A forced smile tugged on Madam Jewel’s lip as she gazed at Elijah, but he was too focused on the photos that Scorpio was sending him. “Elijah,” Madam Jewel called out, watching her tone. Playing deaf to her, Elijah kept his gaze on his screen, and that had her frowning slightly. “Elijah, how is Peach?” Madam Jewel asked once again, trying for a more friendly tone as she tried to figure out what was going on. Immediately, Elijah's grip tightened on his phone, his gaze froze for a while before he sighed and turned off his screen, shoving the device back into his pocket before glaring up at her, annoyed at her hypocrisy. “You should know how she is doing,” Elijah calmly uttered as he stood from the couch. A nervous look passed over Madam Jewel's face, but before she could speak out, Mr. Bamford cut in, “Is Mrs. Darius at the company?” “No,” Elijah answered a bit stiffly, meeting Madam Jewel's eyes with a dark stare. “She’s at home… feeling a bit under the weather.” Taking his gaz

The sound of the door opening drew Peach’s attention, and she held her breath as she stared at Jacob entering the room, and immediately, she noticed the blood on his knuckles, causing her heart to clench in worry.“Get up, and don't say a word, or else I will hurt you, and your husband has my hand tied from doing that, so don't dare push my buttons,” Jacob growled, and with a sigh.Even though she was hesitant, Peach slowly stood from her seat and sealed her lips, although she wanted to ask for her ring. “Walk,” Jacob commanded, and he grabbed her wrist tightly, making her gasp slightly as he led her out of the room.All his men had this disappointed look on their faces as he led her down the corridor, and Peach dared not look at any of them as she obediently followed him.When they reached a black ford pickup, he opened the front door, enraged at his cord and hating every moment of the shift in the game and obeying Elijah.“Get in,” Jacob uttered, finally letting go of her wrist.Po

The bartender flinched when Jacob suddenly slapped the counter, clearly wasted, and shouted, "Give me one more shot?!" "Who's paying for all the first seven rolls that you and those guys drank?" The bartender asked, eyeing Jacob warily. A snarl crossed Jacob's face before he took Peach's ring from his pocket, pushed it towards the bartender's face, and said, "Do you see these stones... real diamonds... worth millions of dollars... I need to get it off my hands soon... I got a buyer already though, and they are supposed to meet me here... so don't worry your head about if I can pay you. Just make me another damn drink.”Not trusting the sketchiness of Jacob's words, or what they seemed to imply, the bartender frowned slightly and said, “I will need a credit card or cash... not some ring. Do you have those just in case your buyer doesn't show up?” “Of course he does... But there will be no need for that... his buyer is here.” A guy with long black hair pulled into a ponytail came up

The door to the hospital opened, and Elijah stepped into the lobby with Rick, both men headed down to the receptionist’s desk and smiled softly at her. “How may I help you, sir?” She said after looking up to meet their friendly expression.“I research that you guys carry out DNA tests here.” Elijah said politely. “Is that true?”The woman nodded and started typing on a keyboard. It took a few seconds, but the lady was apparently done. She looked up from it and stood from her desk, “Yes... Why?”“My father wants me to do a DNA test to make sure my two sisters are his,” Elijah explained, still smiling gently.Shocked at the family tea he just spilled, the nurse gave a nervous smile and said, “I see. Please follow me this way, sir.”“Thanks,” Elijah said as she left from behind the desk. Quietly, she led him back down a hallway, passing more doors before stopping by the one marked, “Dr. Dolan.”Then she gave a gentle knock on the door before pushing it open. A middle-aged woman sat at

When Elijah raised his gaze, he was immediately alarmed to see Dean in the lobby, going into a protective mood as he slightly pulled Peach behind him, but then he noticed on his right his men and on the left more of them, keeping their eyes on Dean.Noticing the sudden casual look on Elijah's face made Dean enraged to the core, and he tried to turn to rush for Elijah, but the security guards grabbed him by the arms, pulling him towards the front door.“Elijah, you bastard!” Dean growled, trying to fight the security's hold.A few people immediately turned to him when they heard him shouting, and a woman muttered, “Isn’t that Dean Hayes?... That's him! Wow, what an embarrassing situation that must be.”“These days, it seems like the Hayes names are trending, but in a negative light. Elmer is in prison... I heard a rumor that Iris and Josh are now divorced and her father pulled out his investment in Josh's company, and now, Dean has been embarrassed in the public eye. What is wrong wit
