If Joanna Lake were still alive and knew that Elena Bush had endured all this for her, I’m afraid even she wouldn’t feel better.
Edward Ford’s body was shaking, not sure if it was from holding back or from anger.
He clenched his teeth and glared angrily at him word for word, “What do you know, you know nothing, who are you to accuse me of anything?”
“That’s because you’ve done wrong, that’s why I had to remind you ……”
“No need for you to remind me!” Edward Ford waved him off, “Roger Scott, take back that hypocritical look, Elena is my daughter and it has nothing to do with you!”
“Really?”
Roger Scott gave him a sudden grin, “You think we don’t have a relationship, but with me …… whenever I meddle in something, it must be with me!”
Edward Ford tightened his brow dangerously and looked at him warily, “What do you mean by that?”
“Simple, you can’t treat her right, then I’m going to have to take her away, take my daughter, Elena Bush!” Roger Scott’s words were spoken in a wordy voice in case he didn’t hear them properly.
Edward Ford’s eyes flashed coldly, “Roger Scott, what are you talking about?”
“You’ll understand when I’ve taken her away!” Roger Scott got up and pushed off and headed outside.
Edward Ford subconsciously tried to go after him, but the next moment the study door was opened again and the assistant rushed in, looking panicked, “President Ford!”
“What is it!”
“I ……” the assistant was panting and was scared out of his wits in the face of Edward Ford’s roar. The lawyer said …… that the information does not match the signature and real name of the woman on the divorce papers ……”
Edward Ford’s heart subconsciously stuttered, thinking of Roger Scott, who had just said he was taking Elena Bush, his heart kept growing with unease, “Tell me! What the hell is going on?”
“What …… means is that Miss Elena’s name is not Elena Bush at all, but, instead, she has changed her name to Elena Scott, and …… the lawyer has said that the divorce papers will still be can be valid, but only with the approval of the person ……”
So ……
They hadn’t even got divorced yet!
Edward Ford suddenly realised something and the feeling of being lied to came over him, “Damn it! Go! Bring Roger Scott and Elena Bush to me, and don’t let him take her!”
“Yes!” With a jolt, the assistant didn’t have time to think about it and immediately took off in pursuit of Roger Scott.
“Bang!”
Elena Bush was still brooding in the room when a loud bang came and auntie Julie stood innocently outside the door shaking her head at her, “Miss Elena, no, it wasn’t me ……”
However, the latter’s attention was not on him in the slightest, but on the middle aged man to one side, “Uncle Roger, you ……”
Roger Scott shook his head at her and corrected, “It’s not Uncle Roger, it’s Papa Roger.”
Elena Bush’s eyes flashed, vaguely guessing what was going on, and shook her head at him in the same way, then rushed to him and kept pushing him out the door, “You’re not fit to be here right now, go back, go to Logan Brown ……”
“I’m not leaving!” Roger Scott snapped her hand back, “Elena, I came over here today to try and get you out of here, there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.”
“No, that’s not it ……” she looked tense.
He couldn’t take her away, Edward Ford had done more ruthlessly than she thought, so he couldn’t stay here ……
“Why?” Roger Scott stopped in his tracks, “Elena, that’s the only reason I came over here today, why not? Edward Ford has never treated you like a daughter at all, do you understand that!?”
It was too soon for Edward Ford’s thoughts to show, but if it was longer, he might not treat her that way.
Elena Bush clenched her stupidity and nodded and shook her head, “Uncle Roger, that’s my business anyway, and I don’t want me to get you involved.”
She let go of his hand and pushed him further away, “You listen to me and go first, I’ll contact you, I will!”
“No!” Roger Scott looked at her with a growing sense that something was wrong.
As he spoke, the assistant had appeared in front of her stopping both of them at the same time, “Miss Elena, Mr Scott, President Ford has asked you to come.”
Elena Bush subconsciously stepped in front of Roger Scott, a wary look in her eyes, “What does Edward Ford want again?”
The assistant met her gaze with a helpless sigh and replied, “Miss Elena, shouldn’t your heart know best what you’ve been doing without the President Ford’s knowledge?”
“I ……”
Elena Bush looked down at her bulging belly, unease couldn’t help but follow the surge of worry.
Roger Scott tightened his grip on her hand, silently giving her strength, “Elena, don’t worry, Edward Ford won’t hurt you.”
Elena Bush tried to smile, but couldn’t.
Yes, Edward Ford wouldn’t hurt her, never even wanted to hurt her, but …… he was constantly thinking of cutting her baby out of her world forever!
The assistant, seeing that her heart knew what was going on, silently made a gesture of invitation and said, “Miss Elena, President Ford is still waiting for you up there.”
Elena Bush clenched her lower lip and pushed Roger Scott’s hand away, “You tell him to go back first, I’ll go see him myself.”
“That won’t work, President Ford was talking about you two!” The assistant reminded her as she bit off a few extra words.
Roger Scott shook his head even more firmly, “I’m here to take you away, how can I leave so easily!?”
“Uncle Roger, please listen to me!” Elena Bush was equally uncompromising, “If you don’t leave, I will blame myself for the rest of my life, and even more so, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!”
“Elena ……”
“Dad!” Elena Bush lowered her voice coldly, her determined look tinged with a hint of pleading, “Just think of it as me begging you, leave here, he won’t do anything to me.”
Roger Scott hesitated, as if weighing the weight of it.
Elena Bush had somehow tightened her grip on his arm again, tightening it noiselessly at this point, but also trembling.
The assistant had a difficult look on her face, seeing that Roger Scott’s expression had loosened up even more, “Miss Elena, Mr Scott can’t leave just yet, President Ford ……”
“Not if he says so!” Elena Bush immediately turned her head and glared at him, “If there’s any comment you tell him to come down now, not for us to get to him!”
“That ……”
The assistant lowered his head at the comment and didn’t issue any more retorts.
Elena Bush silently pulled Roger Scott and headed out the door, only handing him over to the butler who stepped aside when they reached the front door.
