her fault .
It was my fault .
I moved in front of the target because I saw something on the ground I wanted to pick up , Matt surprised her by saying .
Judy always told me never to move from my current location if someone is shooting because they aim according to placement .
I threw her off balance by moving my position .
I wasnt thinking straight .
It was a rookie mistake .
Irene was stunned , speechless .
She did see Matt moving from his current position , but Judy still should have seen him before releasing the bow .
She wasnt even aiming for me , Matt continued .
She was showing me a trick shot .
The arrow happened to be going in the same direction I moved to .
A trick shot ? Irene asked , furrowing her brows .
You know nothing about what Judy can do , Matt said through his teeth .
Shes an incredible archer and combater and can do things you could only dream of .
This accident was not her fault .
I wanted to tell her that last night , but everyone w was yelling and then Dad listened to you and kicked her out .
He Alpha commanded her , Irene and its your fault .
Irene was shocked .
… uh … she stammered .
Gavin knocked on the door , interrupting their conversation .
Everything okay ? He asked , stepping into the room .
The accident wasnt Judys fault , Matt repeated .
I moved from my original location after she told me countless times not to do that .
If anyone is to blame , its me .
But please , dont be mad at Judy anymore .
I dont want her to quit or get fired … I dont want her to leave .
Tears welled up in Matts eyes and Irene felt a ping of guilt in her chest .
This was her fault completely ; what kind of monster had she become ? And for what ? All for Ethan ? Was he even worth it ? Thank you for telling me that , Gavin said , placing a hand on Matts shoulder .
Dad … you arent going to fire her , are you !! Gavin shook his head .
No , Ive been trying to get a hold of her though .
Her phones off .
Itll have to wait until I come back .
I was coming in here to tell you that Im leaving now , and Ill be gone for a few weeks .
Are you going straight to the Gamma competition ? bly meet some of the It doesnt start for another couple of days .
Im going to check in at the resort and then possibly competitors for dinner this evening , he explained .
Behave while Im gone .
Both of you .
Call if you need anything .
Be good for Beta Taylor .
Okay … they both said at the same time .
Gavin left and Irene glanced back at Matt who still had tears in his eyes .
It was at that moment that Irene knew she messed up .
