Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 246

Gideon squinted his eyes, exuding an aura of arrogance, yet he chose not to respond directly. Instead, he simply stated, "Try contacting him first!"

Meanwhile, in the study, Tarquin was puffing away at his cigarette, his brow furrowed and his expression sour. He was clearly not in a good mood. Lowell knew the reason and tried to offer some advice, "Don't be mad at Ms. Thorne. She's not familiar with us; it's normal for her not to trust you. She's just trying to protect herself by setting those conditions."

Tarquin continued to drag on his cigarette, not willing to engage in the conversation. He understood the logic, but the fact that she didn't trust him irked him nheless!

And now, the upcoming family gathering was going to be even more of a challenge. He said Elijah was getting better, but if Elijah wasn't, it would be his reputation on the line!

And the request for Elijah to give a speech, there was no way to dodge it now. But how could Elijah possibly stand up and deliver a speech in his current state?

Seeing him so troubled, Lowell changed the subject to divert his attention, "I just got word today. Gideon has identified the person who breached our security system. It's Alpha Thorne."

Tarquin lifted his eyelids slightly to glance at him.

"The sharp-eyed, never-loses Alpha?"

"Yes! The one who invested billions last year and made a fortune, almost catching up to your worth!"
