Chapter 970
Elysia reassured with a steady voice, “As long as he doesn’t shoot himself in the foot, you can count on me to handle Tarquin p>
Verity nodded eagerly, her face washed with gratitude, “Thank you, Elysia, thank you! I knew I could count on you to understand and help me out!” Elysia then pressed, “So, can you tell me now? Who is the real culprit behind the murder of Tarquin’s parents p>
Verity furrowed her brows, wiped away her tears, and after a moment of composed silence, she revealed a name,
Elysia’s eyes widened in shock, completely taken aback, p>
In the hospital room.
The moment Gideon laid eyes on Tarquin, his blood pressure skyrocketed, and it took him a moment to bellow, “Your son did this to me, and you’re going to pay! There will be no reconciliation, none at all! I’m going to make sure you rot in jail p>
Tarquin just stared at him coldly, silent.
Gideon suddenly sneered, “You think you can squeeze me with that shares business, huh? Well, guess what, you’ve got another thing coming! Not only will you not get your hands on my shares, but the Bradford Group will be mine! All of it, including all the assets under your name, and you’ll watch from prison as I rise to the top p>
Without waiting for Gideon to reply, Tarquin coldly questioned, “Why even bother getting married and having kids p>
He continued, his voice icy, “You’re so obsessed with power, why drag marriage and children into it? You married my grandmother and had my father, ruining both their lives! My grandmother would have been happier with anyone but you, and my father would have been better off as anyone’s son but yours p>
Gideon’s face darkened, “Do you think your grandmother would have experienced any luxury or happiness if she hadn’t married me? Or your father would have had a happy upbringing without the wealth I provided p>
“Happiness? If my grandmother was so happy, why did she succumb to depression shortly after having my father? And if my father felt even a shred of happiness, why did he do everything in his power to escape you p>
Gideon was livid, “Your grandmother’s depression was her own ungratefulness! Your father’s escape was all because he was seduced by your mother’s trickery! It’s all Elizabeth’s fault, that woman is a curse, a disaster p>
As he finished, Gideon’s broken bones suffered a second blow, making him howl in pain, “Tarquin, you dare… even on your deathbed… you dare… Ahhh p>
The hospital room door burst open, and Gideon’s right-hand man rushed in.
Gideon immediately yelled, “Where are the police? Get them in here to arrest him! His son assaulted me, and now he has too. He must be sentenced to life p>
As Tarquin withdrew his hand, standing aside, he watched Gideon coldly, “The real disaster for the Bradford family is you. It’s you who have ruined the Bradford family. Think about how you’re going to face the ancestors of the Bradford family after you’re gone p>
Gideon lay gasping on the bed, sweating profusely from pain and rage, “Your father didn’t listen to me, you don’t listen, Elijah doesn’t listen. Despite carrying my blood and enjoying my benefits, you all choose to defy me!
You ungrateful wretches, all of you! The Bradford family won’t be ruined by me; under my lead, it will reach its peak. Tarquin, you’re finished, completely finished p>
“Sir, it’s us who are finished!” Gideon’s close associate, his head wrapped in bandages, came running over, sobbing.
