Chapter 163

Chapter 0163 Judy’s POV My stomach was growling angrily. I hadn’t eaten much other than scraps in days. When Kelsey came to get me and told me to come to the dining hall, I thought I was going to finally get some decent food. But I was sorely disappointed when I saw that they had already eaten and left not even a single morsel.

All that was left were their dirty plates and empty wine glasses.

She gave the maids the night off and she expected me o clean the entire mess by myself, while she watched like some kind of creep.

She ridiculed me the entire time.

I grabbed a large tray and started to pile up some of the glasses and plates on the tray. Just as I walked past her and towards the kitchen, she stuck her foot out, making me fall to the ground and shatter most of the plates and glasses. One of the glass chunks sliced through my finger and I hissed in pain as I saw blood pooling in my palm..

“So, fucking clumsy!” Kelsey hissed. “Look what you did!”

“You were the one who tripped me,” I murmured as I cradled my injured hand. She swung her hand so fast; I didn’t even see it coming. But I felt the sting of the slap and I bit my lip from the force. I tasted blood in my mouth from splitting my lip open.

Why was this happening to me? What had I done to deserve this??

“Awe, are you going to cry now?” Kelsey asked, folding her arms across her chest. “Get over yourself. Nobody is coming to your rescue, especially not your weak ass mother.”

I lifted my gaze and stared at her through my tear–filled eyes.

“Don’t you dare speak about my mother like that,” I said, my tone coming out shaky. I knew if I truly wanted to, I could easily beat the crap out of Kelsey. But I couldn’t because of my mother... she would never forgive me if I ruined this for her.

I felt so helpless at this moment. The pain in my hand stung even worse as Kelsey laughed.

“You are nothing but a useless bitch! Only good for being a slave and cleaning up after my family’s meal. How does it feel to be a nobody?”

Just then, the door of the dining hall burst open, and Kelsey staggered back when she saw the intruder.

“What is the meaning of this?!” A familiar roar echoed through the room. My entire body stilled upon. haring his voice.

I lifted my gaze, and I was stunned to see Gavin standing before me. Anger was rolling off him in waves as he glared daggers at Kelsey. His Lycan aura shining brighter than his Alpha aura. He was pissed and he was about to make everyone in this house knows it.

“A... Alpha,” Kesley stammered, suddenly looking like a weak child. “I was just... I was...

“She’s hurt a and you’re ridiculing her,” Gavin hissed; it wasn’t a question, just an observation. “Why is +25 BONUS Chapter 0163 she on the ground with glass all around her?”

“I... uh...” Kelsey stammered, her face growing redder by the second. “She tripped and fell. I was just about to help her up.”

She bent down to grab my arm but stopped suddenly when Gavin roared loudly, shaking the entire manor and nearly knocking her off her feet in the process.

“Do not touch her!” Gavin growled.

Even I was shivering from his anger; he was truly fierce and terrifying when he wanted to be.

“What’s going on in here?” Raymond asked as he ran into the room. When he saw me on the ground, his eyes darkened with fury and he looked as if he was about to say something degrading towards me, but Gavin spoke first.

“Is this how you raise your daughter? To treat your house guests with disrespect??” Gavin growled, turning his anger towards Raymond.

Raymond paled upon hearing Gavin’s question.

“What? No, of course not. I-”

“Tell me why your daughter thinks it’s okay to treat anyone like this!” Gavin said, pointing down at me. Raymond glanced at me and then at Kesley who was now shaking in the corner. I wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole.

Once again, the door swung open.

Gavin’s POV “Kelsey?” Meredith asked as she walked into the room.

“Mom!” Kelsey cried as she ran towards her and wrapped her arms around her mother, sobbing. “She pushed me first. I was only cleaning the dishes, and she told me that she could do it better. She grabbed the tray of plates and glasses out of my hands and fell in the process. I didn’t mean for her to get hurt!”

“Of course you didn’t sweetheart,” Meredith cooed her daughter. “All will be okay. Your father will sort it out.”

“See, Alpha. It’s only a misunderstanding.”

I stared down at Judy who had tears in her eyes; she could barely look at me and my stomach tightened. I needed to get her out of here.

Kelsey clearly had them wrapped around her finger, but I wasn’t a fool. I knew she was lying. I sent a mindlink to Beta Taylor and ordered him to get me the security footage of the dining hall. I shoved my way through the dining hall and stopped when I reached Judy.
