Chapter 0158 Third Person POV What do you mean you found the perpetrator ? Gavin asked through the mindlink .


    He nced 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 wantedpensation 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 nced 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 be family , right ? Family is supposed to have each others back .


    Gavin was quiet for another moment ; Matt was right .


    dy had be part of the family .


    She was always around , and it wasnt fair that he didnt listen to a thing she said .


    He blindly used her of something terrible and now he was seriously regretting his choices .


    He just hoped it wasnt toote to rectify things .


    Meanwhile , Both Gavin and Irene were oblivious of Ethans nning .


    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 hourter , she was being banished and Ethan was wiring a ton of money into her ount .


    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 be 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 ce 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 .
