Chapter 0033
Judy’s POV
When I first realized Carol was no longer my friend, back in middle school, it was a few days after the spelling bee contest. She only missed one letter in the word ‘Necessary and it cost her the competition. It was only a small competition for middle schoolers, but she took it to heart, and she never forgave me for taking the prize from her.
She acted like she was still my friend though; she congratulated me and even hugged me. The school was going to host a mock ceremony for the reward a couple of days later. My adoptive mother had me wear a pretty dress and even helped me write a speech.
Not many people know this about me, but I suffer from a condition called dyslexia. Reading and writing was difficult for me. I often get my letters mixed up; reading out loud during school was a complete nightmare for me.
entire life. Most knew I had trouble reading out loud, but they never understood why. I hid this condition my
I prepared for months for this spelling bee, and I wasn’t expecting to win.
Thanks to years of training and therapy, I can manage my dyslexia way better now. It only made me work that much harder and I managed to hide my condition from almost everybody. The only ones who knew about this disorder were Nan who had been my best friend since elementary school, my adoptive parents, and unfortunately Ethan.
I confessed it to him after he marked me. I didn’t want there to be secrets between us.
Carol, like the rest of the school, only knew that I had trouble reading and writing, but she didn’t know the reason. She also knew how hard I prepared for that spelling bee because we often trained together. After I won, she spent time with me while I repeatedly went over the speech my mother and I made for the award ceremony.
I had a bit of trouble reading it out loud, but I eventually got it down and I was confident in my ability to read it in front of others.
When I was announced as the spelling bee winner during the mock award ceremony, and was about to make my speech, I noticed that every word on the paper differed. Someone had switched it out and made most of the words unreadable.
I stood in front of the school, stuttering over each word and struggling to comprehend what was on the paper.
I had never been more embarrassed.
The kids were brutal and started to laugh; my eyes found Carol’s, and she smirked at me. At that moment, I knew this was her doing. Then, some of the new friends she made walked up to me and dumped a bucket of glue on my head. Before the principal could intervene, it was Carol who stood in front of me.
“You stole my prize. You don’t deserve to win. I saw your notebook. You had every word written down and memorized. You cheated!” She sneered. Then slje threw handfuls of glitter at me, branding me as a cheater.
I didn’t cheat… I only studied. She could have done the same thing. I needed the extra help, and I utilized the material given to me.
The entire school erupted in laughter and chanted that I was a cheater. They also made fun of me for not being able to read.
The principal ushered Carol and her friends away, and Nan came to my side to help and defend me. Nan was already my friend prior to this, but that was the day she became my truest best friend. That was also the day I told her about my dyslexia.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Chapter 340 It seems that the author has not finished this story. She did this post about it last spring or summer....
Ch.-22. She needs to get a backbone. She should've screamed for her Mom when he was assaulting her and when he answered his phone with Irene on the phone, she should've screamed out "Ethan get out of my room, your engaged "!!...
Ch.17-I hope Gavin is secretly doing something to expose Ethan to Irene because if not, he's not looking like a very, good father to allow Ethan to date his daughter while knowing that Ethan's flat out lying and keeping stuff from Irene. Also, does Irene not know that he was mated before? I mean, Judy keeps mentioning that her mark on her neck is still there and will be until Ethan marks another. Does he not have a mark? If he does what did he tell Irene? Maybe I'll get my answers soon. So far I have enjoyed reading this novel....
This story is unreadable now that the screenshots won’t load...
these updates always have only half of the original chapters. Its quite frustrating coz I always have to go find the rest of the chapter on one of the reading apps. For instance, this chapter doesnt show the part at the end where "Tabby tells Judy that she always found Sammy weird during the competition, always disappearing for weird phonecalls, how she's in contact with all Gavin's enemies. How the 3 of them decided to investigate her and found tham Sammy's home life has wiped out on all platforms and had lied about a boyfriend that does not exist." Thats so much important parts of the book that we just miss out on...
Anyone know why didn’t see the text on print? I can see just question mark. :(...
I have really enjoyed this book, looking forward to more chapters!...
Can we get updates when a new chapter is up?...
You said gavins mum and Judy haven’t met but they did around the time of the ball and then said at the restaurant that they just met and when she met her previously she wasn’t mean just interfering...
Hi there when will more chapters be released waiting for new chapters is excruciating.......
