The Marvelous Elijah's Return Leave it to me
The room was quiet as the silence dragged on as Elijah and Bryan sat there, relaxing on the couch, now that Curtis, Hosah, and Joey had left them alone. “Well, I don't know why I underestimate a Maxwell... But I thought you were going to find Joey's words offensive and not want to work with him.” Bryan broke the silence. “And miss the opportunity of correcting my image in the eyes of someone who acted out of ignorance?... After today, what do you think Joey's impression would be of me... still the same or...?” Elijah paused and looked at Bryan. “He seemed to respect you-” “And he didn't have that for me when I first walked in here... Have you ever worked under someone you have wronged and had to live up to correcting your image with them, every time you see them?” “He’s going to be very careful around you, from now on, always remembering his mistake.” “Exactly. Now, isn't that more fun watching the one that disdains you in your face, spent his days respecting your opinions an
The Marvelous Elijah's Return The fear of the unknown
The silence in Mr. Bamford’s office was ruined when his door cracked open, making the chief constable raise his gaze to see Elijah and Ryan, and he immediately dropped his pen, resting back in his seat with a small smile tugged on his lips.“Good morning, Mr. Darius and Mr. Katz.” Mr. Bamford let out as he watched them approach him. “Please take a seat.”At first, Ryan seemed shocked that Mr. Bamford knew his last name, and then he remembered that he gave the chief his bar card.After Elijah and he sat down, Mr. Bamford studied Ryan's face with this suspicious glint in his eyes, and then he turned to Elijah, saying in a dead-serious tone, “You are not the man you claim to be.”The silence in the room after that statement was deafening. It was like someone had turned up the volume and it took them a moment to realise that there was no sound other than that of their own breathing.The calmness in Elijah's eyes didn't fade as Mr. Bamford held his gaze on him, waiting for him to say some
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Judgment day
The silence in the lobby was ruined by Daniel, Mr. Boone, Elrod, Madden, Laurier, Viotto, Fox, Caddel, Francis, and Mr. Amana’s steps as they walked through the front door of Investistic Co.The ten men looked confused, seeing that Elijah was not there to greet them, and only Dice with a bunch of security guards were standing in the building, and some guarding outside.Since they recognized Dice from the other day, they approached him, and knowing Elijah's instructions, Dice smiled softly at the men, giving them a welcoming atmosphere.“Where are Elijah and Peach?” Mr. Boone asked him.“My boss will be here soon, but in the meantime, you guys can wait on him in the board room.” Dice said, keeping his face calm while looking into their eyes.“This is crazy. Why host a meeting if you can not show up on time,” Mr. Elrod said, frowning hard.“Please follow me to the conference room.” “Ignoring me, I see.”A faint smile was the only thing he got from Dice before he walked off, heading fo
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Over my dead body
In the left corner of the casino, at the red leather couches, Elmer Hayes sat with his table covered with expensive wines and snacks. A couple of young girls sat on his right and left side as he and his old friends sat around a mahogany table in front of him, drinking and Elmer took the deck of cards in his hand. “Okay... this time, I am going all in!” He laughed loudly, slapping the cards together on top of each other before pushing them into the center of the table, “I bet five million dollars on this one...” Immediately an awkward silence circled among his friends and he instantly noticed their disturbed and hesitant gazes toward him. “Don’t be such a mood killer and place your bets!” Elmer smiled, trying to diffuse the tension around him. “I don't have that kind of money to bet on cards...” His friend Lucas said looking at the cards and Elmer could tell he was lying by the expression on his face. “Come on man we're all good here... just make your damn bet and play, no
The Marvelous Elijah's Return a week to get it done
Pacing back and forth as she bit on her nails, Peach couldn't get herself to stop panicking like her hold world was on the line, and she kept tapping her phone against her palm, wondering if she should send Elijah a text or call. “He said he will handle it... You trust that he can take care of it... So why are you freaking out, damn it!” Peach hissed at herself through gritted teeth. Then she froze when she heard the sound of the door unlocking, causing her ears to raise slightly, listening, and then her eyelids shut when she heard Elijah's voice in the living room, saying, “You can just leave them here, Dice.” For a moment, she didn't move, not even when their room door opened and she heard his footsteps approaching from behind her. Smiling softly, Elijah hugged her from the back, nuzzling his nose into her neck as he wrapped an arm around her waist before pressing his cheek against hers. Her body stiffened as her emotions got the best of her. She tried to hide it, but it was
The Marvelous Elijah's Return Putting a price on Justice
“Why is Elijah not dead yet?!” Madam Jewel screamed, her voice echoing throughout the walls of the living room of the Hayes mansion. “We are in the new month and that scumbag told me last month that he was going to complete his job soon, and now, we still have a pest problem. The living room went silent after those words and none of her children spoke for a while, their faces clouded with worry. But then Cora couldn't hold back her thoughts again saying, “How is he doing this?!... We all thought he would be dead by now, but he's still very much alive... We thought Investistic Co. would be bankrupt by now, but in the past few days, the company has started operating again with new employees and will soon kick off... Nothing is adding up.” “.... I tried talking to an employee from ‘SEC’ to tell me about the document those fools made Elijah get a hold of and see if we can get them out of the company. But I got told that Elijah has all the original copies and the agency is working with
The Marvelous Elijah's Return 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 labo
The Marvelous Elijah's Return We are too old for flirty games
A look of pure terror immediately appeared on Madam Jewel's face, and her hands were slightly shaking out of pure panic, she glanced around the area as she tried to look calm and not show any signs of weakness, which only caused a small grin to appear on Elijah’s face.Staring at her shaky gaze, he knew that his guess was right, that the will Peach got wasn't what her grandfather actually gave to her, and that Madam Jewel was hiding his original will, but in that instant, the only thought on his mind was, ‘Why?’ People don't conceal a will and allegedly kill a lawyer over it if what is written on it is not damaging to them and their families. And that is exactly what Madam Jewel did.Being Ninety-eight percent sure that there was something out there that the Hayes feared so much for Peach to see, Elijah's determination became even stronger and made him ask, “Where is the will, Jewel? Hand me it, and your son walks free with all charges dropped.”Trying to snap herself out of the feel
