Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 470

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.
