Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 497

Axel led Blossom and Evan upstairs.

After settling Blossom into her room, Evan dashed back to his own, frantically dialing Elliot. "Bro, there's a problem!"

"I'm already aware," Elliot responded calmly.

Panic was evident in Evan's voice, "The cops suspect that jerk Tarquin of murder and took him in! I told them he's innocent, but they wouldn't listen to me. It was clearly the stand-in who jumped on his own. I saw it with my own eyes; I can testify!"

So, even though Evan disliked Tarquin, he repeatedly told the officers that Tarquin wasn't the culprit.

Watching Tarquin being taken away still made him anxious, worried, and restless!

Elliot explained, "The cops taking him is just procedure, not that they don't believe you. He was at the scene, so naturally, he's a suspect.
