The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460

I felt sick to my stomach at the memory and swallowed the bile that threatened my throat.

“Gavin?” Judy asked when I hadn’t said anything.

I sighed; 1 could lie to her or deflect the question… but cared about Matt. She should know the truth so she can help me protect him when I’m not around him.

“Yes,” I replied. “Cassie wants to see her son and I won’t let that happen.”

Judy nodded as her mind raced, probably thinking about what Cassie had done to make herself unworthy of seeing her son.

“There were a ton of rumors about the female Landry,” Judy said softly. “But nobody really knows what happened to her.”

I nodded.

“For a reason, I murmured. “It didn’t benefit the Landry brand; I had to erase all signs of her,” he explained.

Judy’s eyes seemed to have lit up, like she was expecting something juicy to happen and now her interest was even more piqued.

I sighed, knowing I wasn’t going to get out of telling her the rest of the story.

“She ran with a bad crowd of rogue wolves when we were growing up,” I admitted, ignoring Judy’s gasp. “She was always like that… running with the wrong ones. They got her into drugs and other terrible things like stealing and spreading pack secrets to our enemies. She was a traitor to our pack, which was what I’d been trying to cover up. If they knew a traitor of the pack was still alive… it wouldn’t end well for any of us.”

Judy let out a shuddering breath as she stared at me. I pulled into the mansion driveway and parked out front. I didn’t turn off the engine though; we sat there in silence for a while.
