Chapter 0134
Judy’s POV
“You are such trash, Judy Montague. Why the hell are you at my family’s barbeque?” Kelsey asked, folding her arms across her busty chest, her pink lips gressed into a thin line as she glared at me.
“If I remember correctly, the entire pack is invited, Kelsey. So, what’s the problem?” I asked her, narrowing my eyes. I wasn’t going to let her bully me, especially because I was only there as a favor to Irene. I didn’t need to deal with Kelsey right now,
“That doesn’t include you, Slut,” she barked.
Was she seriously calling me the slut when Ethan was the one who left me for someone else? It wasn’t the other way around so I’m not sure what she’s insinuating
“It’s pathetic that you just let
showed your face here. Trying to beg Ethan to return to you? Can’t you him go and let him be happy? He found someone worthy of his time and love. Irene fits in perfectly with our family. We’ve only known her for a little bit, but she’s already the perfect sister–in–law.”
“I’m not here to beg for Ethan,” I murmured. “I’m only here to support my friend.”
“Yeah right,” Kelsey said mockingly. “I highly doubt you are here to support anyone but yourself. You are pathetic, Judy.”
“What’s going on?” Ethan asked as he stepped beside his sister. “You aren’t making trouble again, are you Kels?” He asked her.
She frowned up at him and narrowed her icy blue eyes.
“Of course not, Ethan. I’m only looking out for you. I’m not letting this bitch weasel her way back into your life when you have fully moved on from her,” she said sourly.
Ethan sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
“I don’t need you to look out for me. I’m more than capable of doing so myself,” he assured her.
She rolled her eyes.
“I’m your sister; it’s my job to protect you,” she complained.
“You are my little sister,” he reminded her. “Please, don’t make any more trouble for yourself or for me.”
She scowled at him but before she could say anything, Irene intervened.
“Kelsey was only doing what she thought was right,” trene said gently, shocking me. Was she seriously standing up for Kelsey after what she had said to me? I thought Irene wanted me here because I was her friend, but the way she had Kelsey’s‘ back was making me doubt my friendship with her.
He wrapped an arm around Irene’s shoulder and pulled her close. She snuggled against him as he kissed the side of her face, his eyes flickering over to me for a moment, making my blood run cold. I shifted in my shoes uncomfortably, trying to avoid his eyes though I could feel them burning a hole in the side of my face.

“I want to introduce you to some friends,” he murmured to him.
She nodded and then glanced at me.
“I’ll see you momentarily,” she told me.
I nodded, forcing a smile as she walked away with Ethan’s hand in hers. He gave me one last look before turning his attention to the group of friends across the yard.
“Judy?” I heard a familiar voice in close proximity. I turned to see Meredith Cash walking towards me. She had a frown on her lips and when she paused in front of me, her perfectly trimmed brows were raised. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here this evening.”
“She wants to get back with Ethan, so she showed up, Kelsey sald with a scowl.
“Is that so?” Meredith asked, her eyes never left mine. “Well, I’m afraid that’s not going to happen. My Ethan is much happier with his fiancé. Irene is such a doll, and she fits into our family way better than you ever did.”
“That’s what I’ve been telling her,” Kelsey said, a smirk on her pink lips. “In comparison to Irene, Judy is nothing.”
I opened my mouth to say something in my defense, but I wasn’t sure what I could say. They’ve always been like this towards me for as long as I’ve known them. It didn’t make any sense to me; I had no idea why they hated me so much. I honestly think it was because they’ve always been intimidated by my family and have been waiting for our downfall so they could come out on top. But now that they are on top, they think it’s appropriate to snub us and make us feel as if we are nothing but trash.
My heart twisted; Ethan was my fated mate…. I was the one who was wronged by their son. Yet, they don’t seem to see it like this. It was a cruel reminder to both me and my wolf that we don’t belong in this family and we never would. Even if Ethan accepted me as his mate, it would always be like this.
“Irene is very rich, and her father is insanely famous, Meredith went on to boast. “I can’t believe my Ethan is marrying into the Landry family. Which means our families are now connected. This couldn’t have worked out more perfectly.”
“Not to mention Alpha Gavin Landry is so hot,” Kelsey purred, making my insides twist.
“Kelsey, that’s enough. He’s old enough to be your father,” Meredith chuckled. “We invited him to the party, as we do every year. I wonder if he’ll show up this time because his daughter is here. I can’t wait to officially meet him and make our debut in his family. We are going to be the most popular family in the country.”
