Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 867

Judy’s POV

“Straight to the point, I see… that’s what I always liked about you, Miss Montague,” Levi laughed.

My gut twisted, but I kept my expression neutral.

“I’m not here for small talk,” I tell him. “I’m here to find out about Meg Churchill. I know she’s still alive, but she’s been deemed missing. I also know that you’ve visited her at the hospital before.”

His smile slowly faded. That alone told me I was right.

Levi leaned back in his chair, the chains on his wrists clinking softly against the metal table. He studied me the way someone studies a chessboard, deciding which piece to sacrifice.

“You’re much sharper than I remembered,” he murmured.

“Don’t change the subject,” I said through my teeth; I didn’t particularly like talking to the man who had used and betrayed me and I wanted this conversation to be over sooner than later.

“Alright, fine,” Levi said, rolling his eyes. “You are no fun. Yes, I went to see Meg at the hospital a few times for different reasons. Periodically, I have to sign a consent form to keep her on life support. Without my updated signature, they’d pull the plug.”

“Meg is on life support?” I asked, disbelief in my tone. “What happened to her?”

“She’s been on the run for a long time, and just when she was about to be caught… she got into a car accident. Almost killed herself, but my family had managed to put her on life support to preserve her body.”

My heart sank in my chest; she was in an accident? Was it right before she gave away Lila?

“Why would you keep her there for all these years and not tell anyone?” I asked, “Were you hiding her?”

“She was a disgrace to our family,” Levi said, rolling his eyes. “She could never just follow the rules and play her part. She’s made plenty of enemies… those who want her gone.”

“Then why keep her alive for all these years? Why not just pull the plug and let her die if she was such a disgrace?” I asked, shaking my head as this information sank in. It didn’t make any sense for them to keep her alive if they hated her so much.

They clearly didn’t want Meg in their lives.

“Because of the curse,” Levi muttered. “If it weren’t for the curse, she would have been dead a long time ago.”

“What curse?”

“You ask a lot of questions, but I think it’s time for you to do something for me if you want me to talk more about this,” Levi said, a smirk appearing on his lips.

“You want me to break a curse that I don’t even know about?” I asked, raising my brows.

He rolled his eyes.

“Don’t be daft,” he muttered. “I will tell you about the curse… but in exchange… I need you to break it.”

“You’ll have to give me some time to figure out how to break it,” I told him. “I’m not even sure how to use these magic powers.”

“I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I need your word that you’ll try whatever you can to break this curse,” he said, his eyes meeting and holding mine. “I need to be able to trust you with this.”

I stared at him for a moment longer before I nodded my head.

“You have my word,” I told him. I wasn’t sure how he knew I was serious and wouldn’t back out, but the look of satisfaction crossed his face, and he nodded.
