The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 169

Happily-ever-after The sound of the doorbell made Butler Gray sigh out his frustration and then he walked over to go answer the door.

When he opened it, Mr. Bamford was staring back at him with twelve police officers standing behind him. “Good morning, Chief?” Mr. Gray greeted politely. “May I help you?”

“Except for the workers, who else from the Hayes family is home?” Mr. Bamford asked.

“Madam Jewel is not back from the hospital yet, Ma‘am Martha suddenly packed her things and left, so it‘s only sir Dean who is inside the resident at this moment.”

“Can you get him out here for me?”

“Yes, chief.”

After Butler Gray left the doorway, it took a while before Dean could appear at the door, smelling of alcohol. His face was blotchy red in anger as he stared at Mr. Bamford.

“What do you want?” Dean demanded angrily.

“We have an order from the court. You are notified to move out of the mansion within the next twenty-four hours or else tomorrow, we will have full authority to move you by any means necessary to make sure that you

comply,” Mr. Bamford stated calmly. “The resident is under new ownership, and he has only permitted the workers to continue occupying this space, so you have to leave!”

“Screw Elijah, and screw you!” Dean yelled furiously.

Shaking his head, Mr. Bamford frowned slightly and said, “Well, tomorrow, I can‘t promise that we will be this nice and friendly, so make sure you get out before then.”

Without saying a word, Dean took a step back and then slammed the door in Mr. Bamford‘s face.

After standing frozen for a while, he took out his phone to do a bank transfer but soon realized that his account was frozen.

Suddenly, the heat of frustration awoke in him and he made a call to his bank, immediately lashing out at the receptionist when she picked up, “Why the fuck is my transfer not going through?” “I am so sorry, Mr. Hayes. But because the account is linked to the company and all assets of Vesta Co. have been frozen by the order of the court, your account had to be deactivated for the time being. My sincere–”

Abruptly ending the call, Dean threw his phone at the wall, and watched as it cracked against the hard surface, shouting, “Screw you, Elijah! Screw! You!”

Worry beaming in her eyes, Patricia stared at Tony standing in the doorway of their mansion and then at the officers.

“Good morning, Tommy. According to the court, order by the Chief Justice all properties belonging to Mr. Hayes are rightfully owned by Peach Hayes, and in accordance with her requests, you and your wife and everyone in this residence that is blood–related to Madam Jewel should vacant the building in the next twenty–four hours, and only workers are allowed to stay.” The officers explained.

Pulling on her husband‘s arm, Patricia cried, “Honey, you can‘t allow this to happen!”

“It‘s not your husband‘s decision to make, Madam. The only person that can cancel this order is Elijah and Peach Maxwell… So please get your things and be out of this mansion by tomorrow.” Another officer firmly said. Thinking about not having a grand mansion to live in again made Patricia cry, “Honey…”

“Stop your stupid whining, woman!” Tommy shouted at Patricia, pulling away from his wife completely, and slamming the door closed in the officer’s face.

Then he reached into his pocket for his phone, going to his bank app as he scrolled back into the living room.

“Damnit!!” Tommy growled, his hand shaking around the phone.

“What is it?!” Patricia lashed out in panic.

“They are freezing our damn accounts too!”

“No… No… no… How are we going to live? I don‘t want to be poor!”

“Shut the hell up, woman!”

“Don‘t shout at me when you are nothing but a broke ass! If you don‘t find a way to fix this, I am dumping

you!”

As his face hardened, Tommy scowled at his wife and then said, “Plan B is already in motion… This will not be the end for me.” i

The sound of his shoe hitting the tile as he marched down the hospital lobby echoed softly, and all the nurses kept staring and whispering as they stare, admiring Elijah as his men follow him.

When he reached the front desk, he gave the receptionist a small smile and then asked, “Can you tell me which room Jewel is in?”

Immediately recognizing who he was, the lady stood and said, “Good morning, Mr. Maxwell! Yes, Mr. Maxwell. This way, Mr. Maxwell!”

Giving her another faint smile, Elijah watched her walk from behind the desk and walk around it.
