Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 

Why on earth does a guy as handsome as him even have a mouth? 

And his buddy over there, was he born mute? Can’t he speak up? 

“Quit playing dead, you talk!” 

Tarquin flicked the ash off his cigarette and obediently uttered one word, “Scram!” 

The crowd was absolutely bewildered. 

Laughter in the private room came to an abrupt halt. 

Elysia’s face flushed even more with embarrassment. She couldn’t stand the humiliation. Gritting her teeth, she stormed out! 

Counting on him to save her? No way! She’d rather go down swinging with Gage. 

Ugh! That old lecher Gage wasn’t worth her risking her neck. She was capable enough to end his lineage today! 

Gage had been pacing the hallway for ages, calling his bodyguards to check the surveillance, trying to find where Elysia had hidden herself. 

Suddenly, he spotted her and chuckled, 

“No need to check the cameras. I’ve found her!” 

Elysia gritted her teeth and bolted, leading him toward a corner. She was worried that Blossom and the three little ones would be scared if they saw this mess. She wanted to corner him and give him a couple of jabs. Do the public a favor! 

But just as she reached the corner, she was blocked by Gage’s bodyguards. 

Panting, Gage caught up and grabbed Elysia by the hair, cursing, “You wench, trying to run?” 

Elysia, in pain, kicked out. When she couldn’t hit Gage, she stomped on his foot instead. 

Gage let out a howl of pain and, in a fury, grabbed Elysia by the throat and slammed her against the wall, nearly choking her. 

The two bodyguards just stood by, watching coldly. 

“Find an empty room. I’m gonna deal with her right here!” 

The bodyguards nodded and left. 

“You ungrateful bitch, being fancied by me is a blessing! In Jindale City, there’s nothing I want that I can’t get! Let’s see how you’ll run today!” 

Elysia’s face turned beet red as she struggled to breathe. 

“Scumbag! Your days are numbered!” She cursed inwardly. 

Elysia was determined to rid the world of this vermin. She was about to unleash her secret weapon when she suddenly heard a cold snort. 

“What the hell is going on here?” 

Following the sound, Elysia locked eyes with a familiar face. 

It was Zane. 

Zane rushed over. Seeing Elysia, he was surprised. “Elysia?” 

Elysia slowly retracted her weapon and looked at him for help. 

Zane forcefully pried Gage’s fingers off and shielded Elysia behind him. “Mr. Gage, what exactly are you doing?” 

Gage, fuming, snapped back, “And who the hell are you?” 

“I’m the General Manager of the Newsom Group, Zane.”
