The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Loose ends 

A sense of rage awakened from Madam Jewel’s bruised ego at the thought that a lowlife would dare challenge the Hayeses with such a direct insult to their faces, and a feeling of disbelief overcame her as she mumbled, “Elijah, Elijah? Melina’s ex-husband… Peach’s current husband did that… to your face?”.

The way his mother pressed on those words made Elmer even more irritated, and with a sharp inhale he finally snapped, “Yes… Now, can we just drop it? I already have a plan to deal with that bastard, so can We just focus on the company and the fact that I’m Peach now owns Investistic Co?”

A shock coursed through the entire group, except Madam Jewel, who sighed out her frustration, feeling the tension in the room build-up, as she turned around, walked back towards her seat, saying in a hushed voice, 1 cant. This is just…”

“Peach owns what?!” Cora cried out, looking completely confused, and while she glanced around at the others, they seemed just as lost as she was.

Meeting Elmer’s eyes, Amelia screwed her face into a scowl as she asked, “What do you mean she owns your company? What is this all about?”

Since he was already in the embarrassing zone, Elmer dropped on the couch, relax, and said, “I lost the investment deals with Gordan and the others because Peach showed up with that devil’s spawn of a husband by her side and the Will mother give her.”

“But the will got burnt… You all were here… you saw the look of doom and despair on her face when mother…* Amelia trailed off, unable to continue with the sentence as she stared into space, still in deep shock

– Squirting his eyes, Eli’s jaw clenched tightly and he turned away, muttering, “Exactly, Peach left us no

doubt that the will got burnt.”

“Well, she does have the exact copy mother gave her and a young lawyer that seems to be with Elijah… Honestly, I am still confused about the shit that went down this morning…” Elmer responded, rubbing at the bridge of his nose.

Fixing his eyes on Madam Jewel, Dean hesitated for a moment, before mumbling, “Was it the exact copy of the will or…”

“Meeks has a spare copy. We made three originals for just-in-case situations, and now, judging from Peach’s mood a day ago, it’s not possible that these wills are the same…” Madam Jewel explained in a

grave voice, her eyes fixed on her son.

“What if she was just calling a bluff then?” Amelia blurted out.

“Why would she call a bluff? What would she have been trying to accomplish by doing that back then?” Cora wondered, voicing her thoughts aloud.

A couple of silent minutes passed as everyone thought about the situation, until Elmer cleared his throat, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and replied in a humble voice, ‘That Elijah dude is a piece of mystery… First, he’s living off Melina, then he’s a thug, he’s hanging around Bryan Checks, and now, he has Mr. Bamford doing his dirty work-”
