A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1348

Sheldon managed to capture Sophie and Cameron and learned that Eleanor was still alive. He wanted to relay the news to Bernard, but he didn't have the clearance to access the bio-chem sector.

The bio-chem sector was beyond his jurisdiction and it didn't concern his interests. He hadn't placed any spies there and now found himself in a bit of a pickle.

Through rumor mills, Sheldon had learned that Bernard was the leader of the Siren Organization. Many puppeteers in the Ace wanted Yates to eliminate Bernard.

However, Yates had not executed Bernard but kept him locked in the bio-chem sector. Peterson had even instructed a doctor to treat Bernard.

The excuse of extracting information about the founder of the Siren Organization from Bernard was convincing enough for most, but not for Sheldon. He thought it would be more logical to use severe punishment to extract information from Bernard, so why send a doctor to treat him?

This was not in line with Yates' usual practices. He was known to personally punish captured members of the Siren Organization, let alone its leader.

Sheldon suspected that Yates had other reasons to keep Bernard alive, but he couldn't figure out what they might be.

While Sheldon was processing these thoughts, he received a call from Peterson, asking him to meet Yates.

After hanging up and feeling puzzled, he left his current task and headed for A City. Using the evasion route provided by Peterson, he sneaked into the backyard of the Sharp family mansion and made his way to Yates' study.

Yates was making coffee when Sheldon arrived. He gestured for Sheldon to sit on the couch and poured him a cup of coffee. "I wanted to ask you something," he said, getting straight to the point.

Sheldon took the coffee from Yates and asked, "What is it, boss?"

"We're not in Area Opaca, so you don't need to call me boss here," replied Yates.

"Alright, Mr. Sharp," Sheldon corrected himself quickly.

Yates was a commanding presence, whether in Area Opaca or in private. When conversing with him directly, it was hard not to feel a sense of respect and fear.

Yates didn't beat around the bush. "I saw Eleanor in a surveillance video the other day. She looks a lot like my girlfriend," he said.
