Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 854

Elysia took a deep breath, her voice heavy with emotion,

"Keith himself didn't even know. He said after he blacked out, the next thing he knew, he was in the hands of some traffickers." Tarquin frowned, puzzled. "How?"

Gideon's security was sharp and cautious; it was impossible they didn't sweep the area while cleaning up the mess.

And Keith was so young, how did he manage to escape from under the noses of professional bodyguards?

"What about his sister?"

"No clue," Elysia replied. "Keith said when he woke up, his sister was nowhere to be found. He hasn't mentioned anything about her whereabouts since."

Tarquin was silent for a few seconds before asking another question, "Then why does he hate the entire Bradford family? This was Gideon's doing. What do the others have to do with it?"

Elysia grew agitated again, "Gideon is a monster, and so are the rest of the Bradfords..."

Keith's hatred for the rest of the Bradford family was not only because of Gideon but also due to Phineas' art studio.
