Chapter 0179
Third Person POV
+25 BONUS
Irene was in the kitchen grabbing a bite to eat when she heard giggling in the parlor. She frowned and started towards the entryway. It’s been quiet around here for the past week, but that was mainly because Matt had been in the hospital. Even when he returned though, the villa appeared quieter than usual. She and Ethan had been spending a lot of time here because of that.
When she reached the parlor door, she heard a familiar voice, and her blood went completely cold.
No….
It couldn’t be.
She pushed the door open, and her entire body froze when she saw Judy seated on the couch and Matt beside her. They were studying, but they were talking about something that made Matt burst into a fit of giggles. Her father was seated in a nearby chair with a grin on his face as he watched the two of them. It made Irene’s stomach twist and turn as she glared at the scene in front of her.
Nobody noticed her entrance yet and she wasn’t sure what to say or do.
Judy wasn’t supposed to be back at this Villa. She had made sure of it. She pinned the blame for Matt’s allergic reaction on Judy. How could her father be so careless and allow her to keep her job like this? She thought she finally got rid of Judy, but she returned looking stronger than ever. She clenched her fists at her side and glared at Judy, unblinking.
Judy eventually felt Irene’s stare and lifted her gaze to meet hers; her smile dropped into a concerned frown.
“Oh, hey, Irene,” Judy said, skeptically as she studied Irene’s furious face.
This got the other’s attention as well; Gavin looked up at his daughter and he also frowned.
“Irene,” he greeted, narrowing his eyes at her. “Everything okay?”
“Daddy, can I talk to you for a minute?” She asked through her teeth as she walked across the parlor and out the other door until she was in the hallway. Gavin reluctantly followed after her, shutting the door behind him. He folded his arms across his chest and watched as his daughter paced the hallway, her eyes fixed on the ground and her breathing heavily as she fought to maintain her temper.
“What’s this about?” Gavin finally asked after what felt like a lifetime of silence.
“How could you let that monster back into our home after what she had done??” Irene finally asked, stopping her pacing to glare at her father.
“Irene-”
“She almost killed Matthew! Does that mean nothing to you??” Irene continued, cutting off Gavin before he could explain himself.
“Irene, listen-”
