NovelStartChapter 961 Evan couldn't bear to think further, the pain was just too much...
Stepping out from the opposite side of the car, he hurried towards Elliot with a sense of urgency.
They stood at the main entrance, their gaze fixed on the scene before them, feeling nothing but a deep sense of sorrow.
Tarquin, usually so strong and indomitable, was now a shadow of himself, hunched over and weeping into Elysia's shoulder. He resembled an eagle with its wings clipped, radiating vulnerability that tugged at the heartstrings.

No matter the age, the mention of a mother always brings out the child within, revealing a fragile side.
The tfelt a profound empathy for both Tarquin and Elysia.
Tarquin's pain was palpable, and it was clear Elysia shared in his suffering.
While their hearts ached, they also felt a burning anger towards Gideon, an anger that ran deep.
Elliot sniffled hard, leading his brothers upstairs to the den, leaving Tarquin and Elysia in the privacy they needed.
Only Elysia could soothe Tarquin's wounded soul, for it was only with her that he allowed himself to be truly vulnerable.
Once inside, Elliot immediately asked Evan, "What's the situation at Sage Hall now?" Wiping away a tear, Evan replied, "Dad knew you had plans, so he didn't tip Gideon off. He switched the ashes, leaving the fake ones at the bottom of the well and brought grandma's ashes back." "And the monks?" "To avoid any mishaps, I knocked them out. They won't be waking up for a few days." Evan quickly added, "Brother, have you settled things with Gideon? Can I go after him now?!" "Yes! The contracts are all signed, his shares are now in my possession! And he owesa fortune, even selling all his assets won't cover his debt to me! If we go to the police, he'd be locked away for life!" Gideon's pursuit of fand power was now a distant dream, utterly shattered by Elliot in a devastating blow that was worse than death.

Elijah intervened, handing him a small bottle of pills.
Evan looked puzzled, "What's this?" "Heart Saver Pills." "I don't need these! I'm angry, sure, but not in need of medication." "They're for Gideon." Evan frowned, "For him? I wish he'd just drop dead!" Elijah explained, "He can't die that easily. Death would be too kind."
Understanding dawned on Evan, "Right, you're correct. We can't let him off that easily!" Pocketing the bottle of pills, Evan left with White in tow.
No sooner had he left than a shadowy figure followed him, keeping a discreet distance.
Evan was aware but unconcerned. His only focus was on confronting Gideon.
However, this shadow followed him all the way to the mid-slope, where Gideon's private villa was located. Evan, suspecting sabotage, confronted the figure in a sudden turnaround.
The figure was imposing, his face marred with long scars the very man hidden within the restricted zones of Sage Hall. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
