The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

Is that a threat 

The calınness in Elijah’s expression never left his face as Josh met his eyes with a look of madness in his gaze and took a step toward him and Peach. 

Before Madam Jewel could say anything else to Josh, Matt walked in between Josh and Elijah as he tried to roam over to them. 

“I will fuck you up if you don’t take a step back now!” Matt threatened while pointing to Josh, his voice low and serious as his hand clenched into a fist. “You should know who to mess with, but I will urge you once, ‘it’s not him.” 

A sense of fear shot through Josh as the warning bell sounded in his brain as he backed off a few feet. 

However, it didn’t last long as he sneered and said, “You are just an employee here! How dare you meddle with my business, you asshole! You don’t want to mess with me and if you keep interfering with this, you will regret it… so back off.” 

Frowning at her nephew-in-law, Miss Grace shook her head and said, “Matt is not an employee. He’s a client and a customer at this motel. So I will advise you Josh to stop harassing my guests.”

We are not finished!! I will remind you where you belong, you bastard!! In the dust ..! I will drag you… So watch your back!” Intentionally, a yawn escaped from Elijah’s mouth as he rubbed his eyes with his hands, noticing how scared Josh was to advance toward him because of Matt, Elijah knew that he was all talk, no action… on his own. 

Seeing that Elijah did so, anger quickly flared up inside of Josh, and the feeling he had been holding on finally exploded. 

It was so hard to suppress the urge to punch Elijah square in the face, but his eyes subconsciously rested on Matt’s veins bulging as he clenched his fists even tighter as his nostrils flared, 

Taking in a sharp breath through his nose, Josh forced himself to take a few steps back as he said, “You little prick, you’re getting on my nerves.” “Josh!” Madam Jewel yelled worriedly as she saw the pure rage on his face as he stared at Elijah. 

Abitter laugh slipped from Josh’s lips as he nodded his head and then scoffed before turning
