Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 746

Now, even if Elijah couldn't take over the family business, there were Elliot, Evan, Emmett to consider!

He couldn’t handle one Elijah, and now with three more popping up, it was way over his head!

Gideon spent a day irritated and without eating, his frustration only fueled further when his confidant added,

“Sir, no matter how you look at it, that 10% share was promised to young master Tarquin in advance. He can't just go back on his word. Maybe you should give him a call?”

Gideon smashed his coffee mug on the spot, fuming,

“Call for what? To be humiliated? Idiot!”

Now that it was confirmed Elysia’s sons were of the Bradford bloodline, how could Tarquin possibly consider giving him shares or a place in the family genealogy?!

Thinking about that 10% share, it was like a punch to the gut, truly painful!

His confidant shivered, quickly adding,

“It’s all Ms. Thorne’s fault, not saying anything earlier and choosing today of all days! If only she had waited till tomorrow, those shares would have been in our pocket.”

Gideon was furious too. If Elysia had spoken tomorrow, those shares would have been his, with no going back.

Even if Tarquin was mad, there was nothing he could do but swallow the bitter pill!

But now it had turned into a mess...

The more Gideon thought about it, the angrier he got, until a thought struck him, narrowing his eyes,

“I heard Tarquin hasn’t even started divorce proceedings yet. Doesn’t that make Elysia the other woman?”

His confidant quickly responded, “Yes! And doesn’t that make Ms. Thorne’s sons... illegitimate?”

Gideon, as if having an epiphany, smirked after a moment of thought,

“Children born out of wedlock by a mistress have no right to be in the Bradford family genealogy! Go, contact the Thorne family, bring Tarquin’s wife back!”

Once the lawful wife was back, Elysia’s status as the other woman would be exposed, her children naturally branded as illegitimates.
