Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 399

"Ms. Thorne got spooked?"

Tarquin's voice was ice-cold.

"All this talk of hauntings, as if! Even if there were such things, they wouldn't dare cause trouble on my turf! It's gotta be someone playing tricks! Did anyone check the lip-reading expert on that video?"

"Yeah, but the footage was too blurry. They couldn't make out what Ms. Thorne was saying."

Tarquin stared at the video, lost in thought for a moment.

"Look around, see if there's any hidden gadgets or something!"

And frankly, people are far scarier than any ghost!

If it had been a ghost chatting with Elysia that night, he wouldn't be worried. But the thought of someone masquerading as a ghost to communicate with her? That was troubling.
