Tarquin’s actions were a direct slap in the face to Gideon!
Allegra, regardless of her standing in his favor, was still Gideon's daughter. Tarquin’s treatment of her was a
blatant disregard for Gideon.
st Gideon he disregarded, it was the entire Bradford family he had scored!
It wasn’t just
But since Gideon was the eldest and held the most sway within the Bradford family, his fury was unparalleled!
Seething he pounded his walking stick on the floor with a resounding thud and shouted, “The nerve! The utter
gall! This is a direct affront to me! He’s takingless seriously by the day! The absolute nerve!”
His confidant rushed to soothe him, “Sir, please, calm yourself. Today's incident was also a result of Allegra’s

Allegra didn’t realize whoever could assist Elijah is golden in Tarquin’s eyes! Her wanting to off Elysia is akin to
quashing Elijah’s only hope, effectively killing Elijah indirectly! Can you blTarquin for his rage?”
Gideon's anger was through the roof. “The headstrong fool! Has she leamed nothing from Lionel’s death? Does
she wish to beca widow?”
“Ah you know how headstrong Allegra can be.”
“Please, sir, take a deep breath. Although Tarquin’s actions were extreme, this ensures no one dares target Elysia
and Elijah again, which is beneficial for us.”
Gideon, face darkened with anger, took a deep breath and sipped stea from a cup on the desk to quell his
fury. “Even so, we can’t let him continue this brazen behavior! Any word from Mr. E yet?”
“Nothing yet, sir. The package was left as requested. Given his reputation on the dark web for efficiency, | expect
we'll hear from him
soon.”
“Mm... Go through our assets these next few days. If we're to collaborate, we need to show what we bring to the
table.”
“I just worry, what if Mr. E locates this person, but they refuse to cooperate with us?”
“That won't happen. Once we find this person, | have ways to ensure they'll willingly work with me.”
Gideon was confident, clearly holding saces up his sleeve.
His confidant didn’t dare pry further changing the subject, “What about Allegra’s situation?”

This news quickly reached Nola and her daughter. Nola was beside herself with worry.
“I knew it, | just knew it! Look, Mom, in his bid to avenge that woman, Tarquin didn’t just go after Allegra from
the Bradford family harshly, but he also made it public by sharing the video in the family group as a warning! We
can’t rely on Allegra anymore! Tarquin must really be smitten with Elysial Oh, what do we do now?”
Alleen rolled her eyes and said, “Enough! How did | end up with such a fool for a daughter! Do you think Tarquin
is avenging Elysia? It’s all for Elijah! Elysia is currently Elijah’s lifeline, and that’s the only reason Tarquin gives
her the tof day! Without Elijah, she’s nothing.” “Right, Tarquin cares for her because of Elijah. If Elijah were
out of the picture, Tarquin would surely lose interest! Mom, we've got to find way to get rid of Elijah!”
Aileen slapped Nola and shouted, “Have you lost your mind? What makes you think you can succeed where
others in the Bradford family have failed? They've been trying to take down Elijah and haven't managed it. And
you think you can do better? Look at the fate of
those who've tried!”
“So... should we go after Elysia?”
