Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 497

Axel led Blossom and Evan upstairs.

After settling Blossom into her room, Evan dashed back to his own, frantically dialing Elliot. "Bro, there's a problem!"

"I'm already aware," Elliot responded calmly.

Panic was evident in Evan's voice, "The cops suspect that jerk Tarquin of murder and took him in! I told them he's innocent, but they wouldn't listen to me. It was clearly the stand-in who jumped on his own. I saw it with my own eyes; I can testify!"

Despite his longstanding grudge against Tarquin and his desire to avenge his mother, Evan wouldn't exploit this situation.

Elysia had raised them well; they would never stoop so low, especially not over a matter of life and death.

So, even though Evan disliked Tarquin, he repeatedly told the officers that Tarquin wasn't the culprit.

Watching Tarquin being taken away still made him anxious, worried, and restless!

Elliot explained, "The cops taking him is just procedure, not that they don't believe you. He was at the scene, so naturally, he's a suspect.

Don't panic. This is Tarquin we're talking about. If he did it, he's smart enough to cover his tracks. And if he didn't, no one can frame him.

So, don't worry too much about him. Now, Evan, try to calm down and walk us through what happened in detail."

Meanwhile, Tarquin had been brought to the local police station.

He cooperated with the authorities, sitting alone in the interrogation room, calmly smoking a cigarette.

Outside, a group of young officers was watching him through the large glass wall.

They didn't know Tarquin personally, but his icy demeanor was impossible to ignore, drawing in their collective gaze.

"Who is he? He looks distinguished, but his aura is so cold. This is my first time seeing someone like him."
