Hearing the voice on the other end, Eleanor froze for a second, surprised that the idiot was Robin.
But in an instant, she snapped back, "Didn't you say the matching failed? Why do you still want my heart? Are you guys nuts?"
Would taking it even work? Wasn’t Wendy afraid of immediate rejection resulting in death? She'd do anything ridiculous just to survive, wouldn’t she?
Robin found the situation absurd. "My mother may be mentally disturbed, but Katharine is reasonable. Once I find her, I will persuade her."
Upon hearing these words, Eleanor restrained her seething anger. "You had better convince her, or else you'll witness the terrifying wrath I am capable of!"
For some reason, as Eleanor uttered this threatening remark, Robin found himself imagining her clenching her teeth, looking ferocious...
This thought frightened him to the point where he abruptly ended the call!
Was there something wrong with Bernard's woman, causing such unpleasant images to form in his mind?
Robin flung his phone aside and slumped onto the couch. "Hmph, a woman who sells herself. Only a fool like Bernard would ever find her appealing!"
As he muttered to himself, the threatening phrase kept echoing in his ears: “...when I get angry, it's gonna get ugly!”
Next, the image of her fierce face popped up again in his mind!
"Damn, there's gotta be something wrong with my head!"
Just as he was about to call a doctor, Nathan beat him to it.
"Mr. Spencer, Katharine’s at the airport, she might be going back home. I can't beat her or stop her, what should I do?”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Robin frowned and spoke coldly, "Prepare a private jet. I'm going back to intercept her."
Bernard emerged from the bathroom and happened to see Eleanor holding his phone. A slight smirk formed at the corner of his lips. "Mrs. Laurence, are you doubting me?"
Eleanor held the phone firmly and turned to face him. "Yes, indeed. I wanted to see if Mr. Laurence was hiding anything from me."
Bernard approached, his arm encircling her waist as he pulled her into his embrace. "And what did you discover?"
Eleanor's serene face adorned a smile. "Unfortunately, I found nothing except for a sister named 'Fool' who wants to take my heart."
Bernard inquired, "Did Robin call?"
Eleanor nodded and returned the phone to him. "He mentioned that Katharine intends to claim my heart, so I should be cautious."
