The Marvelous Elijah's Return のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

The sound of chitchats and laughter of a bunch of old ladies' voices echoed in Elijah's ears as he watched from a distance his mother hugging Peach's arm with a big smile on her face as she introduced Peach to Madam Elle and the other ladies in her book club.“Your daughter-in-law is very pretty, Lisa.” A classic dressed old lady spoke up with her soft eyes on Peach.“Your son is quite a lucky man.” Madam Elle added. “She’s such a darling.”Seeing all the attention go on Peach and Mrs. Maxwell, Elle pouted at the thought that their afternoon Tea and books event was taking place at the Maxwell mansion because all the women voted so because they wanted to see Peach.“Can we read the next book already?.. Because after this, I have to go visit my grandkids.” Elle whined.And then she looked over at Mrs. Maxwell and asked, “When is your son going to put a bun in the oven? They seemed to have been together for quite a while now, according to you.”Nervously looking over to Elijah, Peach met

“Elijah Maxwell is back in the country. The thirty-one years old, Third-generation billionaire was cornered by the paparazzi this morning at nine o'clock at Syldavia national airport with his bodyguards...” The news lady said, and Madam Jewel scowled at the television. Then she threw a glare at Eli, who was sitting a couple of distance from her in the next chair as they listened, “The heir of the Maxwell family refused to answer questions about his wife, the young granddaughter of Mr. Hayes, but he did say that his reasons for returning to the country are to attend to business-related matters...” “Your father is useless!” Madam Jewel hissed under her breath, which made Eli eyed her, “How hard is it to kill two people... Just two! Each day I wake up, knowing that Peach and Elijah are still breathing the same air as me after everything they have done to our family… it is infuriating!” When Eli didn't say anything, that only made her even more enraged and she lashed out, “Elijah is ba

The moment Melina stepped out of her car, a swamp of reporters came for her with their camera crews.There were at least twenty different journalists with microphones and cameras all clamoring to talk to her. She tried to keep them away from her by holding up her hands in a placating gesture, but her efforts went unappreciated as she was surrounded immediately on all sides. “Melina! Have you watched your Ex-husband's interview with Thomas Jefferson from the Point Media about your infidelities within the years of your marriage?” A journalist asked.Then another reporter soon cut in, pushing his mic into Melina’s face, saying “Is it true you manipulated the media and used your influence to shift the blame on him when in fact you were the one who cheated and abandoned him?”“I never cheated and never abandoned my husband… Imean ex-husband!” Melina shouted, struggling to push past the reporters.But they weren’t budging. They just kept coming forward and shouting questions like, “What do

As her eyelids widened, Miss Grace couldn't bear to watch the video anymore, and she dropped her phone on the table, not having an appetite to touch her food, and then said, “Elijah would never… never do something this gross! This has Jewel's handwriting all over it.” Slapping his hand on the table, Mr. Maxwell's face went cold as he screamed, “I can't believe Jewel and her children are still doing shit like this!” “This old lady is mentally ill,” Mrs. Maxwell mumbled, completely in awe of what she was staring at. “My son would never do something this brutal and unkind to a woman so helpless as that.” The dining room went quiet and then a sense of worry suddenly hit Mr. Maxwell, and he said, “Can someone check on Peach? She hasn't come down yet, and I am sure that she has seen the videos.” Immediately, both Miss Grace and Mrs. Maxwell stood from their seats, and they smiled at each other's sudden response before leaving the dining room and heading upstairs, Miss Grace with quick,

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 stan
