Chapter 31: this girl is not at fault
Tricia’s POV
“I told her to clean the flour on the floor, but she slapped me instead?” She said, and a low sob escaped her lips.
I widened my eyes in error. Everyone here seems to be scheming–that appears to be their talent. So she was trying to lie against me? Right before my
“What did you do for her to slap you?” Lyra asked. Her eyes shot daggers at Ella
“And will you please let the Alpha talk to himself? Emily interrupted, just as expected How Sue will support Ella at all costs.
But who cares?
“I mistakenly spilled some flour on the floor. I asked her politely to clean it since she was mopping the floor then. She got furious and slapped me instead. “Tears rolled down her cheeks as the word escaped her lips.
“But I’m sorry. I know I’m at fault for everything that happened. She must be tired. That was why she got furks and slapped me. I know I deserved the slap,” she said softly. Her voice could barely meet a whisper. She looked so pititul right now, and one couldn’t help but pity her.
She looks like the victim while I’m the bully here. I balled my hand into a fist.
So, this is what she was trying to do by taking the blame to make me look bad, huh?
In tarnishes my reputation. Of course, t there is no way I’m letting this slide.
I raised my head. Iam appearing more confident than I am.
“Since you know you deserved the slap, I guessed one won’t be enough.” My voice echoed through the place, loud enough for everyone to hear.
I lifted my arm and landed her a resounding slap. I slapped her with all my might without holding back.
My palm was visible on her fair check
This took everyone off guard. I can see shock written all over their face.
“This is for slapping me first.”
1 landed another slap on her cheek.
“This is for lying, ”
“Smack”
“This is for manipulating the situation and making me look bad”
“Smack
“Since I’m the bully here. Then I will slap you till I’m satisfied.
I landed another slap on her cheek, which caused her to lose her balance and fall. My hand was already hurt, but who cares?.
Her cheeks were swollen and red like tomatoes. She looked like an ugly duckling right now. I had the urge to laugh at her face, but I retrained myself from doing su
There was a pin drop silent in the dining hall, and no one uttered a single word.
Tears walled up in her eyes, and she found it hard to hold it back. She let it flow down her face freely.
A satisfactory smile formed on my lips.
“You can punish me afterward,” announced. I know I will be punished for what I did, but I’m well prepared for it. The Alpha is surely mad at me for caming a scene in front of him.
I moved my gaze to him, but he was expressionless. He was staring at me as if he were watching an exciting drama. I could not tell what he was thinking, whether he was mad at the or not.
I wondered how someone could hide their feelings this well.
“How dare you cause a
a scene are in front of everyone.”
Emily was the first to react. She yelled at me angrily.
I took a lazy glance at her. I strered and moved my gaze away from the idiot.
“Well I don’t think what did was bad though.” Heard a deep, unfamiliar man’s voice, and I widened my eyes in shock
All heads turned to where the voice was coming from, and I also directed my gaze to its owner.
A man was standing at the door, leaning in the doorframe lazily,
He had dirty brown hair and brown eyes. Ye also exuded a cold aura, but not as intimidating as Lucian’s. He was handsome, but Lucian’s beauty was
Incomparable.
Holy crap
is art is not at fault
I
I must be insane. Why am I comparing him to Lucian? He was staring right into my eyes, but unlike Lucian, I was able to look at this man in the eyes.
I am sure this is my very first time seeing him, but why is he supporting me?
I could not tell, but judging from his dress, I could tell he was also from the royal family. Everything was screaming luxury.
The corner of his lips suddenly curved upward… Forming a smirk.
He stood straight and walked further into the room. If I was correct, he was coming in my direction. His eyes never leave mine for once
But I could feel a cold glare at my back, forcing me. I turned around to see who was glaring at me.
My eyes met Lucian’s, and I quickly averted my gaze away from him.
“Due to what I saw and what I heard. This girl is not at fault.” He pointed his index finger at me.
The corner of my lips curved upward slightly. A grin almost broke on my face
“Thank you, your highness?” I said, bowing to him politely.
“You don’t need to be polite. Drop the formalities. My name is Damien.” He stretched out his hand for a handshake. The smile. On his handsome face, he never disappeared for once
“That’s enough.” Lucian’s cold voice echoed through the room, and we all directed our gazes to him.
He was practically glaring at him. His gaze on me made me feel uncomfortable.
“We are not here to introduce each other. The maids should leave this place and continue to prepare breakfast instead. It is already getting late.”
A small smile crept on my face…. So I was not going to have him punished? This is indeed a good thing
I am sure Miss Mary, Emily, and the bitch would be fuming in anger by now.
I raised my head, and my gaze met Emily’s. Just as expected. Her eyes were shooting daggers at me.
I am sure she would pounce on me and heat the crap out of me if she was given a chance.
“We will take our leave now.” Miss Mary announced, and we all made our way to the door.
My eyes fell on Lyra, and I saw her smiling at me. Probably, she was happy about how I handled the case. I was not punished, and I gotta hit this bitch as well.
It’s such an outstanding achievement.
The smile on Miss Mary fell immediately after we were out of the dining hall.
“I am sure you are happy now that you did not get punished.” She spat out coldly, clearly showing her annoyance with me.
I raised my head, and my eyes met Ella’s. If a look could kill, then I would be dead by now.
She was looking at me as if she should skin me alive. This pleased me a lot, though.
I moved my gaze to Miss Mary and smiled. “No one would be happy if they got punished,” I replied and shrugged my shoulders.
