Blake stared at Bernard in shock. "You..."
Bernard closed his eyes, not wanting to continue the conversation. "Get out."
Blake sat there, staring blankly at Bernard. "If you don't agree to a divorce, then I can't help you hide the fact that you have half of the Pine family's blood."
Beck had agreed to keep this secret because he gave her 10% of the shares. Now that Bernard has taken back the shares, she definitely won't let it go. If she finds out that Bernard isn't getting a divorce or dealing with Eleanor, she'll spill the beans. Then what would Bernard's position be in the Laurence family?
Blake was determined to prevent Bernard from following in his father's footsteps. He was open to Cedric's advice, willing to temporarily set aside the longstanding grudges between the Pine and Laurence families. However, ethical concerns couldn't be ignored. If this secret were to be revealed, it would undoubtedly bring ridicule upon them.
Furthermore, Blake was convinced that if these two individuals were to have a child, the child's health would be compromised. Their union was simply not feasible.
Yet, Bernard boldly asserted that even if she were his sister, he wanted to be with her. This madness surpassed even that of his father's actions.
As Blake sat there, awaiting Bernard's response, he was met with silence. It seemed that Bernard disregarded these concerns entirely.
With a sigh, Blake rose from his seat. Upon reaching the door, he paused and glanced back at Bernard. "Think about it."
In the living room, Eleanor and Cedric observed Blake's somber expression as he departed. They surmised that the conversation had not gone well.
Blake looked exhausted. He was swaying as he walked, like he was about to fall. Cedric immediately stood up to help him.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Blake raised his hand and waved it off.
Clearly, he didn't want him to know what the secret was, so Cedric didn't ask any further.
"I'll take you home."
Blake nodded, and with Cedric's help, he left Fiord Roundabout.
