Chapter 0154
“I… I apologize,” Taylor said, lowering his gaze. “It was an oversight, and It won’t happen again. I’ll make sure it’s fixed by the end of today.”
“What good does that do me now??” Gavin asked, turning to face him fully, his eyes red with fury. “My son was poisoned, and we have no camera footage showing us who was responsible.”
“I’ll do what I can to investigate,” Taylor assured him “The good news is Matt is alive.”
“If I was a second later-”
“But you weren’t,” Taylor said, stopping his thought process. “You have to think on the positive side.”
Gavin’s back was tense, and he released a shuttering breath that shook his broad shoulders.
“Find out what you can,” Gavin said, after a beat of silence.
“Yes, sir,” Beta Taylor said, nodding. He glanced at me, giving me a wary look before retreating from the room, leaving me alone with a very fuming Gavin.
I wasn’t sure what to say; my entire body was trembling as I watched Gavin pace back and forth like he was on the hunt, and I was his prey. He was looking everywhere but me though and it unsettled me even more. The Gavin I was starting to know was nowhere to be found; now he was just a giant ball of fury, and it left me feeling sick to my stomach.
He finally paused and looked at me, his eyes shining with difference.
“You were careless with my son’s life,” he said through his teeth, his eyes narrowed.
“Gavin-”
“Alpha!” He roared.
I trembled and lowered my gaze.
. “Alpha…” I repeated, my voice coming out with a breathy whisper. “I don’t know what happened. I-”
“What happened was my son was fed peanut butter, and he had an allergic reaction. I trusted you to care. for him and you let me down.”
“No, I-”
“Are you telling me you did!
“Are you telling me you didn’t hand him the sandwich with peanut butter?”
“I’m saying I didn’t know there was peanut butter in it…” I said, tears spilling out of my cheeks.
He scoffed, curling his lips up in disgust and making the knot in my stomach tighten.
“I’m not very hungry,” I murmured.
She sighed and stepped into my room, shutting the door behind her.
“I know you are upset about this move,” she began gently. “But you have to understand, I’m doing what’s best for our family. Once your father is out of prison and we are back on our feet, we can get a new house and move out of the Cash family mansion. I just need you to be a little patent.”
As upset as I was about this move, it was nothing compared to how upset I was because of Gavins‘ distrust in me. I wanted to see Matt in the hospital… I called the hospital the other day and asked if he was awake and able to have visitors, but as soon as I gave them my name, they told me I wasn’t allowed to visit him and to not call again, right before they hung up on me.
Gavin won’t take any of my calls and Irene blocked my number completely. I was so lost… and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do.
“Come on, sweetie,” my mom said, putting her hand on my back. “Let’s get some food and then we can discuss what our lives will look like in the upcoming weeks.”
I knew what our lives were going to look like… they were going to look like hell.

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....
