Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 196 Shameful Secret

Elena closed her eyes. She didn’t dare to see how Cornel hit Logan. Logan held her hands so tightly. While Cornel showed no mercy to Logan, hitting him so heavily.

Logan forced himself not to make a sound though it was so painful. Elena could see that he was just bearing it in great pain.

But Cornel was unsatisfied with his reaction, “Why are you so quiet? You were so brave to retort me just now. Now you know the consequence of defending her. You should remember the pain!”

Elena gritted her teeth. She looked away without saying a word. And Logan seemed not to hear anything, turning a deaf ear to Cornel.

Cornel got more furious, hitting Logan even more heavily. He hit Logan so hard that he was sweating. And Logan was, too.

After the last hit, Cornel threw the stick away. The maid picked it up hurriedly.

“Mrs. Wilson. As you can see, I’ve punished my son now. I believe they will learn their lesson. As for the affair, we will deal with it.”

Mrs. Wilson was happy about it, nodding and saying, “Great. Now we shall go home. Charlie! It’ll be your turn. You father will make you learn your lesson! You will know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do!”

Charlie was furious. He wanted to argue but his mother stopped him. At last, he was pulled out of the Browns’ villa by his mother.

Elena’s hand was trembling, holding Logan, “It hurts?”

“Not really.” He patted her face to comfort her, “Don’t worry about me. I am good.”

Elena cried, “But…”

She could see him gritting his teeth now. Cornel hit him without mercy. How came it didn’t hurt?

Logan smiled, “Come on. I am fine. Really. It won’t hurt as long as you are safe.”

Elena bit her lip. She knew that he was just comforting her. But she didn’t want him to worry, either. So she nodded, “Thank you.”

Cornel snorted, “Look at her. She didn’t do anything when you were suffering! Does she really deserve your love?”

A wife would certainly do something like crying when her husband was suffering. But she didn’t. instead, she just looked at him. He still remembered that Jacqueline nearly cried to death when Yolanda got punished.

Elena looked at Cornel indifferently, “If I begged you not to punish Logan, would you listen to me and stop it?”

She knew the answer was “No”.

Now that he wouldn’t stop it, there was no point to show her weakness before them.

Cornel was shocked by her. He was irritated, “Is this your excuse?”

Elena didn’t answer his question, but asked, “Since you’ve punished us, can we leave now?”

“Look at you! You still think you haven’t done anything wrong, right?!”

“Because I didn’t do anything wrong!” Elena answered.

She never thought she disgraced the Browns. And she never admitted that she had an affair with Charlie. But they wouldn’t listen to her and just smeared her.

Jacqueline screamed, “What?! You still don’t admit it?! Do you think your denial could help you get away with it?”

“Since you don’t believe me, I have nothing to say now,” Elena’s cold glance fell on them.

Logan added, “Taking the punishment doesn’t mean that we admit it’s Elena’s fault. And we never owe any explanation to the Browns or the Wilsons!”

Cornel looked at his sullen face, recalling what Elena said just now. If they could prove Elena’s innocence, would they really get back mercilessly?

But Jacqueline thought that he just wanted to get away with their fault, so she warned, “Well, you can say whatever you want. But if you can’t give a good explanation when George comes back, you will suffer more than today!”

But Logan wasn’t afraid of her warning, squinting at her with indifference.

Yolanda was scared to see Logan’s expression. She asked Jacqueline in secret, “Mom. Don’t you think that we’ve gone too far? What if Grandpa knows about it?”

“Stop being a coward! What’s done is done. Besides, how can you be certain that George will still take their side after knowing it?”

Yolanda agreed on her idea. But she still thought there was something wrong but she just couldn’t tell it.

Cornel didn’t know what Yolanda and Jacqueline were talking about. He paid all his attention to Logan and Elena. He said, “Logan, I give you one more chance to choose! Do you still want her to stay in the

Browns?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean you should divorce her!”

“No way!” Logan held Elena’s hand tightly, “Cornel Brown, you will never understand. Because you never love or are loved.”

In Logan’s mind, Cornel was a poor man in fact. He never loved anyone. He knew nothing about love. How miserable!

Cornel was charming and dashing when he was young. But now, though he lived a wealthy life, all the people around him knew that he didn’t do well in business, since the business of the Browns kept going down after he took it up. And it wouldn’t take too much time to see his failure.

What Logan said was Cornel’s pain point. He was irritated at once, “What? Love? Do you mean that you can give up everything just for love? How silly you are!”

He had great power and the corresponding responsibility. How could he care about romance more than career?

“Shut up! I said you wouldn’t know about love!” Logan interrupted him, looking decisively.

Elena didn’t want to continue the conversation, so she said to Logan softly, “Let’s go home.”

“Stop right there! What told you you could leave now?” Jacqueline stopped them.

Elena turned around and said, “What do you want to say? Be quick then. Don’t waste my time.”

Jacqueline walked to her and whispered to her ear, “Let me tell you. I know everything about your secret. You’d better hide it from Logan. Or you must be regretful about it!”

Elena squinted at her, “What do you know?”

Seeing that she was puzzled, Jacqueline thought she got the goods on Elena, so she smiled broadly, “Of course I know everything about your shameful secret. If you want to hide it from Logan, come to me. Or I will release it and let everybody know it!”
