Chapter 0178
“I would never do that, Judy,” she told me. “You can trust me.”
I knew she was right and that I could trust her, so I relaxed in my seat. It felt good to talk about this and get this whole thing out. I was glad that I had Nan in my corner and that I could confide in her in this kind of thing now.
“So, you moved in with him?” She asked, wiggling her brows.
“Yeah, well, apparently he has another mansion in his pack,” I told her.
She didn’t look surprised, she only nodded thoughtfully.
“He’s Gavin Landry, of course, he has multiple properties. That’s probably not even his only other mansion,” she told me.
“He went over to the Cash family manor for dinner to get to know them better and he saw me being treated like a slave. He was angry and ordered that I move into his mansion,” I continued to explain.
She looked as if she was about to shriek again, but then she caught herself and cleared her throat. I continued to tell her the story about how I wanted my mom to come too, but she insisted on staying but wanted me to go. Nan listened thoughtfully as we continued to sip on our coffees.
“So, he doesn’t know about the financial problems?” She asked.
I shook my head, but then I thought about it and shrugged.
“He knows I need the money and I’m sure he’s guessed that my family is struggling. But I don’t think he knows how bad it is. He doesn’t know my father is in jail,” I told her.
“I don’t get it. Why not tell him? You know the Landry corporation funds most of the businesses around the wolf kingdom, right?”
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.
“My father is a proud man and didn’t want to take any handouts from the Lycans. Plus, years ago, his business plan was rejected when he first presented it to Alpha Gavin, so he never bothered to try again.” I murmured. “He wanted to be able to do this by himself and prove himself worthy. He ended up making a deal with some loan sharks and took out way more money than the business was worth. Obviously, the business did well, but not well enough to pay back the sharks. Apparently, they charged a large amount of interest, so they require the money they loaned him, plus interest, which we don’t have. So, they charged him with theft.”
“Why not tell Gavin about this?” She asked. “He could help you easily and I’m sure he would if you were to ask.”
I shook my head and bit my lip, chewing on it vigorously.
“I’m embarrassed,” I admitted. “I don’t want him to think badly about my family and plus, I don’t think he remembers rejecting my father’s business plan. He’ll ask questions about why this business wasn’t Lycan funded, and I don’t really have answers for him.”
“You are just like your father,” Nan said with a smile. Too proud for your own good.”
