Roger Scott was furious and then quickly went back to the hotel and knocked directly on Logan Brown’s door.
As if waiting for him, the door was opened just as soon as he knocked, and Roger Scott, without noticing anything else, walked straight in and counted off, “Logan, you sent me to the restaurant today, and when I went there you know what I ran into …… ”
“Yes.”
“You know?” Roger Scott had a flash of surprise.
The latter nodded, “Jacob and Edward Ford were they?”
The man’s words had only just left his mouth and Roger Scott was already utterly confused, his head had almost followed him into chaos, “What’s going on? You knew, so why did you pretend you didn’t know anything, or did you say ……”
“Uncle Roger,” Logan Brown interrupted, slightly apologetic, “I’m sorry, I may need to ask you to apologise to him some other time.”
“What?”
“False.”
Logan Brown’s sultry gaze fell on him, “Jacob going to the Fords Group was my arrangement, it’s just that, in order to make the play more real, I had to condescend to you.”
“This ……” Roger Scott could hardly believe what he was hearing and thought of his own hard and harsh words and was tempted to slap himself twice to take back his earlier words.
Looking at Roger Scott’s reaction, Logan Brown vaguely guessed what had happened and still couldn’t help but say, slightly apologetically, “I’m sorry.”
“Ugh!” Roger Scott sat bolt upright on the sofa, “What’s all this talk about, just in case Jacob got aggravated.”
“He’ll know exactly what I’m trying to do, apologise to him afterwards.”
Logan Brown squeezed his hands together wordlessly, suppressing his own desire to contact Jacob at that moment as well.
Roger Scott let out a long sigh, “It’s just that, it would be best if he understood, and besides, it’s already happened, there’s no point in talking about it.”
“Yeah.” Logan Brown responded and waved his hand, “Uncle Roger, thank you for your time today.”
“I’ll go back first then.” The latter got up immediately.
Logan Brown nodded his head, but at the end of his speech, he said, “By the way, you have to put on a full show, no matter what, it’s better not to show your face yet.”
“I understand.” Roger Scott knew the reason for this.
Seeing this, Logan Brown was slightly relieved.
Jacob stood in front of Elena Bush at that moment, looking at her stunned look with some guilt and bowing his head.
“Ma’am ……” he moved his lips, “I know you’re blaming me in your mind, it’s just that I’m this ……”
“There’s no need to say it.”
“Ma’am ……”
“That’s enough!”
Elena Bush looked away, “I don’t blame you, the path is yours to take, it’s up to you what path to choose and how to take it, we can’t make your decisions for you, let alone …… imprison you for the rest of your life.”
Edward Ford was right, he was young and ambitious, so there was nothing wrong with going for his own interests.
Jacob looked at her and even though she didn’t say it, it was still clear that she was angry.
The two were at a standstill for a moment before he was the first to speak up and break the silence, “Ma’am, I’d like to say sorry anyway.”
And with that, the man retreated wordlessly.
Edward Ford, who had been staying outside the door, gave him a look and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, “All right, let’s not worry about these things in future.”
“Yes, Mr Ford.” Jacob nodded his head.
Edward Ford was pleased with his attitude and nodded repeatedly, “Go on, my assistant has arranged for a car to pick you up outside, you can go straight to the Fords Group and he will show you around the company as soon as possible.”
Jacob’s mind was clear and he didn’t dare delay, leaving the hospital quickly.
When Edward Ford re-entered the ward, Elena Bush had her head hanging low, not looking at him.
auntie Julie stood aside and looked over as well when she caught his gaze, then heard the man’s voice, “Come out here.”
auntie Julie hesitated for a moment, a little uneasy about Elena Bush, only to see the latter say blandly, “You don’t need to guard me.”
In fact, she didn’t like auntie Julie being in the room all the time.
“Come out! Don’t make me say the words a second time.” Edward Ford’s voice had followed with a coldness that would not allow any questioning.
auntie Julie could not but trail behind him.
It took a while to walk out of the ward before Edward Ford stopped, and when he turned around, the harsh eyes were locked dead on hers, “What did Jacob say to Elena in the ward?”
“Mr Jacob?”
auntie Julie was a little confused, but before she could ask the question out loud, the man had already taken the lead, “Who else but him?”
auntie Julie looked at the unimpressed Edward Ford and straightened her face a little before shaking her head blankly, “Nothing, Mr Jacob just kept apologising when he saw Madame, saying it was just for his own future and Miss Elena didn’t say anything.”
“She wasn’t angry?”
“No.” auntie Julie thought back carefully and shook her head after all, “Miss Elena is a lot more laid back than I thought she would be, and I don’t know what’s going on, she’s been getting colder and colder lately, she’s been ignoring everyone, even I used to be quite uncomfortable around me, now she just acts like she doesn’t see me.”
auntie Julie was also aggrieved.
Edward Ford lapsed into silence for a moment, and after a moment waved his hand at her, “All right, you go on back.”
“Is that all Mr Ford wanted to ask?”
“When is it your turn to be in charge of my business!” Edward Ford shot her a fierce look.
Julie, feeling intimidated, ducked her head and stumbled back into the ward.
Elena Bush was about to ask Logan Brown to confirm something, but before she could dial auntie Julie was already back, looking at her with a light smile on her face, “Miss Elena, do you know what Mr Ford has just said to me?”
“No idea, and not interested.”
Elena Bush lifted the covers over her head as soon as she could, looking as if she didn’t care about anything.
auntie Julie had also gotten used to spending time with her like this and wordlessly sat down in front of her bed, “I see Mr Ford is still unsure about you after all, even Jacob came to talk to you and asked all the questions. ”
“Don’t you ever try to persuade me again.” Elena Bush pulled down the covers and met her gaze deeply, “auntie Julie, I don’t know whether you are really saying this to help me or whether you are testing me on Edward Ford’s behalf, only, whichever it is, no amount of talk from you will be of any use to me!”
Not for anything else, but because there were very few people in the world she could trust, and only one man she could trust with her life, Logan Brown!
Others, presuming to speculate on her mind or trying to compel her into anything. Sometimes, after eating too many losses, one naturally grows a memory, like …… is now.
