Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 992

In the dead of night, when the world seemed to pause, Elysia and the kids were deeply asleep, enveloped in the comforting embrace of dreams.

Tarquin, with the stealth of a cat, carefully slid out from under the covers and made his way to the study.

The glow of the computer screen illuminated his solemn face as he scanned through the messages. The audacity of those women to mock Elysia’s origins! What right did they have?

To them, a background like theirs was nothing compared to Elysia’s. After all, Elysia was the sole heiress to the Hawkins empire in Oceanopolis, led by the indomitable Clayton Hawkins!

The Hawkins name was synonymous with wealth and power, casting a longer shadow over Oceanopolis than even the Bradfords did over Jindale City.

There was a saying that circulated online: It wasn't Oceanopolis that belonged to the Hawkins family, but rather, the Hawkins family that owned Oceanopolis!

The reach of the Hawkins empire was vast, with Hawkins Sea-freight standing out as their crown jewel. Renowned globally, it dominated the maritime industry, its ships fortified with formidable defenses that even the most audacious pirates dared not challenge.

This invincibility stemmed from four key factors: their unmatched weaponry, Clayton Hawkins’ fierce loyalty and protectiveness, their untouchable reputation, and a network of powerful alliances.

Clayton, the self-made patriarch, was known for his integrity and an unwavering resolve to defend his family’s name at all costs. His patriotic spirit was legendary; he had openly declared his willingness to donate his entire fleet to the nation in times of need.
