Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 113 – A Secret
Watching the glass of champagne pop open, Madam Jewel raised her brow, staring at a silver fox,
standing in front of her, pouring it into two glasses. “I don’t have time to drink, Jacob… My son is locked
up, and there is this arrogant, annoying sc***bag who now, somehow knows about Harris’s will!!”
Madam Jewel complained, her face turning red as she continued to rant, her voice getting louder and
more agitated with each word that escaped her mouth
Raising a brow, Jacob sighed, taking a seat on the couch next to her, resting his hand on the old
woman’s shoulder, trying to calm her down as he said, “Elijah knows about Harris’ will? Jewel…”
“I don’t think he knows the content within it, or else that greedy ba***rd will use whatever might he has
suddenly gained to come for us…” Jewel spat out, angrily, “Remind me why Peach is not dead yet?”
“Harris found out the truth while on his sick bed.
And in his messed up head, he used all his international power to put a protective barrier around her,
knowing that after what he did, I was going for her too…”
“Hmm,” “I have been using the loopholes in his command for years, but if she dies and words get out, I
have dug my own grave.”
The sound of nature echoing around the balcony took over the conversation for a while before Jacob
asked, “And this Elijah guy?”
1 know nothing real about that fool, and what we have on him are just guesses which have no solid
proof… He’s making a fool of my family… and just like that we have lost control…” Madam Jewel
explained, finally reaching for her glass.
“He has the element of surprise, Jewel, which is a powerful tool… Take that from him and you get
yourself a fair game.”
“How? “Well, he doesn’t seem to be as stupid as everyone says he is… You see, he is manipulating
people by pretending to be this useless boy… To defend your enemy. you have to unmask them, and
this Elijah guy has you all figured out, but it’s not the same for you towards him.”

mumbling. “What do you mean by that?”
“Even the battlefield… He has Elmer in his grip, I can help you to get a chess piece to use and bargain
with him in exchange for your son’s freedom.” Jacob said with a c**y grin on his face, as he took a sip
from his wine glass.
Looking at him, Madam Jewel raised a brow at his suggestion and then asked, “What is this chess
piece?”
“The queen… Your step-granddaughter.” Jacob sald, smwing slyly. A King will bargain his soul with the
devil for the woman that owns his heart…”
“I told you that she can’t die.”
“No one is talking about cutting off Peach’s light… We can use her to get information about her
husband and also, bargain her safe return for Elmer’s release.”
Who il Peach doesn’t own his heart. After all, he was just with Melina a few months ago” An unreadable
expression appeared on Jacob’s lace for a moment as he stared at the old woman, thinking then he
spoke again Well, He did mess up Elmer’s face because he simply raised a hand at her so I heard
Even if Peach doesn’t have his heart, she means something to him.”
A sense of worry rose within Madam Jewel and her eyes shifted back and forth for a moment until she
spoke. With the news about Elmer in prison, a report about Peach going missing will point fingers at us,
and have the police breathing down my family neck .
Not if he wants his wife dead figuratively of course But Elijah doesn’t know that she can’t get killed
Threaten him with that and he will shut his hole and obey you” Jacob replied calmly, watching the old
woman’s reactions closely “I don’t know, Jacob
“That’s why I am going to be the one to handle it” “So many things can go wrong here” Yes But I can’t
allow your boy to go to jail So let me do this ” Silence fell belween them for a moment, both lost in their
thoughts, before Jewel spoke, “What is this going to cost me?” Picking up his glass, Jacob sipped from
it with a small smile and then replied, “For old time’s sake, Jewel This one is free, even though I am
tempted to make you pay like the old days.”
When Mr Barnford heard his office door open, he raised his gaze to see Elijah stepping in with a
friendly smile A grin to mask your evil deed from this morning.” Mr. Bamford said, with no trace of anger
in his voice A smirk formed itself on Elijahs face as he made his way to the chair and sat down, saying,
“You have 10 be specific, Chief As a law-abiding citizen, it’s hard to remember a crime that I didn’t
commit.”
“The reporters, Elijah” The chief started, still calm and composed as usual “Ohh, yes the reporters
How could I have forgotten about them? They had Elmer’s face on every Tv… If you ask me, I think the
statement, ‘walls have ears’ is truthful Have you checked with the ears within these walls of the station
before pointing a finger at me, chief?
Smart a*s
A chuckle lett Elijah’s mouth when he heard those words and he said in a jovial tone. “It takes one lo
know one, Chief”
Cracking up a bit by Elijah’s reply, Mr Bamford’s smile widened, and after a lew moments, hus
composure returned and he said, What are you doing here, boy
need to speak with Elmer. Elijah said with an innocent smile on his lips. “Is he being detained here?
Yep Why do you want to see him?”
His mother made a Iwo million dollars offer to me to drop the case, and I.”
You know if this case goes to court and Peach win, you will get way more than two million dollars.”

with his face red with rage, trying to shake off his handcuffs “I would have lucked you up pretty

The serious look on Elyah’s face did not leave his expression as he shut the door and walked over to

There’s another will, right? What your mother gives her is not the real deal”
