Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Clayton was boiling with anger and guilt, and the Patel brothers were right there with him.noveldrama

At this moment, looking at the Murphy clan, their pain turned into pure rage, wishing they could tear apart those scumbags from the Murphy family!

If it weren't for the Murphy's backing, Helen wouldn't have had the leverage to win over everyone in the Hawkins' backyard!

Helen was the mastermind, Larry and his goons were the enforcers, and the Murphy family were the accomplices!

"Larry's abuse of my sister is a fact, and not even your revered Murphy ancestors could save him now!" the Patel family declared, their stance firm and imposing.

Roger, upon glimpsing the Patel brothers, shriveled with fear, still haunted by a beating from years past.

He dared not speak, cowering behind Bobby.

Bobby, with brows furrowed, sensed the towering rage in the Patel brothers' eyes and threatened, "I might not know exactly what you Patels are up to, but I know each of you is a wizard with the web, definitely involved in cybersecurity!

Dare to mess with the Murphy family, and I'll have it out that you've been illicitly accessing Murphy family secrets, destroying the Patels' reputation!" Elliot wondered, his uncles were cybersecurity experts?!

No wonder the Patel family was shrouded in mystery!

No wonder he and Elijah couldn't dig up anything!

If the Patels' operations were indeed tied to cybersecurity, their reputation was crucial!

It's like a high-tech firm, once accused of leaking client data, would be doomed!

Who would trust their products after that?!

The Patel brothers coldly retorted, "Say what you will, even if it costs us the entire Patel family, we will not let those who harmed our sister off the hook!"

"The harm they've done to her, we must repay twofold!"

"Including you Murphys, for aiding and abetting evil, you deserve to perish!"

Bobby scowled, "You're looking to take us both down?!"

"We're prepared to go down together if need be!"

The Patel brothers were resolute.

Their return to Oceanopolis was because of the impending Hawkins family shareholder meeting.

They feared for Clayton and his sister's safety post-meeting, suspecting potential assassination attempts, which is why they rushed back to Oceanopolis.

They knew Clayton, always upright, had blocked too many people's paths to wealth, making him many enemies.

Once Clayton fell, no one would risk their neck for him.

Without the Patel's intervention, he wouldn't stand a chance.

His danger meant danger for his sister, necessitating action from the Patels.

But to protect their own, they had to be ready to face numerous foes, ready for sacrifice!

Their resolve was set, and hearing about their sister's long-term abuse only fueled their murderous intent today.

Bobby's expression darkened further, "This is absurd, even if Larry and Helen did bully your sister, it was just that-bullying. They didn't kill her. Over such a trivial matter, you want to disrupt the peace between the Murphy and Patel families?!"

"You call this bullying?!" Robert hissed through clenched teeth, barely containing his rage.

Joshua held him back, glaring at Bobby, "Since Mr. Murphy deems it mere bullying, you needn't worry. It's just kids playing house, after all. We'll have a word with Larry and then hand him over to you!"

Bobby's face turned stormy, "You're stirring trouble. Why not go back and consult your revered Patel ancestors, see if they approve of your actions!" "The Patel family creed puts country first, family second, everything else is secondary! For our nation and kin, shedding blood and breaking bones is worth it! If our ancestors were here, they'd have already chopped Larry to pieces!"

Bobby, with a menacing glare, pressed the Patel brothers, "So, you're adamant about standing with Clayton, not letting us take anyone?" "Yes!"

The air was charged with tension.

The Murphy family was hell-bent on taking Larry away, while the Patel brothers and Clayton were determined to hold their ground.

Elysia, standing upstairs, was consumed with fear and anger.

Furious that Bobby had the audacity to trivialize decades of cruel abuse as mere child's play!
