Novel1Chapter 569 Elliott and Evan woke up to find Elysia missing from their hospital room. Piecing things together, they figured she must have gone to check on Elijah, so they headed over to find her.
As fate would have it, they stumbled upon her conversation with Tarquin.
Evan, red with rage, exclaimed, "Someone has been poisoning Elijah multiple times! Bro, we've got to root out this scumbag and avenge Elijah!" Elliott's expression darkened. "Yes, we'll find him!" The audacity to poison his brother, keeping Elijah sick for so long, was unforgivable! And their mom was right to worry. If the culprit was a repeat offender, there was a chance they'd try poisoning Elijah again.
Until they caught him, Elijah wasn't safe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvan grumbled, "That jerk Tarquin couldn't even figure out who the culprit is. I bet it was someone from the Bradford clan! Bro, let's take down their whole gang!" Elliott pondered. The poison was definitely linked to the Bradfords.
But when he observed their reaction after Elijah was poisoned, except for Gideon looking oddly out of place, the rest seemed shocked and almost delighted, not the reactions of a guilty party.
As for Gideon...
His shock turned to disbelief, then to nervousness.
Why would he be shocked and then nervous? Because he didn't expect Elijah to be poisoned to death! Maybe Gideon was the one consistently poisoning Elijah, but the person trying to kill Elijah this tmight not be him! After sthought, Elliott said to Evan, "Tarquin must be onto the Bradfords looking for the culprit. Let's head over. If he can't find them, we'll figure something out." "Alright!" The brothers put on their masks and left the hospital, heading straight for the Bradford estate.
Tarquin drove like a man possessed, reaching the estate in record time.
The butler, shaking, greeted him at the door, but Tarquin didn't spare him a glance.
With a scowl, he slammed the car door and strode into the main building.
Inside, apart from the Bradfords, several police officers were present.
A maid had died in the house, and the Bradfords had called the police not to investigate the murder but for protection.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were trapped in the estate by Tarquin and feared he might go on a rampage and kill them all! The Bradford women were complaining to the officers, "Officer, it's not like his son was poisoned by us, and we didn't kill the maid. Why are we being held hostage?" "Yeah, if he's got beef, go settle it with the killer, not us. Today's the first day of the year; we wanted to have a peaceful holiday!" "Officer, isn't his behavior criminal? Can you arrest him?"
Tarquin, with a face like thunder, entered and announced, "The doors of the Bradford estate are wide open. Anyone who wants to leave can do so!" Lowell and Axel, who were at the door, greeted him, "Tarquin!" Tarquin nodded and then turned his fierce gaze toward the Bradford women, his eyes sweeping over them with a chilling ferocity.
The women, terrified, collectively shivered and quickly shut their mouths.
The leading officer, Roland, was the local precinct captain and knew Tarquin well enough to know he was trouble.
After a brief stint in the station, a om major shake-up in the police department followed, and the officer who handled his case, Josiah, was promoted three ranks—a testament to Tarquin's influence.
If Tarquin was indeed guilty of a crime, they'd need solid evidence to proceed, and as of now, there was none. Besides, his son was the victim of a poisoning attempt that night! Roland stepped forward, "Mr. Bradford, I'm Detective Roland, the lead investigator on this case." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
