Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 788

That is to say, all the time, effort, and money they poured into finding Daphne went down the drain!

The massive debt they paid off for the Thorne family, utterly wasted!

Their grand plan to slap Elysia in the face by presenting Daphne as the rightful wife backfired spectacularly!

Ouch, that stings!

This lavish gala, specifically organized for Tarquin and Elysia, turned into a circus with them unwittingly becoming the clowns of the high society!

They really outdid themselves...

Total disasters!

Absolute fools!

"Oh my God!" Verity wailed before fainting, again.

The rest of the Bradfords were painfully aware of their pitiful state, drowning in their sobs...

Their earlier exuberance had completely deflated!

They didn’t need anyone to tell them—they felt like absolute jesters on stage!

Gideon felt his head buzzing, with whispers surrounding him, wishing for a way out!

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" he muttered, emphasizing his desperation.

Gideon had his right-hand man wheel him away from the disaster of a party; he just couldn’t bear it any longer.

The rest of the Bradfords, too ashamed to stay any longer, scattered, making a spectacle of themselves in front of everyone!

Foolish, indeed—

Daphne, green with envy at the sight of the marriage certificate on the big screen, pleaded on her knees before Tarquin,

"Mr. Bradford, the Bradfords chose me back then, really, I didn't lie to you! It was my horoscope that matched yours, not Elysia's! I'm the only one who can bring you prosperity! Only with me by your side will everything go smoothly…"

She believed her dad, who said that rich folks were superstitious!

If Tarquin knew she was the one meant for him, not Elysia, he would surely leave Elysia and marry her!

Elijah frowned, signaling his bodyguards with a glance to drag Daphne away and hand her over to the police.

The charge was fraud and extortion.

The Thornes biting the Bradfords, swindling them out of a fortune, certainly qualified as fraud and extortion!

Given the amount involved, it was a serious crime!

The Thornes were done for!
