Elena was surprised by the sudden door Cornel, pulling open the door for a moment is also blinded, a few seconds later to regain consciousness to squeeze out a smile, “Dad to here, is there something?”
Cornel lowered his eyes and looked at the person who previously called him by his full name but at this time called him dad in a false sense, so that his heart for no reason is another burst of disgust.
The silence and the gaze that fell on her body made her a little at a loss, and her face continued to wear a light smile, “If you’re here to see Logan, he’s not here, he’s already gone to the office ……”
“I’m here to see you!” Cornel replied before reaching out and pushing past her who was blocking the doorway and walking straight in.
Elena squeezed her palm and slowly closed the door.
Cornel looked around and saw no sign of Mia and frowned, “The maids aren’t here today?”
Elena barely raised a smile , “Dad is here to see me, what do you care about the maids? Or are you afraid that some of the …… maids can’t listen to some of the words?”
“That’s not true.” Cornel withdrew his gaze and laughed easily, “Elena, you’re a smart person, you didn’t even answer my phone call earlier, so you must know what I’m looking for you for, right?”
Elena took a sip of the milk that she had just warmed up and didn’t have time to drink and put it down, “Dad, they say that one pregnancy is silly, so, my head is really not working well these days, so, I don’t know what you mean.”
She smiled harmlessly and Cornel couldn’t help but narrow his eyes dangerously, “Do you really not know, or are you just pretending here?”
“I don’t know, can’t Dad still explain it to me?”
Cornel was furious, but he couldn’t find a single thing wrong with the way she looked!
He took a deep breath and looked at her with a touch of determination, and spoke clearly and precisely, “Elena, I want you to leave Logan!”
“Heh!”
Elena suddenly hid her lips, but her eyes could not hide the smile.
Cornel grimaced, “What do you mean by that? Are you laughing at my lack of self-respect?”
“No.” Elena guffawed, her smile growing, “I just think …… dad always seems to like saying unrealistic things.”
He knew full well about her feelings for Logan, so why bring it up again now?
Cornel pursed his thin lips tightly and couldn’t hide the hate in his eyes as he looked at her.
Elena continued to pick up the milk she had put down, “Dad, I know what’s on your mind right now, but even so, I won’t promise you to leave Logan!”
“Even if Logan sacrifices the Brown Group and KL for you, you can still be indifferent!
Cornel looked at her, and his whole body couldn’t stop shivering, as if he was annoyed with her words.
Elena hesitated for a moment and quickly shook her head again, “No, I believe in him, he won’t lose, let alone be no match for one of the Fords!”
“You’re too naive after all!” Cornel stood up swiftly, “Do you know what the Fords’ origins are? You don’t know! That’s why you can be here saying things that don’t matter!”
If she had known, she certainly would not have reacted like this.
Elena’s grip on the cup tightened, “If that’s the case, then I’m glad I don’t know.”
And that’s why she can trust Logan so firmly again, without any wavering!
“You ……” Cornel looked at her, unable to conceal his disgust and repulsion, “Elena, you’re horrible, how I’ve never felt before that you could be so heartless and cold-blooded! ”
All she had even thought about from the beginning until now was herself, not even thinking about the Browns, not thinking about Logan!
“Right.” Elena met his gaze and nodded, “So don’t you try to convince me that I’m more selfish than you think.”
“Elena!”
Cornel pointed his index finger at her, his face hiding the pain, the hand pointing straight at her followed slowly, “Elena, just think of it as me begging you, okay, you leave Logan, you go to Edward, he’s your father, your real father won’t treat you badly!”
“But I don’t need to!” Elena coldly dropped her face, “You can think about the Brown Group, but I think about myself, I will not choose a path I do not want to take, and you do not want to force me.”
“Even if I begged you, you wouldn’t agree?” He looked at her, his eyes scarlet.
Elena looked away and wordlessly chose her answer.
Cornel laughed out loud, “Elena, do you really think you’re something so recklessly thinking you can get Logan to do anything for you?”
“I’m not a thing, I’m Logan’s legitimate wife!”
“Elena, I’m telling you, even if you don’t want to go, you have to go. For the Brown Group, for KL, for Logan, I’ll do anything!”
“For them?”
Elena looked at him coldly and slapped her glass on the table with a ‘pop’, “Cornel, what’s the difference between your words and Jacqueline’s? She did everything she shouldn’t have done for Yolanda, but in the end, it was only for herself! And you? What’s the difference?”
He says he’s doing it for others, but everyone knows that he’s just afraid that if the Brown Group falls, he’ll lose everything!
So who is he to shout that he is doing it for the Brown Group, for KL, or for Logan?
“So you’re implying in turn that I’m the selfish one?”
Elena looked at him faintly, without a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Cornel raised his eyes and met her gaze at that moment, feeling for the first time that the person in front of him was extraordinarily strange, so strange that he felt as if he had never known this person before.
Elena silently squeezed her palm, “Dad, I do not want to target you, but you do not force me, the Fords side, I will not compromise no matter what, so even if he comes to let you convince me, or even threaten me, all this, for me, all to no avail!”
“How do you know it was Edward who called ……”
Cornel nearly blurted out, reacted to realize that he said the wrong thing immediately silent.
Elena let go of the tightly squeezed hand, “You don’t say I know, you can control before, that is because the heart still carries a trace of expectation, and now ……”
He even panicked enough to take advantage of Logan’s absence to come over to her to force her to leave, that can only mean that Edward approached him and put pressure on him.
Cornel inexplicably avoided the eyes she looked over, the taste of being seen through everything was really uncomfortable at all, and more than that, he had no place to hide!
