The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 142 – Die for or kill for

Silently, Elijah studied Dr. William‘s face for any sign of lying, which he never found in the doctor‘s expression. Finally, Elijah leaned forward and said, “Let me get this clear, so none of the seven is his?”

“Yes. Hayes fathered none of Jewel‘s children.” Dr. William replied.

There was a long pause as Elijalı tried to force his brain to come to terns with that fact and then he scoffed in disbelief, sliocked about how much Madam Jewel had gotten away with.

“Do you have a copy of the results?” Elijah finally asked after collecting his thoughts.

Dr. Williams‘s face fell, remorse and guilt evident as he whispered, “No… I gave Hayes those because he requested them the day Meeks visited him at the hospital… The copies were all destroyed after his death… Jewel said that if anything about the results come out in any way, I and my children would be dead, so I had to do what I had to do to protect their life…”

After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, “If Meeks didn‘t get killed, he would have been a great help.”

“Yeah. But a dead man is of no use to the living, and that‘s why I can‘t make the same mistake twice.” Elijah said, knowing his hands were tied and this was his only move.

Fear and confusion filled every aspect of Dr. William‘s face, but the doctor quickly recovered. He cleared his throat and said, “What are you talking about?”

“My name is Elijah Maxwell from the land of Bordoria, the sole heir of Lisa Maxwell and –.”

“You are Mr. Maxwell‘s son… You are the child of the most well–known figure in the business world in Bordoria, a man of high stature… The news about him having a son had always felt like a rumor and then the truth – ”

“Yeah… I have to earn my place by his side and until then my existence is only a rumor to the majority and facts to a few… But enough of my family…”

Holding back for a moment, Elijah inhaled deeply and said, “If you want to disappear from Jewel‘s grip, I can arrange for you and your family to travel to Bordoria, seek protection under my father‘s wing, and wait.”

The sense of disbelief that had Dr. Williams hostage had him frozen in place as he gazed at Elijah, saying nothing. Elijah continued, “As you already know, my father is very influential in Bordoria society, and I am sure he can provide security for you and your family, and even give you protection… If you agree to leave.” Staring blankly at Elijah, Dr. Williams said, “Your father would give us protection? That would make our lives easier and safer, but would such a great offer comes free or –.”

“Wait until the day I will need you to testify against Jewel.” Elijah cut in with certainty. “A woman like Jewel is a sneaky fox… Do you think you can trap her behind bars?”

“People with filthy hands and shady businesses always fall through the cracks and are caught eventually… So, when that day comes, will you be willing to help me lock her up for good?”

“I mean…”

The question about if Elijah was truly a Maxwell and countless other questions about him made Dr. William pause on his decision and then he sighed, “It will be my honor to seek protection from the Maxwell, and if I am required to pay back the favor with the truth, I will wholeheartedly comply…”

“Good… I will make the call then.”

Elijah stood from his seat and walked out, leaving, Dr. Williams staring vacantly at the wall with wide eyes, realizing whose
