Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 772

News spread quickly among the Bradfords - they had found Daphne!

The mood in the Bradford household soared with excitement. After days of tension and worry, they were finally able to rejoice, each more thrilled than the last.

"Fantastic! We've finally found her! Daphne's return will blow Elysia's cover as the mistress! Let's see how Tarquin will handle this mess!"

"And as for his bunch of illegitimate children thinking they can claim a piece of the Bradford fortune... Not a chance!"

"The Bradfords are a family of high standing and principles. We never tolerate mistreatment of the rightful spouse in favor of a mistress. The wife is the wife, and a mistress is just that—a mistress. If Elysia dares to cause trouble for Daphne, I'll personally make her regret it!"

The Bradfords were filled with righteous indignation, buzzing with energy.

Gideon, with the 10% stake in his mind, also breathed a sigh of relief. With Daphne found, he felt more at ease.

He immediately made arrangements to keep the Thornes well-fed and comfortable for the time being, saving them for later use!
