Chapter 3: The Bet
Chapter 3: The Bet
It was like a significant bet. She chose Logan and gambled with her whole life.
As promised, a grand wedding was held in H City. However, everyone knew the purpose of the Bush family.
Elena looked beautiful in a saintly bustier wedding dress, showing off her delicate collarbone and shoulder. Her neckline was decorated with a dazzling diamond necklace.
Emma took Jeremy's arm and was full of smiles, "Congratulations! Sister, you have got what you want."
"Blessing on you too. You have also got what you want. When you get married, remember to let me know, and I will prepare you with a great gift." Elena smiled. She had already accepted her fate.
Emma knew the hidden meaning in Elena’s words and smiled, "Elena, you are so proud now."
Elena smiled recklessly, glanced at her, and then continued: "Don't worry, I will always be this proud and live a happy life!"
"Bitch!" just as Emma spoke, a low voice came behind her, "Bitch?"
Elena turned around, only to realize that Logan appeared out of blue. He was in a tailored tuxedo and his natural dignity made people subconsciously afraid to look up.
"Who are you referring to?" he reached out to take Elena’s hand, with his gaze landing on Emma.
Emma cursed in secret, not daring to move, and faked a smile, "Nobody."
"Hmm?" He asked as if questioning her.
Elena smiled slightly, and said, "Nobody? Weren't you referring to me just now? How come you forget that so quickly?"
"Elena!" Jeremy called her anxiously.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Elena immediately interrupted him, stressing the words 'Brother-in-law', with her eyes full of sarcasm.
Jeremy looked at her with disapproval, as if he was chastising her for what she said, and Elena only found it amusing. What was he doing? Did he think she still loved him when he already cheated on her?
"Did Miss Bush just insult my wife?" Logan narrowed his eyes, not about to let her go.
Emma was flustered and said, "No, it was a misunderstanding." She raised her eyes and shed tears, "Logan, you know that I should be your bride. But fate just plays jokes. I don't blame anyone. We are not destined to be together. I just sincerely hope you live a happy life. But Elena doesn't appreciate it and hurt me, that's why I…"
She was truly good at telling lies. Elena was almost fooled by her.
But Elena wasn’t going to stand and endure,"Sister, aren't you with Jeremy now? Besides, Logan is my husband. Do you really know what you are talking about?"
Emma looked at Jeremy worriedly, full of innocence.
Jeremy glared at her and said, "Elena, you don't have to incite between us. Emma is not that kind of person!"
Elena sneered and said, "Of course you know what kind of person she is. She is the person who doesn't want to marry Logan, and the same person who complains about not marring him. Well, maybe she's just trying to get you both."
"I am not..."
"You are talking nonsense!" Jeremy was annoyed.
Logan held Elena's hand quietly, and said with a cold expression: "You are my only wife in my heart. No one can replace you!
She was his wife? Elena wished that Jeremy could say these words to her before, but things had changed now!
Emma didn't dare to be reckless again and hid behind Jeremy, whispering, "Jeremy I'm sorry. I said that just because I didn’t want him to find out we set him up."
Jeremy's heart ached as he hugged her, "I believe you."
Emma lowered her head and played with her fingers in grief. Later, Mason came over. Seeing Emma's grief, his face changed immediately, but he only warned Elena coldly, considering Logan was present.
"Elena, she’s your sister. You've got what you want. What else do you want!"
Elena chilled and answered, "Nothing. If you don’t want to see her suffer, then tell her not to mess with me." After saying that, she put her hands on Logan's wheelchair and was ready to leave, but Logan stopped her and said, "Mr. Bush."
"Yes, Logan," Mason answered quickly.
Logan smiled and said very clearly, "My wife is Elena, not Emma."
Suddenly, both Mason’s and Emma's faces paled. Logan was warning them not to mention the past things again.
Mason faked a smile and responded, "Logan, we're family now. There is no need to draw a clear line between things."
"If you treat Elena as a family member, then I will definitely treat you as family." Logan answered. This was also a warning to them.
Elena was startled no one had ever been so protective to her in her memory...
While Emma was jealous of Logan's love for Elena, but she reminded herself that even if they seemed to be happy now, she still had to spend the rest of her life with a disabled man.
Thinking of this, Emma showed a satisfied smile, watching Elena’s figure with hatred.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
