Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return by Rever Chapter 139

Jealous

Even though Matt’s words were firm enough, one look for Elijah made him know that his boss was about to do something stupid and reckless.

“This guy is right… Zac always carries a gun, and your skin is not bulletproof, so you need to listen to your man.” Lex said, frowning at Elijah.

Reading the faces of the men around him, Elijah knew that none of them was going to side with him on this one, and he paced back and forth for a while, his mind racing and thinking of every single idea possible.

The more he thought, the angrier he became, and then the storm rising in him simply ceased.

“We need to make sure Dr. William’s great-grandson does not reach that mansion,” Elijah stated firmly as he turned to look at all of them. “We need to get

the boy and use him to our advantage.” “We can get the kids for you, but it’s going to cost you,” Teddy said, testing the water to see if Elijah’s desperation will make him pay more. “Get the kid, and I will pay four times what Texan offered you guys… and make sure he doesn’t get harmed in the process…’ “Four times!

They all replied, “Show thing, boss.”

There was a silent pause as Elijah looked around the room, and then he mumbled, “You guys can’t bring him back here though.”

“We can take him to my place. It’s off the radar and away from human eyes,” Lex calmly suggested.

Looking over at Matt, Elijah could see that his man was alarmed about such decisions, but it was either risking getting bombed or abducted and there was no in-the-middle decision.
