Chapter 759
They turned away a woman who could publicly lead the CEO around by the nose!
And after refusing her entry, they ogled her for a good while, even sneaking in a few whispers: “Man, that lady is stunning.” Holy smokes, just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine!
A few young security guards were scared out of their wits and rushed to report the incident to the head of security.
The head of security, shaken up as well, immediately contacted the executive office.
Soon enough, the news reached Lowell’s ears. Lowell, upon hearing it, pressed his lips together and said to Tarquin’s assistant,
“Those guys at the door really have some nerve! They actually dared to turn away the boss’s lady. I wouldn’t dare p>
The assistant, shivering with fear, asked, “The boss’s lady? Ms. Thorne is our boss’s lady p>
Lowell didn’t respond directly, piquing the assistant’s curiosity. Unable to hold back, he asked,
“Hasn’t Mr. Bradford been looking for his son’s mother? How did he end up with Ms. Thorne? What’s the deal between her and Mr. Bradford?” After a moment of thought, Lowell said,
“Don’t pry into things you shouldn’t, but you guys have to know, Elysia, she’s your boss’s queen bee! The big cheese p>
The assistant: p>
After turning her away, Lowell hurriedly called Tarquin to report the situation.
Tarquin, his mind preoccupied with Elysia, didn’t answer and hung up.
He could tell Elysia was in a bad mood, a really bad mood.
Wrapped in a shroud of oppressive and negative emotions, she let out a sigh of relief as soon as their car left the Bradford Group and asked why he had suddenly shown up there.
He lied, saying he had business dealings with the Bradford Group and just happened to see her while he was there on some business.
She immediately furrowed her brows, nervously saying,
“Try to minimize dealings with the Bradford Group in the future p>
He asked, “Why p>
She didn’t answer, resting her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed, clearly not in the mood to talk.
He was full of questions but didn’t dare ask.
All he could do was hold her close, quietly keeping her company.
As they neared the hospital, seeing that she was still not in good spirits, Tarquin softly asked,
“Do you want to go straight to the hospital to see the kids, or would you rather rest somewhere first p>
Elysia opened her eyes to look outside and said, “Let’s not go to the kids just yet p>
She was in no state to see them; it would only worry them.
“Shall I find a place for you to rest first p>
“Okay p>
There was a hotel nearby. Tarquin booked a room and took Elysia to rest.
Upon entering the room, Elysia went straight to bed, not bothering to wash up or change her clothes, completely deflated.
Tarquin felt sorry for her but was clueless about what was troubling her. He could only lie beside her, holding her, and silently accompany her until she fell asleep p>
After making sure she was sound asleep, Tarquin carefully withdrew his arm, tiptoed out of bed, and tenderly touched Elysia’s face before tucking her in. He then took his phone and left the room.
Stepping out of the bedroom, his expression immediately darkened.
Frowning, his face grim, he stood on the large balcony of the top-floor suite. From here, he could see the Lawson family’s hospital and distant mountains.
Tarquin lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before calling Lowell.
He inquired about what Elysia had said to the security guards and also asked for information about Daphne and the others!
He could tell Elysia’s mood today had something to do with those women!
Lowell first recounted the incident with the security guards. Tarquin was surprised,
“She went to the Bradford Group to see me p>
“Yeah, that’s what the security at the door said p>
Tarquin: p>
She wasn’t going to see her husband? Why did she want to see me?
