The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 124

One step closer to the truth The moment Madam Jewel walked into the living room, her sons and grandsons were all waiting on herwith mad eyes and scowls.

“Where did you go?” Dean asked first.

“We have been waiting for hours now. “Also, why did you lie to Mr.

Bamford, huh? It's almost night time and our wives, sisters, and aunts are not back home yet!” Josh lashed out, not evenholding back his anger.

I want to respect you mother, but Evelyn might be in danger, and I think I can’t continue honoring your decision to stay silent about this!” Mathewchimed in from the other side of the room.

A snarl left Tyson's lips as he stood up from the couch and said, “I don’t know what we are still doing here,instead of getting people out there to search- “Elijah has them!” Madam Jewel shouted, causing silence to fall into the room.

None of them spoke after that.

Instead, they looked at her with questioning looks on their faces.

“You said Elijah has who?” Mathew finally questioned.

A sigh came out from Madam Jewel as she sat down in a chair and rubbed her temples.

“I kidnapped Peach with the help of Melina and Jacob...” She confessed, looking at the ground.

“...It was to pursue Elijah to free Elmer. Frowning, Tommy let out a frustrated groan and yelled, “You are still in touchwith that lunatic?! Why would you do something that risky?! What if Elijah finds out the truth about who Jacob is?! He will just be one step closer to the truth!” “And also, you got my daughter involved in such a dangerous situation! Dean yelled, glaring at his mother.

Ignoring his brother's outburst, Eli spoke up and tried to keep his tone calm.“ How did Elijah get a hold ofevery woman in our family?” That question brought silence to the room again.

Slowly, everyone turned to look at Madam Jewel, and when she felt their eyes on her, shecalmly raised her head and locked eyes with each of her sons and grandsons.

Then with her head hung low, she answered their questions in a soft voice, “I don’t know.

But I have returned Peach to him, and he promised to release everyone back to us…” “He promised…” Josh laughed, rage and disbelief clearin his voice.

“He has crossed the damn line with this shit that he has done!” “Josh is right.

If he's bold enough to kidnap our women and girls...
