The Marvelous Elijah's Return
Chapter 160
Gunshot
The flashes of lights and cameras immediately went off and on as Elijah stepped out of the car, and then he reached into the vehicle for Peach, taking her hand in his and gently leading her out of the Mercedes. Then he secured her by her waist, glad that she was only two months pregnant and her stomach had not started showing yet, and yet there was still a trace of worry in his voice as he whispered in her ear, “You should have stayed home.” “I am fine, honestly.” Peach leaned in closer to his ear to mumble, smiling when he met her eyes. “Also, it would seem rude if I didn’t attend Madam Elle’s husband’s birthday with you.” 1
But Elijah’s worry wasn’t about her being fine, it was the fact that she was attending such a public event with him when he knew that after a month, he still had not figured out what happened back in Syldavia a while ago, and who was behind it.
Although the premises were heavily guarded by his men and his father’s guys’, it still wasn’t enough to keep Elijah’s heart at ease, even though it had been a month of silence since he decided to settle with Peach in Bordoria, and the Hayes had gone cold, even though the trial against Elmer has just started, and Cora’s case was coming up, then Josh. The silence was so loud that Elijah was more alarmed in Bordoria than he was in Syldavia because when the enemies are quiet, it’s a dangerous game that could mean either something or nothing.
As he escorted Peach into the Manor, his eyes and ears were all alert since he would rather be cautious than take chances.
The grand hall of the Manor was loud with Baroque music as Peach and Elijah walked in after Miss Grace, Mrs. Maxwell, and Mr. Maxwell. The moment they arrived, people’s attention was drawn to them, and even though Elijah didn’t want to lose sight of his wife, the other ladies quickly collected Peach, Mrs. Maxwell, and Miss Grace, taking them away. Looking back at them, Elijah’s heart was troubled, even though his wife was laughing with these ladies as they all chatted. When Mr. Maxwell suddenly patted him on the back, Elijah’s heart skipped a beat, and then he gazed at his father, listening to him say, “She’s fine.”
“Yeah,” Elijah mumbled, smiling at his father.
Suddenly, an older gentleman approached them, saying with a smile, “Elijah, Romney, welcome, welcome to my humble home!” “Aah, Mr. Hilton, Happy birthday!” Mr. Maxwell said cheerfully.
The excitement in the hall only grew as the second shifted to minutes and the minutes turned to hours of chatting, drinking, cating, and dancing,
After a couple of discussions with a bunch of old dudes, Elijah eyed Peach, and she seemed so energetic, talking and laughing with other women, that he allowed his heart to relax as a smile drew on his face.

He is running want of the most dangerous underground businesses in Syldavia, from drug dealing to human trafficking, and gun sales” “What does a Drug Lord have to do with me.” “According to him, Thornton is Matthew and Eli’s biological father, and a while ago, they joined their father’s gang and are working for him because Thornton had promised them that

It took Peach a second to figure out what was going on, and then her gaze rested on Elijah and a guy fighting over a gun, and her heart dropped, her scream echoing in her head as she silently watched them, frozen with her eyes wild open in fear.
