Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

"Drink with me, Judy," she said. "Let's show my father that he doesn't control your life."

She cheered, drawing the attention of others around us, making us both giggle with slight embarrassment.

"Judy?" My mother said as she approached. Per usual, she looked gorgeous in her own elegant dress; she had a confused yet bright smile on her face. It was nice that she was taking care of herself again; I loved that things were going back to normal now that my father was out of prison and not in jeopardy of losing his company. "I wasn't expecting you to be here."

"I'm afraid that's my fault, Mrs. Montague. I asked Judy to be my plus one," Irene said, putting an arm around my shoulder.

Irene had never actually met my mother before, but I knew she knew who she was, as did my mother.

"Miss Landry," my mother said, looking between the two of us. "I didn't realize you two were so close."

"Judy is my good friend," she told her. "As soon as she started to tutor my brother, we clicked right away. We clearly have the same terrible taste in men," she tried to joke, and I knew some of it was alcohol induced.
