“Do you know why I asked you here?”
“You know what, it’s not Jeremy’s baby. So what? You can do nothing to me.”
“I love Jeremy...”
Emma’s voice from the recording showed how arrogant and crazy she was as if she didn’t care about anything at all. Elena clicked “Pause” at once, looking at Emma composedly, “Emma, do you want to deny it?”
“I never said that! It’s not me!” Emma stared at her with great astonishment. She couldn’t believe that she said such words. She tried to recall what she had said on that day, however, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t have any clue.
Elena said in a calm tone, “What? Do I need to continue? Or, I should ask Jeremy and Mason here and play it for them. Maybe they will have some questions to ask you. And you can introduce your drama in which you acted so well on that day.”
“You are telling lies! It’s fake! Absolutely fake!” Emma was completely out of mind, which made her head aching and dizzy.
“You know the best if it’s real,” Elena kept smiling, but in fact, she was nervous.
Observing Emma’s reaction, she was tensed. Of course she knew the recording was fake. The voice was from Emma but the conservation was clipped from Emma’s conversation with Catherine last time. She made the fake recording in order to cheat Emma.
Obviously, Emma was too shocked to think of it, especially after a terrible knock on her head and a miscarriage.
Elena didn’t miss the chance to beat her down, “Emma, I am nice to you just because I think you are my sister. But till now, you have never treated me as your sister. And in fact, I don’t have biological relation with the Bushes. So why do I have to show my mercy to you? You said I killed your baby, didn’t you? Then I can show them the recording, and let them know who the hell killed your baby!”
“Ah!” Emma screamed, raising her head and staring at her in anger, “Yes! I set you up! So what? You are just a slut, a bitch, a bastard. Elena! You ruined my life! You should go to hell! You should get out of my life!”
“I never ruined your life. And I never do anything bad to you. You treat me as an enemy, but I never. I never mean to take anything away from you...”
Before Elena could finish the sentence, Emma interrupted, “You never take anything away from me? The Bushes isn’t your family, but you stole their love! And they wanted me to marry Logan, a disabled man? How can I marry him!”
So, she stole Jeremy from Elena. She wanted to see how miserable Elena would be. However, things didn’t go as she wished. Elena didn’t live a miserable, awful life, but a happy, wealthy one! She was so jealous!
And the hatred was growing day by day inside Emma, which would never have an end. And finally, it burst out.
“So what?” Elena could tell the craziness in her eyes. She didn’t care if she was in a good health or not. She walked towards her and threw a slap on her face without hesitation. “Emma Bush. Though you hate me, you shouldn’t hurt your baby.”
When she planned to set Elena up risking her own life and baby’s life, did she know that someone would sacrifice everything to have her own baby?
Emma was pressed by the nurses and taken back to the ward. She couldn’t do anything but watch Elena leaving here safe and sound, yelling, “Elena! Come back!”
Elena pretended not to hear anything. She kept walking and had a look on her phone. She quickly deleted the fake recording. What she wanted was the recording she took today. With it, she could defend herself though Mason tried to blame her.
Once she walked out of the building, she took a deep breath. Wow, the air was so fresh without Emma around!
The car was still waiting at the same place. It was Logan’s. She opened the door, surprised, “You didn’t leave?”
Logan reached out his hand to her, “So quickly. You got what you wanted?”
“Of course! Come on, I am Elena!” She said in a happy tone, showing the recording to him.
Actually, she was so surprised that she could make Emma talk in such an easy way this time.
Elena smiled, “You know, she won’t speak if I ask her directly. But if I show her some ‘evidence’, she might fall into the trap and tell the truth. Anyway, I got what I wanted!”
Logan looked at Elena. She was very excited and happy. He just couldn’t help looking at her with affection.
