his broad chest, deep into his thoughts, his fingers traced down the edge of the button and pushed it

through the hole For silent minute, le stared at his reflection, the three-piece black suit, shirt, and silk tie

living him an elegant aura, and mumbled, “Let’s do this.”

The lobbyhus tense energy surrounding it as Matt waited for Elijah and Peach along with Rookie, Ryan,

and Jalles,

“Keep in eye on himl. Please.” Jamnes finally broke the silence, eyeing Matt.

Looking back at James with a humble noc, Matt replied, “Will do.”

Thien silence took over as the sound of footsteps approached them, and everyone tensed immediately

as Elijah walked into the lobby

For a moment, he shared at Matt’s black dress shirt with cold lapel pin, and then the sound of Jheel

slowly hitting the files of his attention

When Elijah turned around, his g.uze rested softly on Peach in a long, dark black dress that hueced her

curves perfectly. Her hair was tied loosely in a high ponytail, ew loose strands Waling over her shoulders,

and the light makeup accentuated lier natural beauty

“Ready” Elijah murmured, unable to help himself from smiling tenderly at her

“As ready as I’ll ever be,” Peach answered with a slight smirk as she slipped her hand into his The grand

hall of the Hayes mansion was packed with guests, all dressed elegantly in black ind gold to meet the

Elijah walking into the hall with Peachi, hugcing onto his arm, and Mati beside liim

“She’s here,” Cora Hayes whispered to her sister.

“Gosh, Melina, does your cousin have no shame.” Jessica whispered under her breath, scowling at Elijal.

“Aliending such a sensitive party with your ex husband. Damn, that’s low

looked down at the champagne in her glass and drank the rest in one pulp

At that moment, Elijah made eye contact with Melina, but his gaze with empty of emotions

he quickly averted his attention away from her

“That lowlife bastard. Is this his way of humiliating me by showing up in my face withi Peach!’ Melina

seethed, trying to restrain herself from exploding and saying something that would make Madam Jewel

his gaze to Peach and Elijah, his eyes glowing with rape as he mumbled, “THIS underdog doesn’t know

how to lay low, huh?”

“Why would she bring him to such a high class event. Even Melina knew to leave hlı liome when she

would attend such occasions wtien they were inarried. ” Emma muttered, claring at Peach as if looking at

Madam Jewel, and said, “You don’t know how wrong you are, boy.”

Sighing heavily, Mathew Hayes withdrew lus wine glass from his lips and said, “I can’t believe Morlier is

doing this. I have a bad feeling about the whole thing this is going to get messy”

His wife, Evelyn Hayes gave him a weak smile and shook her head slightly, and mumbled,” The fact thal

“Shut up. Evelyn! Do you not have a grip on your mouth to low what to say and what not to Sly!!”

“What is it… grandinother?” Peach asked nervously, turning slightly to glance at Elijah, whose expression

was filled with concern.
