The Marvelous Elijah’s Return Chapter 89

Chapter 89Phone the police now
As the security guards approached Elijah and the others, Ryan calmly took out a file from his briefcase
and looked back at Elmer and the investors.
“Well, I am a lawyer with a couple of degrees, including A Doctor of Juridical Science degree, and this
is a valid will that both Mr. Hayes and the law enforcement officials‘ signatures are on, which proves
everything that Peach has told you guys, that this company is now under her management,” Ryan
explained calmly, taking out the document and showing it to the investors.
“I have worked with Meeks before, and that is definitely his signature on this paper. He‘s a man of
honor, and so am I,” Mr. Walker immediately stated, glaring at Elmer.
The security reached the scene but immediately stopped out of confusion, seeing that no one was
attacking Elmer and just stood there looking at each other.
“It could be a fraud! Who knows...” Elmer answered, shrugging nonchalantly.
“But we do know. You just blurted out that you thought the will got destroyed along with the motel, yet
now you are telling us it‘s a fraud will? What sense are you trying to make here, Elmer?!” Mr. Walker
snapped, getting increasingly more irritated and angry at him.
Scowling as a sense of desperation began to arise within Elmer, he ran his hands through his hair,
gritted his teeth, and let out, “You don‘t know what goes on with the Hayes behind closed doors, you
don‘t understand what I know. I know them better than anyone in this place and trust me, Peach and
Elijah are trouble... they have been that for our family from day one!”
“Hold up!” Mr. Gordan exclaimed, his eyebrows knitted into a confused frown, “My wife was telling me
something about the night of Mr. Hayes‘s death anniversary that I couldn‘t attend because of work...”Immediately, a look of horror crossed Elmer‘s face, knowing that he just got caught in his own lies, and
he swallowed dryly.
“You know women... They gossip a lot to their husbands, so it‘s not strange that I just remember this
now, but she said Madam Jewel suddenly give her exiled step–granddaughter a company, saying it
was in Mr. Hayes‘ will with an ultimatum to be married before she can claim it!”
His voice was loud, sounding almost triumphant like he was excited to remember his wife‘s words since
she nagged him often about not listening to her.
Immediately, his remark brought tension and whispers within the lobby since most employees knew of
this already, and it was a rumor that traveled like wildfire through the company, but except you are
above the Hayes, you don‘t dare speak against them in the open.
“Elijah?” Mr. Gordan said, looking directly into his eyes. “My wife said a lot of things about you that
night.”
“How awful where then?” Elijah asked with a casual tone.
“Not awful... Her words made me intrigued. You have made a couple of bad reputations for yourself
that it makes me curious to find out if you are just a reckless fool, or there‘s a mask hiding behind it
all...”
“We are not kids anymore, so why would I want to play pretend?” Elijah said in a dull voice with a cold
expression
‘What the hell is going on? Why is Gordan looking impressed by this fool?‘ Elmer thought, looking
nervously around the lobbyThen he focused on the four investors, looking directly at Mr Wolker, and said, “look, these two are not
the ones who are right here and this company.”
Phone the police now
novelbin“... Will not be getting a dime from me. Actually, you will be the one not getting a single cent from me to
invest in this place... I was already doubtful because of your character and the rumors about you... But
your family name made me have second thoughts ... Not anymore though.” Mr. Walker interrupted
Elmer angrily.
A look of disbelief and raw shock appeared on Elmer‘s face as he watched Mr. Walker moved past him,
leaving through the front door.
Then he looked back at the others, looking desperate and pleading, whispering, “Gordan, let me...”
“Your mother should not have promised her granddaughter something if you guys knew you were not
ready to let it go... Peach got married, this company is hers, and I can‘t work with you since you are not
the rightful owner now.” Mr. Gordan said, looking disappointed with Elmer.
In silence, he watched Mr. Gordan shake his head and walked off, making Mr. Brown and Mr. Raz look
doubtful at each other.
“You two are not thinking about...” Elmer mumbled, pausing as he watched Mr. Brown and Mr. Raz
walk off, one of them letting out, “The deal is off... It‘s not something I was sure about in the first place,
knowing the state of your company.”
A frown crossed Elijah‘s face after that remark as he thought it over in his head, trying to make sense
of what Mr. Raz meant.Looking at the last investor in desperation, Elmer met his eyes and said, “Greg, you believed me at first
right?! All this is a plot by my niece–”
“Whatever is going on in your family, I don‘t want to get involved in it... So don‘t ask for my opinion, and
I am out of here!” Greg replied sharply, walking past Elmer, and leaving the lobby through the front
entrance.
