Chapter 464

Third Person POV

Irene had never seen her father so angry at her before. For a second, she feared that he might actually banish her. She was surprised when he didn't. She nearly got Matt killed and then tried to frame one person while unintentionally framing another. Or at least caused someone to get fired, banished, and potentially killed.

She had been sitting with the guilt for weeks after it had happened, but now she felt even more guilty after her father found out the truth and spent hours reprimanding her for her careless actions. She had been avoiding Matt since it happened, but she knew she couldn't keep walking around like nothing had happened.

After spending most of the day and night in her room, she left and walked down the hallway the next morning. It was late morning; Irene went straight to Matt's room. There was a chance he was still sleeping. She knocked on his door.

After a minute, the door opened, and Matt stood before her with curious eyes. It wasn't often that Irene came to his room for no reason.

"Hey," she said a bit awkwardly. "Can we talk for a minute?"

He stepped aside for her to enter.

"Sure," he replied, motioning for one of his chairs.

She sat down and fiddled with her fingers while he climbed onto his bed. Once he was settled, he looked at her, waiting for her to speak. For a long while, she wasn't sure what to say. How could she possibly tell him that she nearly got him killed and tried to blame Judy for it? He was never going to forgive her once he learned the truth, but he had to know. It would be a lot worse if he found out from someone else.
