Tarquin was just about to step through his front door when his phone buzzed, a wave of irritation shing across his face at the caller ID. Still, he picked up.


    As soon as the call connected, N blurted out, "Tarquin, where are you? I need to talk to you, it''s a big deal, huge!"


    Tarquin replied with a chilly tone, "Say it over the phone."


    Clearly, he had no desire to see her.


    But N, as if she hadn''t caught the hint, persisted, "This is too important for a phone call! I need to tell you in person! Just send me your location, I''ming right now! I..." Beep. Beep. Beep.


    Tarquin had hung up on her.


    N was both angry and hurt, "What''s his problem?"


    Her agent tried to console her, "Mr. Bradford might be tied up with something, maybe he can''t meet you right now. Why don''t you just tell him over the phone?"


    "How can I exin something this important over the phone?"


    “...N, are you sure about this? If you rush into telling Mr. Bradford and it turns out to be a misunderstanding, he might hold it against you."


    "I''m absolutely sure! I''m not blind! I saw it with my own eyes, that kid looks exactly like Elijah! It must be Elysia''s doing, that witch!


    I know it, she''s trying to harm Elijah! No, I have to let Tarquin know about her evil scheme!"


    After saying this, she tried calling Tarquin again. When he didn''t pick up, she left him a voice message, "Tarquin, you need to kick Elysia out, that witch is up to no good! I have evidence she''s only getting close to you for her own benefit! If you don''t get rid of her, Elijah is in danger!"


    Tarquin didn''t respond, so N, gritting her teeth, left another message, "If you don''t believe me, go check out Sunshine Daycare. Elysia''s brats are enrolled there. Just take a look at them and you''ll see why I''m saying this!"


    Still no response from Tarquin left N stunned, "What is Tarquin thinking? Doesn''t he care about Elijah''s safety at all?"


    Her agent was confused, "How did we jump to Elijah''s safety?"


    "Idiot! Think about it, why would Elysia want her son to look like Elijah? She''s obviously nning to rece him!"


    "You mean... she''s plotting to pull a switcheroo?"


    "Exactly! She''s grooming her own son to take Elijah''s ce so that she and her son can take control of Tarquin. That heartless fiend! Tarquin would kill her if he found out!"


    N, stubborn as ever, called Tarquin once more. This time, he picked up.


    N was momentarily taken aback, not expecting him to answer, and quickly blurted out, "Tarquin, did you listen to my voice messages? I''m telling you, Elysia is nning to kill Elijah and put her own son in his ce! You need to act fast and eliminate her first, or Elijah will be in danger!" Tarquin frowned, "Have you lost your mind?!"


    "I... I haven''t! If you don''t believe me, just go to Sunshine Daycare and see for yourself! If I''m lying, may I... may I... never win your love in this lifetime!"


    For N, that was the ultimate curse.


    Tarquin''s brow furrowed deeper as he coldly said, "I got it."


    The call ended, leaving him staring skeptically at his phone screen.


    He didn''t believe Elysia would harm Elijah.


    But N making such a damning vow meant something was up.


    "Did N visit the daycare today?"


    Lowell, who had been driving, had overheard N''s voice message and hummed in response, "Apparently, she went there under the guise of charity work. Interestingly, Ms. Thorne''s three sons attend that daycare. It''s curious that she suddenly decided to donate there, especially with Ms. Thorne''s sons being involved."
