Chapter 125: Irony (2)
A few months ago, she was travelling to another pack with Eve regarding a new project. It was a simple project,
and yet somehow Eve had made everything rather complicated. Inez looked at the pointers that the client had
asked her to change and felt her head throb.
‘Did you even listen to what the client asked you the first tyou went to see him?’ Inez asked. She felt
frustrated and angry as she had to do the entire thing from scratch. This was not about making a change in the
project. It was about changing the whole thing.
‘I did, Eve replied while studying her newly done nails.
Furious, Inez closed the file in her hands and turned to look at the woman beside her. She said to her, ‘No, you
didn’t! If you had, then | wouldn't have to change the entire damn thing. Do you even know how hard it is to
make designs, Evelyn? | am not your fairy godmother who can summon things out of thin air!’
However, the woman next to her simply rolled her eyes and then took out a lip plumper from her bag. She
pushed the wand two or three times in the vial and then said to Inez, "You are overreacting. Though | admit that |
may not have listened to exactly what that woman was yammering about, | did hear the gist of it.”
‘No, you didn’t! That woman wanted a bedroom prepared for her eight-year-old daughter and not an eighteen-
year-old. Which means that there was no need for the extra touch that you went ahead and added without
lettingknow,’ Inez hissed angrily. She wished she could turn back tand do this meeting on her own. That
would have been so much better.
If not for the reputation that they had, the client would have definitely lost this deal. Inez wondered if Evelyn
could even understand the importance of this deal. She turned to look at the woman who was studying her
reflection in her compact mirror, and Inez was certain that she didn’t.
‘Are you even listening to me?’ Inez asked with a hint of anger in her tone.
Evelyn rolled her eyes once again and then said to Inez, "Why are you getting angry? You will do it anyway, won't
you? So what's the point of wasting your tyelling at me? Use that to fix the fuck up that you made.”
"How the hell is this made my fuck up—’
The rest of her words cto a sudden halt as their car turned upside down with a bang. Inez could hear a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbuzzing in her ears. She tried to sit up when she heard the words of Luca, who was speaking to the driver, "Leave
her alone. She can beca bait, and we can get away from those bastards who are chasing us.”
When Inez heard Luca's heartless words, her eyes widened. The haze in her mind cleared up. She turned to look
at the man who was walking away with an injured Eve without looking behind. She was clearly just as injured as
Evelyn, maybe even more. So why was she left behind to becbait?
And the most unfortunate thing.
When she returned to the pack, no one praised her, nor did they ask her if she was injured after shaking off the
hyenas who were chasing after them.
"Inez?"
"Inez!"
Inez snapped out of her memories. She turned and looked at Selene, who was looking at her with a hint of
concern on her face. "Is everything alright?"
"Yes," Inez smiled at the woman. "I am sorry; | was just lost in thought."
"What kind of thoughts?" Killian asked with narrowed eyes.
"What if | die of poison once I finish eating this dish?" replied Inez as she turned to look at the man beside her.
Selene huffed. She handed the pot to Laxus and said to Inez, "I will leave the pot in the refrigerator. You can eat
it when you feel like it." Laxus didn’t even say a word as he took the pot from her and walked inside the lodge.
When Inez saw him leave, she couldn't help but feel that it was quite ironic that she was accepted in a place
where she didn’t even grow up. These people trusted her even though what she did was nothing. Yet her own
pack. Her friends. They didn’t even give her a chance; they blamed her for something that Inez knew she had
never done. They should have trusted her, as she had proven herself in front of them again and again.
"My grandmother has never been fond of outsiders for her own reasons. However, you will be an exception in her
eyes now. And please know that | will love you forever. If not for you, | would have lost the little tthat | have
gotten. To think that | would have died and that my grandmother would have blamed herself for this all her life."
Selene shuddered, and her eyes turned moist.
Killian stepped forward and patted
his sister on the head. Even though

Ricky scowled back at her and said, "I never —I am also worried about her, you know?"
"Worried?" Scarlet scoffed. She turned to look at Ricky and stated, "You had, like, years to show this concern of
yours, but you didn’t. Forgiveif | don’t believe your lies."
"Does it not bother you that Inez might die outside!?"
