Logan Brown’s words ignited the seed in Edward Ford’s heart called jealousy.
Blue veins crawled across his forehead and his face was ironic, “I will settle this matter sooner or later, but you are the one who should be miserable now, knowing that you …… are not even qualified to want to see her now!”
“Is that so?” Logan Brown hooked his lips in a provocative smile, “Then don’t you dare give Elena your phone. Let me ask in person if she wants to see me.”
“Delusional!”
“Edward Ford, are you afraid?” Logan Brown had a subdued look on his face, and with each word, he poked at the most disturbing, terrified point in his mind.
Edward Ford swallowed unnaturally, then quickly calmed down, “You’re all about bravado now, I have the man, no amount of talk is going to help.”
“I’ll come to you.” The man’s voice was uncharacteristically calm, as if he had the victory in his hands.
Edward Ford subconsciously gave a cold chortle, “So what? If you have the guts, you can just come.”
Edward Ford had never been afraid of anything!
“Okay.” Logan Brown nodded and hung up the phone straight away.
Edward Ford looked at the screen of the phone that had ended the call and squeezed his hand so tightly that the screen almost burst!
When he returned to Elena Bush’s compartment, the person who was supposed to be sitting in the seat was empty, only the assistant was left.
Edward Ford’s heart sank and he immediately stepped forward and slapped his assistant on the head, “Where is he!”
“Went …… to the bathroom ……” The assistant was bewildered by the beating and had even less idea of what was happening at this point.
Edward Ford stomped his foot and glared at him as he thought about the phone call and the fact that Elena Bush had been trying to try to contact Logan Brown, “You stupid bastard! I told you to keep a close eye on Elena Bush……”
“What’s all the noise?”
A clear voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Edward Ford’s angry scolding.
He turned around sharply, only to see Elena Bush standing behind him with a puzzled look on her face, holding her back.
Edward Ford’s face flushed and he looked her up and down, “Did you just go to the bathroom?”
“Or what?” The latter swept him a glance, seemingly a little unhappy with his questioning, “Mr Ford, I promised you something, so naturally I won’t go back on it, don’t worry, I won’t leave.”
Edward Ford resumed his seat and tried his best to explain his suspicions, “Elena, I didn’t mean it like that, I was just worried about you because I suddenly came back and didn’t see you.”
“Worried about me for what? The car is still moving, I’m not stupid enough to jump off the tracks and kill myself.”
The words Elena Bush spat out indifferently made Edward Ford’s face grow harder and harder, but he couldn’t find anything to say to convince her, so he just sighed softly and sat silently.
After a moment, the small woman in front of him extended her hand towards him.
Edward Ford looked up at her, slightly puzzled.
Elena Bush wrinkled her brow, “My phone! Mr Ford doesn’t have a fetish for taking other people’s things for himself, does he? It’s mine, at least, and it’s not fair to take it and not return it.”
Edward Ford listened and pulled out his phone and slapped it in her hand without good grace.
Elena Bush immediately switched it on and checked it, only lifting her face to look at him when she saw the phone prompt ‘SIM inserted’.
“Where’s my phone card?”
“Threw it away.”
“Why!” Elena Bush was shaking all over in anger, “It’s my own stuff, who are you to ……”
Edward Ford didn’t answer, closing his eyes and hugging his arms, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.
Elena Bush was so angry that she couldn’t speak, but the man in front of her just treated her as if she was throwing a tantrum,.
“Edward Ford!” she shouted his name in a stern voice.
The assistant glanced at Edward Ford, whose breathing had evened out, and soothed kindly, “Miss Bush, President Fords has rested, so I advise you to take a break as well.”
Elena Bush gritted her teeth and stared at the man who had pretended to be asleep, half-heartedly holding back only two words, “Bummer!”
The assistant smiled and secretly rubbed her forehead, almost shocked.
She was the only one in the world who dared to talk to Edward Ford like that. Those of them who had seen Edward Ford’s ruthlessness could only express their concern for her ……
Edward Ford chose not to answer, and Elena Bush had no way to vent her anger, so she pushed it back.
Inside H City
Logan Brown hangs up the phone with Edward Ford, grabs his keys and jacket from the desk and heads out the door, Jacob is coming down from a phone call with his files and they collide in the lift.
Jacob looked at him with a chilly look on his face and immediately called out to him, “Where are you going, sir?”
“the Brown!”
“the Brown?”
Jacob froze, and before he knew it the man had already pressed the floor of the underground car park, causing him to subconsciously go after him immediately, “Sir, what is the Brown doing at this time of day? I’ve checked the time of her ladyship’s arrival in G. Shouldn’t it be …… now?”
Logan Brown gave him a sidelong glance, “Do you think Elena Bush would be the kind of person to say she was leaving?”
Naturally she had a reason to leave and the reason for it couldn’t be clearer than The Brown Group!
Jacob’s grip on the file tightened, “What you mean sir is that …… all this has something to do with Mr Brown?”
“More than that!” Logan Brown sneered, “I’m afraid Logan Brown must have been looking for her for a while, otherwise how could she have followed Edward Ford out of H City so easily?”
Edward Ford alone wouldn’t have been able to convince her.
So there must be another hand behind her, pushing her, forcing her!
Jacob immediately understood, and his heart skipped a few beats, a little shaken.
“But isn’t it obvious that Mr Brown is doing this?” It was just as obvious now, with just a little guessing to associate it with him, was it necessary for him to do so?
“So what if it’s obvious?” Logan Brown asked rhetorically without hesitation, “Would someone like Logan Brown be someone who cared about such things?”
His world would always be about The Brown Group, about himself, and how could he possibly care about Elena Bush and what would happen to him?
Even if …… he was his son.
Even if …… he knows full well that he can’t live without Elena Bush!
Jacob hung his head, not daring to say another word.
There was a ‘ding’ from the lift and Logan Brown took it in stride, not forgetting to bark out a warning before he left, “I’ll take care of the Brown matter, you arrange to book me a flight to G tonight.”
Jacob nodded his head and stood still saying, “Yes!”
