Roger Scott didn’t answer, he was just silent.
George Brown sighed helplessly, “It’s just that, it’s just that, let the past all go, from now on …… I just want them all to be okay.”
“George Brown,” Roger Scott finally squared his face, “If Cornel Brown thought like you, I don’t think Elena and Logan would have gone through so much.”
His words caused George Brown’s expression to freeze on his face and finally dissolve into a bitter smile.
The two men smiled at each other and neither spoke again until they left for good ……
The first time Roger Scott left the Browns he had his right-hand man book a flight directly to G City.
G City
Inside the hotel, what happened at the Browns was the first thing Cornel Brown called to reprimand, but before he could finish, Logan Brown had already hung up and he contacted George Brown, who was able to get it all straightened out.
Logan Brown pursed his lips and said after a moment, “I’m sorry, I didn’t persuade him to let him go.”
What he could not have imagined was that Roger Scott, who had always been a gentleman, would beat someone up himself.
Jacob was listening really well and quickly responded, “I’ll check Mr Scott’s ticket, if he did he would have been here by now.”
Everyone knows Roger Scott’s nature and you don’t have to guess, you just have to know him well enough to know what he does.
“Good.” Logan Brown nodded, seeing him about to leave he couldn’t help but speak up again and call out to stop his movement, “Wait.”
Jacob stopped in his tracks and turned, “What else do you want sir.”
“Don’t let Edward Ford know about this yet, and if Uncle Roger gets off the plane, bring him to me as soon as possible!”
“To here?” Jacob froze, “But the people Edward Ford has arranged are still following me, and I’m worried he’ll think too much of it.”
“Doesn’t matter.” Logan Brown hooked his lips, confident.
Even if he knew, what could he do? Besides, he knew that Roger Scott would get to Edward Ford eventually, it was just a matter of time.
Jacob understood, “Then I’ll check the flights now and have someone pick up Mr Scott.”
“Go ahead.” The man leaned back, his brow furrowed.
As the two men had expected, the man Jacob had arranged to go to had stopped Roger Scott from going straight to Edward Ford just in time, and had also managed to bring the man back inside the hotel.
Roger Scott was now sitting at the hotel coffee table, eyeing Jacob who was pouring tea and wiping his face hard, “Say, what did you want when you stopped me halfway?”
“No.” Logan Brown shook his head, his gaze falling firmly on him, “Not asking what I want to do, but you, what do you want to do?”
Roger Scott grimaced, “Logan, you know my temper, right is right and wrong is wrong.”
“I know.” He nodded.
“If you knew that you shouldn’t have stopped me!” Roger Scott jerked to his feet, and the tea on the table top was tipped over with him, the tea set shattering with a crash.
“Mr Scott!” Jacob rose immediately after him with a jolt.
Roger Scott swept him off his feet, “What, even you want to stop me?”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Jacob bowed his head, “I just think Mr. Scott is in a bit of a hurry, plus, sir is trying to do what’s best for Mr. Scott, he’s worried you’re being too impulsive.”
“So you’re going to let me stand by and watch Elena get aggravated?” He asked rhetorically.
Logan Brown clenched his hand wordlessly, a dark sting flickering beneath his eyes.
Jacob saw it for real and wordlessly pulled Roger Scott aside and lowered his voice, “Mr. Scott, I know you’re worried about the missus, but the gentleman is no less worried.”
He didn’t say anything, but that didn’t mean he didn’t care about anything.
That was the woman he loved, and he was more distraught than anyone else, and more sorrowful than anyone else, so Elena Bush was definitely no less worried than anyone else if she was even slightly hurt.
Roger Scott was quiet for a moment, his eyes flicking to Logan Brown, who had stepped aside.
The man’s body was straight, his face unmoving, but it made Roger Scott’s heart ache.
He squeezed his hand and withdrew his gaze, “Has he been like this all this time?”
“Yeah.” Jacob nodded.
It was like Logan Brown had been taking it out on himself ever since he’d returned from the cemetery, constantly putting himself through a workload he couldn’t even handle, and at this point it was almost overwhelming him!
Roger Scott didn’t look away, but the pain in his eyes couldn’t have been more heartbreaking.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
Because he was the only one who couldn’t get inside his head, and it wasn’t him that he longed for in the deepest part of his heart.
“Mr Scott, so you’re not the only one who’s worried, sir is worried too, he just won’t talk about it, he won’t let anyone know.” Jacob’s voice lowered a few more notches.
Logan Brown was sensitive to the two men’s whispers, and a sharp eye was cast immediately afterwards, “What are you talking about?”
“I …… us?” Jacob immediately put up his guard and was busy shaking his head in denial, “Nothing, I just wanted to talk to Mr Scott about some company business.”
Logan Brown swept a half-hearted glance at Roger Scott, who smiled blandly, “Let’s talk it over.”
Logan Brown tightened his brow, a flash of uncertainty, only to see the latter tap Jacob on the shoulder and whisper, before Jacob quietly retreated leaving space for the two of them.
Roger Scott resumed his seat, not forgetting to say to Logan Brown, “Come here.”
“Uncle Roger, you ……”
“I was being impulsive earlier, but, come to think of it, we haven’t had a proper conversation in a long time.” He had a wistful look on his face.
Logan Brown sat silently at his side, his thin lips curled into a smile some time ago, “Yeah, too, thinking back to the last time we had a good talk?”
It seems …… was when he knew Edward Ford wanted to take Elena Bush, he asked him to troll Edward Ford with five percent of the Brown Group, only to fail to get him to take the bait in the end.
“Logan, let me ask you, does Elena hold a high place in your heart?” Roger Scott looked sideways at him.
“No one is as important to me as she is.”
The man responded without hesitation, his eyes firm, and everyone could see that the look they carried in them could not be questioned by anyone!
“Ha …… ha ha ha ha ……”
Roger Scott burst out laughing, “I was right in my guess, that was all you had to say in reply.”
