Chapter 0135
Meredith and Kelsey chuckled and continued their banter.
It was as if they had forgotten I was there.
“What is that foul smell,” another voice said from nearby. I froze at the sound of that voice. “Oh… it’s you.”
I turned to see Sophia, Ethan’s grandmother, approaching us.
“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be licking your wounds or something? My grandson left you for someone much better. Don’t tell me you’re here to get him back?”
“I’m not here for that, Grandma,” I told her, trying to sound as polite as I could. Regardless of how cruel Grandma Sophia was, I was always taught to treat my elderly with respect, and I wouldn’t treat her less.

“Don’t call me that,” she hissed. “I’m not your grandmother. I never would be. Even if my grandson chose to marry you. I’m glad he came to his senses. You were never good enough for him. I knew your family was bad news the second I met you. Η
I frowned at her words. She always had a good relationship with my mother and father, so I wasn’t sure why she was saying such cruel words about them now,
“It’s only right that your father landed himself in prison,” Meredith said, folding her arms across her chest. “He was a slimeball from the beginning. I always wondered how he got to the top and now I know … he didn’t deserve any of it.”
My cheeks flared as anger rose inside of me; they could say what they wanted about me… but when it came to my family, they had crossed the line.
“He’s barely her father,” Kelsey chuckled. “Remember, she’s an adopted orphan because her birth parents didn’t want her. She’s a nobody… a loser… she will always be abandoned by those around her.”
They all chuckled at Kelsey’s words as I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I shouldn’t let their words affect me like this. I was training to be a gamma warrior for crying out loud. But I couldn’t help but feel some pieces of truth in them. I was abandoned… I was abandoned by almost everyone in my life except for my mother. She had always been my rock, and I worried since my father had gone to prison and my mother fell into that deep depression that I was going to lose her too. But thankfully she seemed to be snapping out of her depressive state, and I had her back. Now I just needed to get my father back. It’s not like he meant to abandon me… he was in prison against his will. But I still felt as if he had left our family, leaving me to pick up the broken pieces.
I glanced over to see my mother speaking with a couple of packmates; they were chuckling at whatever they were saying. Then, my eyes wandered over to Irene and Ethan. He was introducing her to a few of his friends; the same friends who had once welcomed me into their circle and treated me kindly. Now they had given me the cold shoulder and those who I thought were my actual friends stopped taking my phone calls. The only one who stuck by side through this entire thing was Nan and she never liked Ethan to begin with.
I should have just listened to her when she told me that Ethan was no good and that I deserved better.
