Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 939

Gideon was panting heavily, his clothes soaked through with cold sweat!

He was furious, but seeing Tarquin in such a state today, he didn't dare go against him.

Trying to contain his anger, he turned to his confidant,

"Repeat to him what you just told me, and don't you dare lie!"

The confidant, scared of Tarquin, took a few shaky steps forward and began,

"...After the boss left the studio, a few bodyguards were cleaning up and found the siblings hiding in a closet. The brother was unconscious, but the sister was awake.

She looked at the bodyguards terrified, holding her brother, and started bawling.

The bodyguards, not wanting to attract attention, were about to silence them for good when a man walked in.

He claimed to be acting on behalf of the boss's son, offered a hefty check, used both threats and persuasion, and eventually took the Keith siblings away."

Tarquin was taken aback, "Under my father's name?!"

The boss's son was none other than Tarquin's father, Kendrick.

The confidant nodded vigorously, "Yes! I've just finished interrogating those bodyguards. They wouldn't dare lie again."

Why would someone use his father's name to take the Keith siblings away? As long as the money was right, those bodyguards would've let them go without mentioning his father's name.

Tarquin couldn't figure it out and asked, "What happened next?"

"Then... Then those bodyguards, blinded by the money, unanimously lied to the boss. They said they found the siblings in the studio and silenced them. So, the boss, knowing the Inkster family was six people strong, never pursued it further, thinking all the Inksters had perished."

Tarquin frowned deeply, "Who took them away?"

"The bodyguards didn't recognize him, said they'd never seen him before, and haven't since. That man said he was acting on the boss's son's orders."

"...He didn't say why he took the Keith siblings?"

"No, just that it was an order from the boss's son."

Tarquin looked at his confidant suspiciously, causing him to panic and kneel immediately,

"I'm telling the truth, I swear I'm not lying."

Tarquin: "..."

The incident at Hill Village had somehow involved his father.
