The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 89

Phone the police now

As the security guards approached Elijah and the others, Ryan calmly took out a file from his briefcase and looked back at Elmer and the investors.

“Well, I am a lawyer with a couple of degrees, including A Doctor of Juridical Science degree, and this is a valid will that both Mr. Hayes and the law enforcement officials‘ signatures are on, which proves everything that Peach has told you guys, that this company is now under her management,” Ryan explained calmly, taking out the document and showing it to the investors.

“I have worked with Meeks before, and that is definitely his signature on this paper. He‘s a man of honor, and so am I,” Mr. Walker immediately stated, glaring at Elmer.

The security reached the scene but immediately stopped out of confusion, seeing that no one was attacking Elmer and just stood there looking at each other.

“It could be a fraud! Who knows...” Elmer answered, shrugging nonchalantly.

“But we do know. You just blurted out that you thought the will got destroyed along with the motel, yet now you are telling us it‘s a fraud will? What sense are you trying to make here, Elmer?!” Mr. Walker snapped, getting increasingly more irritated and angry at him.

Scowling as a sense of desperation began to arise within Elmer, he ran his hands through his hair, gritted his teeth, and let out, “You don‘t know what goes on with the Hayes behind closed doors, you don‘t understand what I know. I know them better than anyone in this place and trust me, Peach and Elijah are trouble... they have been that for our family from day one!”

“Hold up!” Mr. Gordan exclaimed, his eyebrows knitted into a confused frown, “My wife was telling me something about the night of Mr. Hayes‘s death anniversary that I couldn‘t attend because of work...”

Immediately, a look of horror crossed Elmer‘s face, knowing that he just got caught in his own lies, and he swallowed dryly.

“You know women... They gossip a lot to their husbands, so it‘s not strange that I just remember this now, but she said Madam Jewel suddenly give her exiled step–granddaughter a company, saying it was in Mr. Hayes‘ will with an ultimatum to be married before she can claim it!”

His voice was loud, sounding almost triumphant like he was excited to remember his wife‘s words since she nagged him often about not listening to her.

Immediately, his remark brought tension and whispers within the lobby since most employees knew of this already, and it was a rumor that traveled like wildfire through the company, but except you are above the Hayes, you don‘t dare speak against them in the open.

“Elijah?” Mr. Gordan said, looking directly into his eyes. “My wife said a lot of things about you that night.”
