Chapter 188
Third Person POV Irene knew exactly what she was doing .
The look on Judys face was exactly what she was going for .
She wanted Judy to see Skyla with her father and to think that Skyla was a better match .
Judy was no match when it came to Skyla , and everybody knew it .
Including Skyla .
Just that morning they had a whole conversation about it .
Irene intercepted Skyla before she joined the others for their morning meeting .
Skyla frowned when she saw Irene because her last encounter with her hadnt been great .
In fact , Irene had made a fool out of herself trying to impress the actress .
But Irene knew something about Skyla now , and she was going to use that to her advantage .
Im late for the meeting , Skyla told Irene , holding up her hand and stopping what she had to say .
Cant this wait until later ? She was used to being bombarded by fans , and in her eyes , Irène wasnt any different .
I think you are going to want to speak with me now , Irene said , folding her arms across her chest .
Skyla froze and looked at the girl ; something about he made Skyla interested and she raised her brows Okay , you have my attention , she said curiously .
For now , she made sure to add .
Irene grinned and leaned against the wall ; her eyes fixed on the beautiful Skyla .
She would make the perfect stepmother ; not only was she age appropriate , but she was also gorgeous … not to mention she wasnt Judy and thats all that Irene cared about .
She wanted Judy away from her life .
In her head , Judy wasnt only using Gavin to get close to Ethan .
Irene wanted her as far away from their lives as possible and if that meant setting her father up with another woman , then thats exactly what she was going to do .
I overheard you speaking about my father last night , Irene went on to say .
I know you have a thing for him .
And why is that any of your business ? Skyla asked .
Well , for starters , if things work out for you , youd be my stepmother .
So , who my father sees , is kind of my business by default , Irene murmured .
Even Skyla had to admit , she had a point , though she didnt think that far ahead .
She only wanted to test the waters with Gavin to see if there was any potential in that .
Being a stepmother was not something she was signing up for .
But she supposed it was the price she was going to have to pay .
Im assuming you have an issue with me pursuing your father ? Skyla asked .
Not at all , Irene surprised her by saying without hesitation .
Dont get me wrong … I think it would be a little weird to call you stepmom … but my fathers happiness is all that matters to me and if you make .
him happy , then Im happy .
Matt and I have been wanting our father to remarry for some time now .
Matt ? My brother , she answered .
Of course , Irene knew that Matt was real brother , but he was basically her brother .
For a moment , she forgot that not everybody knew about Matt .
Even while the film Chapter 015-0 crew were living in their villa , Matt mainly kept to himself .
The crew was so busy , they wouldnt even notice if he had been around or not .
I wasnt aware Gavin had another child , Skyla murtured , displeased by this information , but it wasnt a deal breaker .
Skyla shook the thought out of her mind and narrowed her eyes at Irene .
Why are you even telling me this ? If you dont care that limpursuing him, then why are we having this conversation ? Because I needed to warn you , Irene told her .
I have reason to believe that my father is involved with someone .
Or at least hes interested in her … Skylas mood soured almost immediately .
Why do you believe that ? She asked through her teeth .
Because of the way he looks at her and vice versa .
They are always whispering and secretive … not to mention hes been out of the house most nights when shes not here … but hes always here when she is here , Irene explained .
Hes been trying to hide it , but Im observant and I notice everything And who is this woman ? Skyla asked , trying hard to contain her temper .
Her name is Judy , Irene told her , rolling her eyes at the very name .
Shes Matts tutor .
Irene didnt like this side of herself ; she didnt like being bitter and two faced … that wasnt how her father had raised her .
But she couldnt help herself .
Her jealousy over Judy and the fact that she had lied to Irene , keeping her relationship with Ethan a secret while pretending to be Irenes friend , made Irene act out of pocket .
She felt she had no other choice but to betray her in return .
