The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 112

BATTEET 

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 scumbag 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 bastard 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?” 

“I 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?”
