Elena didn’t finish her determined words after all, and took a deep breath, “Dad, there are things Logan and I will handle and work out together, so I don’t want you to separate us by doing that.”
“If it wasn’t for you, the Browns wouldn’t have gotten into this much trouble!” Cornel said through clenched teeth.
Elena laughed, “It’s true, the Fords want to pin this all on me because I caused it, and I admit it!”
Because, indeed, she did cause all this.
Cornel grimaced, “If you know that, then why do you insist on doing it? Elena, you’ve already made a mistake, you can’t make another one!”
“Dad!”
Elena abruptly interrupted his words of dissuasion, “You said that the Fords would not treat me badly, and that Edward was truly good to me, but if he truly wanted me to call him dad, then he should not have done these things now!”
What she was hoping for was a reasonable father, but what she ended up with was Edward’s threat!
What father is willing to push his daughter into the limelight? Even Cornel, he knew Yolanda was not his daughter and still wanted to let her go more than once.
And Edward?
Elena’s gaze fell steadily on Cornel’s body, “I will only say once and for the last time, to make me admit Edward, it is impossible in this life!”
The tighter he pushes, the more she won’t compromise!
“You ……” Cornel is full of helplessness and annoyance, “You, why are you so stubborn!”
“I’m not stubborn, but I have my own life plan, and it just so happens that I don’t have the word Edward in my life.”
The little woman’s words were extraordinarily firm, and the light in her eyes was too bright for anyone to ignore.
Cornel looked stunned for a moment, and only blinked in response half a second later.
The hands hanging at the sides have long been clenched into fists and then released, Cornel took a deep breath and finally compromised, “Elena, I will only give you one chance, as long as the Brown Group and KL are even the slightest bit shaken or threatened, I will not hesitate to get rid of you! ”
Elena bit her lip and didn’t say anything.
Cornel shook off his hand, “You have to remember, even if I am giving you a chance, however, it does not mean that I approve of you.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t need your approval either.” She said in a flat tone.
Cornel grunted and gave her a deep look and left with big steps.
Looking at the door that closed with a ‘bang’, Elena couldn’t help but follow with a deep breath and her body collapsed on the sofa.
Mia was instructed by Elena in advance not to come out of the kitchen, no matter what she heard or saw, now she also waited for people to leave before she followed and ventured out, “Madam, are you okay?”
Elena lifted her spirits, raised her lips and shook her head, “Yes, I’m just feeling a little tired.”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but Mr. Brown is always trying to get rid of you. ……”
“Okay.” Elena interrupted her in time, “He was just talking about it, not doing anything, and it didn’t affect me much.”
Mia couldn’t help but look at her with a long sigh of pain, “Madam, even if you don’t admit it, but I also know that Mr. Brown’s words sound nothing, but this heart is in the end difficult.”
“I’m fine, just don’t take it to heart.” Elena was still smiling.
The only thing that Mia could do was to shut up and not mention the incident again.
Elena did not forget to urge, “By the way, do not tell Logan about what happened today.”
“Without telling the gentleman?”
“Yes.” Elena nodded.
Mia hesitated, unhappiness written in her eyes.
Elena couldn’t help but get up and take her arm slightly, pouting, “Come on, I really don’t have anything, it’s enough that you just think he’s coming over to see the baby.”
“Okay.” Mia was full of helplessness, “I can’t guess what you’re thinking, and you’re still helping him.”
Elena smiled, her head recalled what George had said, in the end it was family, blood is thicker than love, it is not good to tear the skin.
The two of us are sick of each other, so we don’t have to look at each other, so why mess with them?
Mia was hugged by her for a while, the kitchen soon followed a strong aroma, so she immediately got up, “Oops, I remembered my soup has not turned off the fire?”
Saying that, she rushed in in a flurry of fire.
Elena couldn’t help but let out a low laugh, full of pleasure.
It seemed …… such a day suited her better.
The noise and strife ……
Inside the Brown Group
Jacob knocked on the office door before gently pushing it open, “Sir, Mr. Scott is here.”
“Where is the man?”
Jacob gave up half of his body, and the person behind him immediately showed his face.
Roger is still as spontaneous as ever, a tough face, a suit, looking clean and decent.
Roger stepped forward and couldn’t resist patting the man who also walked in front of him on the shoulder heavily, “Logan.”
“Uncle Roger,” Logan guffawed, pointing to a sofa and saying, “Sit down.”
Jacob followed to the side to boil water and make tea, Logan and Roger sat down face to face.
Roger took a sip of the tea Jacob handed him before he finally sighed, “What, after playing around for half a year, you’re ready to take a break and take care of the company?”
“Uncle Roger, the reason why the company can let me so relieved, purely because of this group of credible high cadres, and now ……”
Logan suddenly stopped and Roger couldn’t help but look at him curiously, “What? Is something wrong with the company?”
“No.” Logan smiled, and even so, his deep eyes could not help but follow him, “Uncle Roger, what do you think of the Fords Group or Edward?”
“Edward?”
“Hmm.”
Roger’s gaze at this point became more and more suspicious, “Logan, I remember you asked me almost the same question earlier, so just tell me straight out, is there something wrong on Edward’s side? Or maybe ……”
“No, I was just asking off the cuff.”
Roger deep gaze, vaguely guessed what, “Logan, I’m not stupid, you have something not to hide from me, just tell me directly.”
Logan just austere, “Uncle Roger, I know you and Edward relationship has always been good, but I just want to say, you know everything is only the surface, Edward and too many hidden too deep things, you simply can not see, he will never mention with you.”
