“Why don’t you let her finish her sentence?”
Behind her, Elena Bush’s voice was surprisingly calm.
When Mason Bush turned to look at her, he almost thought the words hadn’t come out of her mouth in general.
In the silence, Elena Bush had lifted her face, “You knew about Joanna Lake, didn’t you, and you told Jacqueline about Joanna Lake?”
Mason Bush couldn’t deny it.
“If you told everyone, why couldn’t you tell me? What was the hidden agenda back then?” She stepped in closer, her expression following the seriousness of the situation.
Mason Bush’s back was to her, and she could not see his expression.
After a long time, the mournful voice simply said, “You don’t need to know yet, so instead of thinking about that, you should be thinking about how to protect yourself.”
“Wait!”
Elena Bush looked at him urgently, her head filled with the desire to know the truth.
Mason Bush gave her no hope and went back to the table and ate the rest of her meal in silence.
Emma Bush just felt a little weird and couldn’t help but look at him a few more times, “Did you just talk to her?”
“Yeah.” Mason Bush replied matter-of-factly, not half-heartedly.
Emma Bush immediately clenched her hand, “What did you say to her? What is there to say between you!?”
Mason Bush immediately put down his chopsticks with a serious look on his face, “Emma, don’t think too much about it.”
“I didn’t ……” she rubbed her face to hide her suspicion.
Mason Bush looked at her with a loving look on his face, “Emma, you and I have gone out on a limb, what is there to worry about when it comes down to it?”
“I’m just scared ……”
Inexplicably, she always felt that Mason Bush’s attitude had changed since she saw Elena Bush, making her uneasy, she was afraid …… that in the end she would end up betraying her even though she trusted her loved ones with all her heart and soul ……
“Emma, don’t be afraid!” Mason Bush held her hand tightly, the long-wrinkled face incomparably calm, “No matter what, I will still be on your side in the end.”
His promise-like words put her mind at ease slightly.
At the end, she forced a smile in front of him and nodded, “Dad, thank you for always being there.”
Mason Bush patted the palm of her hand and just shook his head at her.
He, who had lied to her ……
“Sir?” Jacob patted Logan Brown’s shoulder, “Why don’t you just take a break?”
Several people had only just arrived in H City and everyone was tired, but so far Logan Brown still had no intention of resting, making him worry.
Logan Brown looked down at the sleeping child in his arms and said, “It’s okay, you can take him back to his room first.”
He didn’t sleep well when he was always in his arms.
Jacob did as he was told and carefully took the baby and headed for the bedroom.
The bedroom door had only just closed when a message came through on his phone, an address that Logan Brown remembered, it was Yolanda’s grave.
“Jacqueline and Emma Bush are really getting real this time, and they’re not thinking of making you pay for it with your death, are they?” Zach Stone popped up with half a head, his eyes falling on his phone screen, taking in the message all too clearly.
“I don’t know.” Logan Brown returned faintly.
What kept coming to his ears were Jacqueline’s words before she left G City.
What they want is not for him to die, but to make it more difficult for him to live than to die ……
Zach Stone turned and fell back onto the fluffy couch in one fell swoop with a comfortable whimper before speaking, “So what should we do now?”
The man hung his head, his downcast eyes flashing sharply, “Pull Jacqueline in and get her on our side.”
“Pfft!”
Zach Stone nearly choked on his own saliva and his entire body fell off the couch.
He looked at him incredulously and couldn’t help but speak in amazement, “Logan Brown, what were you thinking? That Jacqueline is on our side? How can that be!”
She wanted to kill Logan Brown as a tribute to Yolanda, so how could she possibly talk to them properly?
Logan Brown’s bony hand tapped on the armrest of his wheelchair a few times, and under Zach Stone’s watchful eye, he didn’t hesitate to explain, “I can’t, but there is one person who can.”
“Who?”
“Yolanda.”
“But isn’t Yolanda dead?” Zach Stone still didn’t understand what he had in mind and couldn’t keep up with his thinking.
The latter gave him a nonchalant sweep, then drew back his eyes and dialed the mobile phone number he’d sent the message from earlier directly.
Zach Stone immediately went silent and sneaked closer to him, pressing himself against his other side to listen for Jacqueline’s response.
On the phone, Jacqueline’s muffled voice reached his eardrums, “Logan Brown, are you in such a hurry? Can’t even wait a little while?”
The man didn’t beat around the bush and cut to the chase, “Jacqueline, interested in knowing about Yolanda’s death?”
Jacqueline stared, then gritted her teeth, “Wasn’t she the one you forced to die? Now, don’t think you can say anything else to make me feel better, I already know what’s on your mind!”
“And what if I have proof?”
“What proof!?”
Jacqueline’s face suddenly went alert and she looked around, fortunately she was out, Emma Bush and Mason Bush were still watching Elena Bush.
Logan Brown’s look was serious and his tone even, “Let’s find somewhere we can talk first, I’ll send the evidence to your phone too.”
Jacqueline squeezed her hand tighter, not willing to acknowledge what he said in any way, “Why should I believe you?”
“Once you’ve seen the video, you’ll naturally understand.”
“Sh……”
Before Jacqueline could finish her words, Logan Brown once again took over, “If after watching it, you’re interested in working together, I’d welcome it.”
After saying that, he didn’t wait for the other party’s response and already cut the phone off straight away.
After hanging up the phone, Logan Brown turned his head and saw Zach Stone looking at him, so he urged, “What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”
“Go?” Zach Stone looked confused, “Go, go where?”
“……”
Exasperated and annoyed, Logan Brown raised his hand and tapped him on the head, “Go and send the video of Yolanda before she died to Jacqueline!”
“Ah!”
Zach Stone woke up as if he had been on edge for a few days, and was now too nervous to turn around, so he turned on his computer and flipped out the video and sent it directly to the phone number Logan Brown had given him.
On the other hand, Jacqueline was only a little suspicious.
But it wasn’t until the screen showed Yolanda coming down from a high building and being pushed off again that her whole body shook involuntarily, her hand clutching the phone nearly falling to the ground, her eyes filled with an unconcealed hatred!
Yolanda hadn’t killed herself at all, but had been pushed down by ……?
