Chapter 117
\nPresiden’s wild wife novel Chapter 117<\/p>\n
Everyone was shocked by Yolanda\u2019s scream. And their first response was to check whether Anna got hurt!<\/p>\n
Holding Anna\u2019s bleeding fingers, Mrs. Lee was so worried, “What happened? You are wounded! How?”<\/p>\n
“God! Let me check. Is it deep? Shall we call the doctor?” Jacqueline said.<\/p>\n
Logan came in his wheelchair. Seeing Elena left aside by the crowd, he restrained his anger and said with a long face, “Is it painful?”<\/p>\n
“No,” Elena took a handkerchief to cover the wound. She shook her head, “It\u2019s not deep. Don\u2019t worry.”<\/p>\n
Anna was surrounded by the crowd. When asked what happened, she replied slowly, “Elena took the pot and it was too hot. She dropped it to the ground. I meant to help but…”<\/p>\n
Hearing this, they looked at Elena with complaint.<\/p>\n
Yolanda curled her lips, “Oh, Elena, how could you do this? You dropped the hot soup and had Anna clear the mess for you?”<\/p>\n
“No, Yolanda. I asked for it myself. I was clumsy.” Anna pretended to defend Elena.<\/p>\n
“But after all, you wouldn\u2019t have gotten hurt if it weren\u2019t for her!” Yolanda said in anger. She glanced at Logan, “Logan, come and see. Anna\u2019s finger is bleeding!”<\/p>\n
Logan didn\u2019t even look at her. He grasped Elena\u2019s hand and turned around, “You need a doctor, not me!”<\/p>\n
“But\u2026”<\/p>\n
“Enough!” Grandpa George was watching this in silence. He interrupted her, “It was an accident. Stop talking nonsense. Yolanda, go and call the doctor!”<\/p>\n
Logan sneered in his heart. He took Elena out of the kitchen without a word, and asked the housekeeper to bring the medical kit.<\/p>\n
Elena sat in the sofa and quietly let him disinfect the wound. After bandaging the wound, he raised his face and asked, “How did you get wounded?”<\/p>\n
“Never mind…”<\/p>\n
“Elena!” Logan was unhappy about her answer.<\/p>\n
Elena sighed. Thinking of Anna\u2019s purpose, she felt wronged, “It was not me. She pulled my hand and cut my finger. I was astounded…” Her voice was becoming lower and lower, as if she was admitting her mistakes.<\/p>\n
Logan\u2019s eyes got cold at once. He asked icily, “Why?”<\/p>\n
“She asked for a bet with me to see who you care more.” Elena said softly. But sensing that the air was getting colder, she quickly shook her head and denied, “But I didn\u2019t accept!”<\/p>\n
It was Anna that thought herself knew everything and couldn\u2019t wait to prove something.<\/p>\n
Logan was somewhat self-blamed. Were it not for him, Anna wouldn\u2019t have come up with such a crazy idea to make a bet.<\/p>\n
“Ignore her. She is a lunatic now.” he said sternly.<\/p>\n
“Do I? Yolanda, when did I say I was wronged by HER?” Elena looked down at her wounded finger. How ridiculous it was! She was innocent but Yolanda wouldn\u2019t let her go!<\/p>\n
Yolanda was so annoyed by her sharp tone that she had to find an ally. Jacqueline always tried to make trouble for Elena. Now there was a chance and she must seize it well. She nodded and said, “We all know Anna since she was little. She won\u2019t lie about it. Elena, do you need evidence for an apology?”<\/p>\n
Elena smiled and asked, “Then what if I tell you that the pot wasn\u2019t dropped by me, and she just cut her finger with a broken porcelain piece, instead of getting hurt when helping me clear the mess?”<\/p>\n
“How could that be!” Mrs. Lee was displeased, “You are the daughter-in-law of the Brown family. And we respect you for that! But my Anna can never do this!”<\/p>\n
“Well, you don\u2019t believe me, then what\u2019s the point in my explanation? You should just ask me to admit it directly,” Elena curled her lips with an unhappy look.<\/p>\n
Logan asked Elena, “Did you ever touch that pot?”<\/p>\n
“No,” she answered quickly. Anna dropped the pot without giving her a chance to touch it.<\/p>\n
Logan smiled charmingly, “The answer is very simple. There should be Elena\u2019s fingerprints on the pot if she took it and then dropped it.”<\/p>\n
He was right!<\/p>\n
Anna and Yolanda\u2019s faces paled visibly with nervousness.<\/p>\n
Cornel, who had been silent for a long time, couldn\u2019t help roaring, “Nonsense! Why it is so hard to have a meal in peace? Do remember it\u2019s a family day. Don\u2019t make a fuss anymore!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1656","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
