Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 575

"I didn't get a clear look before he put it away."

Tarquin was silent.

The last time they met, the mysterious man had told him:

"You know, you have a daughter you don't know about. If you don't want anything bad happening to her, let me go, heh."

At that moment, Tarquin was shocked, filled with doubts.

That's why he didn't dare to make a move that day and let him go!

Since then, he had been pondering over it. It wasn't impossible for Elijah's mother to have had twins, but without any leads, he remained skeptical.

But now, he was starting to believe it might be true!

*Ding*—a new message alert.

A message from an anonymous number: [Are you satisfied with your New Year's gift? Heh.]

Tarquin's brow tightened. It was him!

He quickly replied to the message, but the sender had already deactivated the account.

Tarquin's breathing grew heavier.

The one trying to harm Elijah was this mysterious man!

Could his daughter actually be his own?!

Was he really a father to a daughter he never knew existed???

Tarquin held his breath, a mix of shock and joy, excitement and anxiety!

If he really had a daughter, if Elijah really had a sister, it would be a cause for celebration!

But his daughter not being by his side, potentially in the hands of this mysterious man, was a major concern!

Tarquin tried to calm down and analyze the situation.

If the mysterious man wasn't lying, then this man's daughter could very well be his own!

Years ago, the mysterious man had taken Elijah and his sibling from their mother, sending Elijah to him but keeping the daughter for himself.

What was his purpose?

If he took the daughter, it must have been to threaten him, but why was he so concerned about his "darling"?

Could it be that the "darling" was the mysterious man's own biological daughter, and his own daughter was raised somewhere else?

Tarquin racked his brain but couldn't figure out the mysterious man's intentions, growing frustrated.

His emotions running high, Axel noticed something was off, "Tarquin?"

After extinguishing his cigarette, he went downstairs first.

When the Bradford family members saw Gideon's condition in the main hall, they were shocked, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets!

Everyone held their breath, filled with fear!

Tarquin got straight to the point,

"I'm giving you one day to move out of the mansion. I'll come to check tomorrow. If your stuff is still here, I'll have it all thrown into the dump."

Gideon, upon hearing this, became agitated, "You… you want me to move out of the mansion?"

"Not just you, all of you! The main building, the east and west wings, the annex, clean them all out!"

"Tarquin, you…"

"Keep your opinions to yourself! If you can't, then you might as well lose your tongue!"

Gideon's eyes bulged, and he fainted from anger on the spot.

Moving out of the mansion was like being exiled from a palace in ancient times; it wasn't just about losing a house, it was the collapse of power and influence!

For Gideon, this was more brutal than physical torture—it was a fatal blow!

The rest of the Bradford family didn't care about Gideon's plight, but seeing how it affected them, they immediately became unwilling.
