At about quarter past six, the man who heard about Eleanor getting hit by his grandfather came strutting in from outside the castle, long legs moving fast.
He had a whole squad of bodyguards trailing behind him, and they all lined up behind the folks from the Laurence family who were sitting on the couch.
The scene was like they were there to wipe them out. The distant relatives of the Laurence family got a bit antsy and shrunk back.
Arlene just scoffed and sneered, "What're you up to?"
Bernard didn't even glance at her, walking straight to Eleanor and checking out her arm. The bright red mark of a cane on her exposed arm, was indented into her skin; it was clear that a lot of force had been used.
Bernard tenderly touched it, and Eleanor winced in pain. It wasn't an act - it really hurt, likely a bone injury.
When she pulled back her arm, Bernard's heart ached too. "Aidyn, get a doctor, now!"
Aidyn agreed, whipping out his phone and calling Liana, asking her to bring an orthopedic doctor ASAP.
Bernard tenderly ran his hand through Eleanor's hair, his voice filled with determination, "I will seek justice on your behalf."
Having finished speaking, he stood tall and fixed a piercing gaze upon the old man. "You were responsible for this, weren't you?"
Blake exhibited no shame as he unabashedly admitted, "So what if I was? Are you going to retaliate?"
