Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Nowadays, Bobby's influence in Oceanopolis could easily outshine Clayton by miles!

So, as long as the Murphy family stepped in, even if Clayton knew they were mistreating Pamela, he wouldn't dare touch them!

And Bobby wasn't worried about the Murphy family not showing up, because he had something on them!

Soon enough, the Murphy family arrived with their entourage.

The Hawkins family's gatekeeper, one of Helen's loyal people, spotted Bobby and immediately greeted him with a big smile, swinging the gates wide open for the Murphy family to enter.

As the Murphy family made their way to the main building, they intended to enter but were stopped by bodyguards stationed outside.

"Sorry, Mr. Murphy, my boss has ordered that without his permission, no one is allowed to set foot inside the main building."

This was Clayton's man speaking.

After the incident, Clayton had immediately contacted his trusted bodyguards to ensure the safety of Elysia and her child, as well as Pamela.

Standing arrogantly in front of the main building, Helen's father, leaning on his cane, demanded,

"Where's Clayton? Tell him to come out and face me!"

"My boss isn't home. If Mr. Murphy has business with him, he can contact him directly."

"...Then bring Larry out to me!"

"My boss said, until he returns, no one is allowed to see Larry."

Bobby was instantly furious. "What does he mean by this? Is he trying to keep Larry under house arrest?"

Clayton's man didn't bother explaining, maintaining a formal attitude, "If Mr. Murphy has any complaints, he's welcome to discuss them with our boss." Bobby's voice turned icy, "I'm taking Larry with me!"

"Sorry, without the boss's orders, we can't let you take him."

"And what if I insist on taking him?"

"Then we have no choice but to offend!"

Bobby snorted in disdain, mocking,

"You're still loyal to him now, but do you have any idea what's going to happen in three days? When Clayton's reputation is in ruins, following him will lead you nowhere but dead ends!

If you comply today and let me take Larry, my family, the Murphys, will take you in, guaranteeing you a life of luxury under our protection!"

Bobby's words hung in the air, met with silence.

Clayton's men remained unmoved, not even acknowledging his offer.

Frustrated and angry at the lack of respect, Bobby vented,

"Ungrateful! If you won't let me take Larry, wait until Clayton is begging on his knees for me to take him!"

Bobby didn't leave but sat on the bench outside the main building, waiting for Clayton.

Elysia and the three little ones watched everything from the second floor.

Evan grumbled,

"Is that mean old man Larry and Helen's backup? He doesn't even respect Grandpa, shouting orders in his own house! Looking at him, he doesn't seem in good shape; can he even take a hit?"

Elliot frowned,

"The oldest one there is Helen's father, and that big guy next to him is Helen's brother. Larry is just dating his daughter."

Emmett mumbled,

"They all look so fierce and ugly, no sign of good fortune! But, I thought Grandpa didn't have any loyal people around him. Turns out, there are those who are truly devoted to him."

Evan nodded in agreement, "We should tell Grandpa to value these few."

As the children exchanged thoughts, Elysia remained silent.

Her brows furrowed as she stared at Bobby, thinking he dared to make her father kneel and beg him to take Larry away?

Such a bold thought!

Today, except for the officers dedicated to serving the people, no one else is taking Larry away!noveldrama

"By the way, bring Evan and his mother over here, I have questions for them!" Bobby suddenly demanded.

The mother and children were surprised. The Murphy family wanted to question them?

About what?

The next second, Clayton's voice, hoarse and displeased, filled the air,

"What do you want to ask?!"

Elysia and the little ones quickly looked toward the voice, spotting a haggard Clayton.

He was breathing heavily, clearly having rushed back!

And his eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying.

He had just found out today that Pamela had been mistreated for over twenty years. After the shock, he must have been overwhelmed with sorrow and guilt!
