The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 76

What is Elijah doing?

The atmosphere at the conference table immediately grew intense as Mathew, Dean, Tommy, Eli, Elmer, Cora, and Amelia sat at the table the moment Dean uttered, “Mother has confirmed that Peach is hell bent on marrying Elijah.”

“‘This is all your daughter’s fault,” Elmer mumbled underneath his breath, rubbing his temple

in frustration.

“What did you say?!”

“It’s Melina’s fault for bringing that damn bastard into our lives… If she didn’t bet on his ass, Peach and her mother would have still known their place beneath us, Tommy would have eventually driven those two out of the motel, and I wouldn’t be losing my company to those two. Damnit!”

As Dean moved his lips to speak, his phone started ringing, causing him to pull it out of his pocket. When he noticed who was calling, he answered, mumbling, “Mason,”

“Who is Melina’s ex-husband?!” Mason’s voice boomed from the other side of the line, sounding furious.

“Elijah? Why are you asking about him?”

“Who is he, Dean?!”

A frown crept across Dean’s face when he heard Mason’s raised tone and then he sighed, “Are you drunk, Mason?”

“No!! I am frustrated. But I am also curious about who the heck your daughter got married and divorced to!!” Mason’s tone became even more enraged, which caused Dean’s eyebrows to furrow, and his grip on his phone tightened slightly.

Not wanting to bear the embarrassment of not knowing a damn thing about his ex-son-in law, Dean dodged the question with a, “Calm down, Mason… Why are you making an issue out of some bum?!”

Everyone around the table’s attention was now fully focused on Dean, wanting to know who was the other person on the call.

“A bum!! A bum!! Okay, then tell me why the hell is that bum meeting up with Bryan Checks, and I just lost a million of dollars deal with Check because of him…” Mason’s voice started to rise with each word.

“Mason, please… I don’t know what the hell you are talking about.” Dean tried to convince him, but it wasn’t going too well.

“Tell me, Dean! Who is this guy?!”

“Calm yourself, Mason.”
