Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 971

Elysia reassured with a steady voice, "As long as he doesn't shoot himself in the foot, you can count on me to handle Tarquin."

Verity nodded eagerly, her face washed with gratitude, "Thank you, Elysia, thank you! I knew I could count on you to understand and help me out!"

Elysia then pressed, "So, can you tell me now? Who is the real culprit behind the murder of Tarquin's parents?"

Verity furrowed her brows, wiped away her tears, and after a moment of composed silence, she revealed a name, "..."

Elysia's eyes widened in shock, completely taken aback, "!"

...

In the hospital room.

The moment Gideon laid eyes on Tarquin, his blood pressure skyrocketed, and it took him a moment to bellow, "Your son did this to me, and you're going to pay! There will be no reconciliation, none at all! I'm going to make sure you rot in jail!"

Tarquin just stared at him coldly, silent.

Gideon suddenly sneered, "You think you can squeeze me with that shares business, huh? Well, guess what, you've got another thing coming! Not only will you not get your hands on my shares, but the Bradford Group will be mine! All of it, including all the assets under your name, and you'll watch from prison as I rise to the top!"

Without waiting for Gideon to reply, Tarquin coldly questioned, "Why even bother getting married and having kids?"

Gideon immediately yelled, "Where are the police? Get them in here to arrest him! His son assaulted me, and now he has too. He must be sentenced to life!"

As Tarquin withdrew his hand, standing aside, he watched Gideon coldly, "The real disaster for the Bradford family is you. It's you who have ruined the Bradford family. Think about how you're going to face the ancestors of the Bradford family after you're gone!"

Gideon lay gasping on the bed, sweating profusely from pain and rage, "Your father didn’t listen to me, you don’t listen, Elijah doesn't listen. Despite carrying my blood and enjoying my benefits, you all choose to defy me!

You ungrateful wretches, all of you! The Bradford family won't be ruined by me; under my lead, it will reach its peak. Tarquin, you're finished, completely finished!"

"Sir, it's us who are finished!" Gideon's close associate, his head wrapped in bandages, came running over, sobbing.
