Chapter 462
Evan’s eyes lit up. “What’s the plan p>
“Just wait and see. Don’t worry. With me on your side, the Slater family won’t make Elysia come over! I’ll handle this mess for you. Just do as I say. Let the doctor check you over, and if you’re all good, I’ll let you go. Now, let’s go find Elliot and Emmett p>
Tarquin spoke with the warmth of a doting father.
Evan felt a soothing touch on his heart as he gazed at Tarquin, his little face a mix of emotions. Without further resistance, he allowed himself to be carried towards the stables.
Once they arrived, Tarquin had a doctor examine Evan to make sure the lad was alright before letting him go. Evan hurried back to Elliot, rubbing his hands together with a guilty expression.
“Bro, I think I’ve caused another mess p>
Elliot ruffled his hair. “Don’t sweat it. The cleanup crew has arrived. Mom won’t find out p>
The commotion today was quite something, and Elliot was a bit worried, but he felt reassured after seeing the messages from Tarquin and Elijah. Evan glanced at Tarquin. “Can he really handle it p>
“Absolutely! Like I’ve told you, as long as it doesn’t involve Mom, he’s a genius. Just watch p>
Soon, it was time for the showdown. Their house was a wreck, the living room a disastrous and stinking mess, impossible to enter, so they gathered in the stable’s lounge to deal with today’s debacle.
Tarquin lounged in a chair with his legs crossed, the three kids seated beside him. Together, they were an intimidating force, like a mob boss out with his crew, demanding respect.
Facing them were Donovan, Nola, and Aileen. Donovan had rushed back from the office upon hearing the news, his face grim, still unclear on the full extent of the situation. Aileen, having fainted and been rudely awakened, looked utterly deflated, as if she’d been resurrected. Only Nola seemed to channel her grief into fury, ready for battle. She wailed about her losses, detailing the damages and the kids’ alleged crimes.
“My jewelry, bags, clothes, and all those expensive perfumes, destroyed! Even the coral gemstone Mom bought for 500 million dollars got smashed! All those priceless antiques at home, ruined, even the Slater family’s heirloom vase didn’t survive! It’s all their fault p>
Donovan shot up, his eyes nearly popping out. “The ancestral vase is broken p>
“Smashed to bits, beyond repair! Dad, Grandpa, and our ancestors are gonna rise from their graves looking for you! You must avenge this p>
Donovan slumped back, ashen-faced. Nola pointed accusingly at the three kids.
“These troublemakers did it! They wrecked our home! The Slater family demands compensation, double the loss! Call their parents, let’s settle this. If they can’t pay, they’ll pay with their lives! Or let that woman Elysia rot in jail forever p>
Aileen sneaked a glance at Tarquin. She was a clever woman. She knew Tarquin was here for the kids, and she feared he might defend them. Suppressing her rage, Aileen turned to Tarquin with a pitiful look, choking up.
“Tarquin, it’s not that we want to be hard on the kids, but the Slater family’s loss today is too great. We can’t just overlook it. We need to discuss compensation with their parents p>
The Slater family and the three kids all turned to Tarquin. With a slight frown and a lift of his eyelids, Tarquin spoke coldly.
“I am their guardian. What does the Slater family want to discuss p>
