Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 760

Was her no-good husband actually working at his company? Elysia couldn't track him down to sign the divorce papers, so she was planning to have a word with him, his boss, to put some pressure on that deadbeat?

Tarquin mulled it over for a moment but couldn't quite grasp what Elysia was up to.

He didn't take it out on the security guard either. After all, the guard wasn't aware of Elysia's status; keeping her out was technically the right move.

"Make sure everyone gets the memo. If Elysia comes looking for me again, let me know immediately. Whether I'm in the office or not, she gets ushered into the lobby. We can't have her waiting outside!"

"Got it."

"Did you finish looking into those three women?"

"Yeah, they were here for interviews today, all of them studying abroad, one just got back from overseas. The other two have been back for a couple of months."

Tarquin's expression darkened, "Do any of those three have beef with Elysia?"

"Two of them have no connection to Ms. Thorne, but the one who just got back, Annie, we're still digging into her. There's something fishy about her identity."

The Thorne family were no fools; before heading abroad, they had a hacker mess with their identity records to avoid any blowback if the arranged marriage fiasco ever came to light.

So, when Lowell started digging, he couldn't trace anything directly to her. The investigation was ongoing.

Tarquin frowned, "Send me whatever you've found so far."

"Will do."

After receiving the digital files from Daphne, Tarquin studied them for a while.

There was no mention of 'Daphne,' just an English name: Annie.

Tarquin didn't recall her at all.

When Gideon had suggested he get married, he was abroad. Gideon had indeed sent him Daphne's picture, but he hadn't spared it a glance, merely noting the name: Daphne.

Knowing Gideon was up to no good, he naturally didn't care about Gideon's arrangements.

However, upon learning that the woman had been bought with money, he did feel a twinge of sympathy for her.

Two years of marriage, and though he hadn't gone back to see her or paid any attention to her life, he made sure she didn't lack for anything.
