Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 38 - The Bush Family's ATM

Elena woke up, only to find that both Mason and Emma had contacted her last night. Confused, she returned the call. "Dad, is something wrong?"

Elena lowered her voice and glanced at the locked door with no sign of anyone coming in.

Mason spoke, "Elena ..." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Yes. Just say it."

With her words, Mason's voice lightened up as if he was relieved, "Do you know that Logan broke off the partnership with the Bush family recently? I didn't want to trouble you, but early this morning, there was chaos in the factory, saying that the latest batch of products simply wouldn't go through customs and some workers' wages haven’t been paid yet ..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Elena immediately understood, "In that case, you should have disposed of that substandard shipment and paid the workers' wages. There's nothing I can do for you, right?"

"Don't you still have Logan’s support?" Mason reminded, "Just a word from you and Logan will surely help me out soon. This money means nothing to him!"

His words brought some boredom to her for no reason, "I can't do that, you should just talk to him directly!"

After saying that, she was about to hang up. Mason shouted at her anxiously, "Wait, Elena, just wait a minute! You can't watch our family bankrupt because of this little thing, can you?"

"Logan is your son-in-law, so is Jeremy! Logan's done quite a lot, it's Jeremy’s turn to offer help!" She said in a cold tone, "If you still want to talk about it, I have nothing to say. I have to work, so let's leave it at that."

"Elena, Elena ... hello!?" Mason shouted but could get no more response.

The phone had just been put away when Logan was entering her room, "Who called?"

She shook her head, "Nobody. Just something came up at work and they told me to remember to bring a copy of the manuscript with me."

Subconsciously, she hid the call from Mason, knowing that as far as the Bush family was concerned, Logan was an ATM, and as long as she was there, the Bush family could make demands without limits, and would never be satisfied. They always wanted more!

In her view, Logan, even if he was good, couldn’t be good to them for life. He wouldn’t be with her forever, either, and the more she owed, the harder for her to leave him ...

"Hmm." Logan responded, "I'll have Jacob send you later. He's going to the office today."

Elena nodded in agreement and pushed him out of the door.

In the company, Aria was assigned to B City on a business trip. Therefore, no one would find trouble with Elena. The work of the group two was going on extraordinarily well, and the day was busy. Elena finally got off work.

Elena returned home and saw two people sitting in the living room, a young girl and a stylishly dressed woman. The two whispered to each other from time to time, looking around the villa with some contempt unconsciously showing in their eyes.

She recognized one of them, Logan's step mother, but the other ...

She stepped inside the living room when Mia immediately came up and took her hand, "Mrs Brown, you're home finally!"

"What's Mom doing here? Where's Logan?"

Mia glanced at them in the living room and whispered with relief, "Logan went away because of work at the company. He has been out for a while. I didn't expect them to come. That young one is Logan's sister,Yolanda."

"Why haven't I seen her?" Elena frowned. At their wedding, she should have seen Yolanda, but no one had mentioned her.

"Yolanda had been in Paris for the fashion show when you were married, so she didn't make it back."

"Oh." She nodded, "Shouldn't we welcome them? They are our guests after all." Elena said, noticing two plates of fruit in the kitchen, "These are for them, right? I'll just take it out."

"Elena!" Mia shouted anxiously, but Elena had already walked out. Mia immediately contacted Jacob to tell him the current situation.

Elena knew that Logan's mother didn't like her, but she still put on a smile and set the fruit plate in front of the two respectfully, ''Mom, Yolanda, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were here? Have some fruit first."

Logan's mother, Jacqueline, slightly raised her eyebrows and glanced Elena, ''What do you mean? Do I have to tell you when I want to visit my son? Or are you afraid to see me?"

"No." Elena sat down next to her, as if she couldn't hear her sarcasm.

Yolanda was curiously staring at her and looked her from head to toe. The more she looked at her, the more dissatisfied she got. And finally she said in disgust, "Mom, this is the woman my brother just married? Just so-so! Can't even compare with one finger of Anna!

"Yolanda!" Jacqueline glared at her, "Don't mention her again. It’s something that should be buried in the past!"

Yolanda lowered her voice, "I know!"

Anna? Who was she? Just when Elena wanted to hear more, Yolanda was already stopped by Jacqueline.

But on second thought Anna never showed up from start to now, so by and large she shouldn't matter much, right?

Jacqueline gave her a glance, "I came over today because I wanted to see you. I want to know if you've made improvements since you married Logan a few months ago. But I didn't expect none. I am really disappointed!"

Elena looked dutifully instructed, "You are right, Mom."

Seeing her obedient attitude, Jacqueline was somewhat exasperated, but couldn't find her fault at the moment!

Unlike her mother, Yolanda immediately jumped up, "Mom, why are you being so patient with her? We should just say it directly! This woman is not good enough for my brother!"

"..." Elena squeezed her palms, a little depressed, "I wonder why I am not good enough for him?"

"Why?" Yolanda looked at her again, "What merits do you have to match my brother? Tell me yourself!"

"Since you can’t tell me the reason, it's better not to talk about the topic. Whether we are matched or not, it's a matter for us as a couple, and no one else can have a say."

When Yolanda heard this, she was furious and crossed her arms, "How dare you call us no one else!!! We are the closest family to Logan. Do you know that you are sowing discord by saying these words!"

Elena pursed her lips. She didn’t mean it but Yolanda thought she did, then she couldn't explain it any way.

Yolanda felt irritated when she looked at her face. She tugged on Jacqueline's sleeve and pouted, "Mom, look at her. She doesn't have any respect for you at all, let alone how to please her sister-in-law. She can't become a member of our family anyway!"

Mia, who had been listening all the time, finally got tired of this and said to support Elena, "Yolanda, Elena is very nice, it's just that you have so much bias against her that you think she's bad."

"And who are you? A servant, you dare to tell me what to do?" Yolanda had always been used to being spiteful and capricious, and she was not happy when she heard someone refute.

Mia followed with a few sighs and just gave Elena a heartfelt look, hoping that Logan would be back sooner rather than later.

Elena’s fists clenched and loosened. After a few times, she calmed down the depression in her heart and stood up, "Mom, Yolanda, since you're here to see Logan, I'll go upstairs first. And I'll come back later to accompany you when he returns."

"Stop!" Yolanda crossed her arms before her chest, "What do you mean by that? Hiding from us? Or do you think we bully you and you're going upstairs to call Logan so you can blame us when he returns!"

When Jacqueline heard this, she believed what Yolanda said and immediately accused, ''You, why are you so scheming! We were juts talking and now you are unhappy!?"

"Mom ... Yolanda ..."

"Don’t call my name! I don't think you are my sister-in-law. Don't call me so affectionately. I feel sick!"

Elena took a deep breath, only to feel that even the nicest person couldn't bear it... she couldn't mess up with them but she could avoid!

Seeing that the two were going to continue tangling with her, she kept silent and tried to figure out a way to get rid of them. At that moment, a figure unexpectedly came in and appeared in her eyes!
