A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 856

Bernard was by the sink, about to hurl his guts out.

The bodyguard standing by looked genuinely sympathetic, constantly handing him wet wipes.

Once he was pretty much done throwing up, he washed his face, took the bodyguard's wet wipe, and cleaned his hands. Then he looked at himself in the mirror, gently dabbing the corners of his mouth.

Mrs. Laurence seemed to be getting more and more ballsy. He had to teach her a lesson, or she might have the audacity to challenge him.

Just as Bernard was about to go give Eleanor a piece of his mind, Caleb's call came in.

He glanced at the bodyguard and said, "Out. Stand outside. No one gets in."

The bodyguard nodded and said, "Sure."

Once the bodyguard was gone, Bernard swiped to unlock his phone and asked, "Did you find her?"

Caleb nodded. "We found her. Sophie's not dead. She entered the black market with Mr. Ben."

Bernard's expression turned icy in a heartbeat. "Caleb, this is your biggest screw up since you joined me."

Caleb was filled with guilt and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect Mr. Ben to betray us. I didn't expect him not to get rid of Sophie."

Considering Bernard's identity was revealed in front of Sophie and Mr. Ben knew who he was, Caleb was feeling mighty jittery.

"If they tell the black market who you are, you're toast. What do we do?"

Caleb was anxious; if he could turn back time, he'd go back and knock some sense into his past self.

Why didn't he deal with the issue personally before leaving? What a blunder!

Dealing with Sophie was ancient history. The black market hadn't come after him yet.

This suggested Sophie and Mr. Ben hadn't spilled the beans about his identity. He was safe for now.

But one thing Bernard couldn't wrap his head around was: why didn't they use this ace up their sleeve?

After a few seconds of deep thought, Bernard told Caleb, "Don't tip them off. In half a year, I'll go to the black market myself to investigate."
