The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 121

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 121 – Call me A forced smile tugged on Madam Jewel’s lip as she gazed at Elijah, but he was too focused on the photos that Scorpio was sending him.

“Elijah,” Madam Jewel called out, watching her tone.

Playing deaf to her, Elijah kept his gaze on his screen, and that had her frownings lightly.

“Elijah, how is Peach?” Madam Jewel asked once again, trying for a more friendly tone as she tried to figure out what was going on.

Immediately, Elijah’s grip tightened on his phone, his gaze froze for a while before he sighed and turned off his screen, shoving the device back into his pocketbefore glaring up at her, annoyed at her hypocrisy.

“You should know how she is doing,” Elijah calmly uttered as he stood from the couch.

A nervous look passed over Madam Jewel’s face, but before she could speak out, Mr. Bamford cut in, “Is Mrs Darius at the company?”.

“No,” Elijah answered a bit stiffly, meeting Madam Jewel’s eyes with a dark stare.

“She’s at home…

feeling a bit under the weather.” Taking his gaze away from the old woman’s worried eyes, Elijah gave the chief constable a small smile and said, “I shouldget back to her.” ‘He is actually playing Jacob’s game! But…

something is not adding up,’ Madam Jewel thought, her eyebrows furrowing as she watched the smile on Elijah’s face, and something about him grinningwhile knowing that his wife was in captivity made chills run down her spine.

With one last smile directed towards the old man, Elijah turned on his heels and walked over to Madam Jewel, stoppingright by her, causing her sons and grandson to tense up, and ready to attack Elijah.

“How are your daughters,granddaughters, daughters‐in‐law, and granddaughters‐in‐law doing?” Elijah whispered, his tone low and dark, hisvoice laced with poison, causing a sense of fear to settle deep inside Madam Jewel.

Her eyes froze open, and then she turned her head to look at him, a look of terror etched acrossher features.

The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere became so thick that even Madam Jewel couldn’t breathe, it was like someone had pressed the pause button onthe television, leaving them both silent.

‘It was you…

But how?’ Madam thought, staring at Elijah with wide eyes and trembling lips.

Noticing his grandmother’s slightly trembling hands, Josh stepped in front of Elijah, puffing his chest, and asked, “What did you say to mygrandmother just now?” “Mr. Hayes, I will advise you to step back.

This is my office and the will be no confrontation…

If you start a fight, you will be handled according to the law.” “He just offended my grandmother with his words‐” “No one here heard what he saidto her, except Madam Jewel, and if she’s not complaining…” Just by the coldness in Elijah’s eyes, Josh stepped back, letting out to please his ego, “Count yourself lucky,” Not uttering a word, Elijah was about to take a step when Madam Jewel grabbed his arm, and he paused, turning around to face her, his brows raised.

“Let’s have a drink somewhere quiet,” Madam Jewel said to him, giving him a pleading expression, hoping that he would understand.

“I rather not,” Elijah replied calmly, yet, his fingers curled into fists, his knuckles turning white.

Believing deep in her soul that Elijah was behind the kidnapping of the women in her family except her, Madam Jewel knew the scale between the control Elijah had over her was at a height that she could only be humble and submissive in his sight.

“Please,” Madam Jewel pleaded, her eyes filled with desperation, and after a few seconds, Elijah’s hand unclenched.

The room went into total shock as everyone stared at Elijah and her, not believing the one word that had left her lips, and he sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose, and closing his eyes.

After a few minutes of silence, he opened his eyes and looked directly at Madam Jewel, reached into his pocket, and took out his wallet, taking out a calling card.

“Call me,” Elijah commanded, handing Madam Jewel the card.
