Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1285

"Tarquin, be honest with your grandma. About the virus-did you keep it from Elysia on purpose, or were you just as clueless as the rest of us?"

Tarquin hesitated for a moment before confessing,

"Zane wanted to release the virus, then sell the cure and make a fortune. That part's true. As for the real mastermind, I'm still digging. I don't know if he's just after money or if he's got bigger plans."
