The Marvelous Elijah’s Return Chapter 111

Chapter 111Chapter 111-The real will
The lights of multiple cameras immediately went off and on as the police cars arrived at the station and
Mr. Bamford was confused by all the paparazzi there because he didn‘t let many people know about
the arrest.
“What is going on?"
Elmer shouted from the back, feeling a wave of nervousness hit him as a look of embarrassment
settled on his face.
“Who alerts the paparazzi about this?!”
That question immediately brought one name to both Elmer and Mr. Bamford‘s minds,‘ Elijah….
“That bastard!!"
Elmer cried, fear seeping into his voice “Bamford, that boy is not a saint… He‘s a thug and he‘s trying
to ruin our lives! This is his doing.
Our family wealth and reputation had gained us a lot of enemies, and he‘s just another bitter one who
does want to see our family fall – ”
“But he didn‘t force your hands to steal company funds from investors and fraud documents… That
was your own doing."
Mr. Bamford said with a sigh as he unbuckled his seatbelt.
“Investistic Co.is my father‘s labor that he entrusted me with… Do you think I will destroy it because of greed and
selfishness? No.
Elijah used the board of directors to create fake, incriminating evidence against me…”
“From what I know.
The company was giving it to Peach in Mr. Hayes‘s will, and you were supposed to take care of it until
she‘s married, so if she is suing you for damaging it, I don‘t see how that‘s not the right thing to do.”
“Bamford, you don‘t understand.”
“I don‘t need to.
I just have to do my job, and that‘s what I am doing.”
Looking back at the two officers on the right and left sides of Elmer, Mr. Bamford commanded, “Take
him out."
The reporters and journalists didn‘t wasted time, and the second the car doors opened, they started
throwing questions left and right.
Hiding his face behind his cuffed hands, Elmer walked along with the officers as they escorted him into
the building, flashes of lights hitting his face and the sound of reporters shouting after them.
The doors to Investistic Co.opened and Elijah walked in alongside Peach, immediately gaining the
attention of the new employees, their presence instantly catching everyone‘s attention.
It was no secret to any of them about the rumors that Melina Hayes had spread over the months and
how others believe that Elijah was using her for the Hayes wealth.
But right now as they stared at them, no one could denied that they looked like a power couple.The shock she felt from how different and organized the company was from the first time she and her
husband was here made Peach speechless.
Smiling a bit more confident, she squeezed Elijah‘s hand, walking close by his side in a camel pantsuit,
a silk sliver cami, simple strappy heels, leather clutch, and gold chain link necklace that complimented
his chocolate brown three pieces suit with a neat–fitted black dress shirt.
Eyes stretched wide open, the employees remained on the couple until they got into the elevator with
Matt, Ryan, and Brookie.
Although Elijah said nothing and kept his attention ahead as the elevator started to move upward.
Peach couldn‘t take her eyes off her husband, her heart beating faster and harder as she stared at his
strong jawline, serious expression, and dark eyes.
When Elijah noticed her eyes on him, he smiled softly, letting go of her hands and grabbing her by the
waist, and pulling her closer to her body, causing Peach‘s face to heat up with shyness.
“Thanks,"
Peach mumbled beneath her breath, feeling the warmth of his arms around her body.
The black Range Rover came to a stop in front of Investistic Co.
and Madam Jewel pushed the car door open, rushing out of the backseat with Kent and her other
bodyguards.
As she matched toward the glass door, Jake immediately recognized her and stood in front of the
entrance, making her halt in step and scowled at him.
“Move out of my way!"Madam Jewel ordered, but Jake didn‘t budge as he kept his distance from her.
“I am sorry, but all Hayeses that are not Peach or Miss Grace are banned from entering this building.
So, please turn around and walked back to your car."
Jake stated bluntly as Madam Jewel glared back at him.
A look of disbelief crossed her face before a mirthless laugh escaped her lips, unable to believe what
her ears had just heard.
But that didn‘t shake Rake from his position nor did it seem like her reaction t had any effect on him.
Suddenly, her laughter died down, and she stepped towards Rake, pointing a finger into his chest as a
frown formed on her lips as she said, “This company belongs to your my husband –”
“I don‘t think Peach Hayes is your husband, Madam… If you have Alzheimer‘s, I advise you to go to the
nearby hospital."
Jake interrupted her sentence with a smirk on his lips.
Speechless from rage, Madam Jewel just stared blankly into Jake‘s eyes with the most intimidating
glare anyone could ever give, but he remained unfazed as he waited for her to leave.
Then she looked back at Kent, met his eyes with a cold gaze, and commanded, “Get this street rat out
of my way!”
“Madam, I will very much advise you not to force my hands,"
Rake responded, his tone serious yet firm.But she ignored his warning, stepping back for Kent to come over to Rake, and when he was a foot
from him, Kent slapped his palm hard on Rake‘s shoulder, saying, “Move!”
But before he could get the chance to react, Rake grabbed his wrist, yanked his hand off him, pulling
him closed before banging his kneecap in between his legs, causing Kent to fall onto his knees while
gasping in pain.
A look of horror filled Madam Jewel‘s eyes as she saw her bodyguard down on the floor, tears
streaming down his cheeks.
“You useless bastard… How can you call yourself my bodyguard if you can’t even beat up a piece of
trash?!"
She snapped in al low tone, furiously, staring daggers at Kent before turning back to Rake, glaring once
more.
“I am not leaving here until I speak to that… that… Elijah! Do you hear me?! So if you.
want to beat up an old woman, then come on, beat me up! Here hit me! Elijah told you to hit me right…
to beat his wife‘s grandmother… that‘s the kind of person your boss is right?!"
Madam Jewel screamed, earning the attention of passersby and the employees in the lobby of the
building.
A slightly nervous look entered Rake‘s eye for a while as he noticed the crowd growing bigger, and
when Madam Jewel saw that, she kept screaming even louder, ignoring the sense of humiliation and
rage she felt within that this was what she had become, “What?! Are you afraid to hit me now that
others‘ eyes are on you? You weren‘t afraid to beat up my poor bodyguard.novelbinSo go on! Do what Elijah told you to do and beat me up!"
Suddenly, the doors of the lobby opened, and Elijah stepped out, thankful to Susan at the front desk for
reporting the disturbance to him.
“Don‘t you know that Defamation is or crime, or do you want to join your son in a prison cell, so he can‘t
feel lonely, huh?"
Elijah asked in a cold, threatening tone.
Her face grew pale with shock at Elijah‘s words, and she sealed her lips, a feeling of humiliation
washing over her as the people started murmuring among themselves, looking at her.
It was no secret by now that Elmer got arrested since every news platform was covering it already, and
she knew this, so she asked in a low tone, “Can you step aside with me for a second and let‘s talk?”
“What‘s the magic word?"
Elijah asked, his expression dead serious.
Swallowing the huge feeling of ego that almost choked her, Madam Jewel darted her eyes around and
then focused on Elijah, saying, “Please,”
A faint, stiff smile tugged on Elijah‘s lips as he nodded slightly before walking ahead of her away from
the crowd to the other side.
When they were far from the other‘s ears, Madam Jewel hesitated for a moment and then asked Elijah,
saying softly, “How much will it cost to drop the charges against Elmer? Name your price.”
At first, Elijah felt insulted and annoyed, but then a fat smile appeared on his lips as a thought crossed
his mind and he let out calmly, “Give me the real will of Mr. Hayes, and Elmer walks free.”
