The expressions on Thorpe and Hollis’s faces soured instantly.
Hollis’s smile twitched, his previously affable grin near breaking point. “You’re… pulling my leg, right?”
Noella chuckled lightly, her head held high with a touch of arrogance as she looked down at a somewhat flustered Hollis.
“Whether I’m joking or not, you’ll have the chance to find out. But if I’m not, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle the repercussions.”
“As Lunaris, aren’t you afraid of the backlash for pulling such a stunt?”
Noella shrugged nonchalantly. “Who cares? If Cerulean Whale had the chops, they wouldn’t be perennial underdogs, right? Why aren’t you guys the top hit squad on the deep web? Is it because you don’t fancy the title?
Of course, it was a matter of not having enough power!
Thinking that Cerulean Whale alone could make the entire deep web condemn Lunaris was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Palmer chuckled along. “It’s not that complicated. If they die here, who’s to know?”
The smile finally vanished from Hollis’s face. “Spill it, what do you want to know? You’re aware I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed; I tend to forget things.”
“What went down when the Pollack family had their baby?”
Hollis let out a deep sigh, signaling Thorpe to cool his jets. “In a nutshell, it’s a classic game of getting rid of the mom and switching the baby. You follow, Ms. Schnabel?”
Xavier pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Hollis’s head! “Watch your damn manners! Speak to her like that again, and I’ll feed your brains to the fishes!”
Hollis chuckled and shook his head, pushing Xavier’s gun aside with a finger. “Let’s not be so dramatic; my brains aren’t that tasty. Spare a thought for your fish. We didn’t exert much effort in that mess. It was mostly the Pollack family’s own power struggle.”
The Pollack family’s grand feud had cost Palmer his mother too. No wonder the Pollack sons never recovered.
Noella frowned slightly. “Second matter: was Harriet’s child born at Tandy Hospital?”
Hollis nodded coolly. “Yes, and then we took the baby. Ran into a dim–witted woman itching to marry Marcel. Ambitious but brainless. We handed the kid over. Heard Marcel divorced her anyway. Hilarious.”
