Chapter 267

    Tarquin was still puzzled when both his and Elliot''s phones rang simultaneously.


    Elliot nced at his smartwatch, his brows knitting together as his expression shifted rapidly through a series of emotions.


    Heposed himself and turned to Tarquin, saying, "I need to hit the restroom."


    With that, he hurried off toward the public bathrooms ahead.


    Tarquin, not thinking much of it, stayed behind to answer the call, "What''s up?"


    "Tarquin, we''ve got a lead on that mysterious guy!"


    Tarquin''s face darkened.


    After a while, still on the call, Gideon and his entourage found their way over.


    A tumultuous crowd approached, some crying, some causing a ruckus, each face more expressive than thest!


    Allegra, in particr, was livid, shouting at Tarquin, "You have gone too far this time! If you don''t give me an exnation here and now, in front of our ancestors, I swear I''ll haunt you, making your nights a living hell!"


    Gideon, face set in a grim line and supported by his confidant, was visibly seething with anger.


    Tarquin frowned, ending the call to address them, "What''s this about?"


    "Don''t y dumb with me! Like father, like son, huh? Your family''s always been trouble!"


    Tarquin''s expression turned icy as he fixed his gaze on Allegra.


    The intensity of his stare made everyone shudder, and Allegra, intimidated, started sobbing uncontrobly, "Oh, the injustice, it''s simply unbearable..." Tarquin ignored their drama and signaled Lowell with a nce before turning to Gideon, "What happened?"


    Gideon, propped up by his aide, was furious, "This is your son''s doing! And where''s Elijah?"


    At the mention of Elijah, Tarquin''s demeanor turned even colder, "What about Elijah?"


    "As if you don''t know! Tarquin, today of all days, on our family reunion, you dare... This is outrageous! See for yourself!"


    Gideon''s confidant shakily handed over a tablet.


    He quickly retreated to Gideon''s side as Tarquin took it, as if fearing retaliation.


    As Tarquin yed the video, his expression shifted dramatically...


    There was ''Elijah,'' dressed in a ck tracksuit, kicking Allegra across the room in front of everyone!


    Allegra cursed out loud, and ''Elijah,'' balling his fists, charged at her, using arge leaf to scoop up some animal droppings and shove them into her mouth.


    Not satisfied, he then proceeded to beat her up.


    When Verity tried to intervene, ''Elijah'' flung her aside, causing her to fall and break her two front teeth on a rock.


    "Enough is enough! Elijah, you rogue, stop it this instant!" Gideon, leaning on his cane, shouted.


    ''Elijah'' rushed over, snatched the cane Gideon had used for decades, and snapped it in two right before his eyes!


    Gideon gasped for air, almost fainting from anger, "Teach this boy a lesson!"


    Hearing this, the Bradfords, seeing an opportunity, charged at ''Elijah''.


    But before they could reach him, Elijah dered boldly, "I came here for Allegra; this has nothing to do with you! Mess with me, and I''ll dig up your ancestors'' graves, and parade their remains around!"


    Everyone was shocked and speechless until Verity suddenly cried out, "Call Tarquin! Get Tarquin here! Let him see the result of his parenting! His son''s about to disgrace our ancestors!"
