The Marvelous Elijah’s Return Chapter 163

Chapter 163Chapter 163 MOTHER!!
The moment Melina stepped out of her car, a swamp of reporters came for her with their camera crews
There were at least twenty different journalists with microphones and cameras all clamoring to talk to
her. She tried to keep them away from her by holding up her hands in a placating gesture, but her
efforts went unappreciated as she was surrounded immediately on all sides.
“Melina! Have you watched your Ex-husband’s interview with Thomas Jefferson from the Point Media
about your infidelities within the years of your marriage?” A journalist asked.
Then another reporter soon cut in, pushing his mic into Melina’s face, saying “Is it true you manipulated
the media and used your influence to shift the blame on him when in fact you were the one who
cheated and abandoned him?”
“I never cheated and never abandoned my husband… Imean ex-husband!” Melina shouted, struggling
to push past the reporters. But they weren’t budging. They just kept coming forward and shouting
questions like, “What do you say to the video of you kissing Derrick Manson, your father’s best friend,
Mr. Mason’s oldest son, and making up with him at the birthday party he allegedly threw for you why
you are still married to Mr. Maxwell.”
“At that time, Elijah and I were already talking about getting a divorce… We bickered constantly and
had fights. He was so infuriating sometimes that I didn’t even know if I was going to make it out of the
relationship alive… You all knew him to be my no-good stay-at home husband then. But you didn’t
know the monster that I was living with behind closed
doors!” Melina screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping off of her chin.”I had to find
love somewhere else… because at home… at home, it was a horror show that not even my family
knew about!”A look of confusion settled on the news reporters’ faces, and even though all of them were thinking
about the question, none of them dare to utter those words until after a couple of mninutes of silently,
someone mumbled, “Fuck it,”
“Melina, are you claiming that Elijah Maxwell was an abusive husband and that’s why you cheated on
him with Derrick Manson?” He continued as he focused his camera on her teary eyes. “You have no
idea… the horror… the horror I was living through!” Melina choked out. “He once threw a wine bottle at
me, and I swear that night, I thought he was going to kill me!”
“So did you divorce him because he was a no-good loser at that time, or because he cheated on you
with your cousin, his current wise, or because he was an abusive husband and therefore you needed
another man’s touch to make you feel safe from your allegedly abusive husband? Which one is it?”
Nervously, Melina darted her eyes, realizing that the reporters weren’t eating what she was feeding
them, and then she tried again, “. “The last time you attacked Peach Maxwell for this so-called abusive
man, and claimed that she stole him from you…and how much you love him! At that time, the way you
acted, he didn’t seem to be this monster that you are suddenly describing… So which story are you
trying to sell here?” Another female reporter asked, The other reporters started nodding, and one by
one Melina could see that there wasn’t any point in lying anymore, and she just shouted, “You all are
victim-blaming!”
Then she rushed back into her car, started the engine, and drove off, almost hitting two reporters, who
jumped out of the way immediately.
“The companies are falling apart. The employees are resigning like crazy, and our investors and
partners are pulling out of the businesses… Our family names have become like a plague that other
companies and individuals don’t want to deal with because their stocks are at risk because of scandals
like these!” Tommy lashed out, looking away from the television.Staring at her two brothers, Amelia sighed, and then her gaze lowered as she mumbled, “I can not
believe Elmer, Mathew, Cora, and Eli are all caught up in this shitty web that Elijah has set up against
our family.”
“You are seriously your mother-daughter!” Dean growled, pacing around as he rubbed his forehead.
“All Mother has ever been doing is cleaning up the mess your daughter dragged us into over a couple
of million bucks bet! It’s not our mother’s fault that that scumbag had power and money working on
behalf of him?!… Honestly, I can’t believe you think Mother is to be blamed
for this, and you are taking his side.”
“I am on no one’s side here! Did you see the shit that he just did to my daughter?! He had ruined her
character and made her a public enemy. If there’s anyone I want to mess up pretty badly is him. But if
my children are getting condemned for the shithole we are stuck in, then our mother gets all of the
blame! That’s the only way this is gonna end well for the three of us!
Silence settled in the room as the remaining three children of Madam Jewel, who still had the taste of
freedom on their tongues wallowed in their thoughts.
“I say, ‘We sell the companies and the properties, move to another country, and forget about this whole
ordeal. I mean…we are not going to be able to come up with a good enough strategy to fight Elijah…”
Tommy spoke up slowly. “That filth-bag is filthy rich. We are only going to end up like the other four.”
“The companies aren’t worth much now anyway.” Amelia pointed out. “We have gone bankrupt due to
Elijah’s bullshit… The only way to fix this is to fix our image and ruin his.” “You sound like your mother,
Amelia.” “What? And you think selling the companies and properties is the solution to this whole
debacle… Huh, Dean?!”The sudden sound of Madam Jewel’s voice made the three of them turn to see her timeworn face with
puffy bags under her eyes, red nose, and hair disarray, “You guys are going to do what?!”
“Mother, it’s not like that.” Amelia quickly said, standing from her chair.
