Elena Bush listened to Zach Stone’s words, not knowing when the other side of the phone had hung up she was still clutching the phone and Logan Brown had folded back into the kitchen looking at the sluggish her a little puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
At that, Elena Bush drew back and grinned at him, “Nothing, I just got lost in thought.”
Logan Brown glanced down at the phone she was holding, “Who are you calling?”
Elena Bush faltered, but quickly nodded in response, “”Yeah, I wanted to call my grandmother, thinking that she should be worried too since I’ve been busy and haven’t contacted her for a while.”
“Yeah, well, Grandma should be thinking about you.”
“Mm-hmm.” She smiled as if nothing had happened, “I’ll give her a call now then, I remember, she said she’d be coming over around her due date too, just to remind her.”
“Good.” Logan Brown didn’t even notice the look on her face as he looked down and typed the package.
The bread was soon wrapped in a beautiful gift box, and Logan Brown took a photo of it as a souvenir, after all, it was Elena Bush who had gone to the trouble of making it.
Knowing the status of the Brow and the Ford at the moment, Cornel Brown said yes when she asked Elena Bush to meet her.
When they left the house, Mia was worried about her mobility and had to go with her, so Elena Bush had to promise her that she would be back in an hour to reassure her.
Inside the cafe ……
When Elena Bush saw Cornel Brown again, he got straight to the point and said, “Tell me, when are you leaving Logan Brown?”
The hand that was about to pick up the juice followed and was quickly put back down.
Elena Bush guffawed, “I don’t quite understand what Mr Brown means.”
“Don’t understand?” Cornel Brown sneered, “Whether you don’t understand or are pretending to be confused, I think you know better in your heart than I do!”
“I’m just a woman, Mr Brown, that’s a bit of a compliment.”
Cornel Brown looked at the innocent look on her face and was furious, “Elena Bush, don’t you go on pretending to be confused, don’t you forget that you promised me that if there was the slightest threat to the Brown Group, you would leave Logan Brown and give us back the Brow! But what do you do now? How do you do it!”
In his eyes, it was clear she had gone back on her word!
Elena Bush squeezed her palms together and forced out a smile, “But now the Brown Group’s position isn’t threatened in the slightest is it?”
“Several partnerships have been blocked, and now all the spokespeople and manufacturers that were set to renew are being poached, what do you think the Brown Group will have left if they lose all of these!”
Elena Bush’s body shook and her long nails dug into her palm.
Cornel Brown looked straight at her and said, “Elena Bush, tell me, if that’s not enough, what do you want to put the Brown Group through before you stop?”
“I don’t want to get the Brown Group involved, and I don’t want to get you involved, it’s just that I can’t leave him.” She looked up, her starry eyes shining with determination.
The sarcasm in Cornel Brown’s eyes deepened, “You can’t leave, Elena Bush, I suggest you don’t take yourself too seriously, men are lower body creatures. ”
“That’s between us.”
“But it is also between you that I am discussing with you now, Elena Bush, you should know better than anyone that your continued presence by his side will only bring him disaster and that you will not be able to achieve anything together!”
Elena Bush immediately looked away, her face cold.
It was never necessary for outsiders to say what would happen between them.
Cornel Brown’s face was equally cold, “I know you don’t want to accept it now, but you have to recognise the truth anyway!”
“And what about you?” Elena Bush raised her eyes and curled her lips, “If that’s the case, then why are you still hung up on Jacqueline?”
She also didn’t understand why Jacqueline, who had done so much evil and hadn’t even done a single bit of good at the end, was still selfish enough to think she could be freed, so why did he still think about it?
“That’s what I’m ashamed of ……” Cornel Brown said with a flash of pain, “I got Yolanda killed and I drove her to her doom, I’m ashamed, why can’t I remember? ”
“What guilt do you have for her!?”
Elena Bush slammed the juice she was carrying onto the table, splashing it all over the table and her hand.
Cornel Brown looked over in dismay, only to see her face was as distant as it had ever been, “Cornel Brown, you say you feel guilty about her because you drove them to their deaths, but as far as I’m concerned, I don’t feel the slightest bit of guilt about them, and in any case, that was the path they chose, they had it coming to them!”
“What did you say ……”
“I said you’re stupid!” She hadn’t even finished his sentence, she had already bellowed back, “Cornel Brown, you should have come to your senses a long time ago, what did Jacqueline and Yolanda have to do with you? Don’t you know who you’re really ashamed of?”
Logan Brown’s mother died in vain at a young age because of Jacqueline, and it took him more than 20 years to learn the truth, but the last thing he remembers after his guilt is Jacqueline.
He said he couldn’t love and remember just one person for the rest of his life, so what was Jacqueline?
The irony of even mentioning it was beyond her!
Cornel Brown’s mouth opened, unable to retort, and he looked at her blankly for a moment, unable to recover.
Elena Bush rose slowly, holding her back, “Cornel Brown, I don’t know what threat you feel the Brown Group is under right now that makes you feel frightened, but don’t dare, I’m sure, I trust Logan Brown.”
He would not let anything happen to the Brown Group, nor would he let the Brown Group go down.
“Logan Brown?” grinned Cornel Brown, “If I had to wait for him, then the Brown Group would have failed to hold up a long time ago!”
“What?”
Cornel Brown ignored the doubt in her eyes and simply said, “I know better than anyone now that you all still blame me to this day, for thinking about Jacqueline, so all the more reason you hate the Brown Group for going under!”
“I ……”
Elena Bush shook her head incredulously, “I never thought of it that way, it was you who kept discussing Logan Brown’s feelings with me that I put my heart into it and made you understand that Logan Brown and I had the same ……”
“That’s enough!”
Cornel Brown waved his hand, “That’s just a lie, you think I wouldn’t know better? You’d like to see something happen to the Brown Group now, and then use it to prove how important you are to the Brown Group!”
