The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 122

He has my daughters The mere sight of the exquisite suite had Madam Jewel speechlessbecause she didn't expect Elijah to live in such a decent place.

You said that I should call, but did not answer my calls…” Madam Jewel stated, relivingthe anger and frustration she felt having to immediately chase after Elijah in her car when he didn't pick up at her first ring.

'It was a test to see how desperate you are...

and I can safely say now that you are desperate.' Elijah thought as he glared at her, knowing that hehad to exist in the same space as this woman for his wife's sake.

“Drop your bag on the table,” Elijah commanded, grabbing her attention off his place and onto him.

Even though she hated every second of being obedient to Elijah, she slowly took her bag from her shoulder, set it down on the small tablenext to the sofa, and sat down.

Your coat, take it off, Elijah ordered, his eyes never wavering from hers, knowing that she was a tricky woman.

His tone was commanding, and it felt like a needle stabbing Madam Jewel’s skin with his every wordbecause never in her life did she think that she would be bending in obedience to a man young enough to be her grandson, especially one that she believed was a no-good lowlife.

Yet, she slowly removed her hands from her pockets, took off her jacket, and placed it next to the chair asking, “What is this.” “Walk with me.” Elijah cut heroff with cold eyes.

Not caring about the harsh stare she gave him, Elijah turned on his heels and walked off to the next room, taking a seatin the kitchen.

A moment later, Madam Jewel entered after him and frowned as she sat down, the sudden silence and Elijah’s deadpan expression making fear settleinside her.

“I want my wife back, Jewel…

I have heard what you and Jacob Hartford want from me…” Elijah started and then paused when henoticed the nervous look on Madam Jewel's face.

“Melina didn't know who was behind Peach's kidnapping, so how did you…” She blurted out, gettinga hold of her tongue when she realized she had spoken too much.

A snarl appeared on Elijah's face as he clenched his jaw together, disgusted that a grandmother could be so horrible as to deliver her granddaughterinto mafia hands.

I am not going to free Elmer from prison, and I am not paying a dime.

Now, this is my proposal…

I want my wife back before tomorrow's end or else...
