He handed his phone to Tarquin.
Tarquin frowned, holding the phone as he walked to the study.
Gideon asked, “Is something up? You’ve been dodging calls.”
“Nothing!”
“Alright then, just wanted to confirm the details about the memorial ceremony today. Elijah is all good, right?”
Tarquin’s brow furrowed deeper, irritation bubbling inside him. He wasn’t even sure if Elijah was okay! His mind wasn’t on the memorial ceremony at all!
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as a yes. The ceremony is important, and you and Elijah are the present and future heads of the family. Don't be late.”
“Got it.”
Tarquin’s response was cold as he hung up the call. He tossed the phone to Lowell and lit up a cigarette.
Lowell pocketed the phone, cautiously trying to advise him, “Today’s focus should be on Elijah and the memorial service. Let’s put the mystery man on hold for now. I’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news about him. We’ve already escalated the surveillance issue.”
Tarquin took a harsh drag on his cigarette, “Did you see that cat?”
“Yeah, someone twisted its neck, killed it. Must be a real piece of work.”
Tarquin’s expression darkened even more. A ruthless person showing up outside their house and fixating on Elijah’s window with a creepy grin wasn’t a good sign!
“Find him, no matter what it takes!”
“I know. Also, Ms. Thorne mentioned she wants to join us at the ceremony. If she goes, wouldn’t she find out who you are?”
Tarquin’s voice was cold, “She won’t figure it out.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Too dumb! Doesn’t have the brains for it!”
