Judy’s POV
“What do you mean she’s working against your family? I know she’s been talking to Ethan behind your back, but does that mean she’s working with him?” Gavin asked, his voice being reasonable.
When Nan sent me that photo of Ethan and Sammy talking in the coffee shop, I showed it to Gavin around that same time.
“Tabby and some of the others are back at the mansion,” I explained. “They came here to tell me that they suspect Sammy is some kind of spy.”
“That’s a serious accusation,” he said, his tone darkening as his brows furrowed. He studied my face for a long while, trying to detect a hint of deception.
“Since she’s been here, I’ve noticed that Sammy has been acting strangely. Secret phone calls, disappearing at all hours, sketchy behavior…”
“What kind of sketchy behavior?”
I nibbled on my lower lip.
“I caught her snooping through my things the other night,” I told him. “Things like that…”
His eyes darkened at my words, and I could tell he was not only pondering this information but trying hard to control himself.
“I was so busy with the competition that I didn’t notice those things a few weeks ago,” I continued. “But Tabby had noticed. Her, Sherry, and Chuck are from the same pack, and they’ve grown closer since the competition. She’s been confiding in Sherry about Sammy’s strange behavior, and because Sherry works as an investigator for the pack, she agreed to help Tabby look more into it once the competition ended.”
Gavin listened, nodding along with each word I said, his eyes growing darker by the second. He didn’t like what he was hearing so far.
“Why is this being brought to my attention just now?” Gavin asked, his eyes searching mine.
“Because I’m just finding out about it now,” I told him honestly. “Tabby hadn’t mentioned any of this to me until today. It’s why she’s here. They agreed to look more into Sammy after the competition, and they were true to their word. They looked more into her.”
“Did they find out anything?” Gavin finally asked after a beat of silence. “Something useful?”
“When I met Sammy at the airport on our way to the competition, she mentioned that her boyfriend was competing, and she was going to support him. He was in a different group from me, so I never got to meet him. I was so focused on competing that I never noticed any strange behavior. But Tabby and Sherry found out that he didn’t exist. She never had a boyfriend there. She was there for something else, and I don’t think it was a coincidence that Ethan was also there, and now Sammy is here. I think she’s working for him, Gavin…”
“Okay, calm down,” Gavin said when he detected the panic in my voice. His voice was oddly calming, and his gaze softened. “Whatever she is after, I’m not going to let it happen. I need you to trust me; can you do that?”
I nodded without hesitation.
“Yes, of course,” I whispered. “I trust you.”
A small smile tipped the corner of his lips, the tough and dangerous façade fading only slightly before it was snapped back into place.
He released his hold on my face, making me feel cold for a moment. He grabbed his phone and swiped across the screen before putting the phone to his ear.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
