Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 200

So, the higher–ups went straight to Gideon, insisting that the Bradford family handle the situation privately and swiftly.

Gideon, of course, didn’t want the family’s reputation tarnished. He promptly announced that Lionel’s death was due to a sudden, fatal reaction to alcohol. Not a whisper about drugs, and he wouldn’t dare mention the notorious Military Courtyard One.

Allegra was beside herself with grief, confronting Gideon, demanding justice, and accusing Tarquin of murdering her boy in an act of revenge against her!
