Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 466

"Can't talk now, just say it over the phone." Tarquin's voice was chilly, devoid of any warmth.

Gideon wasn't surprised. "Next week is New Year's Eve, don't forget to bring Elijah back for the family dinner."

"I know."

"...And what about those wolves that suddenly showed up during the memorial? Did you figure out what that was all about?"

"No."

Gideon continued, "Those wolves might have attacked others in the end, but I swear they were after Elijah initially. I'm worried someone's out to get him. You need to dig deeper, can't take this lightly. Elijah is the last of the Bradfords, we can't afford to lose him!"

"Uh-huh."

Gideon didn’t say anything more, and Tarquin just hung up.

Tarquin couldn’t even bother to roll his eyes at Gideon's feigned concern now.

Gideon indeed didn’t want Elijah dead, but he sure as hell didn’t want him thriving either. He’d be thrilled if something bad happened to Elijah!

Inside the Bradford family mansion.

As soon as Gideon hung up, his right-hand man immediately reported, "Sir, that person sent a message. The poison's placed in the usual spot, and I've sent someone to retrieve it. We can act anytime! But, do you think it's necessary to make another move?"

Gideon had that calculating look. "Of course, it's necessary! I've heard Elijah's been doing better lately, must be the effects wearing off. He can't recover before we achieve our goal. Besides, Tarquin's been increasingly dismissive of me lately. We need to teach him a lesson!"

Gideon knew exactly how to hurt Tarquin!
