“How did you …… you ……”
Emma Bush didn’t know what expression to put on her face…….
The sneer under Jacqueline’s eyes deepened, “What, you didn’t expect that, did you?”
She hadn’t expected that Yolanda, whom she had spoiled for most of her life, would end up dead at Emma Bush’s hands! Even she had been with the murderer all along, that was the most ridiculous thing of all!
“No, it’s not like that!” Emma Bush shook her head quickly, “You must have misunderstood something, it’s definitely not what you think it is!”
“Emma Bush, do you think I can believe anything you say when it comes down to it?” She looked at her, her eyes tinged with detachment.
Emma Bush’s heart thudded and she couldn’t help but feel frightened.
She didn’t know how to deal with the change before her, and she didn’t know how to convince Jacqueline ……
But how could anyone possibly want to help her daughter’s murderer at this very moment?
Despair spread throughout her body, filling her with helplessness, and she was even more remorseful when the momentum was gone!
In the middle of the stalemate, a nice voice dropped, “Edward Ford ……”
Edward Ford immediately looked at the voice and his eyes fell on Elena Bush.
She hadn’t been seen for a few days and was now covered in bruises, the marks on her cheeks were even more pronounced, making him suck in a cold breath and wish he could kill everyone here who had bullied her right now!
Elena Bush squeezed her palms and her body struggled a little, breaking free of Jacqueline.
She swept a glance at Jacqueline and then at Mason Bush, then slowly spoke again, “Let Mason Bush go and you go.”
“How can that be!” Edward Ford stomped his foot, “I came here to take you away, if I leave on my own ……”
“Is it useful for you to stay here if you don’t leave?” She asked rhetorically.
Edward Ford was suddenly blocked from answering.
He had to admit that there was not a single thing he could do at the moment, there was nothing he could do to stop Jacqueline, and even more unexpectedly, there was another layer of hatred trapped between them, that Jacqueline would be even less likely to make the sacrifice for Mason Bush ……
Elena Bush’s voice was unmistakably calm and collected as she smiled, “Go away, once you’re gone you can go back and tell Logan Brown not to come looking for me or fall for it, Jacqueline won’t let me go, he’s here too …… ”
Her words came to a screeching halt.
That’s because Jacqueline’s hand was around her throat, making it impossible for her to make a sound!
“Elena Bush, when did it become your turn to speak here? And …… you and I should know that I want revenge, and how can I possibly rest without Logan Brown?”
“Jacqueline, you let her go!” Edward Ford spoke through gritted teeth, his words taking on an urgency.
Jacqueline grunted and laughed, shrugging her off without slowing down, then said coldly, “Who are you to order me around?”
Edward Ford squeezed his hand tighter, “I let Mason Bush go, you let her go first, and we can move on to other deals!”
“What other qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?” Jacqueline glanced at him, clearly not taking him seriously, “Edward Ford, this is H City, not G City, I still have Elena Bush, what do you think you can offer me?”
“Don’t you want Logan Brown’s life? I’ll help you!”
At the words, Jacqueline immediately let go of Elena Bush’s neck, interest rising in her eyes, “You help me?”
“Yes!” Edward Ford nodded, “I’m helping you, you and I have the same agenda, we both see Logan Brown as a thorn in our side, it would be a good thing for me if he was dead, and I only want Elena Bush for myself!”
“Why should I trust you?” Jacqueline looked suspicious.
Edward Ford looked at her and asked rhetorically, “Why don’t you trust me? Since you’ve stayed at the Ford all this time, you should know exactly how much I hate Logan Brown and how much I wish he’d disappear from the world!”
Jacqueline thought back carefully and realised that this was indeed the case ……
Edward Ford took advantage of the situation and continued, “Jacqueline, if you did kill someone, kill Elena , you would never survive either, but you work with me differently, I can escort you out of H City and give you a fortune to live your life without worries!”
You can take revenge and still live the rest of your life in peace.
What a tempting offer ……
Jacqueline was genuinely moved, she had watched the open and shut battle between Logan Brown and Edward Ford from start to finish, so she knew full well the nasty relationship between the two ……
But could she, really, trust him?
“Jacqueline, trust me! Mason Bush and Emma Bush are of no use to you, but I can help you, I have the money, the power, I can get you anything you want!”
“No!”
Emma Bush couldn’t help but panic as she grabbed her trouser leg and wouldn’t let go, “Jacqueline, have you forgotten, Elena Bush is a bitch, she’s a scourge, have you forgotten how much you and Yolanda have suffered at her expense! You can’t just leave her alone, you can’t ……”
Jacqueline looked down at her struggling form without hesitation and kicked her hard.
Emma Bush was once again kicked aside, narrowly avoiding getting up.
Jacqueline laughed coldly, “Emma Bush, look at you, you can’t even stand up, how are you going to help me? What’s more, you’re the culprit! And Elena Bush has really done nowhere near as much as you have!”
She could spare Elena Bush as a way of giving herself a life.
Edward Ford was right, she was selfish, she couldn’t afford to die, she had a great life ahead of her, she’d lived enough of this inhuman life, it was time to get something for herself anyway ……
“I don’t agree!” Elena Bush squeezed her palms together, her nails embedded in her palms.
She looked coldly at Edward Ford with invisible resistance in her eyes, “Edward Ford, I will not do as you wish, even if I were to die, I will not let you sacrifice Logan Brown for my peace!”
Not to mention ……
If it did, she couldn’t even imagine how she was supposed to live, she would remember for the rest of her life that she had traded her life for Logan Brown’s, for his!
Jacqueline kicked her in the waist in displeasure, “It’s not up to you to say yes or no! The decision is up to me.”
“But if I die, you won’t have anything to trade with will you?” She smiled suddenly, with a look of determination in her eyes, as if she had already made some decision.
Jacqueline’s heart stuttered, and before she could guess what she was going to do, the heavy smell of blood around her kept spreading through her nostrils ……
She looked in shock, only to see that the handcuffed hands had long since been stained red, a red that stung everyone’s eyes!
