Shit! Mason didn't know it! Emma forgot that and flustered, "Dad, I..."
"Emma!"
"It's just... because of Elena, we were sad and got drunk. So ..."
Then she seemed unable to hold back her tears, "Dad, Jeremy and I are innocent. Why are you blaming us? It's Elena's fault!"
Mason couldn't deny it, and thus hugged his daughter and comforted her gently.
Jacob stood in silence. He heard their talking without any expression on his face. Then he turned away to get into the car as if nothing had happened.
Inside the house, the housekeeper looked at Elena up and down for a long time, "Miss Elena, you've got chubbier. You look much better than before."
Chubbier? Elena subconsciously touched her cheek and then turned to Logan.
Logan couldn't help smiling, "That's pretty good."
"Why?"
"It feels better to hug you." the man smiled. She was so thin that he could feel her bones when he hugged her before.
Elena pretended to glare at him angrily, which caused him to widen the smile on his face.
At the moment, Emma supported Mason and they came in. She happened to see the happiness spreading across Elena's face and she felt disgusted at once. How could Elena smile so happily!
Married to a cripple, she was supposed to cry and beg to return to the Bush family. But now she was smiling?
"Dad, since you're not feeling well, maybe you should go to your room and have a rest." Elena didn't want to see him fake illness and proposed.
Mason was irritated by her and ordered, "Elena, come to my room with me now. I have something for you."
Elena didn't miss the complacent look on Emma's face. She hesitated for a moment and nodded her head, "OK."
In Mason's room, both of them kept silent for a long time. Then Mason spoke first. He sighed, "Elena, how are you after marrying into the Brown family?"
"Fine." She replied without any feeling.
Mason frowned, "What about Jeremy?"
"That's all in the past and none of my business now. I'm married to Logan, not Jeremy."
"Elena! Haven't you even got an ounce of introspection all the time?" He got furious and stared at her. Elena was always so obedient in the past. But now she seemed to have changed and look so different.
Elena thought she wouldn't care anymore, however, when she was scolded by Mason, she couldn't help feeling her heart hurt. She slowly took a breath and insisted, "I didn't do anything wrong. You're the one who never listened to me!"
"That's enough!" Mason's face darkened, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
Really? If so, what was the point in bringing back those painful past?
"What are you going to give me?" Elena asked. She just wanted to take it and leave here quickly. She didn't want to continue discussing the topic with him.
Mason took a deep look at her and turned around. Then he took out a bracelet made of silver with a beautiful phoenix engraved on it. It didn't seem valuable but somehow made Elena feel so familiar.
"It was left for you by your mother. She said she wanted to give it to you as a dowry when you got married."
Elena took the bracelet in her palm and smiled, "Thank you, Daddy."
Seeing the bracelet, Mason recalled something and quickly averted his gaze. He said sarcastically, "I asked you to come back, only to remind you that you became Mrs. Brown because of Emma's generosity. Remember, you owe this to her for the rest of your life!"
Emma held the silver bracelet tightly after hearing this. She was tired of getting angry and just smiled. There was no point in arguing with him now.
She froze for a moment and looked into Mason's eyes straight, "No, I never owe anything to Emma. She owes me!"
She seduced Jeremy and then set her up! She started this farce from the very beginning, not her!
Unfortunately ... She would not explain to Mason again. Any more explanation was futile to a father who never believed in his daughter.
"You!" Mason was pissed off severely.
"Dad, I don't blame you for being old and confused. But take care of yourself and don't worry too much about things that are none of your business." Elena gripped the bracelet in her hand and left his shouting behind her back.
She opened the door but saw the last person she wanted to meet right now, Jeremy!
Jeremy saw Elena, too. She was more stunning than before. There were also some other changes happening to her. But he couldn't tell at that moment.
"Future brother-in-law, what a coincidence!" She deliberately stressed the words 'future brother-in-law' with a smile.
Jeremy blushed with embarrassment, "Elena, it's over. Why do you have to be like this?"
Of course she didn't have to. She could even manage to ignore him if Emma hadn't specifically asked Mason to warn her.
"Anyway, just watch Emma and ask her to behave herself. I will accept what happened to me before. After all, I was unable to fight with you guys."
"Elena, Emma and I truly love each other. We are both sorry for you and desperately want to make it up to you. Emma has also told me that when the Bush family pulls through this time, you can divorce Logan and we will find you the right husband who will make you live a happy life."
"That's ridiculous!" Elena hardly knew how to hold back her disgusted feelings at this point, "What makes you think I'll forgive you for doing this? Jeremy, don't you think too highly of yourself?"
What the hell was he! Even if she had loved him, he had already completely crushed her love! Besides, did he really think that if she divorced with Logan, Emma would let her go?
Emma couldn't be that kind and she always wanted to torture her...
"Elena, you ..." Jeremy looked at her in surprise and got speechless, "You, you should know, Logan is not the perfect man for you."
"Oh, I don't know if Logan is a perfect man for me, but I do know that you and Emma are a perfect match at least!"
Both were equally shameless and arrogant! Elena's sharp words nearly overwhelmed Jeremy, and he shook his head in disbelief, "Elena, you weren't like this."
"No!" She shook her head and smiled brightly to him, "The Elena you knew died long time ago when you decided to sacrifice her, and now I'm not that girl who foolishly loved you!"
Jeremy's heart was in pain, as if at that moment something was lost by him. This feeling made him scared, yet he couldn't control himself!
