Presiden's wild wife

Chapter318 To Rise in Society

After that, Anna did not say anything or come to see anyone of the Brown family.

The new year was approaching, but George was quite critical of Cornel due to the company. Besides, he kept mentioning Logan. Apparently, he had been thinking about Logan now!

Jacqueline realized it. Then she began to contact the person that she had found before when she had time. “How’s it going with them?”

“Good. We’ve got them under our control.”

Jacqueline could not resist frowning when she heard the sound, “Why do I feel your voice sounds not so familiar?”

“That’s because of the weather. And I also have to keep an eye on them, so I've got this damn cold.” He said in a sullen voice.

Jacqueline gave an apologetic smile, “Thanks. When it’s settled, I’ll give you a bunch of money.”

“Don’t break your promise.”

“Of course I won’t.” Jacqueline replied quickly.

The man on the other end of phone was contented, “Then it’s worth trying.”

Matt was the one that Jacqueline hired to damage Logan’s car. And now his brother, Aiden, was watching them.

In this world, brotherhood would never compare with money.

“OK, that’s good. I feel relieved now.”

Jacqueline hung up the phone and took a breath.

“Mom…”

Jacqueline was so frightened by the sudden voice that she let out a scream. She turned around in panic and saw Yolanda. Then she slapped Yolanda on her head angrily, “Silly girl, you're scaring me.”

Yolanda was disgruntled. “You were too focused talking in the phone to hear my footsteps. I’ve called you several times.”

Jacqueline was still frightened. She patted her chest and took a look outside the door – there was no one. “Does your dad know you’ve come?”

“He knows.” Yolanda answered candidly. “I told dad I wanted to come to you for a chat so that you were not so bored.”

“What about George?”

“Grandpa went out this early morning. He used to hang out because of the parrot. But now he still goes out every day even his parrot died. And no one knows where he goes and what he has done.” Yolanda was moaning.

Jacqueline tapped on her head again. “Careless talk leads to trouble. You can say these in front of me. But do not mention it when you are in the villa. We don’t know whether Logan had arranged for someone there.”

Nodding, Yolanda stuck her tongue out at her mom, “I know.”

“You’d better know indeed.” Jacqueline complained.

Yolanda held her mom’s wrist with a grin, “Mom, I’ve convinced Anna the other day. I think she will come to Elena recently.”

Jacqueline threw cold water on her idea when she saw Yolanda was complacent. “Stop meddling with her. You really think she’s able to do something?”

“Why not? She is Anna Lee. Don’t you think she is quite fiendish?”

“She was!”

But now she became notorious. And what she could do now was to deceive herself. She would never become Mrs. Brown in this case.

Yolanda did not believe, so she sniffed. “I know what you mean. I do not really think of her as my sister- in-law. Moreover, Logan will be trampled upon by me. And I will not let off anyone who has connection with him.”

Jacqueline saw a trace of coldness flashed across Yolanda’s eyes. Then she smiled in satisfaction, “Yolanda, that’s my girl.”

Only in this way could they surpass others. Then they did not need to try hard to please George and Cornel.”

“Mom, you should take the credit.” Yolanda flattered her.

Jacqueline chuckled and then released her grip on Yolanda’s hand. “You should go home now. Just keep badgering your dad to designate you as a manager in the company. Then you will be more influential when you take over the company in the future.”

Yolanda was disconsolate, “Well, that’s too tiresome!”

Jacqueline shot a glare at her. “Only if you can stand the hardest of hardships can you hope to rise in society.”

“I…” Yolanda gazed at the floor in grievance, “I know.”

Then Jacqueline was pleased. She nodded and let Yolanda go.

When Jacqueline just hung up her phone, Jacob opened the office door and came in. He walked to Logan, “Jacqueline just called them. But we’ve been watching them, so nothing goes wrong.”

“What about the guys she arranged for?”

“They all confessed, and they are now imprisoned. They can confront her face to face after a few days. She will have to admit.”

“Well, if we want her to admit that, we need to make Cornel distrust her at first. He will lose his mind every time when Jacqueline cries.”

And Cornel would support her eventually. What Elena had through just proved that.

Jacob thought for a while, but he could not get a clue. Then he just stood motionless.

Logan took a deep breath and sighed, “Play it by ear. I will come to meet Matt personally. He is submissive to Jacqueline because she has controlled the lives of his family. I want to see what will he do if I come to him.”

Jacob nodded, “OK, I’ll make arrangements for you to meet him.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Logan gave an approving nod.

When they were talking, the sound of someone knocking the door interrupted them. Logan glanced at him, “It’s Elena.”

Jacob realized Logan wanted to be alone with Elena, so he gave a smile, “Then I’m leaving now. Call me if you need any help.”

“OK.”

Jacob walked out and opened the door for Elena.

Smiling, Elena was standing outside the door with two thermal flasks in her hands. Before Jacob took any action, she had already given one flask to him. “Jacob, it’s the chicken soup made by Mia. That’s too much, so you can have one.”

Jacob was flattered and took the flask, “Thank you, Mrs. Brown.”

“Nothing.” Elena waved her hand. She did not care such triviality at all. Then she walked into the office briskly.

Logan stopped her, “You are now pregnant. Why are you still so careless?”

“No. The floor was overlaid with the rugs. Besides, I won’t fell.”

“So, you even want to fell to the ground?” Logan lifted his hand and knocked on her head slightly. But she still felt the pain and then covered her head with her hand.

“No. I’m good.”

“I don’t believe.”

Elena rolled her eyes and ignored his word. Then she raised the flask in her hand and shook it. “I bring you the soup specially. You can’t do that to me.”
