Chapter 1142 After Emmett's grandparents on her mother's side passed away, the Yeager family cut ties with her early on. With both parents of the White family gone, those relatives from that side weren't stepping in to help either.
If they didn't care, there might not even be anyone to claim her body when the tcame.
"Alright, I'll handle it," Tarquin agreed without hesitation.

"Good, I'll call Benjamin Lawson ahead of tto arrange the transfer to his hospital." "Right, Cecil's in for a heavy sentence this time, isn't he?" "He is! With all the charges against him, even if he avoids the death penalty, he's looking at life without parole. He'll never see the outside of a prison again." Elysia said bitterly, "Serves him right! It's all karma!" She was no saint and felt no pity for Cecil; the harsher his sentence, the better.
"Cecil really did squander a good hand. I wonder what he thinks, now knowing his real dad is Bertram?" "He already knows. I had a friend tell him." "Really?" Elysia looked surprised.
Tarquin smirked, "On purpose, just to rile him up!" Cecil indeed knew by now. He had just learned that his biological father was a big shot, wealthy beyond measure! He was a bona fide rich kid, with more money than he could ever spend in a lifetime! And all those glamorous actresses he drooled over? Die-hard fans of his dad! But then, his dad publicly announced that he wouldn't be inheriting a dime; all his wealth was going to Emmett and Maria.
It was like someone telling you: "Dude, you hit the jackpot. Your dad's a mogul, you're the real deal rich kid with more money than you can ever spend!" Just as you're getting thrilled, imagining champagne, sports cars, and beauties, the next second, they add: "But, sadly, your dad didn't leave you the inheritance; it's all going to your kids and grandkids!" Cecil was in shock, dumbfounded! He was stunned, shouting, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" How could he mess up such a good hand? It just couldn't be! No, no, no! Was he really that pathetic? It must be a lie. If his dad was such a big shot, he'd surely find a way to save him. There's no way he'd just abandon him! "Impossible... It can't be real, no, no, no..." Cecil muttered "impossible" between sobs, slapping himself hard across the face until he cried himself unconscious.
Back at the hotel, Tarquin was serenading Elysia with love songs.
Elysia loved drifting off to his songs; they always led to sweet dreams.
"I've always wanted to tell you, you bring joy I never expected," "Like an oasis to the desert, you said you'd anyways be with me... It's a you, through sadness abo and joy, giving meaning to the mundane..." Tarquin's melodious voice filled the bedroom, growing softer and softer.
Not until Elysia was deep in sleep did he quiet down.
