The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 167

Chapter 167

An eye for an eye What Elijah said made the angry mob start eyeing each other nervously, knowing that they all just got paid to be there.

“Is he threatening the journalist?” A protestor mumbled.

“I think he‘s talking to us.” Another protestor whispered. “And what he said makes sense. Why should we accept peanuts from Amelia Hayes when he can offer us a bigger bag of peanuts?”

The ones around him that heard his remarks started nodding in agreement as they began forming small groups to discuss amongst themselves, forgetting to chant.

Seeing their reactions, Elijah smirked, knowing that the hint in his message was getting picked up by the right people, even though at that moment, he heard one of the reporter‘s whisper, “How arrogant of him to say something so insensitive… Bragging is not going to help his case at all.”

After those words, Elijah turned away from the news Lady and walked off, getting into his car.

When he looked outside the window, the once–angry mob that was chanting insults was now standing there, silently looking confused.

When a nurse entered her room, Madam Jewel put on a sweet smile and so did Amelia. “How are you feeling today, Mrs. Hayes.” The nurse asked.

Madam Jewel laughed softly before replying, “A bit better than yesterday.”

The was a prolonged pause after those words, and then the nurse laughed, saying, “It‘s funny how some people‘s true characters don‘t show until they are caught in an awful act.”

Immediately, Madam Jewel‘s face went cold along with her daughter, and then she forced a smile asking, “What do you mean?”

“Oh, it‘s your son–in–law….” The nurse said, “The reporter asked him, ‘what do you say to the accusation circling on the Internet–”

“What did he say?!” Amelia blurted out.

A laugh escaped the nurse‘s lips as she said, “I‘m not even trying to be extra. These are his exact words, ‘I am the sole heir to my father‘s multiple companies, each of them worth billions of dollars… I have shares in companies that bring me billionaires in dividends… My wives own two of the growing companies in Syldavia… Are you sure you want to be on the opposite side of me?

… Like we get it. You are rich and corrupt.”

Another dry chuckle echoed from the nurse‘s lips as she focused on the IV line, saying, “He‘s so boastful. After doing something so horrible–”

“Shut up and get out!!” Madam Jewel yelled. She immediately regretted her outburst as soon as she saw the nurse flinch. When she realized that the nurse had gone silent, she immediately said, “I‘m sorry… But please, get out.”

“Yes ma‘am.” The nurse whispered before leaving the room.

Once the door closed, Amelia let out an audible breath before turning back to her mother and saying, “You think someone is going to betray us because of Elijah stupid speech?”
