Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 358 Karma

“Excuse me! I think I should tell you the whole thing though you are reluctant to figure it out." Jacob found a seat and sat down, looking straight at Cornel's bad face.

Cornel closed the door, then looked at him. "What do you want to say?"

Jacob put a document on the bed stand, "Mr. Brown, do you recently check the financial records of the company?"

"It's none of your business! And you are not entitled to concern with it."

Jacob jeered, "I do be not entitled. After all, I am just an assistant. But I do think that you should have a look at this document!”

Jacob tapped on the document on the table, then got up. “I know I am not welcome here, so I go first. Hope you can figure out something after you see the document.”

“What do you mean?” Cornel watched him, tasting his words.

Jacob just said, “You will know it after reading it.”

Then Jacob bowed politely and left.

“Wait! You make it clear!” Cornel ran after Jacob, while Jacob didn’t intend to talk more with him and walked quickly.

Cornel then came up with the document Jacob put on his table, so he returned to his room.

In the garden, Elena and Yolanda walked along the garden and returned to the gate. They happened to meet Jacob who was going to leave.

Without more thoughts, Yolanda asked, “Jacob, you are to leave now?”

“Yes!”

“How about the business? You don’t need to discuss with Elena?” With surprise, she didn’t see they had a talk. Why was he going to leave?

With his face unchanged, Jacob said, “I will contact Madam at any time if there is something important in the company.”

Elena nodded, “You just go back. It’s late now and you have to get up early tomorrow.”

“Yes!” Jacob replied, then left for the direction of the parking lot.

Yolanda got unknown feelings, which made her uncomfortable. “Sister-in-law, how do you know he has to get up early?”

Elena glanced at her from the corner of the eyes, “Have you heard that the early birds get the worms.”

“Well, yes, but…”

She did not answer Yolanda’s question directly.

Elena got rid of Yolanda’s hand, which attracted Yolanda’s look. Elena smiled, “I am a little tired walking so long. Let’s go back to room.”

“OK, sister-in-law, do you want to have any dessert? I ask the cook to make you the night snack, OK?” Yolanda smiled graciously.

“No, thanks!” Elena nodded slightly, “I want to see Grandpa George. He refused to see anyone since he came back from the hospital. I am afraid nobody will know if he is not well without someone around him.”

Yolanda was not happy to hear that, because she didn’t take kindly to Grandpa George.

Watching her look, Elena tapped on her shoulder, “Don’t worry. I will go myself to have a chat with him.” Feeling her stomach, she continued, “What’s more, Grandpa George should be happy to see his great grandson.”

Yolanda gave a big smile, “That’s great!”

Finishing, she then smiled awkwardly and explained, “Sister-in-law, I don’t mean that! I just have nothing to say when seeing Grandpa George.”

“I see.” Elena nodded, “But you don’t have to make it so clear, otherwise, it’ll be very embarrassing for you two.”

Yolanda nodded perfunctorily. However, she cannot show respect to George, especially because of his attitude to her these days. He obviously disliked her very much. So she didn’t have to cozy up to him.

Elena released her hand, saying nothing more with her. She directly stepped to George’s bedroom. Yolanda looked at Elena’s back, then turned to see Jacqueline.

Elena knocked the door lightly, then pushed open the door, “Grandpa?”

George was sitting on the bed, taking a photo in his hand. Watching her coming in, he said without any surprise, “You here!”

“Grandpa George, what are you looking at?” Elena approached him slowly.

George showed her the photo.

It was a photo of his whole family, on which she can see middle-aged George, Young Cornel and Mrs. Brown, and a child. She recognized the child, and he was Logan.

Elena took a glance at the photo, then cannot help sighing with emotion that everything had changed.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

George said, “Before Knowing about Jacqueline, I did think that family was a real family, and this house can be called a home. I never make criteria for my daughter-in-law. I just think that’s enough as long as Cornel loved her.”

Elena asked, “Were…were they happy at that time?”

“Very happy. They had been placing courtesy with each other, so I had been thinking that they will be like that for lifetime. However, something happened.”

Jacqueline intervened in their marriage. Cornel was tired of the unromantic marriage, so he chose to cheat on his wife.

Elena smiled, “Grandpa George, you rest assured. I will be happy for lifetime with Logan.”

“You are different, and Logan, too. You have come through a lot of things with each other…” George tapped on her hand, then he took back the photo from her. “It’s said that those who share difficulties will share a happy life. You have shared so many difficulties with Logan, so I believe what you have said.”

Elena opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, while George nodded. “Perhaps Cornel had an ordinary love story, so it’s easy for his love to fade away. Then Jacqueline showed up, and he fell in love with her instead.”

“Grandpa, past is the past…” Elena gnashed her lower lip, looking at that photo. “Logan and I have no interests in who was wrong in that marriage. What’s wrong is that the one who loved deeper…”

What’s wrong was Mrs. Brown’s tragic suicide.

George let out a big sigh, “The past is still here before my eyes…the happier the past is, the more ridiculous it is while thinking of it now…”

That’s the Karma, no one can escape from it…
