In the Bush family, Mason was distracted by the debts these days. But there was no way out! Logan simply did not care about his company, and Jeremy was even worse than him. He wasn’t ambitious and just stayed in the small company. It was impossible for him to offer a few funds!
This day, Emma came back from shopping with Caroline this day and bought a few bags and dresses. Mason went to her and happened to see the bill, nearly 300,000, and he was furious, "You're such a black sheep! The company is in such a slump, and you're spending so much!"
"Dad, what are you doing? I just got married, I didn't even go abroad for my honeymoon. Can't I spend a little money on shopping for my own happiness, huh?" Emma complained.
"Then you have to see how the company is going now! Three hundred thousand dollars, I could have settled the workers' wages!"
She was a little surprised, "Dad, you don't even have 300,000 now, huh? You are kidding, right? Jeremy gave you a lot of money. How could you not have 300,000?"
Mason unnaturally looked away from her probing gaze, "All locked up in stocks. What can I do?" He said, turning to Emma, "Jeremy's company is running properly. Just ask him to lend me a million now, I'll settle the workers first and then find out what happens to the goods."
Emma was not happy to hear this, but did not show it, "Jeremy's company is so small. How can we give you a million at once ah? There would be a deficit if we are short of money!"
"So you're just going to watch me go bankrupt!" Mason sulked, "Emma, you know that you're all I have now."
"Dad, you can turn to Logan!" She suggested.
Mason's face darkened even more as he heard the words. If he had a way to convince Logan, why would he stay here and discuss with her?
Emma smiled sarcastically, "Dad, Elena has a soft heart. You just keep talking to her, she would say yes finally."
After a period of silence, Mason said, "Emma, are you unwilling to help me?"
Emma stuttered but she immediately put on her smile and explained, "That is impossible! I have a card, there's only two hundred thousand left in it. You can take it now. But you know Jeremy, it's not easy for him either."
With the card in hand, Mason became happy, thinking, "Emma is always better than Elena!"
On the other hand, Mason took Emma's money and had deeper bias against Elena. He wanted to confront Elena and talked to her face to face. So he just waited outside her villa and tried to stop her directly there.
Elena looked at the man who suddenly appeared and froze, "Dad, when did you get here?"
"Long ago. I have been waiting for you!" Mason said sarcastically.
Elena sighed and said, "Come in first, it is cold outside."
It was in October in H City and was already a little cool with wind keeping blowing. If you stayed outside for long, you would definitely shiver for coldness. Elena was not heartless. In fact, her heart softened as soon as she saw his frozen lips.
It was the first time for Mason to come inside the villa. When he looked around, he was shocked!
Just one antique in this house could easily solve the company's problem. But they were just too mean and didn’t want to offer help.
On the second floor, Logan finished his video conference exactly when Elena returned and came downstairs, just in time to meet up with Mason.
"Logan, you are here." Mason laughed.
Logan nodded slightly, "Mr. Brown."
Elena had gone to the kitchen to make tea and there were only two men in the living room. Mason explained, "I happened to be walking around the neighborhood today and ran into Elena, so she called me in."
Logan just smiled and didn't respond. The surrounding area was full of villas, unimaginably large. Why should he walk around? If he did, how came he just ran into Elena? This was such a lame lie. But Logan didn’t spot the lie. He just didn't want Elena to get hurt again because of him.
"Lo...Logan..." Mason stood aside and was afraid to sit down.
There was a commotion from the kitchen and Logan mused, "I heard that your company has a bit of trouble lately?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mason nodded quickly "Logan, since you know that, you should know why I came over. and I won't beat around the bush. The company has trouble turning over lately and I want to borrow some money from you ..."
"You can't just lend money as he ask!" Elena was a bit exasperated, "Five million? It’s a lot! you are not unfamiliar with him! If there's a first time, there will be a second time, it'll just never end!"
She knew Mason's nature better than anyone! He was like a vampire, constantly demanding and eventually growing himself.
Logan couldn't help but let out a low laugh at her anxious look, "You're heartbroken about your husband's money?"
His large hands put around her waist and brought her into his arms. Elena remained on her toes to keep her body from pressing into him, "No, I'm just a little angry."
It wasn't the first time, and if this continued, she would only feel that she owed him more and more, more than she could ever pay back.
Logan, however, misunderstood her, and used his tip of high nose to rub her collarbone, teasing, "Don't be afraid, even if he wants more, your husband can still afford to give and provide for you."
Only, it depended on his mood whether to give next time!
Elena blushed at his words, thinking that they were still the living room. She immediately withdrew from his embrace, clearing her throat and saying properly, "Nonsense. You can stay here and reflect yourself. I'll help Mia in the kitchen!" She disappeared in a flash and Logan's doting smile spilled out in his face.
Jacob saw Elena leave and then came up, "Sir, Jacqueline has taken action."
The smirk on Logan's face immediately withdrew and he asked seriously, "What is it?"
"Recently she seems to have been speaking to Mr. Brown, trying to get him to come over and convince you to give Yolanda the company of your grandfather. If not, he will give her the Brown company, and said ..."
"Said what?"
"Said that even if she only had a daughter, she couldn’t always be so modest without a status, and that she felt disgraced when she went out. She claimed that Mr. Brown was unfair to Yolanda."
Logan smiled coldly, "Leave her alone. I want to see what she can get for Yolanda!"