Rage began boiling up inside of Elmer as he stood there alone, feeling defeated and betrayed, and
then he turned to face Ryan, screaming, “You!! What kind of a fake–ass lawyer are you?! How much
did he bribe you to come over here and do this nonsense!?”
“Mr. Hayes, I will advise you to take the easy way out of this and leave now, so you won‘t make it hard
on yourself. Because by law, we have the right to use reasonable force if you don‘t comply.” Ryan
spoke softly and politely, but there was a hint of warning in his words.
Frowning, Elmer glared at Peach and then at Elijah, saying with sarcasm laced in his words, ‘You are
one good con artist... Where did you get this lousy guy to pretend to be a lawyer, huh?!”
A scoff escaped Elijah‘s mouth, as he sniffed back his anger, his eyes narrowed slightly as a sense of
frustration began growing inside of him as he mumbled, ‘You Hayes, and your damn arrogance...”
Ignoring Elijah‘s words, Elmer looked over at Ryan to see him reaching for his briefcase to put the file
back inside, and he immediately rushed for Ryan, stretching his hands out to grab the file.
But before he could, Elijah grabbed his wrist, and when Elmer realized it, he twirled around, elbowing
Elijah in the nose Intentionally, yanking his hand out of Elijah‘s grip when it loosened a bit.
“Don‘t you dare touch me, you piece of filth!” Elmer yelled angrily, glaring at Elijah as he clapped his
palm over his nose.“What is wrong with you!” Peach screamed in worry, glaring at her uncle.
When Elmer saw the look of disgust in her eyes, he felt another wave of anger rush inside of him, and
he raised his hand, shouting, “You tramp!”
Before his hand could leave the air, Elijah grabbed his wrist and twisted it, causing him to scream out
loudly.
Phone the police no
Tears immediately filled in his eyes as pain shot throughout every bone and nerve in his body an ho
screamed, “You–”
Suddenly, Elijah shoved Elmer back, sending him stumbling onto his ass, on the floor, and fear crossed
his face as he watched Elijah walk over to him with a look on his face that said, “You are luck,”
The security guards woke from their shock, but as they rushed to help Elmer, Mali blocked their path,
and said firmly in their direction, “That‘s not your fight to intervene in.”
A guard scoffed in arrogance and attempted to pass Matt, but he immediately got punched hard across
the jaw by Matt, causing the guard to stumble backward.
“This is the line, cross it and I will put you behind it.” Mall continued, taking a few steps toward the
guard with his fists clenched as he stepped closer
Squatting over Elmer, Elijah rested one of his kneecaps on the life and grabbed Elmer by his collar as
he tightened his fist, raising his hand in the air.
“You arrogant ass!” Elijah growled lowly under his breath as he allowed his fist to fly down, making
harsh contact with Elmer‘s cheekbone.A cry of pain ripped from Elmer‘s mouth as tears sprung up and blurred his vision, but that didn‘t stop
Elijah from back–slapping him in the same spot, whispering in a low tone, “You think I am afraid of your
shitty family because I was a fool for Melina... from here on the only place you get to go, is low and
lower until your ass is buried in shit that no one can pull you out of.”
As Elmer moved his lips to speak, Elijah let his palm whack over his bruised cheek and slapped him
again. Then again, making Elmer scream, making Elijah whisper, “You want to hit my wife... Well, see
this as your punishment for even having such a thought...”
Standing nervously, Peach looked back to see Matt thrashing the guards like it wasn‘t four against one,
and then at her husband slapping the heck out of her step–uncle, and then her eyes darted around to
see
chaos, only for her sight to land on Ryan and see that he was so calm about it all.
‘Who did I marry?‘ Peach thought nervously, looking back at Elijah landing another slap on Elmer who
kept struggling, and she was stuck between talking her husband out of it, or just allowing him to let it all
out, after all, only Elmer‘s face was taking the beating.
Suddenly, a young lady, wearing a short, neat–fitted pencil skirt and her tight blouse, having three
buttons loosened, walked into the lobby and she screamed so loud that everyone‘s attention instantly
turned to her, “Boss!!”
“Natalie, phone the police now!” Elmer cried out to his secretary, the pain from his swollen jaw aching
so bad that his tears kept falling,