“Ohhh, it’s definitely like that! Tommy’s plan is genius! We sell the companies… After all, it’s not legally
ours anyways. We split the money, and everyone goes their separate ways, and does whatever the hell
they want.” Dean said, glaring at their mother.
Scowling at Tommy, Madam Jewel’s eyes glow dark as she lashes out, “Are you losing your damn
mind?!”
“No. He’s a genius!” Dean mocked, his anger towards his mother running as deep as his hate for Elijah.
“Shut up, Dean!” “Forget it! We three are not going to be your guinea pigs in your so-called sacrifices…
If we are to go after Elijah, it will not be in accordance with your advice. After all, the ones you have
given have messed up this family pretty badly. We can not even see Eli and Mathew again because the
FBI are the ones holding them…” Seeing how Tommy and Amelia’s faces fell at their brother’s words,
Madam Jewel scowled and asked, “So is this a joint decision among you three to sell what I have
shared blood and sweat for?!”
When Amelia and Tommy didn’t utter a word and instead avoided eye contact with each other, Madam
Jewel sighed, shaking her head, and went out of the room, mumbling, “Just know that whatever
happens to me, you three and Elijah are to be blamed.” Staring at her husband through the video call
on her phone screen, Peach sighed, asking with concern in lier eyes, “I just watched the interview with
Melina… I can’t believe she said those absurd things. Claiming that you are an abuser… She had me
wondering if she was married to the same inan that I am married to.”
“Honestly, I wasn’t shocked… The thing about people with black hearts, they are always destructive or
self-sabotaging! They will do anything for a chance to destroy others’ reputations or even destroythemselves…” Elijah said, smiling at his wife even though they were talking about something sensitive,
which made Peach curious.
“What is it?”
“Lift your clothes,”
That request left her confused at first, but when Elijah raised his eyebrows at her, she realized exactly
what it meant and smiled.
As she lifted her nightgown, took it off, and tossed it to the side, showing her chest and stomach, he
smiled wider at the sight, before leaning in towards his phone, mumbling, “Hey, baby…”
Staring down at her stomach where his eyes were locked, Peach smiled widely when he said softly,
“Daddy will be home soon, okay? I love you…”
A faint chuckle left her lips when she heard the way he was so tender with his tone when he said ‘I love
you.” “I can’t believe I am already being replaced before you even enter this world.” Peach whispered
teasingly.
A laugh escaped Elijah’s lips as he grinned at his wife, and then mumbled, “What made you say that?”
“Because I am wearing this sexy lingerie, and yet, your eyes are never leaving my belly button,” Peach
replied, giggling
Slowly. Elijah raised his gaze and then lowered it, a smirk on his face, “Damn, Mrs. Maxwell… You look
so hot in that! I might just buy myself a round-trip ticket to assist you in taking it
ofl…”A wild laugh escaped her lips as she shook her head at him, unable to stop laughing and snorting
lightly, which made Elijah chuckle hard. The sound of a knock on his door made Elijah look back and
then listen to Ryan’s voice echo,” Boss, can I come in?”
“Ryan is here,” Elijah said as Peach wiped the tears from her eyes because of how hard she was
laughing
“Okay… I have to go now for breakfast. Your mother said she has some soups for me to try that are
supposed to strengthen the baby and me and give us good health.” Peach replied with a smile.
After the call ended between them, Elijah looked back at the door, saying, “Come in, Rayn.” The door
opened a moment later, and then Ryan walked in looking pissed, “Your ex has no shame… How could
she lie like that through her teeth with crocodile tears?!”
“It’s Melina after all.” Elijah calmly said, knowing that the media was already doing their job to debunk
the nonsense she had spewed in front of the cameras and press. “I told Thomas my truth, so, at this
point, she’s the one ruining herself with the lies.” After a long pause, Ryan walked to the chair, sat to
face his boss, and then asked, “Are you really for your next move?”
“Is that even a question,” Elijah said, a smirk playing on his lips.
Watching her brothers casually sit around the table without their mother’s presence, Amelia frowned,
saying, “Ain’t you two worry the slightest that mother isn’t here with us for breakfast?”
“Why would we?” Dean answered, shrugging. “She’s not a kid. She will come down when she gets
hungry.” “You know, Dean…” Tommy spoke, smirking. “Selling the company to someone in this country
will be hard to do since everyone knows our family mess… I think we should sell internationally.”
Giving his brother a smug smile, Dean took a huge bite from his chicken and then said,” Smart. We can
get more money then.”novelbin“You two don’t even have the will and deeds…” Amelia interrupted with a sigh.
“If our mother can falsify documents, we too can.” Tommy said confidently. Narrowing her eyes, Amelia
stood from the chair and mumbled, “I am going to check on mother.”
As he watched his sister walk ofl, Dean scoffed. “Stop using your heart Amelia and instead lise your
brain. This ain’t the time to let your emotions take over.”
“My emotions are my own… I choose whom I allow to control me and what kind of person I become.”
Amelia said before heading upstairs.
When she got to madam Jewel’s door, she hesitated before knocking, and then she opened it, stepping
inside.
The moment her eyes lowered to the floor, she screamed, “Dean!!! Tommy, Get up here now!!!
MOTHER!!”
