When auntie Julie came back into the room, Elena Bush was already back in bed, not looking at her.
auntie Julie shrugged her head and couldn’t help but whisper again, “Miss Elena, are you …… still angry?”
The latter didn’t answer, just lay there quietly holding the covers tightly at ease, as if she couldn’t hear anything, her eyes tightly closed.
“Miss Elena.” auntie Julie sighed softly, “I know you must blame me, but I can really explain, I really didn’t say anything, everything was Mr. Ford’s own guess, and after that I had no choice but to ……”
Halfway through the sentence, she also knew she was in the wrong, and clenched her hand wordlessly, “Miss Elena, if you really want to blame me, just hit me and scold me, if it makes your heart feel better to do that.”
“No need.” The tone of the person on the bed was flat, inaudible joy and sorrow.
auntie Julie felt even more guilty and was afraid she might have a resentful heart towards herself.
“Miss Elena ……”
auntie Julie was about to say something else when Elena Bush lifted the covers and sat up, “If you have even a shred of guilt now, please go out and let me calm myself down!”
“But, Mr Ford ……”
“Don’t mention Edward Ford to me again, I only ask you one thing, get out, or don’t you?”
If she wasn’t going out, there was nothing to say, if she was going out, close the door immediately and leave her alone.
auntie Julie was in a quandary, hesitating as to what to do.
Elena Bush quickly understood what she meant by being silent and withdrew her eyes from her face, “Yes, I understand.”
“Miss Elena ……,” auntie Julie’s speech was not good enough, “I know it’s my fault, but I don’t dare to disobey Mr. Ford’s words, so I’ll have to give you a break. But don’t worry, when Mr. Ford’s anger has subsided, I’ll ……”
“No need for that!”
She interrupted her sternly and lay back down, “I want to be quiet for a while, don’t wake me up, call me when Dr Thomas comes.”
auntie Julie had nothing to say but to nod and say, “Yes ……”
Elena Bush was really tired, she hadn’t slept well all night, and the fact that the sky was open and there were servants walking inside and out somehow helped her to drift off to sleep ……
The hotel, Logan Brown stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the scenery downstairs, frowning, holding the phone microphone in his hand incessantly came Zach Stone’s words, “The package you asked me to check earlier has no news for the time being, but it continues to be received, one after another, there should be eight of them. ”
“Eight?” The man’s face became more and more gloomy, “Such a situation has appeared so many times now and still can’t find out!
If it had been in the past, the clues would have been found already, but it was simply as if nothing had happened, and there had been no interruption in the sending of them.
Zach Stone felt a little guilty, “I’m sorry, I’ve been focusing on the S City side of the land too much this time of year, and the Edward Ford thing I’ve been ……”
Before he could finish his sentence, Logan Brown had understood the meaning of his words and helplessly raised his hand to rub his brow and said, “Okay, I’m all clear.”
Zach Stone listened to the weariness in his words and was a little concerned, “What, still no progress on the sister-in-law front?”
“We’ll see.” He took a deep breath, “Some things can’t be rushed, Elena has her heart set on the Browns and KL while she stays at the Fords and the baby and her are all leverage for Edward Ford.”
It’s not that he can’t move, he’s afraid to ……
Because, with one eventuality, no one could know what that person would do.
Zach Stone listened and couldn’t help but follow with a sigh, “You both care about each other, and both do everything for the sake of the other, so I really don’t know if I should feel good or bad about you two.”
Logan Brown couldn’t help but smile bitterly along with him, “I guess we’re the only ones who can relate to that feeling.”
Zach Stone was relieved to hear the sarcasm in his words, he had thought he would be crushed by Edward Ford, but now it seemed that the man was in better shape than he had thought.
Zach Stone was silent for a moment and then lamented, “I thought Mason Bush was enough of a problem, but now this old man is even more of a problem, Logan Brown, Logan Brown, you got a good wife, but it’s not a small price to pay.”
Logan Brown’s cold eyes narrowed as he warned in a deep voice, “Zach Stone, I don’t want anyone to talk about her with prejudice, it’s not what she expects, it’s not about her.”
“Of course I know that.” Zach Stone shrugged, “I was just being sentimental, as the saying goes, you have to be thorny to hold a beautiful woman, and that, in hindsight, is not wrong at all.”
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, then revealed an unprecedented confidence and coldness, “If that’s what it takes, then I’m willing to do it!”
“OK,” Zach Stone said as he listened to his words, inexplicably raised in goose bumps, “do what you want, but no matter what, I hope you can bring sister-in-law and my godson back safe and sound. ”
“Well, I will.”
“I believe in you too.” Zach Stone’s words were firm and unmistakable.
Logan Brown hooked his lips slightly and had another direction in mind, “I seem to have remembered something from the conversation earlier, so go check it out for me.”
Zach Stone listened and immediately lifted his spirits, “Yes, you name it, I’ll get it done!”
“Naturally, no one else can do this job but you.” The light under the man’s eyes flashed so quickly that it was impossible to catch it.
As he spoke, Jacob knocked on the door and Logan Brown raised his hand to interrupt what he was about to say and continued to rush Zach Stone, “Remember, do what I tell you to do and don’t let anyone notice.”
“Of course, who am I, I’m Zach Stone, what can I do that I can’t take care of?” Zach Stone was as self-absorbed as ever.
Logan Brown quickly cut the phone off.
Only after hanging up did Jacob take a slight step forward, “Sir, there’s movement from the Fords.”
“Say.”
The man turned and sat back in his office chair, the frost on his face winning even more.
Jacob squeezed his palm and soon an invitation was carefully placed on his desk, “the Fords sent me this.”
The man looked over in passing, only to see the envelope folded properly, as if he hadn’t opened it and read it, except that, he knew that Jacob must have read the contents before coming to him.
