Edward Ford was dumbfounded, not even daring to look at what kind of expression Elena Bush was actually wearing at this moment ……
Elena Bush was biting her bottom lip, her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn’t find any words to describe how she was feeling at that moment.
Mason Bush looked at her worriedly, afraid that she might break down from the excitement, and his eyes were fixed on her nervously, not daring to look away.
And after an unknown amount of time, she snorted out a laugh immediately, “Heh ……”
“Elena ……” Mason Bush’s heart snapped up, “Are you, okay?”
“Yeah, fine.” She nodded, her face unreadable as to what was really going on in her mind.
Edward Ford was still talking about the good things he and Joanna Lake had done for each other, but the pain on his face never dissipated.
“Come on, it’s all trivial, there’s no point in talking about it now, if you want to settle scores, go to hell and settle them one by one!”
Jacqueline, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, waving her hand straight.
Emma Bush immediately became nervous, “Jacqueline, you’re not thinking of killing us at this time, are you?”
“Or what?” Jacqueline asked rhetorically, “What do you have to live for?”
“But ……”
“Nothing but!”
“Jacqueline! Elena Bush now thoroughly hates Edward Ford! She’s never going to go with Edward Ford, never! So instead of pinning your hopes on him, why don’t you choose me and I’ll help you, help you get rid of them all!”
Emma Bush tried desperately to convince Jacqueline.
Jacqueline didn’t answer, instead she threw the question to Edward Ford, “Edward Ford, the deal you and I made before, does it still stand?”
Edward Ford was silent for a moment and when he raised his face again he said firmly, “Yes!”
“Why!?” Emma Bush shouted in disbelief, “Edward Ford, are you stupid, Elena Bush won’t even agree, she already hates you, she hates you for making Joanna Lake unable to see the world straight for the rest of her life, and now you’re going to trade Logan Brown’s death for hers, she’ll never in her life Forgive you!”
“If that’s the case, it’s my business, not yours!”
Edward Ford glared at her, almost as if he were about to eat her, and she drew in a cold breath of fear and immediately looked to Mason Bush for help.
Mason Bush moved wordlessly and moved in front of her and patted her palm.
Seeing this, Emma Bush was slightly relieved.
Edward Ford looked over at the pale Elena Bush and said in one word, “I told you, no matter what, I want her alive!”
Jacqueline responded as if she was afraid he would back out, “Good! Then I’ll work with you, and you have to promise me that you’ll never break our promise!”
“Of course.” Edward Ford said briskly.
Jacqueline laughed, then looked at the time and said, “It’s about time, it’s time to go, to save any surprises.”
Edward Ford nodded, “I’ll get the car.”
Jacqueline was not the least bit suspicious at this point and handed him the keys straight away.
The latter took them and looked at them, before going to the car and walking up to Elena Bush and speaking slowly, “Elena , I know you hate me, but I don’t mind you hating me ……”
“Do you?” Elena Bush spoke self-deprecatingly, not sure if it was a laugh or something else ……
Edward Ford squeezed his palms together, taking back all the emotions in his mind.
Jacqueline stayed behind, facing a few people.
Emma Bush, seeing that Edward Ford was no longer there, could not help but say with a glimmer of hope again, “Jacqueline, how about we talk it over again?”
“I have nothing to talk about with you, besides you don’t have any leverage on your hands!”
Jacqueline clearly didn’t believe every word she said!
“I do!”
Emma Bush spoke urgently, “You give me time and I’ll prove I can help you, how are you going to live the rest of your life in the future looking like this? Won’t you scare people if you go out? How about my dad and I take care of you? We’ll be your cattle and horses!”
“No need!” Jacqueline gave her a sidelong glance and resolutely refused!
She took a step forward and placed the gun against her temple.
Mason Bush looked horrified, just before he could make a move Jacqueline’s eyes were already looking over, “Mason Bush, you’re going to have to take it easy, just the slightest flick and there’s no guarantee that my hand won’t shake oh …… ”
“You ……” Mason Bush gritted his teeth and calmed down, “Jacqueline, I’ll do anything you want as long as you leave us alone!”
“Let go? She’s the real killer of my daughter! How can you ask me to let her go!” Jacqueline looked straight at him, and her voice rose a few notches, with an unmistakable coldness!
Mason Bush’s whole body shuddered involuntarily, he couldn’t stand by and watch Emma Bush die in front of him ……
Emma Bush gritted her teeth and retorted reluctantly, “You can even forgive Elena Bush, so why won’t you forgive me? Besides, if I hadn’t done that in the first place you would have been dead, Yolanda would have been dead, and where else would you have had the chance to take revenge!”
If it hadn’t been for her …… she would have been a lonely ghost too!
Emma Bush’s words instantly felt like they had touched Jacqueline’s scales, her hands had already pulled the trigger and the gun was pointed at her, “So that’s why you can kill her mercilessly and still say these things with impunity?”
Just because she could let her live, Yolanda’s death was justified, and she wasn’t at all at fault ……
Emma Bush subconsciously tried to nod, but couldn’t help but immediately shake her head violently again when she met her grim, terrifying gaze.
She smiled sardonically and said stiffly, “How could I? I was helpless about Yolanda’s death. Besides, I didn’t mean to do it, I was just careless, really …… Later, it had happened and I had no choice but to hide it from you ……”
The sneer on Jacqueline’s face deepened as she watched her look of hypocrisy.
Mason Bush tugged on her sleeve and reprimanded in a whisper, “Emma Bush, stop it!”
Jacqueline would have killed her if she had said one more word, not to mention the fact that after all that she had said, she hadn’t acknowledged her mistake and was just trying to get rid of her responsibility!
Mason Bush knew how to read people’s faces, but Emma Bush was too young to notice anything wrong and thought Mason Bush was getting in her way, so she shook his hand off in anger and said coldly, “Dad, will you stop being so annoying! Don’t drag me if you want to die, I want to live, I’m still young, I don’t want to die!”
