Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 171

Elena knew so well what they planned to do. If they took Anna home now, there wouldn’t be any punishment! Anna would just get away with it!

How could she just get away! No way!

However, Grandpa George was already moved by Anna and didn’t want to see her suffering.

Therefore, Logan said with coldness, “Why do you stop here? You still want to teach your daughter how to behave herself, right? What are you doing now?”

Anna gritted her teeth, “Dad, just punish me as I deserve.”

“Anna...” Mrs. Lee wanted to pull her up, but the next second, she could see the veins on Mr. Lee’s forehead popping out because of anger and humiliation. He looked at Mrs. Lee and said, “Go and get a stick!”

“No.” Mrs. Lee shook her head, refusing.

However, the maid of the Browns fetched a stick for him just after hearing his “order”. “Mr. Lee, here you are.”

Seeing the stick, Yolanda was scared. She didn’t forget how painful she was when her father hit her legs with the stick before, which caused her staying in bed for days to recover. So now she immediately decided to stand by and keep silent. Jacqueline was right; she should defend herself rather than Anna.

Logan asked Elena to sit down next to him on the couch. They looked at them indifferently, like just watching a boring soap opera.

Mr. Lee grasped the stick, looking at Anna with sternness, “You had been lying to us for half a year! And you even made such a terrible mistake. So it is so fair to hit you with the stick for 50 times, isn’t it?”

Anna nodded her head in hatred, “Yes, it is!”

“Great!”

As soon as Mr. Lee finished his sentence, he raised the stick and hit on Anna mercilessly. He hit her so hard one after another, which made her scream and cry out of control.

Mrs. Lee was sobbing, counting in tears.

“1...2...”

“26...”

“48...49...50!”

“Enough! Enough! Fifty! Stop it!”

The punishment was just finished. Anna felt so painful that she didn’t even have energy to cry. She moaned in a hoarse voice. Mrs. Lee immediately helped her up.

But Anna was just too week to stand still. Her back was sore, and her cheek was swollen, which made her look pathetic.

But Anna turned to Elena stubbornly, “Elena, are you satisfied now!?”

“So are you remorseful for your crime?” Elena answered her with a question.

Anna took a deep breath, gritting her teeth, “Yes! I am.”

Elena smiled, as if she forgave Anna, “Alright. Then we are even now. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, you can take Anna home now. I forgive her.”

After hearing her words, Mr. Lee relaxed, and handed the stick to the maid. Then he left with Anna and his wife.

Once they left, the atmosphere turned brisk. And Elena felt a bit relieved. In fact, she didn’t want to make a fuss, but Anna forced her to do so.

Since Anna insisted to irritate her, well, she should let her know the consequence.

“Elena, why do you have to do this? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Anna just made a mistake.” Jacqueline couldn’t help complaining.

Elena snorted, “Wow, you think of a crime as a mistake? Interesting. By the way, she should’ve done it in a cleverer way.”

Since Anna had the nerve to play dirty, she’d better leave no chance for anyone to know about it. And now her cover was blown, she deserved the punishment.

Jacqueline never expected that Elena would retort her before everyone. She felt so embarrassed that she got no respect from Elena.

Yolanda was angry with Elena because she made Anna suffer. And now she was even angrier because Elena didn’t show her respect to her mother, so she argued in an unpleasant tone, “Elena, I don’t think so. Yes, Anna made mistakes. But the punishment was too much! Come on, look at you. Everything’s fine and you are healthy now. But she suffered and cried so hard! She will have to stay in bed for days or even weeks! Why are you still unhappy about it! You’ve gone too far!”

“Yolanda!” Logan looked at her in rages, which frightened her into staying silent, “Watch your words! You are not entitled to speak for Anna! You should remember who your family is!”

“Logan…” Yolanda snorted, “But I didn’t say anything wrong. Elena didn’t suffer at all anyway…”

Suddenly she stopped since someone pinched her arm so heavily and she felt so hurt. It was Jacqueline. And Grandpa George was also looking at her sternly and coldly.

“Mom, I…”

Jacqueline glared at her, and said angrily, “Shut up! What are you talking? Stop the bullshit!”

“Stop!” Grandpa George couldn’t stand all this anymore, “Jacqueline, take Yolanda to her room now! You should teach her what she should say and what she shouldn’t say.”

Jacqueline nodded respectfully, “Yes.” The she dragged Yolanda back to the room.

Grandpa George sighed, feeling ashamed, “Elena, I know you have been wronged this time.”

“Grandpa. It’s my fault. It was my carelessness that gave them the chance to hurt Elena.” Logan said courteously but distantly.

Grandpa George understood Logan was blaming him in fact. He explained, “I know I shouldn’t have helped Anna just now, but I don’t want to ruin the friendship between our families...”

Elena bit her lip. She knew that a big family cared about friendships very much. But Anna was just outrageous.

“Grandpa, I hope you can understand. You care about the friendship with the Lees, but I don’t. It has nothing to do with me. If you want me to treat them well, you should ask them not to make any trouble from now on!” Logan said sternly, “Grandpa, this is not a trivial matter. I don’t mean to be harsh; I just want Elena to live a happy life. That’s it!”

Grandpa George knew what he meant, and nodded, “Okay, okay. It’s over now. You can go home.” the next second, he sighed again and looked at Elena, “I am so sorry that I didn’t help you just now. I have to weigh and consider. I am so sorry, Elena.”

Elena whispered, “Grandpa, I know it is not easy for you. But it is not easy for me, either. I am sorry.”

She had tolerated too much, which made Anna believe she was timid and could not do anything to defend herself. So she had no choice but to become tougher and braver!

“Good girl.” Grandpa George patted her head, with distress and guilt.

Elena looked away, standing up and saying, “We should go home now. Take care.”

George closed his eyes and responded, “Alright. I won’t urge you anymore about the baby thing. Your health is the priority. Take good care of yourself.”

Feeling his care, Elena smiled, “I will, Grandpa.”
