Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 966

The Bradford clan was in utter disbelief. Tarquin's second son?

That would be Evan, right?

But he's only five years old!

How could he have possibly roughed up the old man like that?

"Dad, are you sure you got this right? Evan's only five, how could he possibly..."

Gideon's face turned a shade of purple with anger as he roared with all his might,

"I said it was him! Call! Call Tarquin...now!"

Seeing Gideon nearly apoplectic, no one dared to question further, nor did they bother to bring up the matter of the video, hastily dialing Tarquin to come over.

With the video evidence out, Gideon was toast!

If they could drag Evan into this mess, all the better.

Evan was only five, too young for any legal repercussions. His misdeeds would fall on his guardian to deal with.

And since Evan had given Gideon a beating, Tarquin would have to answer for it!

Coincidentally, Tarquin had been pressuring them about shares recently. Perhaps they could use this incident to settle the matter of the shares once and for all!

So, after the group had called Tarquin and decided against calling the police for the time being, they had their plan. They sent Gideon to the hospital, swearing up and down,

"Dad, rest assured, if Evan really did this to you, we won't let Tarquin off the hook!"

"Right, as Evan's guardian, Tarquin has to take legal responsibility for his son!"

...

At Number One Mansion.

Elysia and Tarquin were together when they heard about Evan's altercation with Gideon, and they were shocked!

While Tarquin was on the phone, she went to find Evan, who had just come back from outside.

Elysia hurriedly asked him,

"Evan, tell Mommy the truth, did you hit Gideon? Did you really hurt him?"

Mommy doesn't want you fighting because she's worried you might get hurt. But standing up for your family and fighting for justice, when you can ensure your own safety, is commendable. Mommy thinks you did the right thing this time!"

Evan's eyes lit up, "Mommy isn't mad?"

Elysia gently stroked Evan's cheek,

"Mommy isn't mad. Mommy is proud that my Evan loves his family so much and is filled with such a sense of justice!"

She was just an ordinary woman with no special talents, but she had her principles!

She didn't believe standing up for wronged family was a mistake!

Nor did she believe fighting for justice was wrong!

Gideon's betrayal of his brother, his harm to his father, and his cruel desecration of his grandmother's ashes, justified Evan's rage.

His anger showed how much he loved his family, and that was something to be praised.

As for the Bradford family, Evan had no direct ties to them, but his anger showed his heart was in the right place, which was also commendable.
