NovelOnlineChapter 254 Elliot had been sleuthing around for days on end, trying to dig up anything he could on the mysterious figure haunting their mom, but to no avail.
He even went through the list of all the potential enemies Elysia might have, but cup empty-handed.
As for Tarquin's enemies, well, that was a list too long to even start with, leaving them with no suspects at all. So, the masked figure remained just that - a mystery.
"Since we've got a creep on our hands, be extra careful when you and Mom go for your walks downstairs. Stay safe, okay?" "Absolutely, don't worry. No one's touching us witharound. Huh? Did that jerk Tarquin send you a message?" Evan was glued to Elliot's tablet screen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was flooded with messages from Tarquin, whom Elliot had saved under his name.
Elliot nodded. "He knows I got something from Gideon Bradford, and now he wants it." "What does he want with it?" "It's valuable; everyone's after it." Evan was intrigued, "Is it really that powerful?" "Yeah, don't let its looks deceive you. It packs a punch." "Then why don't you just use it to make that jerk Tarquin divorce our mom?" "Mom's been tied up with Elijah's stuff recently. She's not in a rush to divorce. Plus..." Elliot had been rethinking the whole divorce idea because, despite everything, he realized Tarquin wasn't entirely useless.
If it hadn't been for Tarquin, Elysia might have been seriously hurt in that incident Allegra orchestrated.
Fair's fair, Tarquin did save their mom once.
"Plus what?" Evan was curious.
"Never mind." Just as Elliot finished, the tablet pinged twice more - this time, it was Gideon reaching out.
Tarquin was after Baby ET's Support One, namely Mr. E.
Gideon was after Alpha Thorne.
Neither knew Mr. E and Alpha were the sperson, let alone that it was Elliot.
"Elliot, didn't you and Gideon wrap up your deal? Why's he still reaching out?" "He wants to team up withagainst Tarquin." Evan was confused. "But isn't Gideon Tarquin's grandfather? Aren't they family? Mom always says families should stick together and love each other. Why don't they love each other?" Elliot sighed, "In a normal family, yes, but the Bradfords are anything but normal." Evan pouted, "We should get Mom to divorce that jerk Tarquin sooner rather than later. She shouldn't have to deal with that dysfunctional family. They're not worthy of our mom." "Yeah, I'll handle it. Now that we have something Tarquin wants, we can make them divorce anytmom's ready." Elliot wasn't as concerned about the divorce now; his main worry was the masked man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe less he found out, the more anxious he became.
He felt the masked man was like a ticking tbomb, ready to explode at any moment! The next morning, it was Lowell who picked up Elysia.
When they arrived at Sunshine Community, Elysia didn't even see Tarquin.
Which was fine by her; she didn't ask where he went, focusing instead on spending twith Elijah.
She brought up the topic of paying respects to their ancestors with Elijah, who coldly replied, "I'm only going to pay respects to my grandpa, no one else!"
Elysia tried to broach another topic, but Elijah cut her off "don't want to roffy" talk about it." Elysia felt helpless but didn't want to upset Elijah further, so she dropped it.
Tflew, and before they knew it, the eve of the family ceremony had arrived.
