Tarquin Bradford had a hunch and decided to test the waters. The storm brewing around the Hawkins family was, without a shadow of a doubt, linked to a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows.
"This trip to Oceanopolis might just be our chance to unmask them," he thought.
With a stoic expression, Tarquin ordered, "Grab Verity Bradford's illegitimate child first. Pretend I'll interrogate him personally. Arrange a private jet in secret; we're heading to Oceanopolis tonight!"
The child, having been raised within the mysterious figure's stronghold, surely knew much that could aid them.
After returning from Oceanopolis, a thorough interrogation was in order.
Hanging up the phone, Tarquin immediately sought out Elysia Thorne to inform her of their imminent departure to Oceanopolis.
...
Oceanopolis, Dock No. 1.
As nightfall approached, a well-dressed, affluent woman lingered by the dock, refusing to leave. Clutching a rag doll, she hummed softly, her demeanor hinting at a troubled mind.
Her maids called out to her, "Madam, it's getting dark. It's time to head back for dinner."
The woman, lost in her own world, paid them no heed.
The maids, frustration evident on their faces, muttered among themselves, "Day after day, it's the same. Her daughter disappeared over twenty years ago. What's the point in waiting?"
"Exactly. If she's gone, she's gone. Why not just have another child and move on? She's asking for unnecessary suffering, bringing this upon herself."
Their conversation was cut short by a phone call. Recognizing the caller ID, one maid's demeanor changed instantly to one of obsequiousness. "Hello, Helen."
