The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Marry a stranger 

The hall was in total silence after what Peach had said, and everyone was still staring at her, some with looks or disdain and others with expressions that showed their disbeliel. 

Sighing, Madam Jewel shook her head slowly and said, sounding disappointed, “Mr. Meeks, give her the document.” 

“‘Yes… I will get it from my car now.” Lawyer Meeks hastily replied, looking slightly nervous, and Elijah caught onto it quickly, smirking faintly at the sight of his shaky gaze. 

Something was off about him, and Elijah could sense it, and his gaze followed Meeks as he walked off, holding back his desire to follow the lawyer and question him. 

“Do you think I will lie on my late husband’s name, especially on the day he passed… Am I that of a monster to you, Peach…” Madam Jewel cried, tears streaming down her face, as she placed a hand on her mouth in grief, drawing Elijah’s attention back to her, and his expression hardened. 

With not a single care in her eyes and a numb expression, Peach shrugged and said, “I just want to know the whole truth.” 

Seeing that guests were expressing their disbelief at Peach’s behavior towards Madam Jewel through their whispers, Dean approached his mother, placed a hand on her back, and glared at Elijah. “Why are you here?! I don’t remember us inviting a bastard like you into our home..” Dean snapped, glaring at Elijah, and guests’ gazes were immediately focused on him as they began whispering amongst each other. Immediately. Matt grew tense, ready to defend his boss, but holding off speaking or taking action because neither Elijah nor Peach seemed threatened by the sight of Dean, and he didn’t want to act unless the situation forced him to do so, “Terry, come and get this idiot out of my mother’s sight. He doesn’t deserve to be in the midst of important humans.” Dean mocked, gaining a couple of laughs from some of the guests. Looking into Dean’s eyes, Elijah gave fum a stiff smile that made him flinch a little at how intimidating one look from a dodger could carry such Intense pressure 

“Who made such a rule, that Elijah is not as important as any of us here, huh uncle?” Peach retorted, her eyes turning hard as she stared at Dean’s cold expression when he looked at her.” What you want to hit me again make me bleed from my lip like before_ teach me the lesson that my late father didn’l train me?!”
