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!"

"Little devil, huh? Little devil," he chuckled, a hint of irony in his voice.

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.

The next moment, Lowell's voice came from out of the door, "This place looks deserted. Should we check it out? He might be hiding inside."

"Break in!"

Elliot's brow furrowed tighter as he quickly climbed out the window, too. He slid down the drainpipe to the ground floor and swiftly left Sunshine Community.

Leaving the place, Elliot was deeply troubled. He was wary of this masked man. Today's encounter had been fruitless, gleaning no information. It wasn't even clear if the man was targeting Tarquin or them.
