"Harvey kicked us all out in the dead of night..."
The girl's voice was timid as she continued, "He gave each of us a severance check and then just told us to leave. The Velvet Haven is no more. Beyond that, we don't know anything else..."
Thaddeus's eyes narrowed, a chill sweat soaking his back in an instant. Rather than saying they were caught off guard, it seemed Avery had already abandoned everything in Elmsworth, fleeing this land of trouble, trying to escape scot-free!
"Where's Elsie? Where is she?!" Elvis bellowed, his eyes bloodshot.
The two girls huddled together in panic. "We don't know... we don't know... Elsie... she left yesterday."
"Where did she go?!" Elvis roared at the top of his lungs.
"We really don't know where Elsie went! But that night, I overheard... Harvey telling his guys that he proposed to Elsie, and she agreed to marry him. Maybe... they've gone abroad to get married."
Thaddeus was stunned, "Married?!"
In an instant, Elvis's world turned upside down, his blood pooling in his chest, alternately feeling cold and hot, rampaging through his insides! Tonight, Elsie's farewell was actually to marry another.
"Impossible... impossible! How could Elsie marry that monster?!" Elvis's fists, hard as iron, slammed into the wall, again and again, until his knuckles were swollen and bloody!
"Elvis, stop it!" Thaddeus rushed to restrain him, his heart also aching.
