Peach doesnt deserve that

Peach doesn’t deserve that The living room of the Hayes mansion was quiet, until Dean walked into the doorway, and saw his mother, reading a newspaper. Shutting it, Madam Jewel watched the look of disappointment on his face and then asked, “ Why do you look so dejected?

Sluggishly, Dean shrugged and sat down on the couch opposite his mother, before speaking again, “Elijah got nothing to lose!”

Those words made Madam Jewel raise her eyebrows in shock, and she put down her paper to give her son an incredulous look.

“After waiting one week and expecting an answer, is that all Vlad has to report?! What kind of nonsense background investigation is that!” Madam Jewel questioned, looking at her son with disdain.

“Well, he did his job, but no one in the country seems to truly know who Elijah is… except it’s related to Melina or rumors about him and Peach. He has no work history, no family or friends, and he doesn’t seem to even go to school or college…” Dean said, trying to figure out how else to explain the situation.

When Madam Jewel suddenly slapped the chair arm, rage glowing on her face, Dean jumped from the couch, backing away as far as he could get while still sitting on it.

“How could you allow your daughter to bring such a disappointment and useless man into our family and attach himself to our good name and reputation. How am I supposed to drag a man that is practically a ghost down and teach him a lesson?!” Madam Jewel shouted in a fate of rage. “Sorry, mother!” Dean said, adjusting himself in his seat.

“Right now, the public‘s eyes are on Elijah too much, so I can not make any wrong move that could jeopardize our family reputation… So… put a spy on him.” Madam Jewel said, snapping her brows together as she glared at her son.

Seeing how angry and disappointed his mother‘s expression was, Dean nodded quickly in agreement and said, “I will get one of my men to tail him and report back to me… I promise you, mother, he will get what‘s coming to him.” “It better be because I will

not tolerate getting humiliated by a street rat that crawled its way into my granddaughter‘s life and dared to act up against us.” Madam Jewel said in annoyance. “I understand, mother.” “Good,”

After a brief pause, Madam Jewel spoke once more in a calmer tone, “About Peach, alert the rest of the family to meet up here tomorrow for lunch, so I can tell them what my plans are.”

Without a hesitation, Dean nodded and said, “I will have that done right away, mother.” When Elijah brought the car to a stop in front of the motel, he stepped on the brake and
