Chapter 252 Tarquin flicked his cigarette ash with a look of disdain. "First think about how you can convince Elijah. I'm not just asking him to attend; I want him to give a speech in front of everyone. If you screw this up, you won't get a dime." Elysia was brimming with confidence, "A public speech? Piece of cake, no problem at all!" Seeing her full of confidence, Tarquin squinted his eyes, "You have a plan?" "Yep!" "What's the plan?" Elysia immediately shot him a wary look, "It's a secret! A top-secret!" "You're not even gonna tell me?" "Especially not you. You're not privy to this information!" Tarquin was dumbfounded.

"As long as you can handle it, money is no object." Elysia stood tall and proud, "I'll nail it, 100%. Just make sure you have the money ready!" Elliot had already thought of a plan for her, so that 50 thousand dollars was as good as hers! At this moment, Elysia was happy, and even Tarquin was in a good mood.
To him, any problem that money could solve wasn't a problem at all. Her love for money only made her easier for him to control.
Tarquin took another drag of his cigarette and then said, "There's one more thing." "What's up?" "I've warned you, don't get any ideas about me." Elysia was taken aback. It took her a moment to realize he was referring to today's 'inappropriate advance!! She pouted and retorted with a flushed face, "I admit I looked at you a bit more today, but to say I'm interested in you just because of that is ridiculous! Do you think you're as beloved as a dollar bill, loved by everyone? I'll have you know, I don't like you one bit!" "Good, I have someone in my heart." "And I have people in mine too! Quite a few!" So having someone in your heart is something special? As if everyone doesn't have a few names in theirs, like Elliot, Evan, Emmett, including Elijah, they're all in her heart.

Elysia had a three-second meltdown, furious, "Are you out of your mind? Spouting nonsense! Zane is my best friend's husband! He and I are just friends! Saying that is even worse than saying I like you! Are you picking a fight on purpose?" Her attitude was hostile, and Tarquin frowned slightly, "Why are you angry? If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about, unless there's something you're guilty of." "You... You accuseand now I can't get angry?" "I didn't accuse you, I was just asking." "You can't just ask!" Elysia was seething, "From now on, unless it's about Elijah, don't talk to me! And for the last time, I don't like you! Narcissist!" "You..." "Buzz off!" "Elysia!" "Don't you dare call me!" Tarquin's face turned stormy, utterly provoked, "You dare insult me?" "I wish I could hit you! Narcissist! Lunatic! Open the door! I'm getting out!" "You..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and m open it! If you don't, I'm calling the e cops!".
Tarquin, with a grim face, pursed his lips, silently repeating Elijah's na hundred times in his head to calm himself, and finally unlocked the door. "You're crazy!" "Not as crazy as you!" Elysia huffed off the car, slammed the door, and walked away! Tarquin, infuriated, felt pain in his heart, liver, lungs... everything hurt.
He slammed the steering wheel hard and floored the gas pedal, driving away!
From a corner, a shadowy figure watched Tarquin's departure, then glanced at Elysia walking away, and chuckled slyly, "They're fighting. Hehe, they're fighting..." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
