NovelFinishChapter 404 Elliot pondered for a moment, "There is a way, but... it's not perfect. Letthink it over. Once I have a solid plan, I'll fill you in." The kids nodded in agreement, "Yeah!" Elijah raised an eyebrow, "Are we sure this mysterious person isn't the sone who saved you in the woods? I mean, he seems like the most likely candidate." Yet Elliot was as sure as ever, "It's definitely not them. They're good people. You'll see if you ever get the chance to meet them." Evan chimed in, "All they cared about was helping others. They'd never encourage us to hurt anyone. They even warnednot to get into fights when we left." Emmett nodded vigorously, "They're as kind-hearted as Mom." Seeing the conviction in Elliot, Evan, and Emmett's words, Elijah let go of his suspicions but still looked troubled, "This mysterious person is probably targeting Dad. I think they've got a major vendetta against him!" Elliot agreed, "Do you have any suspects in mind?" "Nope," sighed Elijah. "There haven't been many rooting for Dad's success over the years, but plenty who'd rather see him gone. Trying to investigate from Dad's side is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Suddenly, Elijah looked at Elliot, Evan, and Emmett, his tone shifting, "I know you have issues with Dad, but you have to admit, life hasn't been easy for him. He's been surrounded by schemes and malice, struggling every single day." Evan had the biggest beef with Tarquin and just pouted, not joining the conversation.
Elliot spoke softly, "With great power comes great danger, that's always been the case. But don't worry too much about him; he can handle it." Elijah said with a heavy heart, "It's not worry, it's sympathy. Dad's been good to me, and I know he loves me. And I love him too, and it hurts to see him so isolated and cold, even when he seems to have everything." Elliot patted Elijah on the shoulder, offering comfort, then asked, "I've done sdigging on the Bradford family. With Dad's capabilities, he could easily crush Gideon and his cronies, yet he's held back. Any idea why?"
Elijah explained, "Dad seems to be investigating something within the Bradford clan, but I'm not exactly sure what. His hesitation probably has to do with whatever he's looking En.
into. And, we should keep a low profile around the Bradfords. They're ruthless, and even I'm barely tolerated. If they find out about you guys, they'd go berserk trying to eliminate you. They'd do anything for their interests."
Evan perked up, clearly annoyed, "Let them try! I'd like to see them even try to touch a hair on my head. I've been itching for a good fight!"
Elliot intervened, "Elijah's right. For now, we need to stay under the radar, not out of fear, but for Mom and our plans. The Bradfords are manageable, but why waste our energy on them if we don't have to? By the way, Elijah, I heard that the Bradford legacy is passed down to only one heir?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
