An Arrest As her eyelids widened, Miss Grace couldn‘t bear to watch the video anymore, and she dropped her phone on the table, not having an appetite to touch her food, and then said, “Elijah would never… never do something this gross! This has Jewel‘s handwriting all over it.”

Slapping his hand on the table, Mr. Maxwell‘s face went cold as he screamed, “I can‘t believe Jewel and her children are still doing shit like this!” “This old lady is mentally ill,” Mrs. Maxwell mumbled, completely in awe of what she was staring at. “My son would never do something this brutal and unkind to a woman so helpless as that.”

The dining room went quiet and then a sense of worry suddenly hit Mr. Maxwell, and he said, “Can someone check on Peach? She hasn‘t come down yet, and I am sure that she has seen the videos.”

Immediately, both Miss Grace and Mrs. Maxwell stood from their seats, and they smiled at each other‘s sudden response before leaving the dining room and heading upstairs, Miss Grace with quick, determined steps.

As they approached the second–floor hallway, they could hear Peach‘s angry voice coming from inside. “I just know that it‘s Melina… Or Jewel… And I can‘t believe that that old witch is trying to play you at your own game. You

put out the truth to the media, and then she went and made these disgusting videos and used an illegal site to post it up!” Peach lashed out, pacing back and forth with the phone in her hand.

Her breathing was becoming shallow, and Elijah started to grow worried as he mumbled, “Babe, breathe.” “I am breathing, Elijah! I am just pissed! Her granddaughter made such a bizarre accusation against you a couple of days ago, and now, they want to make it seem like she was speaking the truth!” Peach threw her hands up in the air in exasperation. “Babe,”

“What?!!”

Looking at the way he raised his brow in the video call, Peach hesitated, and then she frowned as he softly said, “In, and then out.” After a second of reluctance, she sighed, drew a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, repeating several times on his cue as he said, “Go on.”

After a moment, Elijah smiled slightly and then he asked, “Do you feel better now?”

“No!! Of course, I don‘t!!” Peach cried, her hormones still running high from what she felt. “I hate those people so much for what they are doing to you!!”

Suddenly, her room door opened and her mother alongside her mother–in–law both entered, smiling at her even though she looked super pissed.

“You two watch those absurd videos, right?!… How far is Jewel willing to go… Doesn‘t she know when to stop?!” Peach lashed out.

Seeing his mother and mother–in–law in the video call, Elijah greeted them, and then asked, “Can you please help me calm her down? I am going to handle things on this end. But I can‘t focus if she keeps exploding like this.”

“Don‘t worry. We will take care of her. Go and do what needs to be done to stop that mad woman, son.” Miss Grace said as Mrs. Maxwell wrapped her hand around Peach‘s shoulder, making her go back to her breathing exercise.

“Thanks, guys,” Elijah uttered calmly.

Then he met his wife‘s eyes, his face hardened all of a sudden as he said, “I promise you that I am going to fix this. You trust me right?” “Yes,” Peach whispered.

Then keep trusting me, and stop stressing yourself. I
