Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 202

“Nobody knows for sure, but ever since the incident, Gideon’s people have been on the hunt for that girl’s brother. I reckon they’re aiming to silence him for good.”

Tarquin furrowed his brows. “Find him and send him to Charlie’s,”

Lowell asked, “To Charlie’s to chip rocks?”

“Better than ending up dead at Gideon’s hands.”

In today’s world, life’s already stacked against the poor. If you’ve got money and power, you’re set. Without it, you’re nothing. Too many have suffered and died in silence, just like that girl!

Lionel’s death was a heavy sin, but why should her brother pay the price?

The darkness in society runs deeper than most folks realize, with only glimpses shown in movies.

Rich brats like Lionel, with their endless dirty deeds, are a dime a dozen!

His death should be a cause for celebration!

That girl’s brother is not a criminal here; he’s a hero!

But Gideon’s clever, using others to do his dirty work. Looks like Tarquin had been too lenient with him lately. Time to crack him down again!
