Chapter 206 George’s Unexpected Visit
“She’ll be sent back to the mental hospital. If she refuses it, sue her for slandering and spreading false rumors! She should think about it and make her decision, stay in a mental hospital or in prison.
“Is the penalty too mild?” Jacob said after a moment of hesitation.
Logan said, “Do you think Mason Bush will do nothing to help his daughter?”
Though Mason was a craven and useless old man, he would sacrifice everything to protect Emma. So in the end, Emma might just go to the mental hospital as well.
Mason should know what was the best for Emma. At least. Logan gave him a choice; if Mason chose to let Emma get sentenced, he did the right thing. But if he chose to defend Emma no matter what she’d done, Logan wouldn’t just let it go.
Jacob understood and said, “Alright. I’ll arrange it after dealing with the fake news.”
“No hurry. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. Take a good rest. You have been really busy these days.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Logan nodded and was about to hang up the phone. The leader seemed to know it and was yelling on the phone to beg Logan, “Please, Mr. Brown! I’m begging you…”
But Logan ignored him, and hung up the phone without hesitation.

The morning came. Elena checked the phone as she woke up. As expected, the news about KL being sold down the river was hitting the headline. And the news clearly showed that how KL turned things around and successfully got the bid at the end of the story.
Now many people thought highly of KL. Instead of criticizing the spy, they appreciated KL’s intelligence and calmness.
Elena looked at Logan with confusion and asked, “Did you pay for the good comments?”
“What?”
“Well, I am thinking that there are so many onlookers. Look at them, they are making the analysis about this business affair like experts. And they are praising what KL has done, too.”
While talking, she showed him the comments.
Logan embraced her waist and took the phone to have a look. Then he smiled and asked her, “Why do you think I paid for it?”
“A guess.”
He smiled and shook his head, “Well, don’t underestimate the netizen. They are more clever than you can imagine.”
Elena agreed with him. She still remembered how quickly her background was found and posted without her permission by the netizen as the fake news was released. They even found out that it was Emma who should marry Logan at first. They were so “capable”!
While she was thinking, Logan covered her eyes with his hand, “OK, now stop reading. It’s good news that you have been forgotten, isn’t it?”
She nodded to show her agreement. Now she couldn’t see anything because of his hand. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Then he added, “Are you sleepy now? Get more sleep.”
After a moment of thinking, she shook her head and pulled his hand, “No. I get too much sleep in winter. I don’t want to be as lazy as a pig!”
“Well, you are ready to be put on the table as a dinner, aren’t you?” He raised his eyebrows, teasing her.
Elena didn’t think it was funny, she gave him a punch slightly and complained, “What are you talking about?! It’s not funny!”
“I’m just telling the truth. Am I wrong?”
Elena didn’t want to argue with him, “Stop it! Let’s get up. I am afraid Grandpa is on his way to us.”
“But he promised that he wouldn’t come.” Logan didn’t want to get up, rubbing against her with affection.
“You know Grandpa so well, don’t you?! What if he breaks his promise and comes to us as he likes?”
She was right. Logan sighed and let her go, “Fine. I’ll listen to you.”
She jumped out of the bed at once. Looking at the bandage wrapping his back, she couldn’t help worrying, “Are you OK? I mean, your wound. Do you need to change the bandage?”
“The doctor will do it later.”
“I’ve told you I can help, haven’t I?!” She said in an unhappy tone.
Logan smiled, “Are you sure you can do a better job than a doctor? I think the doctor is much more skillful than you.”
Elena wanted to argue but she couldn’t because he was right. So she was silent. Logan patted her head gently, trying to comfort her, “Don’t worry about me, OK? You can help me apply the medicine
when I don’t need the bandage.”
Elena snorted, “Liar!” What he said was just an excuse.
Logan was still smiling. In fact, he didn’t want her to know how badly he got hurt. He knew his wound must upset her.
At that moment, Grandpa George was calling her. And she found that he was standing outside the gate, waiting for them.
Elena hurriedly opened the gate for him, and asked, “Grandpa, why are you here? You said you wouldn’t come before.”
“Well…I bring some medicine to you. It’s good for healing.” said Grandpa George awkwardly.
Elena smiled and led him into the living room. “Did they say anything? I mean the Browns.”
“Don’t talk to me about the jerks!” Grandpa George was so angry, “How could they punish you behind my back! They didn’t listen to me! They showed no respect to me!”
“Take it easy, Grandpa, it’s over.”
“No, it’s not!” Grandpa George stamped his feet, “I know I am old, but I am not silly. Look at them, they are younger than me, but they always do the stupid things!”
“Grandpa…”
“Elena, I know you haven’t forgiven them. But don’t hate Cornel. He is a dumb man, who is always doing something stupid affected by Jacqueline!”
Elena was listening silently.
He sighed, and stopped talking about his dumb son. He gave the medicine to Elena and said, “This can help the wound recover. Apply it to his wound whenever necessary.”
Elena looked at him with confusion, “Grandpa, you are not going to see him?”
“No. I am afraid he is unwilling to see me now.”
“No, he isn’t.”
“You don’t have to comfort me. I know him so well. He is so stubborn that no one could persuade him.”
She bit her lip, holding the bottle even more tightly. He added, “I am leaving now. Don’t tell him that I came by. As for his dad and Jacqueline, I will deal with them. They won’t bother you. You don’t need to worry.”
“Alright.” Elena smiled mildly, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
George smiled, too. “I am your Grandpa; I will always take your side and defend you.”
