Chapter 243 The Unknown Past
In the Browns’ vi.
George was sitting on the couch, looking so harsh. Jacqueline was a bit scared, begging in a trembling
tone, “Well…please…I’m going upstairs…”
“Stop!” George snapped, “Do you think you can get away with it?”
Jacqueline’s heart jolted when she saw George’s angry face. She quickly hid behind Cornel.
Cornel faked a smile, “Dad…it’s all settled, isn’t it? Come on, Elena’s baby is fine. And we got yed
today! What more do you expect us to do?”
He wasining that it was Elena’s fault and wasted their time.
George looked at him coldly, “So you meant that it was Elena’s fault, right?”
“No…I''m just caring about you. You have high blood pressure. You can’t be startled like that! They are
so yful and thoughtless…”
“Bastard! How dare you retort me?” George roared. All the people in the house were frightened by his
rage.
Cornel’s face was darkening. He felt shameful that his father didn’t show him respect in front of his
wife, his daughter, and the other maids and servants in the house.
Jacqueline tried so hard to fake to cry, “Are you ming me? I’ve told you that I didn’t mean it! I didn’t
do anything to kill the baby…”
“You didn’t mean it? You did it on purpose!”
“No! I didn’t!”
But George didn’t believe in her at all. “Jacqueline. Look at you, what have you done for this family
after you married Cornel?”
Jacqueline didn’t know why he would ask this question. She was about to tell him but stopped
suddenly; she couldn’t remember what she had done for the family herself.
Cornel tried to exin for his wife, “Dad. She raised two kids up; it was not an easy job! This time she
made mistakes; so she didn’t dare to take the credit.”
“What!” George snorted, “She raised two kids up? Which two kids?!”
“Of course Logan and Ynda!”
“Then you tell me how she treats Logan these years?”
George was questioning and scolding Cornel who didn’t dare to argue. He still remembered how
Jacquelineined about Logan over these years.
Thinking of that, he felt even more guilty…
George threw his stick in anger, “You can’t tell?”
“Dad…” Jacqueline knelt down on the ground, “Please don’t be angry with Cornel. It’s my fault! I should
be med.”
Cornel relented a little, pulling her up. But George stopped Cornel with his re. “Let her kneel down
as she wants!”
Cornel was in a dilemma. Jacqueline shook his hand off, crying pathetically, “Cornel, you don’t have to
defend me. It’s my fault. I should be med! I deserve punishment!”
She wiped the tears away, “Dad, please punish me. I deserve it!”
“Jacqueline…you don’t have to…” Cornel felt so miserable for her.
Ynda also tried to help, “Grandpa, please. Mom has learned her lesson. Please forgive her!”
“Shut your fuck up!” George yelled, his eyes nearly popping out in fury, “Don’t tell me what to do! I am
the host of this house!”
Ynda was scared and cried, but she didn’t dare to cry out loud.

George stared at Jacqueline, “Bitch, just tell me how you treated Logan these years!”
“Dad…I…” Jacqueline was frozen.
George raised his eyebrows, “Come on, say it!”
Jacqueline bit her lip. She was too frightened to stop her body from trembling.
George stamped his foot in anger, “Don’t you tell? Then let me tell you! Cornel told me that you had
done so much for our family and raised Logan and Ynda up. Do you agree with him?”
“No…”
“Of course not! You are a homewrecker, ruining Logan’s family. Because of you! Logan moved to live
with his mom when he was still a child! His mom dreamt that Cornel woulde back to her till she
died! But Cornel didn’t! Just because of you!”
Jacqueline supported herself with her hands on the ground. The ground was so cold.
“Dad! I didn’t mean it…If I knew Cornel was married, I wouldn’t …”
“Don’t pretend you didn’t know it at all!” George said ironically. Everyone in H City knew that Cornel
was married. It was impossible for her not to know about it!
Jacqueline did not dare to grumble. George added, “You moved in right after Logan’s mom passed
away. And you thought you could be his mother. He just lost his mother and you wanted to take her
ce? How dare you!?”
“Dad…Please listen to my exnation.”
“Shut up!” George stopped her, continuing in anger, “Logan just stayed in this broken family for a few
years. And atst, he had to leave for a foreign country! I want to ask you. Have you ever cared about
him when he was abroad alone?!”
Cornel was so shameful that he didn’t show enough care to his own son.
Jacqueline was lowering her head silently. George was crying, “Don’t you know he lived a hard life
abroad? You didn’t offer him even a penny! Do you really treat him as your son?”
Cornel was shocked, “Dad, I sent him money on time…”
“Shut up! Do I permit you to talk now?” George red at him, “Yes, you said you sent him money. But
do you know that your Jacqueline took the money sending to Logan, so he didn’t even see a penny
from you!”
It was a great shock to Cornel. He looked at Jacqueline with great puzzlement.
She started to find an excuse, “Dad! It wasn’t true. I didn’t take the money. I don’t know why Logan
couldn’t get the money…I just found it turned out to be the wrong bnce ount …”
Then she pulled Cornel’s sleeve, “Honey, please trust me! You should trust me, shouldn’t you!?”
But disappointingly, Cornel shook off her hand, stepping back.
It was his first time to observe his wife carefully, but she was like a stranger now.
George said in a sad tone, “Son, I knew what Jacqueline had done to Logan. I punished her without
telling you. I thought I made her aware of her mistakes and she would treat Logan better. But it’s been
so many years! She never stopped hurting Logan and Elena!”
