A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 608

Eleanor snorted, "Pearce, you knew Ethan was the one who took me. Why didn't you come to save me?"

Pearce casually brushed off the dust on his face, "I can't beat him. Trying to save you would have been suicide."

He added, "I bet the big boss of the Laurence Group wouldn't just sit back and watch. So, why not leave the hero-save-princess opportunity to him? Ain't that nice?"

Eleanor was left speechless, "You sure know yourself well."

Pearce tried to force a smile, "Self-awareness. That’s my motto!"

Before he could finish, a group of workers appeared, pointing in his direction and shouting,

"There he is. The bastard who owes us wages!"

"Everybody, raise your shovels and follow me. Let's get him!"

Eleanor could hear the sound of Pearce running away on the other end of the phone.

"Eleanor, I have spent half a year of surveying construction sites for you. I've been beaten up by these workers countless times!"

"You better remember this, when I'm back, you owe me a golden statue!!!"

Then the call was cut off, leaving Eleanor unsure whether Pearce was knocked down or had managed to escape.

After a moment of thought, she texted him. [How many more construction sites do you have left to survey?]
