Chapter 238 Jacqueline’s fake kindness
Not everyone in the Browns was happy with the news that Elena was having a baby. George was definitely delighted while Jacqueline and Yolanda were agitated.
George was not allowed to visit Elena, so he asked servants to send many gifts to Elena, including healthy food.
Jacqueline was so jealous since George treated Elena as a princess now. She was complaining all the time to Cornel, “George is so exaggerated! She is pregnant at the moment, not really giving birth to a baby! And now she is like a queen in the Browns!”
Cornel didn’t want to get scolded by George anymore. He stared at her sharply, “Shut your damn mouth!”
Jacqueline grumbled, “Am I wrong?! George is so partial! He never values us! He only values Logan but Yolanda is his grandchild, too!”
Before she could speak more, Cornel left without hesitation. He was so fed up with her complaint.
His indifference and silence exasperated her. Yolanda patted her back to soothe her, “Mom, stop talking about this with dad. It doesn’t help! I am afraid he will take out on you what he suffered from Grandpa !”
Speaking of her useless husband, Jacqueline said in disdain, “Your father is a coward! Loser! He has accomplished nothing till now! At that rate, he will end up inheriting less than a dime from George!”
“Enough, mom!” Yolanda continued soothing her, “I don’t know what you are afraid of. Why not meet Elena and see what is going on by yourself?”
Jacqueline’s eyes lit up, “You are right, sweetie! Let’s go!”
“What?!” She just gave her advice. She didn’t get fully prepared. But she was pulled up by Jacqueline at once. “Now, get dressed. I should make soup for her. As a gift.”
Jacqueline went to the kitchen and decided to make chicken soup by herself. She didn’t allow a maid to help her, and she even pushed the maid out of the kitchen, yelling, “I will do it myself. Get out!”
“I am afraid you will get burnt…”
“Shut up! Get out!” The maid had no choice but to leave the kitchen.
It seemed that she was so kind to make soup for Elena. She washed the chicken, putting it into the pot. And she put some unknown ingredients into the pot too! It took her nearly two hours to make the soup. Then she specifically took away the ingredients from the soup and poured the soup into a big bowl. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Yolanda couldn’t figure out why her mother was so kind to Elena today.
Jacqueline asked her, “Sweetie, why don't you wear some perfume!??”
Then she took out a bottle of perfume and sprayed it on Yolanda’s ears and neck. Yolanda liked this smell, so she didn’t mind.
Jacqueline kept telling her all the way, “Remember! If possible, keep quiet before them.”
“Alright!” Yolanda nodded obediently. Jacqueline smiled.
Elena was stunned by their sudden visit. Before she could say something, Jacqueline and Yolanda had entered and walked into the living room, yelling in a friendly tone, “Oh, no! Why do you open the door yourself!? Where are the maids!?”
“Mia asked for a leave. She’ll be back next week.”
“Oh, look at you! No wonder you look thinner than before! You are not eating properly!” She showed her the soup, “Yolanda, go and get some bowls.”
Jacqueline poured the soup into the bowls and said with a fake smile, “You are pregnant now. You should take care of yourself. Healthy food is very crucial!”
Yolanda walked closer to Elena. But the perfume from her was so strong that Elena couldn’t bear it and covered her nose at once.
Jacqueline didn’t care. She gave the bowl to Elena. “Have a try! Where is Logan?! He should have a try too. It’s good for your health.”
Elena didn’t want to drink it. She stood up immediately, “Well, he’s in the study. Let me call him to come here.”
Jacqueline stopped her, “Don’t bother. Drink it first!”
Yolanda said, “Have a try! It took my mom two hours to make it. It must be fabulous.” Then she finished a bowl of soup herself. She seemed to enjoy it so much.
Elena didn’t know why they made the soup for her and insisted she drink it. But she knew that they came here without good intention!
“Elena. Why don’t you drink it? Don’t refuse my kindness.”
Elena smiled flatly, “Your kindness? Oh, it’s very kind of you.”
Jacqueline suddenly went pale, “What do you mean!? Are you blaming me?”
“I didn’t say anything; but if you think so, I won’t deny either.”
“Elena!” Jacqueline became angry, yelling at her.
But Elena wasn’t afraid. She stepped back and held her breath, trying not to breathe the strong perfume, “What? Do you want me to get closer to you?!”
“Elena! Don’t be so mean to us. Why can’t we be closer? We are relatives anyway.” Yolanda said shortly.
Logan went out since he heard some noises downstairs. When he went to the first floor, he saw Elena standing nearly one meter away from Jacqueline and Yolanda. Something weird was going on among them.
Elena quickly ran to Logan and hid behind him, “Logan…”
“What happened?” He asked. But the next minute, he smelt the perfume from Yolanda. He was irritated and yelled at her, “Yolanda Brown, get out of my house right now!”
“What?! No…Logan, why?!”
Yolanda didn’t know what was going on. Jacqueline’s face was turning pale again, but she didn’t move, “Why do we have to leave?! We are here on behalf of George. And now you are asking us to leave?! Don’t you dare! I will tell George that you are so mean to us!”
“Leave, now!” Logan stared at them with his cold and piercing eyes, which frightened Jacqueline greatly. But Yolanda felt so wronged by his indifference. She even wanted to cry. “Brother! How can you be so mean to us! We came to show our good intentions!”
“If you were kind to Elena, you wouldn't have come here with that perfume!” Logan said, “Again. Get out of my house! Now! Or you will pay for it!”
“Logan…” Yolanda wanted to argue, but when she looked into his eyes, she didn’t dare to say anything.
Jacqueline didn’t dare to stay for one more second and left in a hurry with Yolanda.
Though they had left, Logan was still sullen. He held Elena’s hand, “Take a bath and get changed now. I will have the house cleaned.”
“Because of the perfume?” whispered Elena.
