Chapter 159

**Chapter 0159**

I shrugged and chewed on the inside of my cheek.

—

“I don’t think she really sees how bad things are for me,” I admitted. “When I tried…”

I wanted to talk to her about it. She said I should be grateful to the Cash family and that I shouldn’t complain too much.

Nan rolled her eyes.

“She’s completely blind,” she whispered.

“Her mate is in…

“I just want her to be okay,” I sighed. “She’s allowed to be blind, but if anything were to happen to her… if they treated her like they treat me…”

Tears rolled down my cheeks before I could stop them. I felt a heavy weight in my heart, worried about what she might face.

I quickly wiped away the tears before anyone else could see.

“It’s not fair to you…” she whispered. “Have you eaten? You look like you’ve lost a lot of weight.”

I bit my lip, feeling a mix of emotions.

“I haven’t eaten much in the last couple of days,” I admitted. “The food the servants make isn’t edible, and I just haven’t felt hungry.”

“I’m fine,” I reassured Nan.

I looked at the clock and sighed.

“I should go,” I said to her. “I don’t want to be too late tonight.”

“Make sure you get some schoolwork done,” she reminded me as I walked toward the parking lot.

I waved goodbye to her as I left.

I was waiting for my Uber, which I knew would arrive any minute. However, I didn’t expect to see a familiar luxury car pull up in front of me. My frown deepened as the window rolled down, revealing Beta Taylor sitting in the driver’s seat.

“Taylor?” I asked, my eyebrows knitted together. “What are you doing here?”

“I have some news for you,” he replied.

I sighed and took a step back from the car.

“If Gavin knew you were here…”

“Here, you’ll probably get in trouble,” I warned him.

“He’s the one who sent me,” he surprised me by saying. “He had important work to do at his villa and couldn’t come himself, but—”

“Isn’t that just like him?”

“I can’t believe he thinks he’s so rich,” I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest.

Just then, my Uber arrived. The driver honked once to let me know he was here. I waved for him to wait a moment.

“I have to go,” I told him.

Taylor quickly jumped out of the car and rushed towards me as I turned on my heel and started to walk away.

“Wait, Judy! Please, listen to me for a minute,” Taylor called out.

He pleaded with me, but I had nothing to say in response. I wasn’t sure if anything he could say would really help.

“Beta, I really need to go,” I said, looking back over my shoulder.

“Wait,” he said, trying to stop me.

We discovered the truth. It was a maid who poisoned Matt; it wasn’t you…

My whole body went cold just as I was about to open the back door of the Uber. I was sure it had to be Irene somehow involved in this.

I was surprised by how strangely she acted. I never expected it would be one of Gavin’s trusted maids.

“Are you sure?” I asked without looking at him.

“Yes,” he replied. “She gave a complete confession. She’s been banished from the household.”

“…forbidden to join any pack,” Taylor explained.

I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his words. Slowly, I turned to look at him.

“That’s as good as death,” I said, my voice shaky and breathy.

Taylor looked at me with concern.

He nodded and ran his fingers through his hair.

“She almost killed his son, so yeah, he’s really angry. You can’t blame him for being upset and worried about his son’s safety,” he said.

I sighed.

“No, of course I’m not blaming him,” I replied.

“I’m sorry,” I said softly. “But he wouldn’t even listen to me. I understand that he was upset, but he pushed me away, Taylor.”

“And he regrets that,” Taylor tried to explain. “If you would just give him a chance…”

“Just give him a chance…”

“A chance?” I scoffed. “He can’t even come here himself to apologize. If he wants me to forgive him, then he’ll have to talk to me directly.”

I opened the door, ready to confront the situation head-on.

She stood by the car door, hesitating before she got in.

“How is Matt doing?” she asked.

Taylor replied, “He went home today. He’s doing well… but he misses you.”

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I quickly blinked them away.

Tears began to roll down my cheeks.

“Thank you for keeping me updated, Taylor. I really appreciate it. But if Alpha Landry is truly sorry, he needs to tell me himself. I don’t want to hear it from his Beta.”

“I understand,” Taylor said as he stepped away from me.

I didn’t look back at him. Instead, I got into the car and slammed the door shut. The Uber driver pulled away just as the tears finally started to flow.

My eyes opened wide as I took in the scene before me.

The world seemed full of possibilities, and I felt a rush of excitement.

As I looked around, I noticed small details that I had missed before. Each moment was vibrant and alive, and I couldn’t help but smile at the beauty surrounding me.

With each passing second, I realized that this was just the beginning of an incredible adventure.
