NovelFinishChapter 480 "So, what's the deal between her and Zane?" Elysia looked surprised, "You know Zane?" Tarquin made up an excuse on the fly, "Had sbusiness with the Newsom family a while back, heard of him through that." "Oh, that makes sense. Blossom and Zane are a bit more than just friends, you could say, because Zane's wife is one of our close girlfriends." "Does she see Zane outside of group settings?" "No." Tarquin was puzzled. Who could be using Blossom? Could Blossom herself be the mysterious figure? The dead cat and the mysterious person seen leaving her apartment building certainly tied her to something sinister! Yet, there were no suspicious men around her...
"What's wrong?" Elysia asked, noticing his odd expression. Before he could answer, she quickly added, "Don't jump to conclusions. Blossom and Zane have a very innocent relationship!" She had misunderstood, but Tarquin didn't bother to correct her.

"I get it. If you can't make it, I'll save you sleftovers." "Thanks, Elysia, you're the best." Elysia noticed Blossom had changed outfits. "Got plans tonight?" "Yeah, got serrands to run." "Can't they wait till tomorrow?" "Nope, it's pretty urgent." "What twill you be back?" "Not sure, but don't worry, I'll be safe." "Alright, just callif you need anything." Tarquin, overhearing their conversation, grew more suspicious. Blossom was going out tonight, and it was the perfect opportunity to uncover her connection with the mysterious figure.
"By the way, you never did tellhow you made your fortune. Got any tips for me?" Elysia suddenly asked. Tarquin snapped back to reality, teasing, "What, did you die poor in a past life?" Elysia pouted, "You don't understand. I've got sons to raise, get them through school, and hopefully save enough for their weddings." Her thoughts drifted far off, making her laugh at the idea of her sons getting married.
"It's tough for a woman to raise sons alone. Didn't their father leave anything behind?" Tarquin inquired.
Mentioning the kids' father soured Elysia's mood instantly.
"Don't talk about him!" she snapped, visibly annoyed.

Before Tarquin could say anything else, Elysia turned on the faucetm gon washed her hands, and left to find her son Elijah in his room.
Tarquin was left wondering if he had. touched a nerve. He was curious about the man who fathered such great kids and why Elysia was so averse to discussing him. Was it the man's fault, or was there more to Elysia's story? While Tarquin was lost in thought, a message from an unknown number popped up on his phone:
"Keep your people away from me. I've got other things on my plate and don't have tfor your nuisances. Don't makeangry; it won't end well for you!" Tarquin's concern deepened, and he immediately contacted Axel, "Where are you now?" "Following Blossom, why?" "You're tailing Blossom?" "Yes." Tarquin sighed, piecing together the night's plan in his head.
