Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1033

Huh?!

Helen frowned and turned around.

But as soon as she did, she whipped back around!

Good Lord, what had she just seen?

Did she really just see Evan, that little troublemaker?

Wasn't he supposed to be dead and gone? Why was she seeing him?!

Impossible! This can't be happening!

She must be seeing things!

It had to be the way she turned around!

Helen steadied herself and turned once more...

And there was Evan, standing right behind her, with a grin that could light up the room, “Were you looking for me?”

“Ahh—” Helen screamed, falling back onto the ground!

“Are—are you a ghost or something?!”

Evan looked genuinely puzzled, “What? Of course, I'm alive. Why would I be a ghost?!”

“But, weren’t you dead?!”

“Huh?!” Evan’s voice pitched up, “Who told you I was dead? That’s a baseless rumor!”

Helen stared, out of breath, “…”

Evan gave her a weird look and bounced back to where Elysia and Pamela were standing.

Elysia wasn’t worried about Evan one bit.

She didn’t know about the big shot protecting Evan, but she knew Tarquin had arranged bodyguards for them.

Evan was alive, and the rumor was squashed!

The reporters buzzed among themselves,

“This kid looks fine to me, why would Helen start such a rumor?”

“Sir, these two were sneaking around the Hawkins estate, our men caught them and they confessed someone paid them to come here to kill someone.”

Upon seeing them, Helen’s accomplice nearly screamed out loud!

Helen was so shocked her eyes nearly popped out of her head!

Evan, standing next to Elysia and Pamela, narrowed his eyes, making the thugs shiver in fear!

Following Evan’s earlier instructions, the thugs pointed directly at Helen and her accomplice,

“It was them! They paid us $200,000 to harm a kid named Evan! They wanted it done brutally, demanded we cut off his tongue and nose, gouge out his eyes, oh, and chop off the kid’s legs and arms!”

Everyone: “?!!!” Helen had hired killers?!

Helen’s accomplice fell to the ground with a thud, crying out,

“We would never harm that child, we have no grievances with him, how could we possibly order such a thing?!”

Helen, pale as a ghost, struggled to stand her ground, retorting,

“Who are you to accuse me? Do you want to face a lawsuit?!”
