Presiden's wild wife

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.
