I knew it was now or never , I needed to ask her the question weighing on my mind .<\/p>\n
1 What exactly did you see earlier , Irene ? I asked .<\/p>\n
You said you saw Judy shooting him ? She nodded and turned to face the .<\/p>\n
She did it on purpose .<\/p>\n
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair .<\/p>\n
I knew Judy and I knew she would never hurt spite .<\/p>\n
She wouldnt do that , I murmured , shaking my head .<\/p>\n
Irene folded her arms across her chest and glared at me .<\/p>\n
She cant be trusted , Daddy , Irene stated simply .<\/p>\n
What do you have against Judy ? She blinked a few times like she was trying to adjust her eyes .<\/p>\n
What ? She asked .<\/p>\n
Matt , especially out of You used to be friends , I reminded her .<\/p>\n
Then you found out shes mated with your fianc\u00e9 .<\/p>\n
That cant be all that happened .<\/p>\n
What do you have against her ? She was never my friend , Irene murmured .<\/p>\n
She lied to me and betrayed me .<\/p>\n
Her only crime was not telling you the truth about her and Ethans past .<\/p>\n
She still wants him \u2026 Irene complained .<\/p>\n
Ethan told me that- Ethan also lied to you , Irene , I told her firmly .<\/p>\n
If you are to be mad at Judy , then you should be just as mad at him as well .<\/p>\n
Its not fair to her that you are treating her like she did something wrong .<\/p>\n
She didnt want to hurt you , thats why she didnt tell you .<\/p>\n
Theres nothing more to the story than that .<\/p>\n
But \u2026 she tried to say , but I held up my hand .<\/p>\n
I need you to lay off her , Irene , I said , narrowing my eyes at my daughter .<\/p>\n
Its not healthy for either of you to keep this grudge going .<\/p>\n
Matt was injured badly- That wasnt my fault ! She said quickly .<\/p>\n
Im not saying it was , but for right now , we need to start thinking about him and not about our selfishness , I told her .<\/p>\n
Do you think you can get over yourself for the sake of your brother ? Hes going to need you these next few weeks while Im gone , and Id like to leave knowing your head is in the right place .<\/p>\n
She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and stared at the ground .<\/p>\n
She said nothing for a while , but then she sighed and nodded Okay , she whispered .<\/p>\n
So , tell me .<\/p>\n
What did you see ? I asked again , hoping her answer would be different this time .<\/p>\n
She was quiet for a moment , still fixing her eyes on the ground but then she lifted her gaze to look at mine , tears filling her blue eyes .<\/p>\n
It was a mistake , she whispered .<\/p>\n
Judy was the one who pulled the bow back and shot the arrow into his leg , but she was looking at the target .<\/p>\n
Her timing was off \u2026 I dont think she would hurt him on purpose .noveldrama<\/p>\n
12 Chapter 0261 I sighed and nodded ; I needed to speak to Judy and make sure she was okay .<\/p>\n
Now that I knew with certainty that Matt was okay , my anger was subsiding and now all I felt was worried .<\/p>\n
It was strange , but it was bubbling inside me and seconds away from boiling over .<\/p>\n
Im going to sleep now .<\/p>\n
Goodnight , Irene said as she left the parlor .<\/p>\n
I grabbed my phone and dialed Judys number .<\/p>\n
It went straight to voicemail ; that didnt surprise me .<\/p>\n
So , I called Leroy instead .<\/p>\n
I knew he must have taken her home .<\/p>\n
Hello , Alpha , Leroy greeted me on the other end .<\/p>\n
Leroy , I replied .<\/p>\n
Has Judy made it home ? Yes , Leroy said .<\/p>\n
But then she left again .<\/p>\n
What do you mean she left ? I asked , my wolf officially on edge again .<\/p>\n
I mean she got into another car , and it drove off .<\/p>\n
