Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 204

Gideon was visibly upset. “Then out with it. What’s the deal?”

Tarquin’s expression was nonchalent as he said, “I just wanted to ask you what you were discussing with Mike before Lionel’s incident?” Mentioning Mike caused Gideon’s expression to shift dramatically! He glared, eyes fixed intently on Tarquin.

“Who’s Mike?”

I think I know. A while back, Lionel and his crew bullied a girl. She ended up taking her own life, and Mike was her brother.”

“Does this mean Lionel was killed by Mike?”

“He’s just a nobody. Without someone backing him, he’d never get close to Lionel. I bet he’s just a pawn, there’s gotta be a mastermind behind the scene.”
