Chapter 32 Ruthlessness
Chapter 32 Ruthlessness
Elena lowered her eyes and couldn't help but sigh secretly. She wondered how she had provoked Aria in the first place.
Now the endless pestering was making her more enemies. What if something bad really happened later?
Daisy's interview had been printed with a cover of several photos taken before. She looked so beautiful and elegant that almost all women and men wanted.
Sophia looked at the magazine and exclaimed, "Daisy is really capable. She inherited her family’s business at a young age and made it more prosperous. I just wonder what kind of man will be able to win her heart in the end."
Elena wanted to say that Daisy was actually married. But she stopped since this was Daisy’s privacy.
But David was really nice to Daisy and they looked like a great couple standing together.
Daisy's interview magazine was published, and became the best seller instantly. This had gained more popularity for Green-light Magazine. Elena sent Daisy a message to tell her the good news.
Daisy immediately called back while smiling, "How do you plan to thank me for helping you so much?"
"Ah, huh?" Elena couldn’t understand her words.
Daisy let out a laugh and said deliberately, "Are you just saying thanks without a concrete gift?"
"No, how can that be!" She put on a sincere face. But Daisy couldn't see it.
"How about a dinner?"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Daisy answered very quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Elena couldn't help but think that Daisy was actually quite nice and not so cold or unapproachable as the rumor. To be honest, Elena thought she was quite cute.
Before getting off work, Elena received Mason’s call.
Mason spoke in a little formal way, "Elena, can you come back now? I haven't seen you in a long time."
Mason's sudden kindness surprised her for a moment, "Dad, I've been rather busy lately."
The truth was, she wasn't busy. She just didn't want to see Emma or Jeremy. She just said they broke up before so many people today. He must be so angry with her.
"Elena!" Mason got anxious at her words, he yelled out and was unable to hide the exhaustion in his words, "I'm always dreaming about your mom recently, and she told me she missed me."
Elena fell silent as he continued, "I wasn't expecting anything, I just thought if you could come back to see me. My words were a bit harsh earlier. Please don’t take them seriously."
"Dad, I'll go back later after work." she whispered.
Mason heard and gave a delighted burst of nods, "Good! Then I'll be waiting for you!" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
She responded vaguely, and when she hung up, she couldn't help but regret it.
...
At the Bush family's house, Mason was finally relieved to hear Elena's promise. He looked in the direction of the second floor. Emma had kept herself locked up in her room ever since she came back in G City. KL had started cracking down on the Bush Group. All of these had made him panic.
The Bush Group was his life. He couldn't just see it get ruined like this!
After thinking about it, the most appropriate way was to go to Elena.
In the late afternoon, Mason heard some sounds from outside the door. The housekeeper had led someone in, "Miss Elena, during your absence, the flowers in the backyard are all withered. Even we tried to take care of them, they just don't look as good as when you were at home."
Elena was a little sad to hear this and didn’t reply. She got in and bumped into Mason head on.
Then she smiled slightly and called out, "Dad."
Her slight smile made Mason stop and recall an old friend. He was a little distracted...
Elena felt strange that her dad didn’t respond to her greeting. So she said again, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing." Mason came back to himself and looked at her with mixed feelings in his heart and said, "It's so good to see you back."
The housekeeper previously thought their relation between father and daughter was not so good, but at this moment, she thought maybe she was wrong before and said in delight, "Master and Miss Elena, I will fetch some tea for you."
On the second floor, Emma was furious after hearing Elena was back. She slammed the mirror again, scaring the housekeeper into running downstairs without even looking at her.
Elena had a headache when she heard Emma, but there was nothing she could do about it because they were sisters.
Mason turned a sullen face and went upstairs without saying a word. He opened the door to her room while snarling in anger, "Emma, when can you stop this! You're slamming things every day. Do you want to get kicked out of the house?!"
"Dad..." Emma was subdued and shouted timidly.
Unexpectedly, she looked up to see a figure that she hated to the core, "Elena, how dare you come back!"
"... Why should I dare?"
Emma saw her and lost control once again. She was shouting and screaming, "If not for you, how could Jeremy have been bewitched and left me?"
Mason's brow furrowed, "What's going on?"
"What's going on? Jeremy doesn't want me anymore, and he broke up with me thanks to her!" When Emma said that, she immediately cried out, "She's the shameless one keeping showing up in front of Jeremy every day. She even booked the same hotel as him on his business trip. That’ why Jeremy can’t move on!"
Mason had always been upset about what happened before and believed Emma's words immediately , "Elena! Is this true?"
Elena cursed in her mind. It was really unlucky today. First, she was dragged to the party by Jeremy early in the morning. And now she was accused by Emma here. She shouldn’t have come back and ask for humiliation.
"Speak! Are you dumb?"
Elena didn't have a chance to speak because Emma cried again, "What excuse do you want to use? You already stole Logan from me and now you are stealing Jeremy! You greedy bitch!"
Mason was irritated by Emma’s words and stared at Elena with a fury, "Elena, you are disappointing me!"
Her hands clenched into fists when she let out a low laugh. She was neither angry or ashamed as she just shrugged, "I have no excuse. You two can keep talking and accuse me whatever you want."
"So you admit it." Mason looked at her with disappointment.
Elena was even more chilled. How could he get disappointed since he already gave her up?
"Dad, you have to do justice for me this time. No matter what, I won't forgive her again!" Emma was adding fuel to the fire and made Mason even angrier. He could not wait to go up and strangle her in a minute.
"Emma, no wonder you've never made it in your life." Elena said seriously. All Emma had done in her life was just fighting around, and in the end, she would never get anything!
"What did you say!?" Emma screamed loudly with hatred in her eyes. Her delicate face was twisted because of anger and she just looked... desperate.
"That's enough!" Mason swung his hand and grabbed her phone, "Don't go anywhere now and stay at home and reflect!"
Then, Elena was pushed inside the bedroom by him. The door was locked from the outside, and Mason's voice came, "Elena, don't blame me for being hard-hearted. I just can't understand how come our family have a girl as cruel as you!"
Elena stood in the empty bedroom, unable to stop laughing. She felt her heart throbbing with pain. Mason had always been so unfair and never treated her as his daughter!
"After you reflect and admit your fault, I'll negotiate with Logan about your divorce. His wife was supposed to be Emma. And it’s time to correct this mistake."
Mason's ruthless words made Elena shocked at once. She couldn’t suppress her anger and kept knocking on the door. "Dad, what are you trying to do?"
"Your marriage is a mistake from the beginning and it’s time to correct it now. Since you're still hanging out with Jeremy, I shall arrange your divorce."
Elena's heart sank. How could her father be so cruel and ruthless? How could he arrange her divorce without her permission? This was so crazy!
She kept knocking on the door. A sudden wave of panic and helplessness was consuming her, "Dad, open the door!"
There was only silence outside the door, and after a moment, Emma's sarcastic voice came, "Humph! Save it. Dad has already gone to contact the Brown family, so just wait and sign the divorce papers!"
