Chapter 65 Ask for Reward
Chapter 65 Ask for Reward
Mason was going to sleep when he suddenly received the call from Emma.
She was crying. "Dad, help me…"
Mason was the only person Emma could resort to. In her opinion, at least Elena respected him. Anyway, Elena might forgive her for the sake of Mason.
That night, Emma came back to her home without telling Jeremy. When she woke up in the morning, Ogden’s family was destroyed as expected. All dirty deeds the Turners had done were dug up completely.
Seeing how miserably they ended up, Emma was scared for herself. She couldn’t fall asleep easily and even if she did, she would clearly sense that a pair of freezing eyes were fixed on her and frightened her in these nightmares.
…
Reading the newspaper, Elena showed a grim look. She had known Ogden was disgusting, but she couldn’t believe he had ruined so many people’s lives! Thinking of these poor people, she felt furious and clenched her fists in anger.
"What makes you so mad?" Logan pinched her grim face gently.
Elena blushed and answered. "It is Ogden. He is such an bastard!"
No, he was so much worse than a bastard. He was a monster.
"He thought he was cautious and left no traces. That’s so naive. He must pay for his crimes."
"Right. He might be lucky and get away once. However, he never stops and repeatedly commits crimes. He will be held accountable eventually."
Logan nodded and said, "He was already. You can search on the Internet."
Elena googled Ogden and couldn’t refresh the page. Then she realized the delay was caused because too many people were searching his news.
Although there were some people trying to defend him, most netizen were reasonable and criticized them.
"Did you do something?" She turned to Logan and asked. It sounded like a question but she already knew the answer.
"Nope."
"Then, who did?" Elena was surprised. She thought it was Logan.
Logan sighed and reminded her. "Charlie? Remember his job?"
As the chief editor of the Green Light Magazine, he certainly had some personal connections.
Elena was enlightened, and she should have thought about him!
When she was going to say something, her phone rang and interrupted their conversation. It was Sophia calling.
She picked it up and Sophia’s nervous voice came, "Elena, have you heard of the news of the Turner family?"
Elena nodded. "Yeah, I guess everyone knows it now."
"Did my idol do it?" Sophia pondered and drew a conclusion.
Thinking of Charlie, she replied. "Partly."
"What does this mean?!"
Elena chuckled. "You are calling me just to ask this?"
"No!" Sophia was distracted earlier and added, "Did you hear what happened to Aria?"
"What do you mean? What happened to her?"
"Just while we are having the holiday, Charlie fired Aria. But when our colleague informed her of this, they found she was in hospital."
"Hospital?"
Why could she end up in hospital? Even if the Turner was destroyed, she could just get a divorce.
Sophia lowered her voice and explained. "I have no idea, either. But I heard that Ogden was beating her so badly that she had no choice but to jump off the building. She was in a coma in hospital and her family all came to see her."
Elena felt astonishment instead of sympathy. She thought even Aria herself might not imagine she would end up like this.
When she finished the call, Logan asked, "Do you want to visit her?"
He was sitting beside her and heard the conversation clearly.
Elena hesitated for a while and shook her head. "No. She made her choice and brought this to herself. What’s more, she may not want to see me."
"Good." Logan stroked her face and smiled. "I am happy to hear this."
He thought she might be guilty or worried. But now it seemed he over-thought.
His wife wasn’t so vulnerable as he originally thought. He felt he appreciated her more and more as he got to know her better.
"Why are you happy?" She blushed, "I’m just telling the truth. Aria was in a coma, but she will certainly flare up if she wakes up and knows my visit. I don’t want to see her drama anymore."
She was tired of dealing with Aria and her trouble. Right now, she just wanted a peaceful life.
"OK. Don’t worry. I will make sure her parents won’t be affected." After all, they didn’t do anything wrong and shouldn’t be affected by their daughter.
Elena stared at him, full of surprise and admiration in her eyes. "Logan, you are so nice. Sooooooo nice!"
She thought he must be the nicest one in the world. As Roger said, he looked cold but had a kind heart.
Logan raised his eyebrows, not knowing why she said that. But he certainly received her admiration and felt good about it.
He leaned over and bewitched her in a low and hoarse voice. "Since I’m so nice, how will you reward me?"
Reward? What reward? She wanted to ask but he was so close. She seemed to be enchanted and forgot what to say, only hearing her own heartbeat clearly. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
His smile was broader and he cupped her face in his hands, leaving kisses on her forehead. His lips were warm and soft and she couldn’t help closing her eyes sweetly.
His kisses were gentle and lingered on her forehead, eyes, nose and her lips...
