A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 705

Evan had heard his foster father telling stories about his youthful first love. A love that was forever out of reach. Even though he had never seen this woman's appearance, he knew that his foster father had remained a bachelor because of her.

Bernard had derailed his train of thought. Now they were discussing the affairs of the organization. What the Siren Organization originally stood for was no longer that important. What mattered most now was to stick to its current mission.

Evan solemnly promised Bernard, "I'll be with you, dude. Whether we're gonna live or die, I'll be there."

He had never expressed such loyalty to Bernard before. This was his first time. He thought Bernard would be moved by his sincerity, but Bernard didn't appreciate it. He even glanced at Evan, "You're just going to slow me down."

Evan was so mad he clenched his fists, "Bernard, don't get so full of yourself. How often have I had to clean up the mess after your actions? Do you think you can complete the mission smoothly?!"

Bernard arrogantly lifted his chin and said, "That's because it's all you're good for."

Evan was infuriated by Bernard's arrogance, thinking, "How can this guy be so smooth with words?!"

"Evan, I must go to my wife; you can see yourself out."

After Bernard finished his sentence, he got up and left.

"Are you going or not?"

Bernard did not answer and walked towards the escalator.

"Mr. Law, you think you can keep your hands clean by not going?"

"Don't forget you once showed your face in the black market. Aren't you afraid they'll come knocking?"

Mr. Law was trapped in his foster father's scheme when he agreed to go to the black market to save the child.

His foster father didn't initially want Mr. Law to get involved. But after losing so many Siren Organization members, he had no choice but to let Mr. Law give it a shot.

Before his foster father let him into the black market, he had prepared for the rescue just like before. Who would have thought he would come out safe and sound?

The fact that he came back means he has the capability. Who would take risks if the competent leader didn't hit the front line?

Evan's words slowed Bernard's pace slightly, but he didn't stop...

Looking at that cold back, Evan felt powerless and sighed.

Once the people from the black market come knocking, his wife would be the first target.

He wanted to protect his family. But he was deep in this game. How could he protect his family if he didn't eliminate these cancers?

The house was well soundproofed. Eleanor looked at the project plans in the primary bedroom and didn't hear the noise downstairs.

There were still many projects left unfinished by her sister. After she finished the wedding, she would have to speed up to complete these projects.

She was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, looking very focused. Seeing this, Bernard felt unusually peaceful...
