Chapter 238
Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin)
Elysia was convinced that Sarah had gotten the wrong end of the stick about her! And it seemed like Sarah was also privy to some dirt on Winona.
As Sarah was about to step out of the mall, Elysia called out, âSarah!â
Sarah turned around, her face a mask of fury as she spat out, âMurderer!â
The people at the mall entrance stared, a mix of shock and curiosity in their eyes as they turned towards Elysia.
Frowning, Elysia realized she couldnât let Sarah leave just like that. She quickly approached Sarah and grabbed her wrist. âHold on, explain yourself. Who did I kill?â
Sarahâs face twisted in anger, her facial muscles twitching uncontrollably. âYou killed my son, and mark my words, Iâll get back at you by taking your son! Just you wait!â
Her unwavering gaze and expression sent a chill down Elysiaâs spine.
âHow could I possibly have killed your son, Iâ¦â
âLooking for Winona, are you? Youâll never find her! Search all you want, but itâll be in vain,â she cackled menacingly, like something out of a horror movie.
Elysia shivered, releasing her grip.
Seizing the moment, Sarah pushed Elysia away with a shove, sending her stumbling backward.
âElysia!â Fortunately, Zane was ther catch her in time.
âAre you alright?â Zane asked, concern written all over his face.
Elysia didnât look at him, her gaze fixed on Sarah.
When Zane turned to face Sarah, his expression immediately darkened, his brows furrowed in anger as be shouted, âWhat do you think youâre doing?â
Sarah seemed intimidated by him, shrinking back without a word.
âTake her away!â
At Zaneâs command, two middleâaged women hurried over to escort Sarah away.
Turning back to Elysia, Zane asked, âAre you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?â
Catching her breath, Elysia looked at Zane and asked, âWhereâs Winona? Who killed Sarahâs child?â
ર Zane paused, then explained, âDonât mind her. Sheâs been dealing with severe depression, spouting nonsense. To her, everyoneâs responsible for her childâs death, even the doctors and nurses are not spared. As for Winona, we should hear from her soon. Iâve gotten in touch with her agent, whoâs figuring out a way for Winona to reach out.â
Elysia stared at Zane. He met her gaze, calm and concerned.
Elysia looked away.
His words suggested Winona was alright.
10:03 But hadnât Callum said Winonaâs agent had vanished? How had Zane managed to get in touch?
Coincidentally, Tarquin drove past the mall just in time to see Zane and Elysia together, appearing quite intimate.
From his perspective, Elysia looked like a damsel in distress, nestled in Zaneâs arms, while Zane was all concern, showering her with attention.
Something inside Tarquin snapped. Angrily adjusting his tie, he commanded, âTell them theyâre working overtime tonight!â
Lowell, focused on driving, was taken aback. âTarquin, we just gave them the day off. Who knows what theyâre up to now? I thought we were meeting Keaton Huber.â
âBack to the office! Notify the board and senior management, weâre having a meeting!â
Lowell was at a loss.
Was this about making those below suffer, and now those above?
What exactly had set him off today?
After a while, Tarquin added, âDid you find anything linking Zane to Gage Slaterâs case?â Lowell replied uncertainly, âNothing so far that connects him to the case.â
Tarquinâs brow furrowed deeper, remaining silent.
âAlso, Elijah has invited Ms. Thorne to dinner. Are you sure you donât want to show up?â
Lowell didnât dare mention the message from Elysia, expressing her reluctance to meet again.
Tarquinâs frown deepened, yet he stayed silent, lost in thought.
