Chapter 435
In his eyes, five-year-old kids are usually adorable bundles of confusion, lacking in both intelligence and guile. That’s why he couldn’t fathom what was going on with Tarquin today; he just couldn’t follow the kid’s train of thought. At this moment, Tarquin had already turned his gaze towards the window… He was smoking a cigarette, his stylish brows furrowed deeply.
He had never doubted Elliot, Evan, and Emmett before, but today’s incident with Nola pointed directly at them. Nola was a no-brainer, the epitome of dumb, inept, and nasty! Despite her malice, she wasn’t cunning—after all, you need brains to hatch schemes, and she had none. That’s precisely why he became suspicious of the messages she sent today. She must have discovered something to be sending him those frantic messages, urging him to go check out Elysia’s kids at the preschool! Then, there were those bizarre posts on her social media accounts. And after that, she just vanished, and even he couldn’t track her down.
Tracing back the sequence of events, it all started with Elliot’s comment about her being pregnant. From that comment, problems began to surface, fermenting until they reached this point. Another thing that raised his suspicion… There were so many videos and photos from the preschool incident online. Many kids and teachers got caught on camera, but Elysia’s three sons were conspicuously absent. Under normal circumstances, they should have appeared, especially since Nola was closest to them. Why could everyone around Nola be filmed, but not them? It could only mean someone manipulated the situation, removing any photos or videos related to them.
Additionally, there was another issue… After the preschool incident, Nola’s PR team immediately tried to clamp down on the story. But they couldn’t contain it, and strangely, not a single discussion online involved the kids. Didn’t anyone wonder why a five-year-old would know about Nola’s pregnancy? What was their relationship with Nola? Surely, people were curious, but someone was steering the narrative, deliberately ignoring this question.
So… Piecing everything together, he couldn’t help but suspect Elliot, Evan, and Emmett. And with the way Elijah acted after leaving their house today, he was even more convinced that Elliot, Evan, and Emmett were no ordinary kids, and they were somehow involved in Nola’s situation. Now, with the kids sneaking out in the middle of the night, his suspicions were all but confirmed. He couldn’t look at them as just five-year-old kids anymore! The world was full of extraordinary occurrences, most unknown to the public, and he was somewhat familiar with these matters p>
But still, Elysia wasn’t exactly sharp, so how could her children be so brilliant? How could a woman of limited intellect give birth to such geniuses? Who was their father? Or was this exceptional intelligence not inherited at all, but purely a matter of talent?
He was deep in thought when suddenly, Axel’s call came through, “I lost them. Those kids are sharp. If I keep tailing them, they’ll definitely notice me.” He wasn’t surprised, “They’re heading to the Marriott Hotel. Approach from a different direction, and try not to let them spot you p>
“Got it p>
After hanging up, he pocketed his phone and lit another cigarette. He had many questions for Elliot and Evan, but before he confronted them, he needed to figure out what exactly they were up to tonight. In this game of cat and mouse, he intended to be the cunning sparrow, waiting for his moment.
