Chapter 335 Uneasy
Logan smiled and unwaveringly walked out. Zach shrugged and followed behind.
The two of them left together. Sophia still reluctantly told her that she must attend her wedding. It took Elena several confirmations to make Sophia feel assured.
After getting in the car, Elena had time to ask, “Why is Grandpa wanting us to go back?”
“It almost the New Year, and George thought we would stay at home for a few days and go back on the second day of the new year.” He appropriately concealed Jacqueline’s matters.
Elena didn’t doubt him, so she checked the calendar and realized it was just a few days away.
Inside the Brown family, when the two returned, night had just arrived, but the car drove into the brightly lit Brown’s Villa.
George waited in the yard. When he saw the car, his tight face suddenly bloomed like flowers. Both Jacqueline and Yolanda could see clearly it in the house. The two looked at each other. The jealousy and hatred could be clearly seen!
Elena and Logan got out of the car and went to help George, “It’s cold, why don’t you stay in the house, why are you standing here?”
“I wanted to see you soon.” George patted Elena’s hand, and when he looked at her, he was full of affection.
Elena looked displeased, “Then you have to stay in the house. There is at least a heater inside. It’s cold and snowy outside. Your body is already weak. What if you get frostbite?”
George didn’t care, “I’m not so squeamish.”
Elena sulked; she couldn’t win him in talking so she could only keep quiet.
George saw it, so he could only change his words, “How about this, I won’t be like this next time.”
“That’s better.”
Elena looked at George’s appearance and couldn’t help but exhorted, “Grandpa George, don’t mind me for nagging too much. You have to take good care of your body no matter what. Your health is your priority. We said that we would come, it’s not like we didn’t, so you didn’t have to wait for us.”
George listened, repeatedly agreed.
Cornel sat on the sofa and couldn’t stand it. “Dad, some people don’t accept your affection. Yet you still went through all the trouble, and you don’t even feel tired.”
George turned his head when he heard it and looked at him, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all!”
Cornel looked away gloomily and ordered the servants, “Go to the car and bring the young master’s things to his room!”
George took Elena’s hand, “Ignore them, you didn’t eat when you came over right?”
Elena nodded and smiled, “Haven’t.”
“That’s great, the family is waiting, we can eat together!”
Logan brushed away George’s hand and sat him down, “Grandpa George, don’t worry about it, sit down!”
When Logan and Elena came out after washing their hands, the people who should be seated were already seated. To her surprise, Jacqueline was also there.
As though she sensed her gaze, Jacqueline turned her face and smiled at her.
Elena quickly smiled back and sat in her seat. At the table, Jacqueline was extremely eager, she said what George liked to listen to. Yolanda suddenly said, “Grandpa, mom had stayed in the courtyard for a long time. You also said it’s almost the Chinese New Year, can we... Let Mom spend time with us in the main house too?”
The sudden request made George’s face turn bad, and the atmosphere on the dining table was also a little stiff.
Elena lowered her head to eat, pretending to not hear.
“Grandpa George.” Logan’s thin lips lightly opened.
Jacqueline’s heart twitched and immediately looked at George.
George said, “What’s the matter?”
“I heard that the Brown Group is planning to do some re-financing recently?”
Logan’s voice slowly spat out those words, not only Jacqueline, but Yolanda’s heart also lifted immediately, it almost popped out of her throat.
George frowned, “I have not cared about such stuff for a long time. If you want to ask, you should also ask your dad!”
Cornel was mentioned suddenly, and he was taken aback for a moment, “Who did you hear it from? The Brown Group doesn’t have such plans lately. We just want to stabilize, and we will make other plans in a few years.”
“Really?” Logan’s eyebrows seemed to be smiling, “I probably misheard it. I was at a friend’s place a few days ago. He seemed to say that the Brown Group had such plans recently, so I just casually asked.”
Yolanda swallowed hard and when she saw Cornel’s inclination to continue to ask questions, she shouted anxiously, “Dad!” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Cornel was shocked by the sudden disruption, and displayed his displeasure, “I’m listening!”
“I...”
Yolanda stuttered as she couldn’t come up with a reason for her interruption. Under the table, Jacqueline grabbed her hand and made her answer immediately, “Dad, it’s not easy for our family to have a meal together. Can we not mention the company matters?”
“Well, let’s eat.” Cornel lowered his head and stopped speaking.
Logan smiled slightly and nodded, “Why are you so anxious, Yolanda? I just heard that you took a sum of money from the finance side, so I thought you were thinking about re-financing, or...”
George looked at Yolanda vigilantly, “When did it happen!?”
“Grandpa George...” Yolanda panicked, she tried to suppress the uneasy look on her face, and smiled, “You’re thinking too much, when did I do it? Brother, you might have heard it wrongly. Or your friend was talking nonsense!”
George looked suspicious.
Logan regained his gaze from time to time, “Well, I misunderstood it.”
Logan’s words caused the suspicious eyes of several people to fall on Yolanda. Yolanda was uneasy but she had to pretend that nothing happened.
Seeing that she couldn’t hold it in, Jacqueline immediately stood up and said, “I suddenly recalled that there is still something being cooked in the kitchen. Yolanda, go and remind those in the kitchen, lest they forget about it!”
it was as though Yolanda received an order, she abruptly stood up and walked out, sighing in relief when she completely left the table.
George obviously didn’t intend to just let it go, especially since Yolanda’s attitude made him suspicious.
“Logan, what’s with the matter that you just said? From whom did you hear about it?”
“Dad... we’re still eating,” Jacqueline called out.
George stared back, “Did I stop you from eating!? I didn’t ask you, so shut up!”
Jacqueline gritted her teeth, her body shuddered a few times, and she didn’t know if it was anger or fear.
“Just now?” Logan put down the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes were calm, “Grandpa George wants to know?”
“Of course! Even if I am not managing the company, but if something happens to it, I will have to take care of it anyway!”
Jacqueline closed her eyes, lowered her head, she didn’t dare to look up at all. She could even vaguely feel the cold stare from Logan’s eyes above her head!
