Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Chapter 714

Judy's POV

"Where are we going?" I asked as Gavin put his hand on the small of my back and guided me through the crowd.

His face was serious, and I felt the tension rising within him; yet, I felt a twinge of determination as well. Whatever he was planning, I knew it was coming together right now.

"We are going to pay for what we bid for," he told me, keeping his tone low.

I decided to just trust him and keep my mouth shut; I knew he would never allow Levi to do that with the Moon Gem. That was the whole point of us being here in the first place; if he was confident that he could get it back, then I had to believe him.

I swallowed down the words I wanted to say and followed him into a back room where Edward waited. He was standing behind a counter with a few items on it, including the necklace that Gavin won.
