Judy’s POV
“There you are! Come on, you need to catch up,” Irene said as she placed another shot in front of me. I sat at the bar and took the shot, wincing at the sting as it hit my throat. She chuckled at my expression before taking another shot herself. “God, I hate these parties,” she started to slur.
“Charity events?” I asked her, kind of surprised. These parties were in her element; I thought she loved dressing up and meeting up with other rich people.
“Anything that has to do with stuck up rich assholes,” she muttered, taking a sip of her wine and rolling her eyes. “I always hated this kind of thing.”
“I never knew that,” I told her. I felt the buzz of the alcohol making my head a bit cloudy. I looked around at my surroundings and saw how gorgeous everybody was; they were all mingling among themselves and laughing at stuff that probably wasn’t even all that funny.
My eyes found Gavin on the other side of the room, Rachel by his side. They were speaking to a few men in suits, men I didn’t recognize, but they looked as if they were all old friends… including Rachel. She was laughing at their chokes and putting her hand on their arms as she spoke, making the men blush and chuckle. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes; and the fact that Gavin just stood there and didn’t do anything about it for some reason annoyed me even more.
Like if he was going to be in a relationship with a woman, at least act like it.
I turned away from him before he caught me staring. Irene noticed the expression on my face and glanced over at her father.
“He’s so stupid sometimes,” she muttered, rolling her eyes for the hundredth time. “Take another shot with me and forget about him.”
She ordered another round; the bartender stared between the two of us for a moment, hesitating about pouring another round of shots. But Irene pulled out a giant wad of cash and slammed it on the counter, making his eyes widen. Without a word, he poured the shots and slid them in front of us.
Irene laughed when he walked away. She raised her glass to mine, and we clinked.
“To forgetting men,” she cheered a bit too loudly, making me cackle with laughter.
The tequila was definitely having an effect on me.
“You’re such a party pooper!” She complained, her words slurring on her tongue.
It took me a minute to register who she was talking to.
“Are you out of your mind, Irene?! You knew how important this event was, and you made a mockery of it,” Gavin’s voice rang through, echoing through the busy streets. “You owe Elana an apology once you sober up.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Irene said, rolling her eyes. “Sue me for having some fun and letting loose with my friend. Sorry that I don’t have a stick up my ass like the rest of these rich assholes.”
“You are out of line,” Gavin seethed.
“I got their coats,” another voice said from nearby. Everything was spinning and I was seconds away from losing everything I had eaten and drank; sweat started to form on my forehead, and my breathing came out in short gasps.

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....
