Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1877

But Jae-hyun Kim and Zane Livingston were undeniably two completely different people!

Whether looking at their physical appearances or their background history, there was absolutely no overlap.

Tarquin thought for a moment before turning to the boys.

"Then it's settled. Emmett will compete, and we'll take the opportunity to head to Koryon and dig deep into Jae-hyun Kim."

Whether Jae-hyun had ties to Zane or not, a thorough investigation was the right move.

After all, his intentions toward Elysia were far from innocent!

And on the off chance he actually *was* connected to Zane, he would be a massive threat to both Elysia and Winona!

The sooner they uncovered his true identity, the sooner they could eliminate the danger.

Remembering a strategic detail, Tarquin added,

"By the way, if we want to catch Gavin off guard, Emmett shouldn't participate in the domestic preliminary rounds..."

After father and sons finalized their plan, Tarquin called Old Mr. Gibson back.

"Mr. Gibson, Emmett will participate."

Old Mr. Gibson let out a massive sigh of relief.

"Good boy. I'm just glad he's willing."

"Quincy and I always had completely different styles. He focused strictly on preserving the ancient, while I lean toward modern integration. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to put Emmett on the front lines."

"Ah, it's a shame that stubborn old fool died so early. If he were around, Gavin wouldn't even have the chance to pull these stunts!"

"Quincy was fiercely patriotic. The moment he found out Gavin was siding with Koryon, he would have cleaned house immediately!"

Old Mr. Gibson had no idea that Quincy had faked his death, nor did he know that Emmett was directly mentored by him.

All he knew was that Emmett was an absolute prodigy.

Before faking his death, Quincy and Old Mr. Gibson had been professional rivals, constantly dismissing each other's artistic styles.

But beneath it all, both men loved their country deeply.

When it came to national honor, the two had an unspoken understanding—they would instantly form a united front!

That was exactly why Old Mr. Gibson was keeping such a close eye on the tournament. He refused to let his old rival's life's work fall into the hands of a traitor like Gavin!

Tarquin didn't mention the truth about Quincy's faked death. Instead, he simply outlined their planned schedule.
