Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 959

Mention of the old madman softened Gideon's expression.

He knew all too well the capabilities of that lunatic. If Tarquin were to seek him out, forget about snatching any ashes, he'd be signing his own death warrant!

"Sir, are you worried that Alpha's addendum might be a trap?" his confidant inquired further.

Gideon sighed,

"It's a bit surprising, but understandable. The addendum looks intimidating, but as long as the ashes are fine, it poses no threat to us."

"So, we sign it?"

"Sign it! Call him up!"

"Right, once the contract is signed, our crisis will be averted. When Master Tarquin finds out, his jaw will drop, hahaha."

Gideon also let out a sinister laugh, his face gleaming with schadenfreude.

Elliot didn’t hesitate for a second after getting the call, and immediately signed the electronic contract with them.

Once the contract was signed, a cold glint flashed in Elliot's eyes.

The prey was cleaned and laid bare on the table, ready for the skinning and deboning!

Now, it was time for the slaughter!

"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking came.

Elysia stood outside the door, asking, "Elliot, Evan, Elijah, are you guys in the study?"

She had been feeling uneasy all day, and by nightfall, her anxiety had doubled.

She didn't know what was going on. After putting Baby and Emmett to sleep, she went looking for Elliot.

Finding Elliot and Elijah absent from their rooms, she headed to the study.

Elliot and Elijah exchanged a glance, an unspoken understanding between them.

Elliot closed his laptop, "I'll get the door."

Elijah nodded solemnly, "Hmm."

The study door swung open, and Elysia asked,

"Why are you still not in your rooms at this hour? What are you doing in the study?"

Elysia stepped into the study, "Hmm? Where’s Evan?"

"…Evan went out, he's with Dad right now."
