The butler looked at Edward Ford’s appearance and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, “Mr. Ford …… since that’s the case, have you ever thought that maybe you’re using the wrong method?”
The words just fell, a laced with a knife sharp eyes swept over.
Edward Ford had a grim face, “Do your part!”
Who was he to criticise him?
Elena Bush couldn’t make sense in a thousand words, what else could he do if he didn’t?
“I’m sorry Mr Ford, I overstepped.” The butler buried his face, not daring to continue speaking.
“Get out!” Edward Ford warned in a deep voice, “Remember, no one is to see her without my orders, and tell your men to keep a tighter guard for the next few days, don’t let anyone in or out at will!”
“Yes, I’ll get on it now.” The butler hurriedly answered and left.
Edward Ford glanced at the third floor in the direction of Elena Bush’s bedroom and quickly withdrew his gaze.
Elena Bush had stayed the whole afternoon, and the maids had been in and out several times, but hadn’t touched a single bite of the food.
Edward Ford looked at the maid who was shaking like a sieve with her plate in front of her, “Haven’t he had a sip of water since her arrived?”
“Yes ……”
“Bastard!” Edward Ford slapped the table and got up, “Did she think she could threaten me just by doing that!”
“Clang!”
The maid was shocked by Edward Ford’s appearance, her hands were unsteady and the food and cutlery on the table fell to pieces.
“Sorry, sorry Mr Ford, I, I didn’t mean to! I’ll clean up now!” The maid subconsciously dropped to her knees and quickly cleaned up the mess despite the sharpness of the china.
Edward Ford swept his head down with a pang of annoyance.
“Useless thing, get the hell out of here!”
“Yes!”
The servant rolled and quickly disappeared from his sight, followed by a few servants who quickly cleaned up the floor with quick hands and feet.
The butler looked at the scene before him, his heart could not help but sigh helplessly, revealing regret ……
Edward Ford nostrils revealed a hum, “Go, I want to see, is her temper stubborn, or I can subdue her!”
The butler saw the situation and said, “No, Mr. Ford, slow down!”
Edward Ford’s head was filled with thoughts of Elena Bush against her, and a deep-seated anger that kept growing!
“Bang!” There was a bang.
The door was slammed open and Elena Bush jumped to her feet.
Edward Ford took three steps forward and stopped in front of her, “Elena Bush, are you threatening me? Threatening me with death?”
She did know how to use herself as leverage!
“Is that what Mr Ford came up here with all this fanfare about?” Elena Bush raised her eyes and met his now imposing look.
“Do you think you can threaten me?” He asked through gritted teeth.
Elena Bush looked at him and shook her head, then turned and fiddled with something on her dresser, “I just couldn’t eat because I wanted to go home, so what’s the threat?”
“Not a threat?” Edward Ford grimaced, “What you are doing now is not a threat!”
“I don’t know what Mr Ford means.” She looked down at the comb in her hand and hooked a smile.
“Is that so?”
Edward Ford nodded and after a sneer said, “Go! Get me the cook who is working in the kitchen today!”
The housekeeper hesitated behind him, “Miss Elena, I advise you not to get angry, people are made of iron, food is made of steel, you’re still pregnant, how can you not eat?”
Elena Bush kept her head down and did not answer.
Edward Ford was furious, “What are you talking about? Bring me the man! And bring me a knife!”
A knife!
Elena Bush’s heart stuttered involuntarily, suddenly unsure of his intentions.
But soon she realised that Edward Ford was only doing this to force her to do what he wanted!
Edward Ford was holding the chef’s hand on the table with one hand and grinning at her, “Elena, is the reason you’re not eating because his food is not to your liking? If so, I’ll chop off his hand right now so he never has to be a cook again in his life!”
“What!?”
Elena Bush immediately turned around and looked at him incredulously, “Edward Ford, what are you mad about!”
Her eyes were filled with horror, the chef was crying with fear but didn’t dare to move, tears kept falling down his face, the desperate eyes slowly moved to hers, “Miss Elena, I’m begging you, help me ……”
Elena Bush clenched her teeth so hard you could almost hear yourself grinding them in secret! “Edward Ford! This is between you and me, how can you bring an outsider into this!”
“He’s not an outsider, he’s one of THE FORDS, and at my word, his life or death will be my decision.” With an innocent look on his face, he put all the blame on her, “Elena, think about it, the rest of his life is on your shoulders.”
Elena Bush shuddered involuntarily, not knowing whether it was from anger or fear.
Back in G, Edward Ford’s demeanour made her feel even more overwhelmingly percolating and insanely overwhelmed.
The chef was still waiting bitterly for her answer, and as she stood there, the answer had long been obvious.
“Mr Ford.” She took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the discomfort, “I’m a little hungry, please ask the kitchen to cook me some porridge.”
At these words, Edward Ford’s grip on the cook’s hand loosened and the knife was returned to his hand.
He smiled at the cook, who was limp and helpless, and said, “Did you hear what the lady said? Why don’t you go and get the kitchen ready!”
“Yes!” The cook busily stood up straight, holding the table, and before he left he nodded at Elena Bush, “Thank you, thank you Miss Elena.”
Elena Bush clenched her fists silently, her long, thin nails digging into her palms, and her heart ached with pain.
Edward Ford let out a long breath and said, “Elena, I know you’re upset, but I have a million ways to make you give in just the same, no one in G City can go against me, and no one dares to go against me!”
Elena Bush stared at him with scarlet eyes, “You are clearly threatening me with the lives and deaths of innocent people! Do you think you’re an honorable man for doing that!”
“I am a businessman, and a businessman only needs how to get himself to his goal, as for the rest …… I don’t care!”
Edward Ford laughed coldly and cut off all her thoughts straight away!
