The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 161

Bloodshed and Crime “Elijah Maxwell is back in the country. The thirty–one years old, Third –generation billionaire was cornered by the paparazzi this morning at nine o‘clock at Syldavia national airport with his bodyguards…” The news lady said, and Madam Jewel scowled at the television.

Then she threw a glare at Eli, who was sitting a couple of distance from her in the next chair as they listened, “The heir of the Maxwell family refused to answer questions about his wife, the young granddaughter of Mr. Hayes, but he did say that his reasons for returning to the country are to attend to business–related matters…”

“Your father is useless!” Madam Jewel hissed under her breath, which made Eli eyed her, “How hard is it to kill two people… Just two! Each

day I wake up, knowing that Peach and Elijah are still breathing the same air as me after everything they have done to our family… it is infuriating!”

When Eli didn‘t say anything, that only made her even more enraged and she lashed out, “Elijah is back in the country now… Call your father and tell him that I want him dead today… Do you hear me?!”

“Mom,” Eli mumbled in annoyance.

“Do it now!”

“Fine!”

Sighing out his frustration, Eli picked up his phone, listening to the reporter say, “Mr. Bamford with his officers are also here to aid in escorting the Maxwells‘ heir out of the airport.”

“Father,” Eli said into his phone, trying to sound calm while ignoring his mother‘s strong glare.

“Eli, what is it?” Thornton‘s voice came over the phone.

“Elijah is back in the country, and I want him to die today!” Madam Jewel exclaimed furiously.

There was silence on the other end of the line before Thornton finally spoke, “Eli, tell your mother to turn on the tv and see how over protected her so–called grandson–in–law is.”

Already hearing it because Eli had put the phone on loudspeaker, Madam Jewel lashed out, “I sacrifice both of my sons to your dirty business just so you can kill these two, so if you are not willing to access us with something this simple in return, then–”

“Chill, Jewel. Mathew, Eli, and I got a transaction to carry out tonight, and once we accomplished it and got the cash, I, myself, will put a bullet in Elijah‘s brain because it seems like my men are useless ass, and I can‘t trust them to get the job done.” Thornton assured, sounding annoyed.

Frowning, Madam Jewel snorted loudly, making Eli roll his eyes, and then she snapped, “Just get it done before he goes back into hiding

again!”

The mansion felt empty as Elijah walked through the front door, stepping into the hallway with a frown on his face, and even though he knew it was for the best that he left Peach under his father‘s protection, missing her was something he couldn‘t ignore.

The silence in the house died down the moment he stepped into the living room and saw Matt, Ryan, Rookie, and Scorpio, sitting there, staring back at him.

“Boss!!” All four men yelled shortly in excitement, jumping off their seats and running toward him with smiles on their faces.

The noise echoed for a while as they took turns greeting him with a handshake, and then it died down when James entered the living room, seeing Elijah, and said, “You are back… Grace told me what happened at the party… Is Peach okay?”

Immediately, all the men wore concerned expressions as they waited for Elijah to answer, looking at him, and then Elijah replied, “She‘s okay. But I want last night to be the last time Jewel has the chance to try and hurt anyone of us… It‘s their turn to feel what it means to be

hunted.”

Those words made silence settle in the atmosphere for a while before everyone nodded their heads.

“Scorpio, do you know Thornton?” Elijalı asked after some seconds.
