Eleanor lifted her head, looking at the person who was speaking, "What's your game?"
Bernard's sister, hands on hips and high heels clicking, strutted up to Eleanor, "We should off her."
The way the Pine family treated the Laurence family, is exactly how the Laurences would treat the Pine family. No one had it easy.
Eleanor wondered, when would this cycle of vengeance end? Wasn't it just fueling the fire of hatred?
But this idea, the Laurence family wouldn't buy it. They thought if divorce wasn't on the table then killing her was fair game. How cold-blooded.
Eleanor was a bit lost. She looked at Blake, "Blake, you should consider Bernard's feelings."
Using Bernard's feelings to threaten him, that was a laugh, "Ms. Elena, in this world, no one is indispensable."
Just like Bernard's father, he lost that woman, yet he still married Donna Stanley-Laurence, had kids, and Bernard could do the same.
Eleanor looked down at her own wrist, thinking of the four scars on Bernard's wrist, and fell into deep thought, "He's tried to off himself four times for me. The love between Bernard and me, it's the kind that was even more important than life itself. If either of us lost the other, we'd seek death. Do you really want to see him dead?"
Her words struck a chord in Blake. He remembered the scenes of Bernard being saved time and time again. His eyes showed a glimmer of pity, "Of course I don't want him to die, so I want you to divorce him. If you agree to the divorce, I'll ensure your safety."
Eleanor clutched her throbbing arm, her plea filled with desperation, "We've shared so many years together. Can't you see that we wouldn't just dissolve our marriage like that?"
She exerted all her efforts to sway the old man, hoping he could release his animosity and cease meddling in their union. However, Blake remained unyielding, his voice stern, "You must divorce. It is imperative that you part ways!"
