Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1077

Carl was on his knees in front of Clayton, eyes brimming with tears, "Bro!"

Clayton snapped, "Don’t call me bro! You were the one who said you wanted to cut ties completely. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

"Bro, come on, we share the same mother, how can we just sever ties like that? I was wrong, bro, I was just blowing hot air. Don’t take what I said seriously."

"Hmph, save your act, it makes me sick!"

"Bro…"

Tarquin handed Clayton a stack of papers, "Over the years, Carl has been involved in a myriad of illegal activities. This is all the evidence. If handed over to the cops, he’d be looking at at least ten years."

Clayton first gave his son-in-law a look of warm affection before taking the documents.

After reading, he clenched his teeth, "Call the cops! Someone like him doesn’t deserve freedom!"

Hearing this, Carl was terrified, "Bro, I was wrong. I was led astray, you know I’m easily influenced. I really see my mistake now! Bro, please, give me another chance. I’ll do anything you say from now on, I won’t mess up again. Bro, I don’t want to go to jail, please…"

Clayton was unyielding, "If you really know you're wrong, then serve your time and reflect on your actions! Alden, call the police!"

Carl collapsed, utterly terrified.

The others were shaking in their boots!

If Clayton could be this harsh with his own brother, what about them?

Philip was panicking. According to the agreement, if he lost, his shares would be confiscated!

He felt like a drowned rat, left with nothing!

Knowing Clayton wouldn’t let him off the hook, Philip played his last card, attempting to use Betty as leverage, "Clayton, think about your mother!"

Everyone echoed, "Yeah, think of Betty!"

Betty had become their lifeline.
