Chapter 558 "Can't you guys see? Elijah's lips were turning blue, and he was foaming at the mouth, like he was poisoned!" "You mean to say, Elijah was murdered?" As soon as these words were uttered, the reactions varied among the crowd.

"Are you absolutely sure nothing went awry today?" His confidant, fully grasping the gravity of the situation and nearly in tears, assured, "Boss, if anything had gone wrong, I wouldn't dare hide it from you! Everything went according to plan, smooth as butter!" "Then why is Elijah dead?!" "I... I have no idea, sir. It's not our first tpoisoning Elijah, and besides, he's the one who provided the poison. Nothing was changed in our routine!" Then, lowering his voice, the confidant added with a hint of paranoia, "Boss, do you reckon our poisoning plan was uncovered tonight, and someone used it to take Elijah out?" Gideon's face darkened, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Even if we didn't directly cause his death, we must ensure Tarquin never finds out about our attempt. With Elijah gone, he'll definitely dig deep. We need to cover our tracks thoroughly!" "Don't worry, boss. He won't be able to trace anything back to us. But... surely, the real culprit is among those people, right?" Gideon's gaze turned icy as he stared at the members of the Bradford family from a distance, filled with murderous intent. It was clear to him that someone had exploited his actions to kill Elijah! Someone had made him a pawn in their game! Gideon watched them for a long while, clenched his teeth, and then looked towards the main mansion's entrance. The rest of the Bradford family also had their eyes glued to the main door. Although everyone knew Elijah was gone, they were all waiting for what would cnext.
After what seemed like an eternity, the main mansion doors finally opened. Tarquin, with a grim expression, rushed out holding Elijah, followed closely by Elysia, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett. As the Bradford family members moved to approach, a cold stare from Tarquin froze them in their tracks.
Tarquin's lips were pressed tightly together, his gaze cold and fierce as he scanned over them. Still holding Elijah, he quickly got into a car and left the mansion. The Bradford family members were left dumbfounded for a moment before they began to gossip, "Why's he glaring at us? It's not like we're the ones who did it!" "Not even a word, what, in a hurry to reincarnate or something?" "He must be taking Elijah's body to the hospital. What's the point when he's already gone?" "Just let him be, no matter how much he struggles, Elijah won't cback. Gotta say, this is quite the shocker for the year's end!" The group dispersed with an air of mirth, leaving Gideon with a sinister expression.

A few minutes later, Tarquin and Elysia arrived at Benjamin's hospital with Elijah. Benjamin, having alerted earlier, wasving been already there to make arrangements. Elysia entered make the emergency room to attempt a rescue, while Tarquin, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett waited anxiously outside.
The good news was that Elysia had managed to pull Elijah back from the brink, granting him a faint breath of e life. The bad news was that Elijah remained unconscious, still not out of danger. Whether he would live or die was now up to fate.
The three younger ones sat on the hallway bench, eyes red and swollen, staring intently at the emergency room door. Tarquin, with a face full of anger, knew Elijah wouldn't be out anytsoon. Clenching his jaw, he stepped aside to call Lowell and Axel, "Seal off the Bradford mansion, no one goes in or out without my say-so! Conduct a thorough search; we need to find out how Elijah was poisoned, where the poison cfrom, and who the culprit is!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
