Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 770

After what seemed like an eternity, Daphne's face was swollen, her lips bleeding, and she had passed out!

Juliet's hands were swollen from hitting, and she was sobbing so hard she could barely breathe, her heart shattered into pieces!

It was only then that Tarquin called a halt.

Ignoring her own throbbing hands, Juliet wrapped her arms around her daughter, crying as if her soul was tearing apart.

Red-eyed, Blake asked, "Can we leave now?"

Tarquin flicked his cigarette ash, barely glancing at him through lifted eyelids.

Leave? Not a chance.

What came next was designed to cut to the bone.

Tarquin declared, "For insulting my son, you owe a million! For insulting my partner, another million!"

Blake was livid, "You've beaten my daughter to a pulp, and now you're demanding money?!"

"If you don't want to pay, her tongue will suffice," Tarquin retorted coldly.

Blake gasped, the thought of forking over money he had just secured was like signing his own death warrant!
