Filthy rich werewolves by Taylor Caine novel Chapter 21

GRACE

I’m cooking a meal in the apartment and waiting for Jason to come home for dinner, when the doorbell rings. I’m not expecting anyone. Aside from Jay, no one has been to my place. Or even knows where I live.

I open the door and see my father, stepmother, and Evelyn.

The three of them rush straight inside.

My father doesn’t waste any time. "Did you meet some shady people in prison? I'm telling you right now… if you dare do anything that will affect our family... Don't expect me to deal with you lightly!"

"What on earth did I do that would require you to ‘deal with me’?" I glance at my father coldly.

"Did you ask someone to break Assistant Director Curtis's hand? He was just asking you to drink with him, and he didn't do anything else. How could you be so vicious? Did you lose your memory while in prison? Do you think that you can just do whatever you want after meeting some evil people in prison!?"

I shake my head. So that’s the way he sees it.

"It seems like karma is real,” I tell my father, “Because that man got what he deserved. Also, if you think that there's nothing wrong with drinking together, then go ahead and ask your precious daughter Evelyn to drink with him instead. What did she scheme against me for!?"

"This is what you owe her! If it weren't for you, she—“

“—If it weren't for me, she never would’ve gotten a role in the first place! Do you really think she’d be chosen as a female lead with no experience? That was because of me. Because of Sean." I let that little barb land. "Don’t tell me that I owe her anything, because I never did!"

Evelyn bats her eyes innocently. ”Sister, I've never blamed you for your sins. You don't need to speak to dad like this."

Oh, that’s ripe. She’s acting like she’s the one who’s been wronged.

“Pardon me. You’re so noble, Evelyn,” I reply sarcastically.

My dad frowns.

“Do you really think you can charge into my home and bully me into being some sex toy to advance your career? This entire conversation and trying to blame me for your shortcomings…it’s ludicrous.”

Evelyn bursts into tears.

Fake ones.

My stepmother quickly comforts her daughter and glares at me with disgust. "Grace, don't take your anger out on your sister. Your father just doesn't want you to go down the wrong path. If you go to jail again, what will happen to our family's reputation!?"

"What's the point of talking to her about all of this?” My father says. “Grace, you will go to Assistant Director Curtis immediately. No matter what method you use, ask him to forgive you. You can't implicate Evelyn because of this matter, do you understand? If you dare to ruin Evelyn's future, just watch how I deal with you!”
