Chapter 1119
But looking at Emmett, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
“As long as Emmett chooses me, I’m willing to give her anything in compensation. Plus, with this money, Emmett won’t feel guilty about not coming back to her. Besides, looking at it from another angle, our Emmett being grateful is a good thing p>
“That’s true. Our Emmett is the most understanding p>
As noon approached, Tarquin returned.
Elysia took Evan and Emmett back to Blossom’s hospital room.
She handed the child over to Blossom and pulled Tarquin into the hallway.
“How did it go p>
“I’ve got no issues on my end. Cecil has no evidence to claim Emmett was kidnapped by us, but he’s still being interrogated at the police station p>
Elysia let out a sigh of relief. “Can we get him jailed p>
Getting Cecil jailed would be a win, not just for Emmett, but for Claire and Maria, too!
Tarquin didn’t nod or shake his head, responding pragmatically,
“There’s no surveillance at the gambling spot. If our witness changes their testimony, we can’t prove the gambling charges, and as for the domestic abuse… it depends on what Claire says p>
Elysia frowned, then hurriedly asked,
“What about that mysterious person? Didn’t you say he died in a plane crash?!” Mentioning the mysterious person, a harsh glint passed through Tarquin’s eyes. On the way back from the police station, he had already discussed it with Elliot and Elijah.
The fact that the mysterious person suddenly messaged Elysia, especially with useless information, was likely a warning and provocation.
Elysia’s number was supposed to be protected, so unsolicited messages should have been intercepted by Elliot and the others.
Even if they couldn’t block it, Elliot and Elijah should have been aware of it and seen the content through their electronic devices.
But the photo and message sent by the mysterious person to Elysia were unknown to Elliot and Elijah.
They guessed that the mysterious person was sending them a signal:
They couldn’t control him, and he could emerge at any time to harm Elysia!
However, what Tarquin couldn’t figure out was the mysterious person’s actual motive for orbiting around him!
If his parents were involved in the
underground lab work in Karl Town and took something from there to
handover to the gove
AQUAS
After his parents died, the mysterious person might suspect that item was with
him, constantly watching him to find it.
But then, why would the mysterious person want to kill him?
The mysterious person had been inciting Elysia to kill him, and when Baby was kidnapped, the mysterious Pruly intended to put him to death!
If he died, how would the mysterious person find the item through him?
Tarquin sighed inwardly, telling Elysia,
“He’s lucky, survived the crash, but don’t worry. The photo today was taken with remote surveillance equipment p>
“I’ve arranged a bodyguard for you.
He won’t get close to you. Just live your life without worry, and if he sends you another message, tell me immediately, just like today,
Elysia’s brows knitted together,
QUMS
“What’s with this guy? What grudge does he have with you p>
“It’s probably some old scores left by my parents. Once we settle Emmett’s
matter, I’ll go back and thoroughly investigate him p>
Elysia quickly asked, “Any leads p>
“Yes p>
The illegitimate son of Verity Bradford was still in his grasp.
This illegitimate son, having returned from Karl Town, surely knew a lot.
Even if he disclosed nothing, Tarquin had other ways to investigate.
Thinking about his identity… Tarquin’s brow furrowed, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.
He hoped he was wrong, he hoped not!
