Bernard said, "Come in," and only then did Liana push the door open.
Seeing the report in her hand, Eleanor was a bit jittery, her hands clenching together tightly.
Even though she was prepared to accept any outcome, the moment of truth still made her nervous.
Liana, with a hint of a teasing attitude, glanced at Bernard and then unfolded the bag containing the report in front of them.
"What's the result?"
In contrast to Bernard's calmness, Eleanor was more anxious. She didn't wait for Liana to hand over the report; she leaned in to ask directly.
Liana pulled out the report and handed it to Eleanor: "You and Mr. Laurence are not related by blood."
Seeing the result displayed on the report, Eleanor finally let out a sigh of relief: "So it seems Elbert didn't lie to me."
She walked over to Bernard with the report in hand, pointed to the result, and said excitedly, "Darling, look, there's no relation between us; are you relieved now?"
Bernard's eyes seemed to be asking Liana if the report was real or fake. However, Liana seemed to ignore his questioning, her eyes fixed on her own toes.
Bernard didn't ask directly in front of Eleanor; he had to hold back.
Seeing Bernard's reaction to the report made Eleanor even more nervous; she thought he was acting strange. "What's wrong with you? Isn’t this the result you wanted?"
Standing by, Liana crossed her arms and leaned on the desk. Upon hearing Eleanor's question, she almost burst out laughing. "Mr. Laurence definitely wanted this result, or else he wouldn't have..."
Bernard grabbed Eleanor's hand and pulled her towards the door. "Now that the report is out, let's go back."
Eleanor still wanted to chat with Liana for a while. "There's no rush to go back, right? I want to hang out with Liana a bit longer."
Liana saw Bernard's flustered look and laughed, "Yeah, Eleanor, I have something to talk to you about..."
As soon as Eleanor heard that Liana had something to say to her, she immediately stopped. "Darling, you go ahead; can I go back with Scott later?"
With the result of the report, Eleanor was very happy, like a schoolgirl, her hands clasped together at her chest, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "With Scott by my side, I'll be fine."
