The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Bullet

Of all the months and days Elijah had been sitting in the courtroom for, today, he felt more nervous and impatient than he had ever felt before.

His fingers drummed against his leg and he bit his lip nervously as he looked around the room while they waited on the reading of the verdict.

For the most part, his nervousness was due to leaving Peach when she was now eight pregnant, and he just wanted this entire trial to be over so he can go back to her.

“We all have sat in this courtroom for days, listening to witnesses and going through the pieces of evidence presented by both the defense team and the prosecution. After hours of deliberation by the jury, the verdict is in.” The judge announced, darting her gaze from Ryan and Elijah to Jewel.

A slight look of disgust passed over the judge‘s face when she locked eyes with Jewel and then declared, “The jury has found you, Jewel Hayes guilty on all accounts and not mentally deranged… For first–degree murder, conspiracy to commit second–degree murder, fraudulent pretenses, fraudulently obtained money and

properties, and fraudulently used false identification and documents and all charges will stand.”

Sitting at the back with his hands stuck in a jacket pocket, Dean stared at the police officer that allowed him to walk through the courthouse back door without searching him for weapons, and then he glared back at Elijah.

“Mrs. Jewel Hayes, for your crimes you will be facing life in prison without the possibility of parole.” The judge said.

Beaming in excitement, Ryan looked over at Elijah as he

whispered, “We got her! Finally, we did it!”

With a smile, Elijah patted Ryan on the back and then said, “This was all you, man… Thank you.” A scream crawled from Madam Jewel‘s throat after hearing the Judge‘s verdict, and immediately, a couple of officers rushed to pin her down in her chair as she tried to rush out of it.

“Elijah! You arrogant lying bastard!!” Jewel yelled, fighting against their hold on her until one of them slapped a handcuff on her wrists. “You ruined my life! You messed up my children‘s lives!! Are you happy now?! Are you satisfied with destroying the lives of innocent people?! What did we ever do to you?!”

Stunned, Elijah just sat there, watching the officers take her out of the room as she fought against them.

“Wow… What did they ever do to you?” Ryan mumbled in disbelief. “You can write an entire book from your experience with that mad woman and her child. I bet it will make millions from sales.”

“An autobiography about just my encounters with the Hayes… Umm, it doesn‘t sound like a bad idea.” Elijah slightly laughed.

Since Jewel was out of the room, peace rained again, and the Judge later left the courtroom after the jury had gone, and it was just Elijah, Matt, Ryan, Bryan, Dean, and other court staff in the room. After Bryan had reached Elijah, he pulled him into a hug, saying, “ You did it, man… You won!”

Then he pulled away from Elijah, looked back at Dean, and asked,” Are you going to do something about him?”
