Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 524

"Alright, give me a moment to gather a few things, and I'll brew us some tea," Elysia said as she got up and headed for the kitchen, returning with several steaming cups of tea. She had cranked the heating up to max, making the room uncomfortably warm. As she brought over the tea, everyone grabbed a cup without hesitation and began sipping away.

"Drink up, I'll just pack a few clothes and then Elijah and I will leave with you," Elysia mentioned before retreating to her room.

In the kids' room, a couple of the little ones were keeping an eye on the situation through a living room security feed.

Evan asked, "What's going on? Did something really happen to Tarquin? Is Mom really going to take Elijah and leave with them?"

Elliot responded, "Tarquin's fine. I already sent him the evidence. The whole 'dying wish' thing was just a bluff. Mom's probably just stalling for time. I bet she spiked the tea."

"She wants to knock them all out?"

"Yep." Elliot frowned, clearly not thrilled with Elysia's plan. After all, not everyone drinks tea. Mom's plan was too naive.

Sure enough, as soon as Elliot finished speaking, chaos erupted in the living room. Those who drank the tea started to pass out, but Ulysses and Gideon remained unaffected. Ulysses didn't drink because he thought the tea leaves were too cheap, and Gideon, ever cautious, never accepts drinks prepared by others. They both dodged the bullet, exposing Elysia's plan.

Infuriated, Ulysses summoned all the guards inside, "This woman dared to drug us! Grab her! And find Elijah!"
