Chapter 241 The Missing Recording
Jacqueline searched for her phone to show them the recording. However, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t find it. It just disappeared!
“It’s impossible…”
She tried again and again, but she could find nothing.
An idea came to her suddenly. She turned to look at Logan. But he just seemed calm, as if he already knew she couldn't show them the evidence.
“It’s you, right?!” She stared at him in fury.
Logan said, “What do you mean?”
George couldn’t wait any longer, “Just show us the evidence! Are you making fun of us?”
“No…The recording is gone…I don’t know why…”
“Recording?” Logan asked, “What is it about?”
“The recording contains the conversation between you and Elena. You two were discussing how to set me up! I heard it myself! Stop lying to us!”
Her remarks made George and Cornel even angrier. While Logan continued, “How could you hear our conversation? Are you putting a bug on us?”
Jacqueline stammered, so regretful to expose herself, “I…”
“Jacob!” Logan embraced Elena protectively, “Check Elena's and my phones. I wonder if there is anything suspicious!”
Jacob answered, “Yes, sir!”
Jacqueline was frightened now. But she had to compose herself, “What? Bug? This is my first time to know that thing! Don’t smear me…”
“We will figure out if we are smearing you,” said Logan, staring at her.
George and Cornel didn’t say anything. They were just waiting. And their expression suggested that they didn’t trust her at all.
“Yolanda…Help me…” Her voice was low and gravelly. She looked at Yolanda in hope.
But Yolanda stepped back to avoid her subconsciously. She didn’t dare to beg Grandpa or her father again. She was so afraid to irritate them and make things even worse.
After ten minutes later, Jacob came back to them with two bugs in his hand. “Here are the bugs. They seem to be in use for quite a long time!”
That was to say, no one had a clue about it till now.
Cornel was overwhelmed by anger and had a severe headache. “Bitch! Explain all these! What is it?!”
“I…I don’t know…really…” Actually, she only received the recording from the man; she knew nothing about bugs. She even didn’t know when and how the bugs were put in their phones.
“You put them in their phones, didn’t you!?”
“No, no, I didn’t! The man gave the recording to me. I don’t know anything about it! I am telling the truth! I don’t know who put them in their phones!” yelled she, almost bursting into tears.
Cornel looked at her and felt completely cold, “The man?”
Jacqueline nodded, “Yes! The man! He sent me the recording…but I don’t know why…I haven't even seen him…”
She didn’t tell Cornel the whole story about her deal with the man.
Logan sneered, “A stranger sent the recording of our conversation to you? Are you trying to fool us?”
“I don’t know!” Jacqueline insisted. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Okay. Show us the recording.”
“I…I can’t find it…”
Logan said, “Or the man wanted to play a trick on you. He made you believe that you got the evidence to beat us down, but then he withdrew the recording…”
Jacqueline had to admit that Logan might be right. He didn’t know about the recording, so he couldn't delete it. The man must have withdrawn the recording!
“Yes! The man set me up! I don’t know anything! It’s not my fault!” Jacqueline pulled Cornel’s hand, “Cornel, you are my husband! You know who I am. You should stand by my side!”
Cornel was hesitant, but George slapped him on his head, “Silly bastard! Do you still want to defend her at this point? Don’t be gullible!”
“Please! It’s so unfair! How can you doubt me? I am innocent!” Jacqueline was helpless and hopeless.
George sneered, “Don’t play innocent in front of me. You might fool Cornel, but it doesn’t work on me! I won’t trust you! Liar!”
His severe criticism embarrassed Jacqueline a lot.
None of them said a word. The dead silence was broken by Jacqueline, “Elena! Yes. It’s my fault to bring you chicken soup. And I shouldn’t have let Yolanda spray the perfume! But I really don’t know it will harm your baby…
“Right. I was pregnant, but no one told me what kind of food I should avoid. No one helped me. At that time, no one cared about me though I was pregnant. Not like Elena, being treated like a princess! Thank God, finally, I gave birth to Yolanda swimmingly; and she was a healthy baby. Anyway, Elena, I am sorry.”
Jacqueline’s remarks reminded Cornel of the worst memory. As a mistress, she lived with shame, hiding in a corner, giving birth to a baby girl for him.
Elena raised her head and looked at Jacqueline, “Do you mean that…you didn’t do it on purpose, did you?”
“No, I didn’t! I have to say, it’s an accident!” Jacqueline denied.
Elena wiped her fake tears away, “Due to your ‘accident’, I could lose my baby. Do you think your apology can make it up for me? If I said sorry for killing your daughter, would you just forgive me?”
She didn’t care if Jacqueline did it to her on purpose; it didn’t matter. But Jacqueline’s unscrupulous way to hurt her baby was inexcusable and unforgivable!
Jacqueline was shocked. Elena was silent and always hid her feelings. She wouldn’t show her hatred to people easily. She tried to be nice in front of people! It was so strange that she just expressed her hatred so obviously today.
Jacqueline said, “But your baby is fine and it is just an accident. Do you still want me to kneel down to apologize to you?”
“Who told you that my baby was fine?” Elena smiled, staring hard at her.
