Even though Matt's words were firm enough, one look for Elijah made him know that his boss was about to do something stupid and reckless. “This guy is right... Zac always carries a gun, and your skin is not bulletproof, so you need to listen to your man.” Lex said, frowning at Elijah. Reading the faces of the men around him, Elijah knew that none of them was going to side with him on this one, and he paced back and forth for a while, his mind racing and thinking of every single idea possible. The more he thought, the angrier he became, and then the storm rising in him simply ceased. “We need to make sure Dr. William's great-grandson does not reach that mansion,” Elijah stated firmly as he turned to look at all of them. “We need to get the boy and use him to our advantage.” “We can get the kids for you, but it's going to cost you,” Teddy said, testing the water to see if Elijah's desperation will make him pay more. “Get the kid, and I will pay four times what Texan offered yo

Even though the question was running about in Elijah's head to ask the doctor, when he saw the nervous look on his face, he hesitated, and then said nothing.After a long pause, the doctor sighed, picked up the fork with the knife, and started cutting the roast beef, not daring to look at anyone else.“That’s all we are going to get?” Teddy mumbled, breaking the silence and causing the room to fall completely quiet again before he added, “I mean, that's criminal to just leave the story at such an interesting part.”Sighing, Mr. Williams lowered the knife but kept his gaze focused on the food as he spoke in a low voice. “There isn’t… if I tell you more, it would only end in disaster.”However, when he finally raised his gaze to meet Elijah's eyes, he looked remorseful and then asked, “Would you like to have dinner with my family, at our place, after all this is over?” “Yes,” Elijah agreed in a quiet tone and glanced over at his men.The gate of the Williams mansion opened and police c

Silently, Elijah studied Dr. William's face for any sign of lying, which he never found in the doctor's expression. Finally, Elijah leaned forward and said, “Let me get this clear, so none of the seven is his?”“Yes. Hayes fathered none of Jewel's children.” Dr. William replied.There was a long pause as Elijah tried to force his brain to come to terms with that fact and then he scoffed in disbelief, shocked about how much Madam Jewel had gotten away with.“Do you have a copy of the results?” Elijah finally asked after collecting his thoughts.Dr. Williams's face fell, remorse and guilt evident as he whispered, “No… I gave Hayes those because he requested them the day Meeks visited him at the hospital... The copies were all destroyed after his death… Jewel said that if anything about the results come out in any way, I and my children would be dead, so I had to do what I had to do to protect their life...”After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, “If Meeks didn’t get killed,

The sight of Jessica made Elijah frown slightly, but when their eyes locked, he immediately turned his focus back on Sen. Butcher who was now shaking hands with Bryan. “Happy birthday, Mr. Butcher. It's always my pleasure getting an invitation to your birthday celebrations each year.” Bryan said with a faint grin as he let go of the old man's hand. Returning a small smile, Mr. Butcher then darted his eyes on Elijah, mumbling, “Not a lady tonight... you have upgraded your plus one to someone way more intriguing.” “Happy birthday Congressman Butcher. It's my honor to be here to celebrate your big sixty...” Elijah humbly replied, but the look in his eyes was still piercing even though he tried not to show it. His gaze softened slightly when he saw the calm smile Mr. Butcher had sent him which was enough to put Elijah's heart at ease and to make him grin at the old man. “Isabella, come here, please.” Mr. Butcher instructed, looking back at a young beauty, pointing to the young woman

Struggling against his anger, Elijah drew a deep breath, knowing he had to stall for a moment, and said, “So these two are the ones paying you to do-”“Hahaha! Nah… Take a wild guess.” Tony mocked, and at that moment, his ringtone interrupted.Slowly, he took out his phone and answered in a pompous tone, “Yes, Sir. We have him, and are detaining him.”Then he pressed the speaker button, letting everyone listen to Mr. Butcher said, “Since that's the case, there's no need to call Bamford then. Detained him in the basement with his man and called Dr. Lethal to take a look at Jessica.”“Umm... She might need to go to the hospital, Sir.” Tony nervously mentioned, looking back at Jessica's bloody nostrils.“Tony... Get someone to take her to a damn hospital or something. Today is my birthday, and I wouldn't let such a scandal get tied to my reputation with all that is already happening... I will explain things to her father later, and we can get that piece of shit handled for his insolence.
