Chapter 242 The Conversation
Jacqueline pointed to Elena with a finger, her body trembling, “Elena! It’s not funny to keep lying!”
“How do you know it is a lie?” Elena touched her belly, smiling brightly.
Now Jacqueline was scared by Elena.
Elena looked at George, saying in a low tone, “Grandpa, I have a word in private with Jacqueline.”
George didn’t think it was a good idea to leave them two in a room alone. He looked at Logan, who let go of Elena’s hand quietly. George wanted to persuade Elena. But at last, he decided not to say a word to stop Elena.
“Let’s stay outside for a while. Let them talk.” George said. No one would go against George. They left the room.
“Call me if you need,” said Logan.
Elena nodded.
No one was in the room now except Elena and Jacqueline.
Jacqueline didn’t want to beat about the bush. She sat down and said, “What do you want from me?”
“You know it, right?” Elena said.
Jacqueline tried to play dumb, “I don’t know. Do you still think that I want to kill your baby?”
“In fact, you do.” Elena raised her eyebrows.
Jacqueline laughed; she didn’t argue.
Elena clenched her fists, “I can understand why you want to kill my baby; it may get in your way. But why did you hurt Logan?”
Jacqueline was astonished, looking at her.
“You must be curious how I knew it?”
“No.” She shook her head, “I am not curious. I am thinking that you are not stupid as I thought.”
Elena faked a smile, “I am so stupid. I found it after the surgery was done. At first, I guessed you didn’t do anything to stop the surgery because you didn’t care. However, you ruined his surgery! You broke his hope into pieces!”
Jacqueline said, “You forced me; I have no choice.”
If his surgery was successful, he would come back to the Browns and dominate the business again. Yolanda and she could get nothing at last!
“This isn’t a good excuse! Logan never wanted anything in the Browns. Never! But you came to hurt him again and again!”
“Stop your nonsense. Just tell me what you want to say. I don’t think you just want to know my reason.”
The reason was visible. Logan was a barrier in her life. If she wanted to live a good life in the Browns, she must kick him off! It was her choice; that was the reason.
Elena said to her expressionlessly, “I just want to give you a warning; don’t try to hurt Longa or my baby, or you will pay for it.”
“Oh, really?” Jacqueline didn’t afraid, grinning.
“I will also find out the person who helped you in secret.” Elena leaned back on the pillow, “You can leave now.”
Jacqueline snorted at her. Then she spun on her spiky heels and left the room.
George shouted at her, “Jacqueline! Go home and reflect on what you’ve done!”
Jacqueline was unwilling but she had to listen to George.

In the room, Logan saw Elena smiling at him. But her smile was a bit scary now. She said, “Explain it.”
“What?”
“How do you know about the recording? How do you know she got a helper?”
She knew nothing about it at the beginning. But after Jacob got the bug from her phone, she figured out what happened. And Logan tried to hide it from her.
At first, he realized his phone was bugged. So he deliberately exposed his plan to the man who was eavesdropping on their conversation. And the man exposed himself because of the recording he sent to Jacqueline. So at last, Logan killed two birds with one stone.
But Longa didn’t answer her directly. He pinched her cheek and asked, “Why do you ask me that?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Elena was unhappy, “Hey! Tell me your real plan.”
“I just guess she must have a helper, but I don’t know who the man is.”
Elena put her hand on his legs, “Your surgery failed…They did it, right?”
“Yes.” Logan nodded. Her hands balled up into fists so tight. “How dare they…”
“Don’t be upset. They will pay for it. And Jacqueline can’t get away with it this time.” Logan tried to soothe her fiery mood, “You know, Grandpa can't bear it if he knows what she has done to us.”
Elena asked, “You mean…”
“I mean she is going to suffer. Grandpa will punish her.” He wanted to let George know that if he didn’t do anything to stop Jacqueline, she would try every means to kill this baby until she succeeded.
Elena suddenly understood his plan, looking at Logan, “You played an awesome trick! Kill three birds with one stone.” He was so smart to deal with three people this time, Grandpa, Jacqueline, and the man behind!
Logan gave a kiss on her cheek, and said, “Jacqueline deserves it. I just want to protect your baby.” He continued, “Babe…you are so important to me. I will always protect you at any cost!”
Elena saw the determination in his eyes. She held his hands tightly, answering him with a determined nod. “I will also stand by your side, no matter what!”
Logan smiled, rubbing her nose, “Thank you. My silly girl.”
Elena pursed her lips, “Hey, I am not silly! I even figured out your plan myself!”
“Okay. You are clever.”
She leaned on him again. Looking at his legs, she felt so sorry and sorrowful. He was a human after all. But Jacqueline treated him as an enemy who swore to steal all the wealth from her in the Browns, so she set him up, and robbed him of the chance to walk or stand as an ordinary man could do.
Logan had no idea what she was thinking now. He rubbed her head slightly with affection.
