Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1143

When you mess up, there's always a price to pay.

It's not enough to just realize your mistake and zip it.

After all, the damage caused when you lash out at someone is real!

Bertram kicked off the morning by sending out a cease and desist letter.

Clayton was hot on his heels, having the PR team at Hawkins Sea-freight do the same.

One was defending his grandson's honor.

The other, his daughter's.

These weren't your average cease and desist letters.

After all, behind Bertram was the entire fashion and film industry, along with some heavy-hitting investors!

And behind Clayton was the world-renowned Hawkins Sea-freight, along with the enigmatic Patel family!

Offending so many powerful figures at once, what else could they expect but disaster?

As soon as those letters were released, the troublemakers started to quake in their boots.

But then—

Tarquin made his move, and they realized they had been scared too soon.

The real storm was yet to come!

Tarquin was truly fearsome!

Not only did he issue a cease and desist for the personal attacks against Elysia and Emmett.

He also dug up the dirt on those responsible!

With no time for nonsense, he exposed their secrets, effectively ending them on social media!

A public takedown!

Among the exposed were a female influencer with millions of followers, featured in scandalous videos with several partners, her face unblurred to ensure everyone knew who she was.

Then there was an animal lover, caught in extremely cruel acts against animals.

Leaks from inside a charity organization.

And even some officials caught taking bribes.

From high-ranking officials and influencers with millions of followers to your average keyboard warriors, Tarquin laid them all bare.

His approach was indiscriminate!

"Donate all the compensation we received, send blessings to Elysia and Emmett."

"Tarquin, there's something from Jindale City, quite important."

"What happened?"

"Verity's illegitimate son is having some trouble."

Hearing this, Tarquin frowned slightly, "What's wrong with him?"

"He's sick, but the doctors can't figure out what's wrong. It came on suddenly, and he's been in the hospital for a week. Dr. Benjamin is worried it might be serious and urged us to come back as soon as possible."

Dr. Benjamin knew the boy had returned from Karl Town and might be linked to some mysterious figure.

He was concerned that if Tarquin didn't return before the boy potentially passed away, they might lose a crucial lead.

Tarquin's brow furrowed, "I understand."

After hanging up, he seemed troubled by the thought, lighting a cigarette with a stern expression.

...

Elysia slept through to the evening, waking up to find the internet still buzzing.

Tarquin remained at the top of the trending list, with other news stories continuously shifting the rankings.
