Chapter 123: Getting Back At Wanda

Meredith.

I didn’t think it was a warning glance, but I was really curious as to why she was a little aggressive.

Dennis withdrew his hand, his brows knitting in slight confusion.

Azul used the white handkerchief and gently swiped my cheek.

"My lady, you had a seed on your cheek. But I’ve taken it off now," she explained.

Dennis smiled at Azul before dropping his gaze on me.

"Yes. And I was about to make fun of you."

Azul finally stepped away, but I was unsettled.

Right as I started to suspect a foul play, Dennis asked, "What about dinner?"

"I will be there," I confirmed. If not for anything, there was someone in particular I have to deal with this.

Dennis chatted with me for a few minutes before leaving.

As soon as I stepped into the dining room, I felt Wanda’s gaze on me. It was curious at first, so when I met her eyes, she narrowed them and looked away.

I couldn’t bother with her and went on to settle down on my chair.

When Draven arrived, he didn’t wait for us to rise to our feet before gesturing that we forget the courtesy today.

Dinner was served.

As I enjoyed my grilled pork cutlets, I remembered Wanda and immediately got started with the confrontation.

"Today, a letter from my grandmother arrived. But on receiving it, I discovered that it had already been opened."

Then my gaze dropped on Wanda as soon as I got everyone’s attention.

"Miss Fellowes, I learned that you had gone through my personal letter first, before passing it down to one of my maidservants."

I watched the confusion on her face turn to surprise and then back to confusion.

She was acting like she didn’t know what I was talking about. But I’m going to let everyone know that I wasn’t accusing her.

"Azul here said..." I pointed to Azul who was standing in the row with the servers, and I made sure they could hear my voice as well, then, I continued.

"You handed the letter to her. So, what I want to know is very simple. Is this one of the rules in this house for you to read others personal letters before handing them down, or is this rule only applied to me ?"

As soon as I asked the question, Draven dropped his cutlery on his plate with a clang before turning to glance at Wanda.

Wanda met his gaze and quickly swallowed hard. She looked afraid and quickly turned to me.

I bet, not even in her wildest dreams did she think I would confront her for her actions, and that too, in front of everyone.

She was really sleeping on me.

"I guess a busybody will always remain a busybody," Dennis mumbles to our hearing before forking a piece of pork onto his mouth.

He didn’t spare Wanda a glance, but she did throw a glance his way.

Draven’s brows furrowed tightly. "Wanda, is that true? Did you go through Meredith’s letter?"

Silence travelled through the dining hall.

No one spoke, no one ate. All eyes were pressed on Wanda.

Wanda looked between me and Draven for a few moments before bowing to the pressure. She fixed her gaze on me.

"Yes, I did that. But that’s because no one here apart from Dra—the Alpha, gets letters. So, I needed to make sure the letter sent to you wasn’t anything harmful. That’s all."

Wanda started her explanation and finished in a heartbeat.

"You keep disappointing me time and time again," Draven said with bitterness laced in his tone.

This made me realize that he must really value Wanda for him to be disappointed by her actions.

Wanda bowed her head in shame and didn’t have the courage to meet Draven’s eyes. But if course, he wasn’t done with her yet.

"I can send you back home with two warriors if you are tired of focusing solely on your duty here and want to return to Stormveil."

As long as I was concerned, that wasn’t a suggestion. A threat lay beneath that statement.

But if I wasn’t wise like I was now, I would never have known this fact. I would have thought he was being soft on his childhood friend.

Wanda lifted her gaze immediately. Her eyes, filled with shock. She looked afraid, confirming my deductions about the threat.

She quickly apologized to Draven, claiming she would never repeat the mistake, but he pointed at me and said, "She is the one you offended, not me."

In other sense, he was asking her to apologize to me.

Wanda slowly turned her gaze to me. Luckily for her, I wasn’t cocky, so there wasn’t any sign of mockery or triumph on my lips.

"I apologize to you. I didn’t mean to offend you with my actions."

Sincerity flashed across Wanda’s eyes, but I refused to buy it.

This woman was too evil to mean any word she just said to me.

The apology was just for Draven.

As everyone picked up their cutlery and continued to eat, my gaze lingered on Draven.

I don’t know if he was just oblivious to his childhood friend’s petty and ruthless actions, he was aware, but for some sort of reason, he couldn’t act.

Perhaps, was there something Wanda was holding unto him for?

I finished my first plate of food and without requesting for another one, the server stepped forward and refilled my plate with only grilled pork, leaving the lettuce leaves aside.

Unlike the others who wrapped each piece of their meat with a lettuce leaves before eating, I barely touched my vegetable and focused solely on eating just the protein.

"Eat your pork with the vegetable." Draven pointed his fork at me while gesturing towards my plate and then to my face.

I didn’t see how any of this was his business, but Dennis’s explanation had me listening to Draven’s instruction.

"There is a high chance of you getting super hungry in the middle of the night if you eat just protein. So, you have to support it with something."
