The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 158

Chapter 0158 Third Person POV What do you mean you found the perpetrator ? Gavin asked through the mindlink .

He glanced at Matt who was still lost in thought .

Had he lied to him ? Matt has never lied before … has he ? It was a maid , Taylor continued .

She was found with the peanut butter in her room .

The same maid that came to get you after his allergic reaction .

She admitted she wanted compensation for aiding his rescue .

Compensation ? Gavin growled into the mindlink .

want her banished from the pack and turned into a rogue immediately .

Yes , Alpha , Taylor agreed .

Do you want to see her before shes banished .

Gavin thought about it for a second and then sighed .

No , he murmured .

Just get rid of her .

Yes , Alpha .

The link ended and Gavin turned back to Matt , his eyes narrowed .

Why did you lie to me? Matt raised his gaze to look at Gavin and a frown formed on his lips .

I didnt lie to you … Matt said , unconvincingly .

Yes , you did , Matthew , Gavin said , folding his arms across his chest .

Because you werent the one who put the peanut butter in that sandwich … it was a maid .

Matts eyes grew wide .

What ? He gasped .

Why would a maid want to hurt me ?? Thats not for you to worry about .

Just know itll never happen again .

Shes being banished and Ill have the other maids investigated as well .

Matt glanced at his hands and tugged his fingers nervously as he processed all his father had said .

You shouldnt have lied to me , Matt … Gavin said , his voice twinged with disappointment .

Im sorry , Dad … I just couldnt let Judy get in trouble , he said sadly , tears welling up in his eyes .

Gavin was quiet , processing his words for a moment .

So, if it truly was Judys mistake , you still would have covered for her ? He finally asked .

Without hesitation , Matt nodded .

Yes , he answered .

Judys POV You look exhausted , Nan pointed out as she met me in the student quad .

I stared down at my failed test and let out a sigh .

I didnt have time to study for this exam because of how much work Ive been doing for the Cash family .

Is living with the Cashs that bad ? I gave her a pointed look .

Its worse than bad , I murmured .

Ive only been there for a couple of days , and I havent slept once .

Im so sorry , Judy , Nan said , resting her head on my shoulder .

I wish there was something I could do .

Ive been looking around for a place for you , but nobody has any spare rooms .

Its okay , I murmured .

Its not your fault .

Im honestly grateful that youve been trying .

Its not fair that they are working you like a dog , Nan said , folding her arms across her chest .

You have a life too and school you need to focus on .
