Chapter 744
Elliot was spot on; their priority should be to figure out if Keith was indeed the shadowy figure behind their troubles before even thinking about revenge!
“But how do we go about investigating him? He’s got his information locked down tight!” Evan chimed in.
Tarquin said, “I stumbled upon one of Keith’s hideouts a few days ago. Found a bunch of stuff there that could potentially uncover some of his secrets p>
He had the foresight to document everything before setting the cabin ablaze.
Not only did he record the entire place, but he also took detailed photos and videos of the items inside.
And he didn’t stop there; he took many of those items with him for safekeeping.
Elliot immediately suggested:
“Find a way to show this stuff to Mom. She’s got a knack for psychology. If it’s from Keith’s hideout, it’s bound to reveal his secrets. Let Mom analyze it p>
After a moment, Elliot added a caution,
“Just don’t tell Mom it’s Keith’s stuff right off the bat. Let’s see what she can find first p>
Tarquin nodded, “Got it p>
The father and sons huddled close, discussing the matter of Keith and the mysterious figure at length, enjoying each other’s company.
United, the family stood ready to face the outside world together!
Elysia, unaware of their detailed discussions, felt relieved seeing them get along so well.
She didn’t harbor grand dreams of revenge. All she wished for was the wellbeing of her loved ones,
Hoping for a harmonious family life, filled with peace and happiness.
Right now, her focus was on getting a divorce from Tarquin as quickly as possible!
Once divorced, she’d finally be free, able to openly and guiltlessly be with the one she loved, living their modest dream life.
Just the thought brought her immense joy p>
At noon, Keaton called Tarquin, inviting him out.
Tarquin’s unexpected emergence with three grown sons had turned high society on its head, with their circle of friends feeling the biggest impact!
All of them, without exception, found themselves under pressure to marry and start families!
Unable to stand the heat at home, they sought refuge in a private club to ‘cry’ together.
They all blamed Tarquin for their predicament!
And they were genuinely curious how Tarquin managed to pull off having quadruplets!
“If you don’t come see us, we might just collectively lose it p>
Tarquin retorted, “Whoever dies pays their own funeral expenses. I’ll cover the costs p>
“No can do, I’ve got to spend time with the kids and their mom p>
Keaton cursed, “You’re totally prioritizing your love life over your friends p>
Tarquin replied with disdain, “Exactly, and I see nothing wrong with that p>
After hanging up, he mused to himself, is there anything wrong with prioritizing love over friends? Not in the slightest!
In the afternoon, Tarquin arranged for Elliot to be transferred to a private hospital owned by the Benjamin family, securing the best suite available. As soon as they arrived, Elysia cautiously asked him,
“How much is this going to cost us a day p>
Tarquin, playing along, whispered back:
“Before I hit financial rock bottom, I did a favor for the Lawson family, and since Benjamin and I go way back, he’s giving us a massive discount, only $100 a day p>
Tarquin conveniently left out a couple of zeros.
Elysia was astounded, “That cheap p>
“Yeah, quite the deal, right p>
“It’s a steal! Goes to show, it pays to be kind. You never know when you’ll need a helping hand. You boys see that? That’s the benefit of helping others p>
The four little ones nodded in unison, “Mom’s right p>
Tarquin joined in, “Elysia’s right, whatever Elysia says, goes p>
From now on, in their household, Elysia’s word was law. Whatever she said was right, without question!
