The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 179

Chapter 0179 Third Person POV Irene was in the kitchen grabbing a bite to eat when she heard giggling in the parlor .

She frowned and started towards the entryway .

Its 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 couldnt 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 Irenes stomach twist and turn as she glared at the scene in front of her .

Nobody noticed her entrance yet and she wasnt sure what to say or do .

Judy wasnt supposed to be back at this Villa .

She had made sure of it .

She pinned the blame for Matts 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 Irenes stare and lifted her gaze to meet hers ; her smile dropped into a concerned frown .

Oh , hey , Irene , Judy said , skeptically as she studied Irenes furious face .

This got the others 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 .

Whats 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 .

W … what do you mean ? She stammered .

I mean , she didnt do anything wrong , he repeated .

One of the maids confessed to the crime .

She wanted compensation for helping me save his life .

I banned her from the pack and turned her into a rogue .

Her mouth fell open as she stared at him .

A … a maid confessed ? She asked , her voice becoming small .

Irene had no idea how a maid could confess to such a crime when she knew for a fact that the maid had nothing to do with anything .

She didnt do this … Irene was the one who put the peanut butter in the sandwich .

She knew the kitchen camera was broken and there was no actual evidence against her or the maid … but somehow , the maid confessed to the crime .

Did the maid somehow know it was Irene , and she was trying to protect her ? Or maybe she was trying to protect Judy .

A pit of jealousy formed in the middle of Irenes stomach .

Why would a maid go to great lengths to protect Judy ? Was Judy really that much better than Irene ? Or maybe Judy blackmailed the maid into taking the fall so she could get her job back and return to seduce Ethan .
