The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 41

You don’t want to die

After a few minutes of silence and tense tension between Elijah and Madam Jewel, Peach broke the silence and nervously said, “This is not Elijah’s fault, and if you want me to apologize to you.”

“You don’t need to feel remorseful for saying your truth” Elijah interrupted, his voice slightly calmer compared to before

Pinching his shirt, Peach pouted as she thought, ‘I know But if you keep provoking her like this, you might also get hurt, and it will be my fault I can’t let that happen, and I won’t let myself be responsible for it!’

Staring at Elijah’s body blocking Peach from her view, Madam Jewel’s gaze flickered towards Elijah and she narrowed her eyes suspiciously, thinking, ‘Is he being this defensive with Peach, so she can shield him too because of her connection with Bryan Checks. Does he know that they are dating, and that’s why he’s risking it all to gain her favor?!’

Raising a brow, Madam Jewel looked down on Elijah and mumbled in her head, ‘That must be it He’s way too bold and defensive of Peach to not know about her relationship with Checks. He must think that he’s invincible because he’s protecting Bryan’s girlfriend. what a loser

A mocking laugh echoed from Madam Jewel’s lips, and she shook her head, amused at the notion of Elijah, how pathetic he was to think that he is untouchable if he’s close to Peach

“Melina was right You are just a leech who uses women to climb society’s ladder and feed off them “Madam Jewel said in her usual harsh and sarcastic voice

Shaking her head, she drew a deep breath, glared at Matt and then at James, turning her cold eyes on Miss Grace before focusing back on Elijah.

“Don’t forget this day because I will make you regret it for the rest of your pathetic life, you hear me!” Madam Jewel spat angrily, her eyes flashing with hatred.

The pame was on, and Elijah knew it he realized just how detest able this woman was, and he look none of her words lightly because he could see it in her eyes that she truly meant them,

“I think I have found out what I came here to learn, so I will take my leave.” Madam Jewel announced in an arrogant and haughty voice

With that she turned her heels and walked away from Elijah and Peach, leaving the lobby and everyone, except Elijah in a state of shock.

No one said much for a couple of seconds until Elijah and Miss Grace’s eyes locked and she let out humbly, “You shouldn’t have done that, Elijah… You guys should travel… leave here before the situation turns ugly…”
