A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 509

Eleanor walked out of the training center with her French book, only to see a group of suit-wearing, tie-sporting folks heading her way.

Bernard had mentioned that he'd send bodyguards to pick her up after class, so Eleanor assumed these were the guys.

She stayed put, not walking away, but then noticed a dude with a scar on his face leading the pack, and his expression wasn't too friendly.

"Ms. Shultz, do you know a Mr. Law?"

The name Mr. Law made Eleanor's heart race, and her hands holding the French book began to tremble.

Bernard had warned her that if Mr. Law's identity was revealed, he'd be in danger. How did this guy know about Mr. Law?

She clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down, and then put on a guarded face, "Who are you, and how do you know my name?"

Of course, the guy wasn't going to tell her who he was. He replied, "Answer me, do you know him or not?"

Eleanor was freaking out inside, but tried to play it cool, "Why should I respond to you when you won't answer my question?"

She was being difficult and the guy got annoyed, "You reported a crime at the police station and used the name Mr. Law, right?"

Eleanor turned pale. Did her reporting the crime expose Mr. Law's identity?

She gripped the book tightly, telling herself not to panic. She pretended to be calm, "I remember now, that did happen.

“But I've already made up with Mr. Night. He gave me a ton of money, so I let it go. Why hasn't the police station closed the case?"

Scarface furrowed his half-shaved brow, suspiciously asking, "Mr. Night? Not Mr. Law?"

She realized he didn't have the police’s detailed information and only knew the name Mr. Law, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Scarface innocently, making stuff up, "Yeah, Mr. Night. If you don't believe me, go ask him yourself."

Mr. Night had an even worse reputation than Cedric. He was known for forcing women, and had been in and out of the police station several times.

Scarface obviously knew this, and although he was still suspicious, he hesitated when he saw Eleanor's clueless expression.

Someone beside Scarface leaned in and whispered something to him. After, he gave Eleanor an up-and-down look and then left with his crew.

Watching their car speed away, Eleanor finally loosened her sweaty grip on the book.
