Chapter 514
Elysia, cheeks flushed with emotion, quickly changed the subject.
“You know, life is all about moving forward. And I believe fate is fair. Life can either be a smooth sail or a rollercoaster of highs and lows.” Blossom nodded in agreement.
“Exactly. Look at you. After your great sorrow came great joy. The harder the past, the sweeter the present.
And then there’s me. My life’s been pretty steady, so I haven’t experienced those extreme ups and downs. Winona’s pretty much in the same boat, isn’t she? Her life’s been quite even-keeled too p>
When Winona’s name came up, Elysia’s brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, “Let’s keep my story between us for now. If Zane asks you, just say you couldn’t get anything out of me p>
“Got it p>
In the children’s room, Elliot stood by the door, catching every word of their conversation.
He had woken up to use the bathroom when he overheard Blossom mention Zane’s inquiry from the previous night. Curiosity piqued, he lingered by the door.
He already knew about the mysterious connection between Blossom and a secretive figure, thanks to Tarquin.
Tarquin suspected that Blossom had gone to meet this mystery person last night but ended up chatting with Zane instead. However, Axel had kept his distance to avoid raising alarm, so the details of their conversation were unknown until now.
Elliot quietly closed the door and dialed Lowell,
“Mr. Lowell, please inform Tarquin that Zane’s chat with Blossom last night had nothing to do with the mystery person.
Also, I’ve found evidence that could clear his name, but there’s a risk in going public with this video. He needs to decide how to handle it.
If this evidence won’t work, I’ll figure out another way to get him out p>
Lowell was surprised, “You found evidence already p>
“Yeah, just sent it to you. Show it to him p>
“Alright, will do p>
After hanging up, Lowell checked the evidence Elliot sent. He was both shocked and impressed.
And he couldn’t help but think: Why couldn’t I have a son like that?
But then, considering his own intellect, he quickly shifted his thought:
Why isn’t Elliot Tarquin’s son? With their combined strengths, their enemies wouldn’t stand a chance!
At the police station,
Lowell relayed Elliot’s message to Tarquin word for word.
Upon learning that Blossom and Zane’s meeting wasn’t about the mystery person, Tarquin inquired, “So what did they talk about?” “Elliot didn’t say. Should I ask him p>
“No need.” If Elliot chose not to share, there was no point in pushing for details.
Tarquin watched the video evidence Elliot had found, unsurprised. He had noticed the tiny camera on the earpiece Elliot gave him. During the scuffle, it had fallen but was quickly pocketed again. The camera had recorded everything inside the room.
His confidence in his safety rested on this piece of evidence. No matter what tactics his enemies tried, this video could prove his innocence.
He had kept it to himself for a couple of reasons. First, to ponder over the content of his conversation with the mystery man. Secondly, to see who else, besides the Bradford family, was eager to see him dead.
After a moment of silence, Tarquin decided,
“Give the video to Josiah. Have him bypass his direct supervisor and go straight to Mitchell p>
Lowell was uncertain, “We’ve never dealt with Josiah before. Can we trust him p>
“He’s trustworthy, a smart and upright man p>
