Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 880

Keith remained silent, leaving Elliot to continue pressing,

"Besides, after Mr. Inkster and Ms. Blackwood's incident, how did you even survive to end up in the hands of those traffickers? Given Gideon's ruthlessness, it's a miracle you're still breathing.

And the traffickers you encountered weren't just into child selling; they were involved in much more heinous activities! In such circumstances, why would they think to sell you off, allowing you to live?

And there's my granddad. If he didn't want grandma to adopt you, he wouldn't have made the trip down to Hill Village to talk to your foster parents personally.

If his kindness was just an act, merely to show off in front of grandma, then why didn't he just kill you on that stormy night on the mountain?" Keith's eyebrows knotted in tension, "...!"

Elliot looked him straight in the eye,

"Wouldn't it have been easier to just silence you forever? Keeping you alive, wasn't granddad afraid you'd eventually tell grandma everything? If granddad could do such monstrous things, it's unlikely he'd spare you out of mercy. So, why didn't he silence you?"

Keith remained speechless.

Elliot added, "We're all in the dark about what truly happened on the mountain that night, but you must have some idea. Think hard about the biggest impact that night had on you.
