The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 113 – A Secret

Watching the glass of champagne pop open, Madam Jewel raised her brow, staring at a silver fox,

standing in front of her, pouring it into two glasses. “I don’t have time to drink, Jacob… My son is locked

up, and there is this arrogant, annoying sc***bag who now, somehow knows about Harris’s will!!”

Madam Jewel complained, her face turning red as she continued to rant, her voice getting louder and

more agitated with each word that escaped her mouth

Raising a brow, Jacob sighed, taking a seat on the couch next to her, resting his hand on the old

woman’s shoulder, trying to calm her down as he said, “Elijah knows about Harris’ will? Jewel…”

“I don’t think he knows the content within it, or else that greedy ba***rd will use whatever might he has

suddenly gained to come for us…” Jewel spat out, angrily, “Remind me why Peach is not dead yet?”

“Harris found out the truth while on his sick bed.

And in his messed up head, he used all his international power to put a protective barrier around her,

knowing that after what he did, I was going for her too…”

“Hmm,” “I have been using the loopholes in his command for years, but if she dies and words get out, I

have dug my own grave.”

The sound of nature echoing around the balcony took over the conversation for a while before Jacob

asked, “And this Elijah guy?”

1 know nothing real about that fool, and what we have on him are just guesses which have no solid

proof… He’s making a fool of my family… and just like that we have lost control…” Madam Jewel

explained, finally reaching for her glass.

“He has the element of surprise, Jewel, which is a powerful tool… Take that from him and you get

yourself a fair game.”

“How? “Well, he doesn’t seem to be as stupid as everyone says he is… You see, he is manipulating

people by pretending to be this useless boy… To defend your enemy. you have to unmask them, and

this Elijah guy has you all figured out, but it’s not the same for you towards him.”

A slight frown appeared on the old woman’s wrinkled lips, and Madam Jewel looked away in thought.

mumbling. “What do you mean by that?”

“Even the battlefield… He has Elmer in his grip, I can help you to get a chess piece to use and bargain

with him in exchange for your son’s freedom.” Jacob said with a c**y grin on his face, as he took a sip

from his wine glass.

Looking at him, Madam Jewel raised a brow at his suggestion and then asked, “What is this chess

piece?”

“The queen… Your step-granddaughter.” Jacob sald, smwing slyly. A King will bargain his soul with the

devil for the woman that owns his heart…”

“I told you that she can’t die.”

“No one is talking about cutting off Peach’s light… We can use her to get information about her

husband and also, bargain her safe return for Elmer’s release.”

Who il Peach doesn’t own his heart. After all, he was just with Melina a few months ago” An unreadable

expression appeared on Jacob’s lace for a moment as he stared at the old woman, thinking then he

spoke again Well, He did mess up Elmer’s face because he simply raised a hand at her so I heard

Even if Peach doesn’t have his heart, she means something to him.”

A sense of worry rose within Madam Jewel and her eyes shifted back and forth for a moment until she

spoke. With the news about Elmer in prison, a report about Peach going missing will point fingers at us,

and have the police breathing down my family neck .

Not if he wants his wife dead figuratively of course But Elijah doesn’t know that she can’t get killed

Threaten him with that and he will shut his hole and obey you” Jacob replied calmly, watching the old

woman’s reactions closely “I don’t know, Jacob

“That’s why I am going to be the one to handle it” “So many things can go wrong here” Yes But I can’t

allow your boy to go to jail So let me do this ” Silence fell belween them for a moment, both lost in their

thoughts, before Jewel spoke, “What is this going to cost me?” Picking up his glass, Jacob sipped from

it with a small smile and then replied, “For old time’s sake, Jewel This one is free, even though I am

tempted to make you pay like the old days.”

When Mr Barnford heard his office door open, he raised his gaze to see Elijah stepping in with a

friendly smile A grin to mask your evil deed from this morning.” Mr. Bamford said, with no trace of anger

in his voice A smirk formed itself on Elijahs face as he made his way to the chair and sat down, saying,

“You have 10 be specific, Chief As a law-abiding citizen, it’s hard to remember a crime that I didn’t

commit.”

“The reporters, Elijah” The chief started, still calm and composed as usual “Ohh, yes the reporters

How could I have forgotten about them? They had Elmer’s face on every Tv… If you ask me, I think the

statement, ‘walls have ears’ is truthful Have you checked with the ears within these walls of the station

before pointing a finger at me, chief?

Smart a*s

A chuckle lett Elijah’s mouth when he heard those words and he said in a jovial tone. “It takes one lo

know one, Chief”

Cracking up a bit by Elijah’s reply, Mr Bamford’s smile widened, and after a lew moments, hus

composure returned and he said, What are you doing here, boy

need to speak with Elmer. Elijah said with an innocent smile on his lips. “Is he being detained here?

Yep Why do you want to see him?”

His mother made a Iwo million dollars offer to me to drop the case, and I.”

You know if this case goes to court and Peach win, you will get way more than two million dollars.”

7 am not st**id

Sienoll between them as Mi Bomford leaned back in his choir, looking of the young man sitting in Mont

of him and there sod, The I will gel one of the officers to set up the meeting

Thrin town with nielal table ond Iwo chairs were quiet lor a while, then the door opened and Flmer

walked in with cuffs on his hand, wearing an orange jumpsuit with a policeman escorting him along

When they got to the chair, he sat down and the officer cutted his hands to the h**ks on the metal table

before stepping back

Who’s this visitor? Elmer asked, frowning at the police

But the man said nothing, he only stood there in silence, and after a minute of looking at himn. The

sound of the door opening got Elmer’s attention, and the moment he saw Elijah in the doorway. he

jumped off the chair, rushing forward, but got yanked back by the cults

You piece of sh*t! I swear if my hands were not cutled, I would have ripped you aparti Elmer shouted

with his face red with rage, trying to shake off his handcuffs “I would have lucked you up pretty

good you pr***ki

The serious look on Elyah’s face did not leave his expression as he shut the door and walked over to

the table, taking a seat

Then he looked over at the officer and reading Elujah’s face, the policeman nodded his head before

walking off

“Heylli Hi! You You Were a re you going ! You can not lead ve me with this ih-is mad man!!* Elmer

shouted, still struggling against the cuffs “This boy is violent and crazy Please don’t leave me with him

Ignoring his cries, the officer walked toward the door and closed it after himself, leaving the two men

alone with each other

Seeing Elmer struggle against his restraints, Elijah raised his eyebrow, crossing his arms over his

chest. as he leaned back, and spoke, “1 know that your company is not what Peach supposed to earn

There’s another will, right? What your mother gives her is not the real deal”

Not expecting Elijah to know such a thing, Elmer stopped struggling against the cuffs for a second, his

face turning pale white, before continuing in a shaky voice. What are you talking about 7″

“You can walk out of here as a free man with all charges dropped, and I can let you off the h**k tell me

the context of the real will. What did Mr Hayes leave Peach in that other will your mother is keeping a

secret? Elijah asked, leaning forward in his seat If you Siohino loudly. Elmer slumped into his chair and

murmured beneath his breath. “Suddenly, jail sounds much betler

Then he met Elijah’s eyes, a hint of anger appearing in his eyes, as he spoke. “You are truly a greedy

bas**rd What? Is investic Co. not enough to satisfy your craving for what’s not yours? Well, the is no

other will, so you can get up and walk away”

Silently Elijah stared at Elmer for some seconds before pushing his chair back and standing up. glaring

down at him in annoyance as he thought. ‘Just as it was for your mother, this will is worth more than

your freedom to you too. Does this mean the family will suffer a lot more if this will is revealed.
