To Rise in Society
After that, Anna did not say anything ore to see anyone of the Brown family.
The new year was approaching, but George was quite critical of Cornel due to thepany. Besides,
he kept mentioning Logan. Apparently, he had been thinking about Logan now!
Jacqueline realized it. Then she began to contact the person that she had found before when she had
time. “How’s it going with them?”
“Good. We’ve got them under our control.”
Jacqueline could not resist frowning when she heard the sound, “Why do I feel your voice sounds not
so familiar?”
“That’s because of the weather. And I also have to keep an eye on them, so I''ve got this damn cold.”
He said in a sullen voice.
Jacqueline gave an apologetic smile, “Thanks. When it’s settled, I’ll give you a bunch of money.”
“Don’t break your promise.”
“Of course I won’t.” Jacqueline replied quickly.
The man on the other end of phone was contented, “Then it’s worth trying.”
Matt was the one that Jacqueline hired to damage Logan’s car. And now his brother, Aiden, was
watching them.
In this world, brotherhood would neverpare with money.
“OK, that’s good. I feel relieved now.”
Jacqueline hung up the phone and took a breath.
“Mom…”
Jacqueline was so frightened by the sudden voice that she let out a scream. She turned around in
panic and saw Ynda. Then she pped Ynda on her head angrily, “Silly girl, you''re scaring me.”
Ynda was disgruntled. “You were too focused talking in the phone to hear my footsteps. I’ve called
you several times.”
Jacqueline was still frightened. She patted her chest and took a look outside the door – there was no
one. “Does your dad know you’vee?”
“He knows.” Ynda answered candidly. “I told dad I wanted toe to you for a chat so that you were
not so bored.”
“What about George?”
“Grandpa went out this early morning. He used to hang out because of the parrot. But now he still goes
out every day even his parrot died. And no one knows where he goes and what he has done.” Ynda
was moaning.
Jacqueline tapped on her head again. “Careless talk leads to trouble. You can say these in front of me.
But do not mention it when you are in the vi. We don’t know whether Logan had arranged for
someone there.”
Nodding, Ynda stuck her tongue out at her mom, “I know.”
“You’d better know indeed.” Jacquelineined.
Ynda held her mom’s wrist with a grin, “Mom, I’ve convinced Anna the other day. I think she will
come to Elena recently.”
Jacqueline threw cold water on her idea when she saw Ynda wascent. “Stop meddling with
her. You really think she’s able to do something?”
“Why not? She is Anna Lee. Don’t you think she is quite fiendish?”
“She was!”
But now she became notorious. And what she could do now was to deceive herself. She would never
be Mrs. Brown in this case.
Ynda did not believe, so she sniffed. “I know what you mean. I do not really think of her as my sister-
inw. Moreover, Logan will be trampled upon by me. And I will not let off anyone who has connection
with him.”
Jacqueline saw a trace of coldness shed across Ynda’s eyes. Then she smiled in satisfaction,
“Ynda, that’s my girl.”
Only in this way could they surpass others. Then they did not need to try hard to please George and
Cornel.”
“Mom, you should take the credit.” Ynda ttered her.
Jacqueline chuckled and then released her grip on Ynda’s hand. “You should go home now. Just
keep badgering your dad to designate you as a manager in thepany. Then you will be more
influential when you take over thepany in the future.”
Ynda was disconste, “Well, that’s too tiresome!”
Jacqueline shot a re at her. “Only if you can stand the hardest of hardships can you hope to rise in
society.”

“I…” Ynda gazed at the floor in grievance, “I know.”
Then Jacqueline was pleased. She nodded and let Ynda go.

When Jacqueline just hung up her phone, Jacob opened the office door and came in. He walked to
Logan, “Jacqueline just called them. But we’ve been watching them, so nothing goes wrong.”
“What about the guys she arranged for?”
“They all confessed, and they are now imprisoned. They can confront her face to face after a few days.
She will have to admit.”
“Well, if we want her to admit that, we need to make Cornel distrust her at first. He will lose his mind
every time when Jacqueline cries.”
And Cornel would support her eventually. What Elena had through just proved that.
Jacob thought for a while, but he could not get a clue. Then he just stood motionless.
Logan took a deep breath and sighed, “y it by ear. I wille to meet Matt personally. He is
submissive to Jacqueline because she has controlled the lives of his family. I want to see what will he
do if Ie to him.”
Jacob nodded, “OK, I’ll make arrangements for you to meet him.”
Logan gave an approving nod.
When they were talking, the sound of someone knocking the door interrupted them. Logan nced at
him, “It’s Elena.”
Jacob realized Logan wanted to be alone with Elena, so he gave a smile, “Then I’m leaving now. Call
me if you need any help.”
“OK.”
Jacob walked out and opened the door for Elena.
Smiling, Elena was standing outside the door with two thermal sks in her hands. Before Jacob took
any action, she had already given one sk to him. “Jacob, it’s the chicken soup made by Mia. That’s
too much, so you can have one.”
Jacob was ttered and took the sk, “Thank you, Mrs. Brown.”
“Nothing.” Elena waved her hand. She did not care such triviality at all. Then she walked into the office
briskly.
Logan stopped her, “You are now pregnant. Why are you still so careless?”
“No. The floor was oveid with the rugs. Besides, I won’t fell.”
“So, you even want to fell to the ground?” Logan lifted his hand and knocked on her head slightly. But
she still felt the pain and then covered her head with her hand.
“No. I’m good.”
“I don’t believe.”
Elena rolled her eyes and ignored his word. Then she raised the sk in her hand and shook it. “I bring
you the soup specially. You can’t do that to me.”
