Chapter 550

Graham:

“What are you trying to say? Are you admitting that you fucking cheated on me?” Kaylee demanded, immediately bombarding me with questions.

I should have waited until she was out of the sight before speaking with my father.

I wanted immediate action, not someone delaying it.

“Kaylee, will you please shut the fuck up? I need to speak with my father,” I yelled at her, slamming my hand on the table and making the dishes rise and fall back into place.

“What is there to tell? Are you going to play it out for me now?” my father snapped, clearly upset that I was once again telling him something I had done that might get us in trouble.

“If you would just let me speak, I will explain what happened,” I groaned tiredly, watching the two of them stare at me.

Kaylee was already in tears.

Honestly, I did not care about her anymore.

The only problem was that her complaining to the council that I had cheated on her could get me in trouble.

Previously, she had not complained about it.

That was why I had gotten off the hook so easily.

But now things were not going very well between us, so it could put me in serious trouble.

“Fine, tell me what happened. How did you end up in this situation?” my father asked.

While Kaylee buried her face in her hands and started to cry, I began explaining.

“I went over to her place to talk about her crimes. I told her I knew she had been speaking with Sherry about me, trying to convince her to play faulty news about me and all that.”

As I continued speaking, I reached for a glass of water and took a sip for dramatic effect.

My father looked tired, like he already suspected I was spinning some story.

Kaylee slowly removed her hands from her face and looked at me, judgment clear in her eyes.

“And then she offered me a drink,” I continued.

“She said we should talk after we relaxed because she was getting anxious and all that shit. So I took the drink,” I mumbled, nervously rubbing my skin.

That part was not me trying to act.

I was genuinely anxious because I did not want to look like a bad person, and I did not know how convincing my lie would be.

All I knew was that if I spoke about it first, I would be the one everybody believed. Besides, Yuvonne had a very bad reputation. Nobody was going to believe her.

“As soon as I finished the drink, I began to feel like my head was no longer in place.

I started seeing stars, and I did not know what was happening.” As I pushed, I watched Kaylee’s eyes widen.

“I became so numb,” I said softly, putting both my hands behind my head.

“Wait, did she drug you?” Kaylee asked softly, her voice shaking.

Before I could respond, my father slammed his hand on the table, and I snapped my head up in shock.

“Enough, Graham. That is enough,” my father grunted, yelling as tears spilled down his face.

“Do you not see what has happened to our family?” he demanded, making my eyes widen.

I did not expect him to react this way, especially when a fool like Kaylee believed

me.

“Father, I am not lying. It really happened. I was numb. I could not even stop myself or think right.”

I had to be emotional now. I realized that maybe it was becoming redundant.

I could not play the victim every time.

And that was exactly what my father said.

“You know what people will think? If an Alpha keeps getting fooled so many times,

maybe he is not eligible to be an Alpha at all,” my father shouted.

Kaylee leaned back in her chair.

The initial expression of worry on her face had disappeared.

“Fine. I am telling you right now that I am not lying. And yeah, you are right. I made a mistake. I should not have trusted that witch.” I sniffled, removing the invisible tears from my cheeks.

“After I drank that thing, I could not believe what happened. But then woke up to a video on my phone it was like a threat.” I sighed with my eyes closed.

“How would I deny that video? I was drunk. I was just going along with whatever she wanted me to do,” I screamed.

“Do you not remember that she had planned to ruin my reputation?”

As I said those words, my father started to relax again.

Not in a way that meant he was okay with the situation, but in a way that showed he believed me, at least a little.

Thankfully, Yuvonne had previously said so much nonsense about me that people would automatically believe she had something to do with drugging me.

“Why are you telling us now? Why

did you not say anything to her before my fathe

questioned

looking slightly calmer, like someone

I could actually speak with

“That is because she has told Madeline everything, and now I am afraid they will

complain to the council and make me look like a bad person.”

As soon as I said that, Kaylee slapped her forehead while my father began shaking

his head in frustration.

“Why the heck did you have to go to her home? Did you not know she is so

cunning?” my father complained, burying his face in his hands.

“Why do you keep accusing me? Let’s just talk about how we are going to resolve

this matter,” I said tiredly.

My father folded his arms on the table and grunted.

“I am so tired of all this,” he muttered.

“This will be the last time we do this. Next time, you are going to stay away from

Yuvonne,” he whispered.

“And because you are the victim, I think we should go to the council first.”

He admitted the same thing I had already planned in my mind.
