Chapter 197 Evidence


    Elena frowned. She didn’t know what Jacqueline meant.


    Jacqueline wasn’t happy to see her showing innocence. “You are so good at ying innocent.”


    “Don’t beat about the bush!” Elena yelled impatiently. Her voice was drawing Logan’s attention.


    Jacqueline was so embarrassed, then she asked, “Why do you speak so loudly? Aren’t you afraid that


    your shameful secret will be known by everyone?”


    Elena looked at her without scare, “Tell everyone if you like. I am also curious about ‘my shameful


    secret’.”


    Jacqueline was so shocked about her calmness. And she started to doubt the photos she got might be


    fake. Or could Elena be bluffing?


    Logan asked Jacqueline, “What do you know?”


    “Well…” Jacqueline hesitated. She didn’t dare to speak it in front of Cornel. So atst, she didn’t say


    anything.

    Cornel walked to Jacqueline and pulled her to the other side, “What did you tell them?! You are talking


    too much!”


    “I didn’t say anything. Why are you shouting at me?!” Jacqueline snorted.


    They acted so strangely. Elena thought they must hide something from them.


    While they were thinking, a maid ran into the living room and yelled, “Master Brown is back!”


    Jacqueline was anxious. Grandpa George should be abroad now! She quickly hid herself behind


    Cornel as if she were safer there.


    Grandpa George was walking to them angrily. When he saw Logan and Elena, he knew that they were


    in trouble. He asked Cornel, “Why are they here?”


    Cornel lowered his head, saying in a low tone, “Well, they made mistakes. So they should be


    punished.”


    “Did you hit them?”


    “Yes, I did.”


    Grandpa George was so angry. Seemingly he would faint again with rage. “You! Cornel Brown! How


    dare you!”


    Jacqueline thought it was unfair and argued, “Father. They deserve the punishment. It’s the family rule.


    We just did what we should do! Since you were not here, we did this for you.”


    “Shut your damn mouth! Stop talking nonsense!”


    “Father! You…you are so partial!”


    “I am partial? Bullshit!” Grandpa George stared at her.


    “Ynda was punished because she did something wrong. Why do you defend Logan only?!”


    Cornel pushed her away, trying to stop her, “Shut up! Go back to your room!”


    Jacqueline was irritated, “Where am I wrong?! Let Ynda show you how she sufferedst time! It is so


    unfair for her. She is a girl! The scars won’t fade away in months! Or even a year! She’s frightened to


    show her skin because of the ugly scars! Can’t you see that?”


    Ynda was pushed to Cornel suddenly. She was afraid that her mom would take her clothes off to


    show her skin. So she immediately stepped back.


    Jacqueline scolded her, “Useless!”


    Grandpa George didn’t want to talk about the skin thing with Jacqueline, which wasn’t the topic today.


    He looked sullen, “Stop it. I don’t care about Ynda’s scars! We’re talking about Logan and Elena!”


    Elena looked away, “We have nothing to say.”


    Grandpa George knew that she was treated unfairly by them, so he said to her, “Elena. Don’t worry. I


    heard about the fake news. I won’t let them hurt you. I trust you!”


    Elena didn’t expect that Grandpa would take her side this time. She felt a bit relieved and grateful.


    “Thank you, Grandpa.”


    Logan frowned, “You said you were travelling abroad. Why do youe back so soon?”


    Grandpa George stamped, “I came back as soon as I heard the fake news! I knew that Cornel would


    cause trouble! If I didn’te back, that bastard must have torn you two into pieces!”


    However, it was toote. Logan and Elena suffered.


    That bastard…


    Grandpa George’s words were brutal, which made Cornel and Jacqueline unpleasant. Now they knew


    that Grandpa George took Logan’s side indiscriminately. And now, they seemed to be outsiders in their


    home.


    “Dad! You shouldn’t make yourment before knowing the truth!” Cornel didn’t want Grandpa


    George to get involved and attempted to lead him to his bedroom.


    But Grandpa George shook off his hands, “The truth? You call the fake news the truth? You


    experienced this ‘photo’ thing before, remember? Did I punish you when you disgraced our family with


    your affair? And now you know so well how to punish them.”


    Grandpa George brought the buried story up again. Cornel felt so ashamed that his face was blushing.


    He did have an affair with Jacqueline when he was still married. And after he was caught, Grandpa


    George tried every means to cover it.


    But still everyone knew that Jacqueline was his mistress. No one showed respect to her or really


    treated her as Mrs. Brown even after they got married.


    Jacqueline was blushing too. She didn’t say a word anymore.


    Cornel stammered, “Well…it…it is an old story! What’s more, nothing obscene about me was in the


    photos! But she…”


    “Oh, tell me then. What’s she like in the photos?”


    Jacqueline was hurt by Grandpa George’s sarcastic remarks. She was so furious that she couldn’t hold


    back her anger anymore. She pulled Grandpa George to her bedroom, yelling, “Father! You want to


    see the photos, right? Let me show you! You will know how nasty Elena is in those photos!”


    Then she took a pile of photos from a drawer and threw them on the desk.


    “Father! Look at the photos! Who is in the photos?! What was she doing? Do you still believe her after


    seeing these photos!”


    Grandpa George was frozen, staring at the photos.
