Chapter 280

The moment Elysia was mentioned, Elliot's face turned icy cold.

"I never planned on killing Tarquin, nor did I ever want you to play daddy. Of course, if there's something between you and Tarquin, that's none of my business. But, if you dare target my mom, I won't let you off the hook!"

Right after his words hung in the air, he seemed to sense something and suddenly leaped out of the window.

Elliot rushed to the window only to find no trace of the masked man. The man vanished without a trace, like a ghost.
