Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1538

It was fine that Winona used to love Zane, because she didn't know his true nature back then. But to still love him after knowing the truth? That meant her values were all messed up! Could someone with a twisted moral compass be a public figure? She refused to believe Shifra didn't understand the severity of the situation! Suppressing her anger, Elysia asked Blossom, "Is Winona with you right now?" "Yeah, her agent is here. They're talking in the study." "Did Shifra call Winona?" "Of course she did, but Winona didn't pick up. So she had Mr. Huber call. The second Winona answered, Shifra started crying and apologizing. I almost threw up listening to it! If Winona hadn't stopped me, I would have grabbed the phone and cursed her out up and down!" Elysia frowned. "What did Keaton say?" Blossom was fuming. "What could he say? Apologize on behalf of his girlfriend, of course! And then he said he'd take responsibility for the damages caused to Winona! How is he going to do that? Pay her? Winona might not be as rich as him, but she's not short on money!" Elysia was angry too. "You take care of Winona for now. I'll have Tarquin go talk to him!" Just then, Tarquin came out to the terrace looking for her. Hearing the tone of Elysia's voice, he was puzzled. And she had used his full name, which clearly meant she was angry! Tarquin had no idea what he had done to upset her and cautiously walked over with an apologetic smile. "What took so long? Aren't you cold?" Elysia shot him a look that could kill, her eyes burning with fury. Tarquin was even more confused. "Blossom, I'll talk to you later. Let's catch up later." Elysia hung up the phone, her brow furrowed as she glared at him, grinding her teeth. "Do you know about what happened with Winona?" Tarquin genuinely didn't. "What happened to her?" Elysia opened TikTok and pulled up the trending topics. "Take a good look!" Tarquin quickly scanned through them and finally understood. That jackass Keaton—he's the ultimate liability! He'd been implicated by him yet again! Because he and Keaton were close, whenever Winona got hurt because of Keaton, Elysia would take it out on him! Last time it was because of Beatrix Sutton, and Elysia had chewed him out. Then it was Alicia, and Elysia had chewed him out again. It had only been a few days, and now Keaton had unleashed a Shifra! Tarquin mentally cursed Keaton a few times, then said with a frown, "That son of a bitch Keaton needs to be taught a lesson again. You wait. When I get back to Jindale City, I'll beat him up! After I'm done, I'll hand him over to Winona. I wouldn't even care if she decided to have him neutered!" Elysia's brow was still furrowed in anger. "What good would beating him up do? What good would neutering him do? Can that make up for what Winona has been through?" "Tarquin, does our Winona owe your friend something? Ever since she met him, she hasn’t had a moment of peace!" "First, Beatrix came to our door to provoke her. Then Alicia smashed her head open, forcing Winona to get stitches! Her wound isn't even fully healed, and now Shifra has thrown her into the eye of a public storm!" "No one cares what kind of girlfriends Keaton dates, but can he please not drag our Winona into it?!" "He helped Winona, sure, but he can't just keep tormenting her like this!' Tarquin frowned, his expression serious. "Don't you dare call him my friend. He's not my friend anymore! A scumbag like that doesn't deserve to be my friend!" "Calm down first. Ask Winona how she wants to handle this. She just has to say the word; she won't have to lift a finger. I'll arrange for people to do it." " If she wants Keaton gone, I’ll handle the dirty work and make sure no one ever finds the body. Tonight." Elysia was speechless. Tarquin's attitude was so cooperative that her anger subsided a little.
