Chapter 585
Only now did Manager Rufus get a proper view of the restaurant around him. The noise had died completely, not by any magic, but because every person in the room was now looking in their direction. Customers mid-meal and waiters who were supposed to be moving between tables all stared with their jaws dropped and eyes wide open.This was Manager Rufus. The man feared by all for his ruthlessness, particularly from his days as manager of Dinner N Dine. Anyone who came to his restaurants always had to be on their best behavior. How could they not be frozen by the sight before their eyes?“To your feet,” Elijah repeated, colder than the first time.Manager Rufus scrambled upright, almost falling back as he started to speak again. “We really owe them nothing, Young Master. If you want—”Elijah silenced him with a raised hand. “Everything you told Ms. DiLaurentis is true? They both left here with the money after the woman finished eating?”“

Serena DiLaurentis’ BMW came to a stop at the popular West Crest Restaurant in the West District.She stepped out with Elijah, who looked around in confusion, trying to understand where they were.During the drive over, he had tried to get her to tell him where they were going, but she had kept her attention on the road the entire way without a word. Since she seemed to have a lead on her father’s disappearance, he could only follow quietly behind her.They entered the luxurious restaurant together, and the chime of the doorbell announced their arrival as they walked in. The restaurant was packed and busy at that hour. Several waiters in uniform moved between tables under the sharp ordering voice of a chubby man who was keeping every worker on their toes.Manager Rufus.The moment his eyes landed on the approaching couple, his body shivered, and he almost lost his footing. It had nothing to do with the young miss of the DiLaurentis family

Elijah stepped into Serena’s office and found her just setting down the landline after a call.“Hey, Wifey. Did you miss me?” He grinned slightly as he approached her desk.A distant expression sat on Serena’s face, but it shifted as her eyes locked onto him and moved slowly from his face downward.“What happened to your hair?”He wasn’t really caught off guard by the question. Anyone who had seen him up close lately would notice it. The length was noticeably longer than it normally was.He smiled brightly, wearing the expression of a man who had just won a lottery. “Wifey, there’s this special medical ointment. It can restore hair, renew the skin, and make a person look younger. My face is even more handsome than before. I might just be the most handsome man in all of Sorevia right now.” He winked.His wife’s expression was already getting colder.Funny enough, he was telling the complete truth. That morning, a single drop of the ointment during his shower had been enough to reverse

Later that hot afternoon, Elijah Langston arrived at the DiLaurentis Medical Center in the Old Central District.He looked nothing like he had that morning. He was in his regular clean casual outfit and a pair of old sneakers. The state of his face and the other exposed parts of his skin was the most striking thing about him. They were completely healed. Not a single trace of the burns or wounds from the night before remained, not even the faintest mark where the damage had been worst.Anyone who had seen what he looked like that morning would have been shaken to their toes by the transformation. Even the parts of his hair that had been burnt had restored themselves, leaving his hair sitting slightly longer than usual.He reached the top floor of the building to find Secretary Lisa fully absorbed in whatever was playing on her phone. Her head was down, and her mind was completely elsewhere. Only when he reached the CEO’s door did she look up.Her expression turned cold immediately, a

Elijah groaned as he lifted Tessa’s body onto the bed, not from her weight, but from the weight of what had just dawned on him.The threshold protection curse on that door had always been meant for those who would try to intrude upon the sacred mansion of the forgotten Langstons. The Wexlers, above anyone else. It had never been meant for someone close to him. Better put, he had never expected a visit from an ally.But this was different. He had never told Tessa about the curse. And he had not been conscious last night to warn her against entering.The curse kept intruders outside the mansion. Once struck, a person would begin to rot slowly from the inside out. The organs would deteriorate one after another, and the curse would spread outward to the surface as it progressed. Without a cure, death came within a few days. Staying inside the domain of the curse after being struck made it move faster than leaving immediately would have.She was not supposed to have made it this far into

The silence that followed was absolute.Even Grace turned to look at her grandmother with an expression she almost never wore in the presence of the family.Eleanor spoke without looking at any of them directly. “I understand this is a sum that will shake the company, particularly now when we are already trying to stabilize everything. But there has never been a significant victory without a willingness to accept significant risk.” She let that settle. “If we had not been willing to take that kind of risk fifteen years ago, we would not be standing at the height we are standing at now. It is time for another calculated move. And the Stonewells are already making theirs.”Grace leaned slightly toward her and spoke low enough that only Eleanor would hear. “Mother, what is this about?”The people around the table knew their matriarch. She did not accept outcomes without a fight. She had never once in her life surrendered ground without fighting. Whatever was behind this decision had not
