A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 876

Blake was livid, "You dare to argue with me?"

Cedric quieted down, fearing he might really piss grandpa off.

The Laurence family began to bicker, apparently demanding an explanation from Bernard.

Bernard, seated on the sofa, was losing his patience with the noisy crowd, "What my wife said is all true. The Pine family's issue has nothing to do with her. If you don't believe it, check it out yourself. If you still want to hold grudges against her, don't blame me for not showing mercy."

In short, even if the investigation results contradicted with what Eleanor said, he would firmly protect Eleanor. The Laurences seemed to have seen through his mind. But as the family patriarch, was it really a good thing to act like this for a woman?

Arlene anticipated that this woman would eventually exploit Bernard's vulnerability. Once a person in power revealed their weakness, they were bound to be taken advantage of. She eagerly awaited the day when he would regret his actions.

Unfazed by their thoughts, Bernard confidently raised his hand and signaled to his bodyguards. "Escort them out," he commanded.

The Laurence family members who had come seeking shares couldn't simply leave without a response. "Blake, say something! We can't allow this woman from the Pine family to dismiss the Laurences' grudge as if it has no relevance to her," one of them implored.

The wife of Blake’s brother, Beck squinted her weary eyes, fixing her gaze on Eleanor. "Blake, regardless of the circumstances, she is a member of the Pine family. You must handle her just as you did before. Otherwise, I won't keep your secret any longer!"

Hearing this, the Laurences started to ask, "What secret, Beck?"

Becl didn't respond, her silent gaze shifted to Blake.

Blake felt a little panicked inside, but kept cool on the surface, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know!"
