Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 244

Jacqueline was scared. She wanted to hold Cornel’s hand, hoping that he would help her. But he just looked at her in disgust.

“Cornel! Believe me! I really didn’t mean it! I never hurt Logan. I never want to hurt him. And I never think of killing his baby!”

George hit the ground with his stick, making a dull sound. “I know I am old. I don’t want to care too much at my age. But this time, Jacqueline has gone too far!”

“Dad…What do you want?” Jacqueline asked, looking uneasy.

He glanced at her, “From this minute on, you will move to another room alone. You can’t come here without my permission in six months. You are grounded. Stay in your room and reflect on what you’ve done!”

No one could go against George. Jacqueline was so angry. She thought she would be hit by him, but now she was grounded!

Yolanda felt a bit relieved. At least, her own mother wouldn’t get hurt. It was just six months. It wasn’t a long time.

George didn’t want to stay with them in the living room anymore. He stood up and went to his bedroom.

Yolanda helped Jacqueline up who wiped her tears away and said in a low tone to Cornel, “Cornel…I know you don't trust me. But I have to explain that I never did anything to Logan! I never did what dad said just now. I had no idea why Logan couldn’t get the money; and he never contacted us, I…”

But Cornel seemed to be in chaos. He refused to see her, turning his back to her, “Will you stop denying and just be quiet? I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Go and get your things and move as dad said.”

Jacqueline was angry. A flash of hatred crossed her eyes. She clenched her fists. “Alright…” said she in the end.

Yolanda patted her back to soothe her, “Mom, I will go with you.” Then they went upstairs together.

But just stepping into her bedroom, Jacqueline pushed Yolanda away. Yolanda didn't expect this and hit the door, which was so painful.

Jacqueline started to scold her, “Useless! Don’t pretend to help me now! Why didn’t you help me just now?!”

Yolanda knew it was her fault, so she didn’t argue.

Jacqueline fumed, “Six months! I have to stay in the tiny room for six months! Who knows what will happen in the six months? Elena is safe and so is the bastard in her belly!”

Yolanda couldn’t bear and yelled, “It’s all your fault!”

“My fault?!”

“Yes! It’s all your fault! You are not clever enough to set her up! What you’ve done is too damn stupid! Anyway, you are just too stupid to make it!”

“You…” Jacqueline was irritated, “How dare you defy your mother! Stop retorting me, you stupid useless bastard!”

“Mom!” Yolanda tried to explain, “Can’t you see it? Grandpa takes Logan’s side. No matter what we do, Grandpa won’t listen to us!”

“Stop it! Don’t look down on us!” Jacqueline stared at her.

Yolanda didn’t say anything anymore.

Jacqueline gathered up her things and was ready to move to another room, “Easy. I will be there for only one month. Then you find a way to help me. Christmas is coming. It’s the most important festival for family gatherings. George will listen to you if you suggest I should get out.”
