Elena pushed Logan’s hand away from her protectively and her body followed, standing in front of Cornel, “Dad.”
Cornel frowned, seemingly a little unhappy with her name.
Elena squeezed her palm, “I respect you enough to call you Dad, but don’t go too far, even if there is something between Edward and I, it’s definitely not what you think!”
Cornel turned away from her sweeping gaze, “You know for sure if there is or isn’t!”
“You!”
Elena threw her hand away, “Is that all you can think about?”
“If not, why are you running away? Why won’t you just say so?” Cornel looked at her sharply.
“It’s my private business, and why must I let you know?” Moreover, she had no intention to recognize Edward at all, so how could she say the words that she was his father?
But her concealment, in Cornel’s eyes, became an excuse for her to cover up.
Elena soundlessly clenched her teeth, “Cornel, no wonder you’ve been so pathetic all your life!”
“What did you say!?”
“I said you’re pathetic!” Elena met his eyes without fear and repeated word for word, “Cornel, you’ve lived a more pathetic life than everyone I’ve ever known!”
“Elena! Who gave you the nerve to say that to me ……”
“From me.” Before he could finish his sentence, Logan had already taken up the conversation.
Cornel was angry with both of them, “Logan, are you determined to help her even if you don’t want to say half a word more to me?”
“Between me and you, there’s nothing to say.” Logan said in a cold voice.
The moment he imposed everything he thought on them, it was destined to be the end of the conversation between them ……
Elena smiled, “Cornel, see? The reason you are separated from your wife and children, it’s all because of your own making!”
Because of his selfishness, his self-righteousness, he drove everyone around him away, no one could fit into his world ……
Cornel clenched his teeth with hatred, “Elena!”
“Even if you call me, there is no use, because I have nothing in common for you either, and I know that you cannot tolerate me.”
Because of her humble origins, even the Bushs ruined her and he did not like her ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.
But he had never known her, so he was in no position to reproach her!
Elena smiled and continued, “But even if you can no longer tolerate me, I will always have only one thing to say, Logan, and I will never leave him!”
Cornel felt ridiculous and absurd as he listened to her declaration!
“Elena, do you think an impure woman like you can stay at the Browns for long?” He asked sarcastically.
Elena was not impressed, “I know in my own heart whether I am clean or not, I don’t need you to preach to me.”
“Good!” Cornel nodded, “You don’t care do you? I’m going to go to Dad right now and show him what kind of woman you really are!”
With that, he took her by the hand and headed for the main residence without a word.
Elena shook off his confinement with a chilly look on her face, “No need for you to take me away, I know the way!”
Logan held Elena’s hand slightly, “Elena ……”
Elena smiled easily, “It’s okay, doesn’t he want to pin the charges on me? Then I’ll just go and talk to him about it.”
“Don’t push yourself.” He said softly.
Elena shook her head, “No, besides, aren’t you here with me?”
As long as he was there, she wasn’t afraid.
Logan smiled easily, “Hmm.”
Cornel picked up his pace and hurried into the main courtyard and headed straight for George’s room, “Dad!”
George braced himself on his crutches and took a slow pace, “What’s all this panic about, why are you so immature?”
“Dad, I’ll be frank with you today, if Logan insists on keeping Elena at the Browns today, then I won’t stay at the Browns either!” Cornel said in a deep voice.
George narrowed his eyes dangerously, “What did Elena and Logan do to you again?”
“Edward.”
Cornel slowly spit out three words, and then said, “Dad, you should know clearly, today Edward came to the house, do not you see Edward and Elena have something between them?”
“This is their business, when is it your turn to take care of it?”
“Dad!”
Cornel was a bit depressed at George’s unsavory attitude, “How can you not understand this point, the two of them ……”
“Grandpa George is going to believe Dad’s nonsense?” Logan took Elena in stride.
Cornel snorted coldly, “Is it nonsense don’t you know?”
“Grandpa George,” Elena stepped out behind herself and glanced at George.
George’s sharp eyes became warm at this time, “Finished talking to Mr. Ford?”
Elena nodded, “Well, it’s over.”
“Dad, why are you still so calm?” Cornel couldn’t understand his calmness at the moment, “Can’t you see anything between the two of them now? I knew it as soon as I saw it, that Edward ……”
“Dad!”
Elena interrupted him sternly, “Please think clearly before you say that.”
Cornel glanced up at her, somewhat pleased with her panic at this point, “Are you scared?”
“I’m not.”
“But the look on your face tells me you’re scared now!”
Logan’s cold eyes sank, “Cornel, if you say this out loud, between you and me, father and son, that’s the end of it!”
“Are you threatening me?”
“You’re the one who forced me to say that.” Logan spelled out clearly.
Cornel was furious, “Logan, for such a woman, you even disregarded the father-son relationship between you and me for so many years? And your grandfather, are you going to stand by and watch him ……”
“You are the one who is stirring up nonsense!” Logan said in a stern voice.
“All right!”
George interrupted the bickering between the two, “After all that talk, haven’t you said enough?”
Cornel was unconvinced, “Dad, I’m not to blame for this, it’s Logan who is bent on protecting Elena.”
Elena bit her lower lip and directly ignored Cornel’s words looking at George, “Grandpa George, you and I have also gotten along, don’t you even know how I am?”
George took a deep look at Elena and quickly understood, “I know ……”
Cornel instantly looked at George warily, “Dad, what do you mean by that?”
George immediately crossed his glance low reprimanded out, “You shut up!”
