NovelFinishChapter 464 "Absolutely! Should these three kids run into any trouble down the line, the Slater family will take full responsibility. Once I get to the bottom of this, I'll cfind you." "Alright." Tarquin stood up, satisfied, and noticing Emmett shivering slightly as if afraid, he scooped the little guy into his arms.
"Elliot and Evan, let's head out." The two boys obediently got up and followed him.

A curse upon our house, a curse upon our house indeed! How could I ever have married such a wretched woman! And to think we'd have a daughter so spiteful and foolish! You're going to be the death of me!" || "Live by the sword, die by the sword," Elliot said coolly.
If Donovan hadn't been messing around with a mistress, allowing her to usurp the family's peace, perhaps things wouldn't have cto such a sorry state.
What curse upon our house? The man's a total disaster himself! At this moment, Evan was unusually compliant, not throwing in any of his usual remarks, but instead asked again cautiously, "Are you sure today's mess won't reach Mom's ears?" "Not a chance," Tarquin and Elliot said in unison.
The two exchanged a glance, with Elliot being the first to look away.
Evan sighed in relief, "Good, I was so worried Mom would find out and get upset again." Emmett, still in Tarquin's arms, hugged his neck tighter and couldn't help asking, "Why can't we just have the cops arrest the bad lady if everyone says she's out to get us?" Elliot explained, "Words alone aren't enough; just their accusations against Nola aren't sufficient to prove her guilt without evidence." "What a shame, the bad lady did something terrible, yet she gets away with it." Elliot smirked, "They've been punished in their own way. The hurt they've felt today is far worse than a few days in jail. The Slater family has taken such a hit, they're in both emotional and financial pain! The important thing is, we got back at them without dragging Mom into this mess, so today is definitely a day to celebrate." Turning to Tarquin, Elliot expressed his gratitude, "Thanks for today." When it cdown to it, their stand-in dad really did pull through.
So, even Evan, who was usually the least fond of Tarquin, couldn't help but mumble, "I owe you one, guess I'll have to pay you back someday!" Tarquin simply replied with a "you're welcome," then added, "Just keep your word, and letknow as soon as you hear anything about that mystery person." Elliot responded just as readily, "No problem." Clearly, today was a day of familial warmth and bonding! Tarquin dropped them off at the Blossom car, deciding not to personally drive them back to Future Community.

Today's events had to be kept from Elysia. She also couldn't find out about his private encounters with her children; knowing her temper, she'd definitely make a scene. He wasn't afraid of her making a scene! He just found her annoying!
As the father and sons parted ways outside the Slater family mansion the three little one's headed back to Future Community, and Tarquin to his office.
Once they had all left, a man dressed in black with a cap pulled down over his eyes emerged from a corner. He glanged towards the direction Tarquin had gone, then back at the departing trio, a cold, unhappy look in his eyes. He seemed to loathe the sight of their familial harmony! Pulling out his phone, he sent off a message. After hitting send, a sinister smirk crossed his lips. "Family warmth and bonding, huh? Heh heh heh..." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
