The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 16

I can’t trust you, can I?

Instantly, Tommy stopped in his steps, masking his urge to smirk with a bitter and stern expression as he stared deeply at his sister-in-law and then at Peach. 

“Well, look who finally decided to know her place and behave like how you suppose to behave in vour low status!” Tommy remarked, his words laced with venom and sarcasm. 

Then he walked over to Miss Grace, handed her the paper, and commanded, “Sign it, and let’s stop beating around the bush about this matter! I am being very generous, you know!” With trembling hands, Miss Grace slowly reached out for the papers, tears rolling from her eyes, but before she got a hold of it, Peach grabbed the sheet and shredded it to pieces as tears ran down her face. 

The anger in her eyes as she did it was something that no one has ever seen on her face before. Then Peach looked at Tommy with pure disgust and contempt and yelled at him, “Your father and my dad must be rolling in their grave because of your actions. You are just a despicable human being, and the way you treat people is just disgusting! I hate you… I hate all of you!!” 

Looking at her daughter with rage mixed with sadness in her eyes, Miss Grace mounted up enough strength to raise her hand and beat her palm against her daughter’s cheek. “Mama,” Peach whimpered, holding her burning cheek and staring at Miss Grace with wide open, wounded eyes. 

Immediately, her mother pulled her into her arms, hugged her tightly, feeling remorseful, and fixed her eyes on Tommy, anger sparked in her eyes as she let out, “You and Patricia should leave.” 

A raw look of shock emerged on Tommy’s expression, and before he could utter anything, he felt his wife’s soft fingers gripping his wrist, and he was about to lash out when he looked over at Elijah recording them with his phone. 

“You either get out, or you can put on a show that the entire internet can learn about later!” Elijah said in a cold tone, his eyes locked on Miss Grace as he watched her wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. 

Pulling her husband along with her, Patricia dragged him away as she yelled out, “Don’t you say that we are heartless when we decide to use harsh methods to get you guys to pay us back for all that you owed us!” 

When the door slammed closed behind them, Miss Grace released the breath that she was holding and her head rested on her daughter’s shoulders as she tried to keep her emotions under control.

That’s why Elijah is here. He really agreed to give the money.” Looking away from her daughter, Miss Grace focused her eyes on Elijah, a soft expression on her face as she said, “No offense, but you are known to be Melina’s useless stay-at-home
