George Brown let out a long sigh, “This the Browns ah, what should be, everything depends on God’s will, and no one can be blamed, and you …… have nothing to do with it!”
The words, the last few words, weighed heavily on her heart.
Elena Bush took a deep breath, “Hmm.”
“All right, it’s time for people to arrive, I’ll go and meet them.” The old man dropped the last word and hung up, and at the end of it, Elena Bush couldn’t help but hear Cornel Brown’s grumbling.
She laughed easily at this, not taking it personally.
Cornel Brown cared about the Brown Group, and it wasn’t wrong to have a grudge against her, so she accepted it!
But now she had something more important to confirm!
That was the matter of the Fords’ home!
Edward Ford was at the Browns and Logan Brown was away, so this was the best time to do it, and if she missed this opportunity, she didn’t know if there would be another one. ……
The best time to do this was at the Browns.
Inside the Fords
The Fords is a place where Elena Bush has been before, perhaps because Edward Ford had instructed her to do so afterwards, so Elena Bush’s entry was exceptionally smooth and unhindered. On the contrary, the maid who had just entered the main house and met her earlier had a frightened look on her face.
The next moment, she rushed up to her and asked in a nervous whisper, “Miss Bush, Edward Ford isn’t here right now, you’re here ……”.
Elena Bush naturally recognised her and gritted her teeth, hating only then for having met such a big problem.
The squeeze of her palm tightened before she reluctantly said, “I’m here to see my brother, of course.”
“Kent?”
“Or what?” She gave her a sidelong glance, her face subdued.
At that, the young maid breathed a secret sigh of relief, “He’s resting upstairs right now, I just happened to be the one who served him his medicine this morning, and he’s probably asleep by now.”
“Then I’ll wait here until he wakes up, you go ahead and do your work.”
“I’ll stay here then, and Miss Bush can call me if she needs anything.”
Elena Bush’s cold gaze fell on her slowly, “Are you going to spy on me?”
“I wouldn’t dare, I just thought I’d look after you here in case ……”
“I don’t need to be looked after! You get off!” She rebuked sternly, interrupting her directly.
But no matter what she said, the maid wouldn’t leave, her face stubborn, “Miss Bush, I’m begging you, don’t give me a hard time, if Edward Ford comes back and finds out you’re here and we’ve left you alone he’ll blame us …… ”
“Who dares say anything about what I mean?” Elena Bush said coldly.
The young maid moved her lips to say something else only to see a stern look pass over her and cut her off straight away, “I said get out now, all of you! I want to wait here alone for Kent to wake up!”
“Miss Bush ……”
“What? Are you asking me to tell Edward Ford about the other house?”
“No ……”
When the young maid heard this, she immediately went weak in her legs in fear and almost didn’t fall straight to her knees, “Miss Bush, please don’t be ridiculous, you promised me you wouldn’t say anything.”
“I did promise, but now you are the one with the intention of spying on me, which makes me wonder if you are deliberately working against me ……”
“I am not.”
The maid was on the verge of tears in her anxiety.
Elena Bush took her hand and patted it lightly, a quick glint of light passing under her eyes, “But since you’ve seen through me too, I won’t hide it from you, and yes, I’m here today to take another look at the other house!”
“Bush, Miss Bush! How can you you ……”
“Why can’t I?” Elena Bush let go of her hand, “I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to get you involved, but you insisted on asking, so I’m not to blame for being honest with you!”
“But what could you have done if you’d gone?”
“Whether I can do it or not is a choice I have to make, it’s none of your business.” Elena Bush turned her face, and a look fixed her in place.
The maid looked embarrassed and Elena Bush smiled easily, “Take my advice, walk out of here now and pretend you don’t see me or know what I’m going to do so you can pretend you don’t know anything and Edward Ford will be less likely to give you a hard time.”
“Miss Bush …… how do you expect me to ignore it when I already know about it?”
“So, you’re still going to stop me?”
At those words, the look on the maid’s face became even more frightened, she only hated that she hadn’t listened to Elena Bush and just left, so that she didn’t know that if anything happened she would get off clean, but now, she hated even more that she had said something she shouldn’t have said at that moment!
Elena Bush spoke clearly, “In fact, even if you wanted to stop me, it would be useless, I came here today specifically to go to the other house, and no one can stop me!”
The last half of the sentence cut off all her thoughts.
The maid gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, stepped out of the way, “Miss Bush …… please!”
“Thank you.”
Elena Bush’s tense nerves relaxed and she patted her on the shoulder and sighed, “Instead of being scared, why don’t you find a way to get out of here one day and not have to think about anything else?”
The maid bowed her head and didn’t say anything.
Elena Bush pursed her lips and dropped her hand, remembering the path she had taken earlier as she made her way to the courtyard ……
The courtyard was a lot quieter than the last time, but a little more horror. It was clearly a summer’s day, but when she stepped into it, she felt a chill come over her feet.
The décor of the courtyard was extremely simple, but on closer inspection, all the furnishings in the house were of great value, with books, paper, pens and ink, all of which revealed an unspeakable warmth.
Step by step she walked in, and the more she saw as far as her eyes could see, the more her mind could not help but think of Joanna Lake, as if all this …… was made for Joanna Lake.
“Who are you?”
Behind her, a sudden, ghostly female voice came, scaring the goose bumps off her back!
Elena Bush turned around violently and the familiar figure reappeared in front of her eyes. Even though she had already prepared herself mentally, when she saw it again, she still couldn’t help but have her cold hairs stand up at this moment!
The woman in the room eyed her warily and looked her up and down, “Are you the new maid here?”
The thought was quickly denied, Elena Bush was dressed in a plain outfit, but the way she was dressed and the way she stood there made one think that she was something else.
Elena Bush met her eyes and a light smile appeared on her face, “Hello, I’m Elena Bush.”
