A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 711

Eleanor had bolted three times already, but each time she was tracked down and hauled back. Occasionally, she would look over her shoulder at Gianna who was casually tailing her.

Eleanor noticed Gianna was constantly on the phone, seemingly discussing something. However, she wasn't close enough to make out what she was saying, only catching Bernard's name here and there.

She had no clue if Bernard had agreed to their demands or what the current situation was. All she knew was she didn't want to be a burden to him.

Staring at the raging sea, she jumped in without a second thought after a few moments.

She had said before, if anyone tried to use her as leverage against Bernard, she wouldn't be his burden.

Gianna was busy trying to convince her adoptive father not to threaten Bernard anymore. Seeing Eleanor jump into the sea, she turned as white as a sheet.

"Eleanor!" she screamed, dropping her phone and ready to dive in after her, but Elbert beat her to it.

Elbert jumped in and vigorously swam towards the figure being swept away by the waves.

Gianna, still on the beach, could initially see two figures, one in front of the other, bobbing on the surface of the water.

But the waves were too high and the wind too strong, tossing them about until the two figures were lost from sight.

Witnessing this, Gianna felt her heart stop. She felt doomed.

Just then, several helicopters appeared in the starry night sky.

The blinding lights from the helicopters illuminated the darkness.

They landed one after the other on the beach with a thunderous noise.

Bernard, wearing white gloves, a gun in hand, and military boots, briskly stepped out of the helicopter.

The commanding aura radiating from this cool and noble man left Gianna's men too scared to even move.

The situation had taken an unexpected turn. Their plan had been to release Bernard's wife after Mr. Penrod and Mr. Law reached an agreement. How did things spiral out of control so quickly?

If Mr. Law discovered that his wife had jumped into the sea, they would likely face dire consequences themselves. The realization left Gianna's men increasingly frightened, their fear manifesting as cold sweat. However, they dared not make a move in front of Mr. Law.
