Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 731

The room fell into a stunned silence.

This included the Bradfords, the big shots, and even Tarquin.

Everyone's eyes were on Elysia, scanning her from head to toe, each with a different expression.

No one spoke; clearly, they didn't believe her words!

Even Tarquin thought she was just saying this to get him out of a tight spot.

He quickly got up and made his way to her, his face unable to hide his adoration.

Seeing her seemed to melt away the icy demeanor he had just moments ago, transforming him into a completely different person.

He took a few steps to reach her, took her hand gently in front of everyone, and asked with a soft tone, "What brings you here all of a sudden, worried about me?"

Elysia: I'm worried about the money!

She scanned the room, recognizing only a few Bradfords. The rest were strangers to her.

She thought they were all Bradfords, all Tarquin's rivals. Without greeting anyone and looking displeased, she pulled Tarquin aside, lowered her voice, and asked, "Did you give them money?"
