Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 781

However, the doors to the town hall hadn't even opened yet.

Unexpectedly, there was a malfunction with the doors, and the staff was scrambling to fix it.

People there for official business were crowded outside, waiting. Those getting married were in one line, those getting divorced in another.

Tarquin stayed in his car, about to ask Royal Community to check on 'Daphne's' location, when he suddenly spotted Elysia!

She was standing among the crowd, eagerly looking towards the doors.

Tarquin's heart skipped a beat. "What?!"

Why was she here?

Was she here to get a divorce?

Was the surprise she mentioned about divorcing her husband?!

Tarquin got excited at the thought. Indeed, it was a surprise! A huge one!

What a coincidence that they had chosen the same day to get divorced!

Aware that this wasn't the right place to approach her, Tarquin stayed in his car, discreetly watching, curious about who her husband might be.

Soon, a sleazy-looking guy approached Elysia and started talking to her.

Tarquin frowned. Was this her husband?

What a joke!

Was he blind or something?

He didn't even seem worthy of being compared to a single strand of Elysia's hair!

No wonder he clung to Elysia, refusing to divorce. A toad dreaming of eating swan meat, of course, he wouldn't want to let go!

Elysia still hadn't noticed Tarquin. She looked at the man with furrowed brows, "What do you want?"

The man, with a sleazy grin, said, "You're here to get divorced, right? Those getting married are in that line."

What business was it of his whether she was getting divorced or married?

Tarquin felt a surge of anger and adjusted his tie in irritation.

He had been wanting to teach this scumbag a lesson, and on the day of his divorce, no less!

Unable to intervene directly, he signaled his bodyguard, "… Go teach him a lesson!"

Soon, the abusive man was taken aside.

He received a thorough beating!

Bruised and battered, the bodyguard left a message,

"Leaving you breathing so you can divorce Ms. Thorne. If you dare not to today, she'll be a widow by tonight!"

The implication was clear: divorce today, or face deadly consequences tonight!

As the bodyguard walked away, the abusive man curled up, watching them leave, both in pain and confusion.

Who on earth was Ms. Thorne?
