Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 947

Gideon held his tongue, his eyes flashing a silent warning.

Alpha, however, didn't seem perturbed. With a frosty demeanor, he said, "The fact that I'm here in person should speak volumes about my sincerity. You should know, I rarely meet with business partners face to face. My dealings are usually online. My presence today signifies my genuine interest in collaborating with you.

I just want to see Elizabeth’s ashes to confirm you actually have something on Tarquin!”

Gideon felt a surge of relief, “Yeah, I trust you!”

Alpha continued, “Since we're laying it all out, let me be blunt. I want to see Elizabeth’s ashes. If you try to fool me with a fake, not only will our deal be off, but I'll also be very upset. And you wouldn’t like me when I’m upset.”

Gideon quickly reassured, “Don't worry, I'm well aware of your clout. If I didn’t have something solid on Tarquin, I wouldn’t dare propose this to you.”

Alpha nodded, “If you’re not lying, then our partnership will be very fruitful. I can help you navigate through this crisis and even reclaim the Bradford Group. We can sign the contract tonight, and the funds will be transferred immediately.”

Gideon was ecstatic, “Great! I'll keep my word. I only want the Bradford Group. As for Tarquin’s other assets, they're all yours.”

Alpha simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Gideon then turned to his confidant, “Bring Elizabeth’s ashes here.”

The confidant nodded and left the room.

Elysia, sitting in front of the computer screen, eyes wide, exclaimed, “Gideon wants to take over your dad’s company?”

Elijah frowned, “It’s not just about taking over the company. He wants to ruin Dad, leave him with nothing.”

Elysia clenched her teeth, “Scum! Your dad is his own grandson! And he’s so old, he might not even see tomorrow’s sun. Why is he after the company?”

“He’s been power-hungry all his life. Family means nothing compared to power. As long as he’s alive, he’ll keep fighting, till the day he dies.”
